GUNS Part II

Addendum to “Guns Don’t Kill People, Liberals Do!”

Please see previous article, “Guns Don’t Kill People, Liberals Do!” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1058.

On reconsideration, that article title is woefully incorrect due to misuse of the word, “liberals.” In point of fact, that word is really another language distortion by the Left, a distortion comparable to their calling abortion “reproductive rights.”

There’s nothing remotely reproductive about aborting a pre-born baby’s life and there’s nothing even vaguely liberal about today’s American liberals.

The first definition for “liberal” on Dictionary.com is: “favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs,” whereas those who purport to be libs in America are diametrically opposed to true progress or to anything remotely resembling reform in either politics or religion.

What they endorse and advocate is not progress and reform. It is nothing less than retrogression and deformity, destruction, dissolution, and deviance from what Americans have long held true and inviolable. And it is the responsibility of all Americans to resist any efforts to impose those deviances on the rest of us.

Take the whole issue of guns, for example. Conservatives are often accused of living in the past, thrashing about in antiquated ideas and seeking to preserve the outdated meanings and intent of our Constitution, such as Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.

(Again, to save the writer the onerous task of repetition, please see the previous article on this subject.)

The past has many enticements, aside from outdoor plumbing. However, we do seek to preserve those beliefs which are anything but antiquated and which were, and are, the foundations of the greatest nation ever created on the planet.

We do indeed believe in less government, greater individual responsibility, moral and national integrity, and we believe in the Almighty God that helped make all we are and all we have possible.

We may not always live up to our ideals but we hold dear those values of patriotism, honor, and morality without which America would long ago have ended up on the scrapheap of so many other pretenders to greatness and success.

We are accused of being flag-wavers by liberals who often seem ashamed of our flag and we are often sarcastically reminded of the definition of patriotism by the 18th century curmudgeon, Dr. Samuel Johnson.

“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel,” but only for those who wrap themselves in a nation’s flag while living lives antithetical to that nation’s values. (Johnson also defined oats as “A grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.”)

Aside from the incessant, discredited, blather about banning of guns in order to keep our streets safer, refuted in my original article on this subject, another distortion of intent behind that lib nostrum, is absolute gun, and ammunition, control.

Such is the dream of the pacifist minions of the Left and such is the quickest path to subjugation and tyranny by unbridled, usurping government.

Similar to the proven wisdom of the adage that, “Si vis pacem, para bellum–If you wish for peace, prepare for war,” if we wish to continue as a free, independent, and democratic republic, we must be prepared to struggle and fight for that privilege.

Before some dolt reports me to the FBI as an insurrectionist, let me clarify . . .
