You are deemed foolish to not have a jack in your car and dangerous if you have a gun for protection????
I’ll bet this asshole would change his tune if he were hiding in a closet cowering while people were getting killed and the footsteps were coming closer.
But then again, that takes intelligence and logic, so maybe not.
I’m right there with you. I don’t talk to them because of their genetic defect that doesn’t allow them to understand the language we speak or the concepts we believe in. I, too, loath the dirty ba$tard$, and firmly believe that this country will never be right as long as they are among us. It’s time to go our seperate ways.
I used to work with a woman who had a similar outlook. She stated that she would rather be killed than use a gun to defend her life. I can’t wrap my head around that kind of thinking.
A person who doesn’t own a gun and learn to use one is saying the exact same thing.
This has to be a guy who has no children. The idea of defending one’s self and one’s children is hardwired in to us.
Liberalism is truly a dreaded disease of the mind.
An unworthy, selfish, liberal turd spilled his seed which germinated offspring. That doesn’t make one a “dad”.
;-) Thanks!!
Absolutely not!
"But as a progressive, I believe that my child's life, including my child's right to that life, are subservient to my own selfish liberal ideals and therefore my own child's life is not worth defending. I should have just aborted my child's life in the first place and saved myself the agony of having to acutally stand for something.
But I consider myself brave because I am standing up against the Constitution and the fundamental American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Any thought it might be Mark Steyn? :)
Read the whole letter below. This is pure satire.
I AM a math teacher at Brockton High School, the site of a school shooting earlier this month.
Current school security procedures lock down school populations in the event of armed assault. Some advocate abandoning this practice as it holds everyone in place, allowing a shooter easily to find victims.
An alternative to lockdown is immediate exodus via announcement. Although this removes potential hostages and makes it nearly impossible for the shooter to acquire preselected targets, it unfairly rewards resourceful children who move to safety off-site more shrewdly and efficiently than others.
Schools should level playing fields, not intrinsically reward those more resourceful. A level barrel is fair to all fish.
Some propose overturning laws that made schools gun-free zones even for teachers who may be licensed to securely carry concealed firearms elsewhere. They argue that barring licensed-carry only ensures a defenseless, target-rich environment.
But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime.

Definitely satire, and he’s darn good at it.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahaha!
Did you folks know that the word “gullible” is not even in the dictionary?
Geeze, do a simple search on the guy’s name and you’ll find out:
1) this is an old story (even here on FR)
2) this is not his only absurd LTE
3) he is a satirist approaching Jonathan Swift’s skill
Here is the full letter:
READER’S VIEW: Bad Quincy gun policies
Patriot Ledger, The (Quincy, MA) - Wednesday, September 7, 2005
Author: DOUG VAN GORDER , Quincy
A recent Patriot Ledger article informed readers that Quincy residents are planning a rally across from the police station on Sept. 17. They do so to protest Chief Crowley’s policy that Quincy residents should be denied the right to carry firearms in Massachusetts for what he terms generic self-defense.
Criminals must applaud the chief in his attempt to keep guns out of the hands of the general population. They find it hard enough to prey upon the innocent without having to worry that a potential victim might be capable of adequately defending herself.
Through his no-permits-for-self-defense policy, Crowley extends to criminals a professional courtesy ... one which proliferates crime.
Quincy needs a police chief who is one with law-abiding citizens, who will allow them to protect themselves, rather than strip them defenseless.

Neil... The guy’s a World Class satirist after all...
Thanks; I appreciate that.
I found another old letter or two of his, and it looks like he’s one of the ‘good guys’, who got tired of being ignored or ridiculed for openly stating his views, so later turned to extreme satire.
I have to wonder if he ever contributed to The People’s Cube, especially their old “Commies for Kerry” campaign.
No, it's actually much worse than that. If you read his statement again, you'll see that he said, "I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime."
See, it's the BELIEF, not the action of protecting children with a gun, that gives him the freakout. The belief is what he doesn't want, and of course that in turn results in him refusing to protect the children. But he's afraid of giving in to the belief.
Amazing.
