“Something that gives the most common man the most uncommon of freedoms.”

When I took English 101 in college (frightening experience for somebody who recently finished ESOL) one of the things I got chided about was how often I used cliches on my assignments. The teacher kindly explained that overused expressions are an easy way out but that they detracted from my work. The only thing I could tell him was that they were not cliches but rather fresh expressions for a foreigner like me.  He understood my position but still kicked my butt and I had to thank him for that.

That brings me to the most hated (by me) derogatory cliche used by media against any gun owner: Pistol Packing or its even more insulting Pistol Packin’. Do notice it is not Pistol Packing but Pistol Packin‘ as if we were missing a front tooth as to enhance the notion that people who carry guns are somehow crossbred retards.

How is it that deciding to be responsible for your own safety became a topic of derision by the “enlightened” ones is beyond me.  Then again this is America and if it is your choice to be an Useless Unarmed Idiot, you do have that right. And I do hope I don’t have to read your sob story on how a gang of miscreants used you as a ATM/Punching Bag/Sex Toy and ask me to feel sorry for you.

From Everyday, No Days Off Gun Blog brings this very polite note.

Now that is a neighborhood business.. whatever they sell. 🙂

When you see it, you will say “Hell Yeah!”

Remember always: It is not the choices you make that bear responsibility for your actions. It is never your fault even if you did it on your won. No sir, no way, no how: it was the gun and the violence that emmanates from an inanimate piece of metal.

That’s according to Meredith Mandell and Elizabeth Llorent, staff writers for  NorthJersey.com as the weave the tale of poor Mathew Malave. You see, poor Matt’s mistake was not that he was in a gang or that he was dealing dope (what kid nowadays does not do something like that?) or that he got shot twice for his extra curricular activities, Matt’s mistake is that he succumbed to the siren’s call of a gun that jumped like a cursed object in his hands and transformed him into a killer.

I can only guess that the writers of the article and many anti-gunners believe that gun makers add some sort of evil zombie additive to selected guns. This additive will transform any rational person into a Jason Vorhees or Freddy Kruger-like killer that will mow little children in a park without any remorse. But never that people are responsible for their actions or decisions and that the “enlightened” souls are the true at fault for their stupid social engineering and feel-good philosophy they’ve been shoving down our throats.

Jennifer had a great post regarding Hollywood types and their need to be communicational stupid in a grandiose scale. In her honor, I give you this:

Hollywood actors seem to think they are at the command of the world and must impose their will and thoughts on people. The latest moron to spew what any rational person would consider Hate Speech is actor John Cusack who in his twitter account wrote:

“I AM FOR A SATANIC DEATH CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES ORDICK ARMEYAND NEWT GINGRICH-and all the GOP WELFARE FREAKS,”

John is a good actor and have enjoyed some of his movies but it is sad to see what their own overdeveloped sense of self importance can do tho his mind. Of course (and no doubt influenced by his publicist/media consultants) he said it was all a joke. Of course we knew it was, we know how spiritually advanced these Hollywood types are and how well they respect other points of views and everybody’s rights.<snicker>

More and more Hollywood reminds me of a Carnival’s Freak Show. And we are so advanced now that we don’t have to sneak inside a seedy tent after paying a dime to see the bearded lady or the fish man, they come out to play in the streets for free!
