Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a Scientology front group. I otherwise thought the article was right on target.
I was wondering.
When the power went out last month, I went out to buy an extra gas can. There was this huge, bizarre warning label printed on the side. (something like “good parents don’t use gasoline to start a fire”).
These labels usually let me know that, however strange the warning, there’s some idiot out there who did something incredibly stupid and then sued.
Why stop short just for shooter video games? Why not include all movies/tv shows/all forms of entertainment inducstries?
If we only produce fluffy bunnies and adorable kitten/puppies shows, and ‘everybody LOVES and is loved’ teaching all day long at schools and public places, that should completely solve the ‘violent culutre’ problems ........
Didn’t Jamie Fox just make a movie where he brags about killing white people?
Didn’t a preacher who is a Union leader just threaten a Governor, and his children ?
Didn’t the little midget Scientologist Tom Cruise just make a movie they won’t show in Connecticut now because of the killings?LOL Tom Cruise as a fighting agent is a joke to start with.He might frighten his ex-wives, but no one else.
“Fairness” is the left’s nirvana, utopia, and heaven on earth.
It doesn’t matter what level that equality/fairness occurs at, just as long as “everyone is in the same boat”.
Preppers are going to mess that all up. They’re going to be better off in the collapse than others, and “that’s not fair”. Leftists hate that.
We already saw a sampling of this attitude when some pol was complaining about “the rich” having generators after Sandy hit.
I was buying antifreeze the other day, next to the antifreeze were gas cans, prominently displayed on gas cans “gasoline and fire do not mix”- well DUH any moron knows gas and fire do not mix. Then it occurred to me that many morons are really maroons and need to be warned of this fact.
Bump for later
All the smug people that sneer at old fashioned, out of date values are trying to blame an inanimate object for the behavior of dysfunctional people.
I think you have to be 17 to buy games that are rated Mature. Many parents buy them for their younger teens.
Sneering at old fashioned, out of date values is simply the left’s way of defying the 5th commandment.
You can go through the 10 Commandments and easily point out how the left’s “values” are in direct opposition.
Liberalism is simply the political expression of humanism, which was founded by Satan.
“But of course most of our politicians are not interested in common sense. Instead, they are obsessed with the idea that gun control will make our country “safe” again.”
Gun control is not about making the citizens safe, it all about making sure they do not rebel against the people who enable the lawaless to prey upon the citizens.
Actually, gasoline and fire mix spectacularly well.
Two problems: warning labels designed by dumb people who are trying to warm consumers who don’t know the very, very basics of chemistry.
I have a number of their yellow Diesel cans. Though the risk oassociated with Diesel storage and transfer is much less than that of gasoline, the same warning is molded into the side of the “can” under the word “Diesel”.
So that's what you derived from my comment? Read it again.
You are correct.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Commission_on_Human_Rights
“The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a Scientology front group which campaigns against psychiatry and psychiatrists.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] It was established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz,[10][11][12] and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.[13]
“The organization holds that mental illness is not a medical disease, and that the use of psychiatric medication is a destructive and fraudulent practice.[14] CCHR follows the Scientology doctrine that psychiatrists (’psychs’) are the primary cause of evil in society:[15][16]”
I agree. Repurpose the BATFE to exclusively root out all ATFE from media offerings?
(Essentially defunding Hollyweird)
Mass Killings Stopped by Armed Citizens
Pacifism: The Ultimate Immorality by Raymond Kraft
Last week, Jack and Jill Pacifisto were walking home through the park after dinner with friends, during which they had spent a few hours discussing the immorality of violence and war and their commitments to send more money to progressive activists over the next year. Suddenly, Tony Thug stepped out of the shadows and pointed a pistol at Jack and said, “Give me your wallet,” and, pointing the gun at Jill, “Your purse.”
“What?” asked Jack, incredulous, “Hey, we don’t want any trouble. We’re pacifists. We aren’t going to hurt you.”
“Not my problem,” said Tony, “Gimme your money.”
So Jack and Jill did, and then Tony said, “And now gimme your watches, rings, jewelry, everything worth anything.”
“Hey,” said Jill, “This is my wedding ring!”
And Tony said, “Not my problem.”
Jack and Jill handed over their wallet, and purse, and all their jewelry and Rolex watches, and then Tony shot them both twice in the chest and picked up the loot and stepped back into the shadows.
As Jill lay dying she whispered, “Jack? Why didn’t you fight back? Why didn’t you have a gun?” Those were her last words.
“I couldn’t,” whispered Jack. “I’m a pacifist.” Those were his last words.
A few days later, Bill Thaxton and his wife were walking home through the park after dinner, when Tony Thug stepped out of the shadows.
“Give me your wallet, your purse,” said Tony, pointing his gun first at Bill, and then at his wife. He did not know that Bill was an old lawman, and had been a Marine sniper when he was young, and was active in the Single Action Shooters Society and had a concealed-carry-permit. Tony assumed that the old man was just an old man with some money and a few credit cards in his wallet walking home from dinner.
“Sorry, friend, I don’t like guns, and I don’t want any trouble,” said Bill.
“Not my problem,” said Tony, “Gimme your wallet, your purse,” he said, waving the gun at Bill’s wife, “Rings, watches, everything.”
“And what if I don’t?” asked Bill.
“I’ll shoot you both. Her first,” said Tony, pointing his gun at Bill’s wife again.
“Well,” said Bill, “Okay, honey, do what he says.”
She tossed down her purse. Bill reached slowly for his left lapel with his right hand and then, like lightning, did a cross-draw with his left and came out blazing with his trusty little 9, nailing Tony three times.
As he lay on the sidewalk dying, Tony Thug was heard to mutter, “Damn, I shoulda stuck with the pacifists . . .”
An acquaintance wrote me last week to tell me proudly how he had been a pacifist since the ‘60s. His letter set me thinking about pacifism, which is the ultimate and vilest form of immorality.
If you are Hitler, or Saddam, or Osama, or Ahmadinejad, your desire to kill those you dislike is at least honest and open. You wear you hate on your sleeve and we know who and what you are. But the Pacifist wears his refusal to resist evil as if it were a badge of honor, and claims it as a sign of his or her absolute moral superiority. The Hitlers and Osamas are at least honest about who they are, the Pacifist is not. Not even to himself.
The German Pastor Martin Niemoller wrote a poem circa 1946 about the quiescence of German intellectuals in the face of the Nazi rise to power that has become famous. Translated, it reads:
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent,
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists
I did not speak out,
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews
I did not speak out,
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me
there was no one left to speak out.
The Pacifist says something like this, but, unlike Niemoller, without apology. He says:
When you come for my allies
I will not fight you,
for I am a Pacifist.
When you come for my countrymen
I will not fight you,
for I am a Pacifist.
When you come for my neighbor,
I will not fight you,
for I am a Pacifist.
When you come for my mother,
my father, my brother,
my sister, I will not fight you,
for I am a Pacifist.
When you come for my wife,
my husband, my son,
my daughter, I will not fight you,
for I am a Pacifist.
When you come for me,
I will not fight you,
for I am a Pacifist.
The Pacifist claims that he (or she) is too good to fight against evil, and this is the catastrophic intellectual and moral failure of Pacifism. In the guise of being too good to oppose evil, the Pacifist invokes the ultimate immorality by aiding and abetting and encouraging evil, on the pretext of being too pure, too wise, too sophisticated to fight evil, thereby turning the pretense of goodness and purity into an invocation and license for evil to act without opposition.
The moral stance of the Pacifist is, unwittingly perhaps, homicidal, genocidal, fratricidal, suicidal. The Pacifist says, in effect: “There is nothing good worth fighting for. And there is nothing so evil worth fighting against.”
The Pacifist is willing to give evil free reign, because he or she thinks or feels that fighting against evil is even worse than evil itself . . . an intellectual and moral equivocation of monumentally staggering proportions. In order to be a Pacifist, one must hold that Nazism or Islamism or Communism or any other puritanical totalitarian ideology that seeks to slaughter or oppress all the Jews or all of any other race or tribe is no worse, is not morally inferior, to the existence of Jews and Judaism, or whatever other race or tribe is the whipping boy of the day.
To be a Pacifist, one must hold that acquiescence to a Jihad that seeks to destroy Western Civilization is no worse than Western Civilization, even though the Jihad seeks to extinguish intellectual freedom, religious freedom, political freedom, and ultimately even the freedom to be a Pacifist.
As the English philosopher Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” The Pacifist replies, “I am so good that I will do nothing, I will hurt no one, even if that means that good will be destroyed and evil will win. I am so peaceful that I will not discriminate between the goodness of good and the badness of evil, certainly not with enough conviction to take up arms, literally or figuratively, against the triumph of evil over good, of totalitarianism over freedom, of barbarianism over civilization.”
And so the Pacifist, perhaps unthinkingly, unwittingly, mistakenly, is deeply mired in his intellectual confusion, but surely and unequivocally, the epitome of evil itself, For the Pacifist devoutly believes that by refusing to fight against evil he is affirming that he is good, too good and pure to oppose evil, too good and pure to fight evil, to good and pure to kill evil. But in the end, he is the enabler without whom the triumph of evil would not be possible.
But, of course, our politicians aren’t interested in COMMON SENSE.

I agree with you. I’m confused how that relates to my post though. :)
