Reader’s Digest used to have a feature called The Perfect Squelch (maybe it still does) with great comeback zingers. An example would be a woman telling
Winston Churchill that if she was married to him she would poison his drink. His comeback: “Madame If I were married to you, I would drink it.”
Toejam sent me this Twitter conversation a woman named Carol Roth had with that effete British snob, Piers Morgan.

Bravo!
That’s a classic, right there.
Well played, kitteh. Well played.
….end of conversation.
Say what you will about Jeremy Clarkson, but he elevated himself FOREVER in my eyes when he punched that insufferable bastard in the face..
Heck, we’ve gone downhill since the American Revolution. Subjects of the King could own cannon!
Not just cannons… warships.
Otherwise, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 would be pointless.
A nice bitch slapping. I’d buy her a drink for that. 🙂
The 2nd Amendment was written by people with living memory of Lexington and Concord, and the British attempt to suppress the colonists by seizing their arms (and that subsequent “shot heard ’round the world”). I believe the goal of the Founders was to prevent our own government from ever doing to the people what the British tried to do. That is to say, free people cannot be disarmed.
I am always amazed at the way certain liberals can analyze the 2nd Amendment in minute detail, explaining why “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is meaningless, while at the same time finding clear Constitutional basis for a man marrying another man, or abortion, or the Obamacare mandate, etc etc etc.
In the early Republic, the Second Amendment was interpreted as mandating gun ownership, inspection of guns to prove they were in working order, and regular drills…
Times bein’ different, the dot-gov ain’t gonna know what guns I have, ain’t gonna inspect ’em and won’t know if I can drill or what tactics I might favor.
Damn that was a real zinger. A snappy comeback if ever there was one!! God Bless her!
Great bitch slap!
Piers Morgan, you have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.
Armored vehicles aren’t mentioned in the Constitution either. When I lived in the north side of Milwaukee, I had this vivid fantasy where I commanded a German Tiger tank and drove up and down the street giddily blowing up crack houses, running over purple Cadillacs, and mowing down gangbangers. Serious urban renewal. One can only dream . . .
Purple Cadillacs! I love this blog. Meanwhile Ferguson is ready to burn to the ground, should take a page out of Daryl Gates of the LAPD’s playbook and let them go ahead and do it. It’s a sort of urban renewal…
You CAN’T make this shit up, effing brilliant! Piers go EFF off to jolly old england you smug limey D.B.
Awesome. Well done, madam.
Shame this turd Brit cannot add 1+1 = The math being the 2nd Amendment guarantees the 1st Amendment. Maybe its time to quote Quickly (down Under) “We ran all the riff raff from our country”
These hypocritical assholes are more than eager to apply the First and Fourth Amendments to protect all new forms of communication (as they well should), but somehow when it comes to the Second it’s a totally different matter. It’s amazing how prescient our forefathers supposedly were about protecting email, text messages, telephone conversations, etc., but apparently they had no clue weapon technology would ever change, per the liberal mindset.
Using Piers’ logic, the First Amendment applies only to quill pens, parchment, and hand presses.
