pepper spray may be the answer
for a panhandler who is out of
control
I heard an interview with Robert Duvall who said that his favorite role was as
Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Tommy Lee Jones played Woodrow Call, his
partner. Just before taking Ricky Schroeder on his first south-of-the-border escapade
to steal horses from another horse thief, Jones gives Schroeder a six-shooter and says,
“Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.”
Fast forward 120 years and come into the real world, too, and you just won’t find
a better reason to carry some pepper spray every time you leave the house. It’s the
logical thing to do, but it isn’t any fun to think about it. So DON’T THINK ABOUT IT, just
do it. Pretend you’re a liberal, and close your mind to all other possibilities.
In this one particular case, acting like a liberal may be the very best course of action.
Liberals have learned how to make themselves impervious to anything that threatens to
keep them from achieving their goal. Here’s an example.
For whatever reason, liberals seem to be immune to conservative arguments about
the fallacy, the sheer illogic that is the essence of liberalism. Sometimes it seems to me
that the problem is that liberals simply will not listen to anything a conservative says, and
so how can one reply sensibly to something they haven’t heard in the first place?
So conservatives take to the blogs to try to make their point. Some writers are good at
it, some so-so, and then some just knock you over with the power of their simplicity. If
only I could have written something that good, I say to myself whenever I find a good
example.
Here’s something that, if a liberal would take 30 seconds to read it, might do them a world
of good, might go a long way to opening their mind:
“The redwood deck is beloved, not the falling coast redwood tree; kitchen granite counters are de rigueur, not the blasting at the top of the granite mountain; the Prius is a badge of honor, not the chemical plant that makes its batteries; we now like stainless steel frigs, but hate steel’s coke, and iron ore, and electricity lines; arugula is tasty, not the canal that brings water 400 miles to irrigate it; I support teacher unions and ***-studies courses in the public schools, but not with my Ivy-League bound children.”
What’s great about this paragraph is that it should make a lib stop and think, if only for a
second or 2, just where all their “sacred,” “green” products come from. Where DOES arugula come from? How DOES a battery power a Prius? Here’s the link for the rest of that post, from Victor Davis Hanson, which will open in a new window.
Of course the truth is that there are many, many libs who just don’t care anymore about
the whys and the wherefores. All those libs want is to stop the United States dead in its
tracks. They are so intent on accomplishing this that they have never even stopped to
consider what the impact of their own success would have on their own lives. They have
come to believe that somehow they have a protective cocoon around themselves that will
isolate them, prevent them, from experiencing the anguish and hardship that the country
will go through if the economy gets destroyed.
They never, ever see themselves as the accomplices in a crime who later, once their own
contributions are no longer needed, get eliminated by the higher-ups. No, not them. They see
themselves as being rewarded for their efforts. For all the lies and hatred and venom they
spewed on behalf of the cause, they just KNOW that they will receive their just rewards. And they
will, too.
It doesn’t ever dawn on them that for the culture of death they’ve worked all their lives
for, the ultimate reward that will be bestowed on them is death itself. It’s a perfectly logical
ending for them, it’s just that they can’t see that it’s coming. They’ve never stopped to
think about what they’re doing, what their goal is, and they will truly be surprised by it
when it happens, but it will be too late.
For proof of this, one need only check the history books and research what happened to
all the journalists, all the supporters, of every left-wing revolution that has occurred since
1900. Not that that proof will penetrate a liberal’s closed mind, but it IS our Christian
duty to at least try to save them.
I know that the odds are that not one single liberal will learn anything from what’s
posted here, but you can. You can be ready to defend yourself when the situation calls
for it.
And remember this above all else. The police only show up AFTER you’ve been
assaulted. Up to that point, you’re on your own.
