be better off armed, given that around 60,000 of their compatriots are killed

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Kurt Schlichter 3/29
Every Word Liberals Say About Guns Is A Lie
Let’s
start out with a basic premise – if you are a healthy, law-abiding American
citizen you should own, and be proficient with, effective firearms and have
sufficient ammunition on hand to act to defend yourself, your family, your
community, and your Constitution. That’s what free people do.
Of
course, it’s the people who don’t have those tools – backed up by the
random goofy vet who tweets pics of himself turning in his personal weapons to
baffled and embarrassed law enforcement officers – who want to take your
firearms from you……Wait, no, that’s crazy talk. No one wants to take
your guns! No one! Stop talking crazy like that because it’s crazy! And that
sign the weirdo at the March for Fewer Rights is holding that says “Harry
Potter Would Ban Assault Weapons”? What sign? This is just about common sense
gun regulations, not gun control! And all the speakers wanting to ban guns?
You, uh, misheard them. Oh wait, now Justice McCryptkeeper has an op-ed in the
New York Times called “Repeal the
Second Amendment.” Damn it, he’s off message!
..You
know, if liberals propose to gaslight us, to make us think we are insane for
seeing what we are looking at, then they really need to be more … subtle…..Here’s
the deal – everything the liberals say about guns is a lie. Every. Single.
Thing.
It’s
a lie when they scream that you can hit the Guns-2-Go drive-thru and buy
yourself a fully semi-automatic assault machine gun with high-powered 5.56 mm
rounds, because glorified 5.56 mm rounds are “high-powered” on their planet,
faster and quicker than you can call an Uber.
It’s a lie when they say an armed citizenry would be
powerless in the face of a
leftist government equipped with tanks and artillery and bombers – though their
assumption that a leftist government would use tanks and artillery and bombers
on the American people seems like a pretty good reason for having an
armed citizenry.
It’s
a lie when they say they only want to have a “conversation” and seek only
“bipartisan compromise.”….the other side’s goal is simple – they want us disarmed.
But why? They know that Normal Americans are perfectly capable of safely owning
all kinds of firearms. You slice the Democrat-run blue cities out of the
statistics and America’s gun murder rate is comparable to Mr. Roger’s
Neighborhood. They absolutely know that. But that’s not remotely the point. What
they cannot abide is us Normals being proud and free.
To
disarm us would forever convert us from citizens to subjects. They get that our
identity is wrapped up not in our guns themselves, but in the fact that armed
we have the ability to control our destiny. If necessary, an armed citizenry
can tell those who would trample our rights, “No” – and to back it up with
force if necessary.
Liberals
constantly sneer that we are “insecure about our masculinity” and “need guns to
feel like men.” Leaving aside the millions of gun-owning women out there who
don’t seem to fit within that stupid paradigm, and the irony of leftist doofs
opining on manhood, liberals miss the point. We don’t need guns to be men. We
need guns to be free men.
They
yearn to see us humbled. They ache to see us made into serfs. That we defy them
is bad enough. But they cannot tolerate that we maintain our dignity – the
dignity of a citizen that comes with having a say in your own governance and
exercising your rights with neither apology nor limitation – and that we
maintain our dignity in the face of their hatred and contempt.
They
want us disarmed because they want us disenfranchised, discouraged, and no
longer disobedient. They want us broken.
But
they can’t break us. Even if they had the votes to overturn our constitutional
rights – do you think they would stop at the Second Amendment and not move
on to the First Amendment next? – the fact that a bunch of aspiring dictators erased the
words from the parchment means nothing. Our right to speak and worship freely,
and our right to keep and bear arms, were merely cited by the
Constitution. That paper did not grant them. The government did not grant them,
and the government cannot take them away. Every American was endowed with those
rights by his Creator, and as long as we have the will to defend our
rights, no collection of
creeps is ever going to take them away from us.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“M.L. King’s movement shone light on the fact that there was
pain and suffering in the country because there were still Americans who were
not free. That is what needed to be fixed. Today’s movement against guns and
the Second Amendment aims in the opposite direction. The claim of this movement
is that we have pain and suffering in our nation because we are too free. The
marchers and others are telling us we can make a better nation by using the
force of government to scale back our freedoms.”
-Star Parker
“We do [education] all wrong. We put our kids in huge,
locked compounds with lots of little, boxy rooms, and enslave them to a bell
that has no concern for what they happen to be doing when it’s time to switch
rooms. We take away all their responsibility for their behavior and learning, and are surprised when they lose interest in
the business at hand. We turn schools into something resembling prisons and
scratch our heads when our children come out of them ill-prepared for the adult
world.”
-Cheryl Magness
“If you want to save millions of lives, ban abortion, not
guns.”

GLOBALONEY
The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming
Scare
The biggest albatross of environmentalism is its
well-deserved reputation for apocalypticism: the world is always going to come
to and end because of. . . plastic bags! Bee colony collapse disorder!
Endocrine disruptors! Velociraptors! And of course the big one: climate change (formerly
known as global warming). This apocalyptic outlook always comes with the same
sort of moral unctuousness you associate with a fire-and-brimstone street
preacher: repent of your fossil-fool ways! Why, people often ask me, are
environmentalists so gloomy about the human prospect? I have a simple answer:
it makes them happy. Seriously: if you point out to environmentalists the data
showing many environmental problems on the national and global scale are
improving, they usually go into a rage. Good news is bad news.

EASTER
As one billion Christians around the world gather on Easter
Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is worth reminding
every American about the Christian origins of our constitutional republic. Three
key theological concepts from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th and 17th
centuries–congregational self governance, the covenantal nature of the
relationship between man and God, and the free will of individuals to
choose–eventually formed the basis for notions of popular sovereignty and self
governance that our founders used in writing and approving the Declaration of
Independence and Constitution.

LEFTIST WATCH
Obama’s CIA director John Brennan was a big fan of Gus Hall,
head of Communist Party USA, beginning in 1959 until his death in 2000. Not
even Joe Stalin as a Party general secretary came close to matching Gus Hall’s
interminable tenure…..it looks like Brennan also suggested that he might
have been a member of the Communist Party in 1980. Yes, a formal member.

intentionally distorted public policy to accommodate their own profit-making.

TV, FILM
At the beginning of March, the Academy Awards featured
performers talking about “intersectionality” and Dreamers and jokes about how
an Oscar-nominated movie about a gay awakening was made to annoy Mike Pence —
and the show got the lowest ratings in history. Tuesday night, the premiere
episode of the revival of “Roseanne” featured a working-class grandmother
saying grace before dinner and concluding with thanks for “making America great
again” — and the show
got the highest ratings of any network program in six years. Hollywood
is now faced with indisputable evidence that there’s a huge potential audience
out there for programs that don’t actively insult 63 million Trump voters.
The
reboot of ABC’s “Roseanne” premiere on Tuesday to a staggering 18.2 million viewers.
Now, another well-known show could be making its way back to television. According
to TMZ,
FOX is reportedly considering a reboot of Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing.” The
show was canceled last year following rumors that it had to do with Allen’s
conservative-leaning beliefs.

Are you ready? Here is all the data Facebook and Google have

you. I’ve requested to download it and the file is 5.5GB big,
which is roughly 3m Word documents.”
This
needs to stop: Since taking office,
President Trump has phased out President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals program for illegal aliens, initiated a travel ban, put in a place a
new policy on refugees, and stripped federal grants from sanctuary cities. So,
why aren’t any of these policies in place? Because each of them has been
blocked by individual judges at the lowest level of the federal judiciary.
District judges, empowering themselves with a judicial tool known as the national
injunction, have
single-handedly blocked the president from implementing his electoral mandate.
While giving a speech in Mumbai, India, Clinton boasted that
she "won the places that represent two-thirds of America's gross domestic
product." She went on: "So I won the places that are optimistic,
diverse, dynamic, moving forward."
She’s wrong. For at least the
last two decades, most of the dynamism and growth -- as measured by population
movements, income growth and job creation -- has been fleeing from the once
economically dominant blue states that Clinton won and relocating to the red
states that Trump won.
