A Minor Ron Rant
Ron and I disagree on Trump but we’re usually in sync most other places.
Posted somethin on a blog yesterday and then had to explain it. Read this somewhere: “those who fail to recognize the irony of having a ban on guns enforced by men with automatic weapons will very likely never comprehend the reason the 2nd Amendment was written.” Those aren’t the exact words, but close enuf.
What troubled me was that ANYbody on a conservative blog would need ANY explanation of that rather self-explanatory truth. But, I guess not all conservatives think alike. I heard yesterday that Trump is planning to challenge the NRA on the “assault weapon” issue.
Well, I have never seen the need for private citizens to have extended-mag, fully-automatic weapons, but that’s not the point. Not the point at all. Chip away long enough at the base of a monument and eventually it’ll come crashin down. And once the 2nd has lost its teeth, they’ll come for the 1st. And so on. THAT’s the point.
But . . . there’s just enough residual Americanism left in our culture to make uninformed, wussified, limousine-liberal, entitlement junkies believe that their ignorance of our culture and history is just as valid as our thorough understanding of what made the country a success in the first place.
We have a CEO who said he’d bring hope and change to the place, but the only hope I can see is that someone can come along to repair the damages his changes have wrought. He took TR’s speak softly and carry a big stick and changed it into speak vaguely and carry a putter.
Then of course there’s the second in the string of firsts he initiated, and she’s changed the action movie title “Die Hard With A Vengeance” to “Lie Hard With A Vagina.” Somewhere along the line in that trend greed kidnapped ethics and lust for power placed morality under close arrest.
HRC needs a frontal lobotomy and DJT needs a partial glossectomy (surgical removal of the tongue, in case you didn’t know). Of course BHO needs a long rest on one of Saturn’s minor moons, JFK (Kerry) needs 7.62mm ventilation port directly above his nose, and Josh Earnest needs his sphincters glued shut followed by a steady diet of Van Camp’s pork ‘n’ beans with San Miguel beer.
I’ll let you use your own inventiveness for some of the others, such as Al Sharpton, Lo-Retta Lynch, Jeh Johnson, and Mooch. I just don’t think our political system should be run like some kind of final championship sporting event where one team wins and the other loses. I like the balance of power aspect of the adversarial setup and the 3 separate branches, but I don’t much care for the “I won, so kiss my ass!” routine, especially when it’s MY money they’re using for their dealmaking.
They need to just stop . . . and smell the hypocrisy . . . then remember that a patriotic statesman thinks of the next generation when he considers a vote; a self-absorbed politician thinks of the next election. And the problem with that is that the guys who set up this shindig never imagined that Congress would be a career, certainly not a lucrative one.
O.K. Go back to what you were doing. I’m out.
