A Rant

Johnny gets yer guns!

Most don’t know this [because most don't care to research for themselves, content instead to be spoon-fed their information from state-approved sources] but John McCain (Media – AZ) [hereinafter referred to as Johnny Windsock] is no fan of firearms, nor a proponent of the Second Amendment.

Chuck Baldwin recently wrote about how ol’ Johnny Windsock has a history of UN-like statist views of private gun ownership.  The Gun Owners of America give Windsock an F-minus because he lo-o-o-o-oves him some Constitution.  Puh-lease!  Looking at these two, Windsock and Huckleberry, I can’t decide which one is Tweedledum, and which is Tweedlestupid.  Or maybe it’s not them.  Maybe it’s the Republican base.  [The vast majority of which is Southern evangelical Christians™.  Conservative Southern evangelical Christians™.  People like me... but not really so much like me, can ya' dig?]

Wake UP!  There are far, far worse things in this world than Hillary Clinton, people!  Are you really so scared of men – men, humans [!] – that you’d mortgage your “lives, [y]our fortunes, [y]our sacred Honor” to Oz, the Great and Terrible, in hopes of a few more years of comfort, no matter how dictated, how controlled, how surveilled? [If I hear one more person ask me, "why do you care whether the gummint's listening, if you're not doing anything wrong?," I tell you, "I [will] stab him 76 times.  I [will] gouge out his eyes, I [will] cut off his fingers, I [will] not hesitate.  But that’s me.” (With apologies to Laura Linney and Gregory Hoblit)(And William Diehl)(And anyone with a weak stomach)]

Why is it that thinking, believing people are so willing to go all heels-up for the state when there’s an idiot with an “R” after his name [as opposed to an idiot with a "D" after his name] at the wheel?  Yeah, sure, Romans 13 says that all governments are instituted by God [which kinda makes you wonder why Christians™ are so gung-ho to take down those they are told – by the gummint – not to like], but only because we’re too stoopud to accept God as our King; he gives us what we ask for, and we get what we get.

So, what do you want?

Ihre Papiere, bitte.  [Your papers, please.  Auf Deutsch.]

How do we keep the terrists out? How do we keep our society safe?

Do we enforce immigration and Visa laws?  Do we defend our borders by, say, actually defending our borders?  Can we even just build a stupid fence already?

What? No, no, no… you’ve got it all wrong!  We don’t need to go do all that [rational, logical, and effective] stuff!  There’s a much easier boondoggle way!

The REAL ID!

That’s right! Now, we can, without federal support, but under federal decree, ensure that the Very Bad Men don’t hurt us by simply telling every single law-abiding citizen that, before he can do anything as simple as go to the store for some milk, he must be able to prove to any requesting government official that he actually is who he says he is, and has a right to be doing whatever it is that he’s doing!

Invasion of privacy?  Surrendering of basic civil rights in the name of a questionable promise of a minimal increase in public safety?  Police state?  What are you talking about?!!??

It’ll keep the terrists away!  I tell you, it’s better than DEET!

Besides, this is America, dagnabbit!  Founded on those inspiring, immortal words, “Give me Liberty, or give me a really good reason to kvetch!”

Bobby doesn’t get your guns!

Congress apparently agrees that they, after all, actually will have to pry them from your “cold, dead hands.”  ‘Bout time they got something right.

And who pushed this?  None other than the fresh-faced new Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal.  [Then-Congressman (R-LA)] Keep an eye on this guy; he’s going places. [And not just to the bank, like his predecessors]

One final thought

Came across this, couldn’t pass it up:
