A THANK YOU LETTER TO A PEACE PROTESTOR

The View From Arlen | Wednesday, March 05, 2003

Apologies to those who've already seen this. It speaks for itself.


The Rabbit's Got the Gun

You can spout about free speech and you can tell me mine's unworthy
You can pummel me with protest signs and emit sounds unearthly
You can yell that Bush is Hitler till your vocal chords are done--
But it ain't no fun a-huntin', when the rabbit's got the gun.

Back in the years of Clinton when your message dominated
You sneered and snidely chided while I stood by, all frustrated
And I had to choke the dust of all that evil man had done
But it ain't no fun a-huntin', when the rabbit's got the gun.

So just trot out your celebrities, the Limo Libs all lined up
And skew your evening news polls, when the mindless mob you've signed up
Don't forget to yell, "You fascist!" as to Hollywood you run
But you won't be rejoicing long-- the rabbit's got the gun.

You would not help our country while we took down the dictator
And now you mouth of human rights? Well, I say, see ya later!
Go find a little island where you all can have your fun
Cause it ain't no fun a-huntin', when the rabbit's got the gun.

The First Amendment isn't there for those you disagree with?
Just the Birkenstocked, be-dreaded crowd you have your herbal tea with?
Or the socialists who've tried to harm this country from Day One?
The little rabbit's twitchin', and she's handy with the gun.

The USA is sick of how you run down our real heroes
And all you have are Mike and Tim and Janeane, all real zeroes
George W showed up in time to spoil all your fun
I recommend you hide real fast. The rabbit's got the gun.

You'll probably take this as a threat, and feel all persecuted
When all I'm trying to say is, now your glory days are booted!
Immerse yourself in history, throw off the shackles, Hon
'Cuz you and Bill will hunt no more. The rabbit's got the gun.

Thanks for posting that. I posted an article that illustrates the inherent dishonesty and moral contradiction when foolish people say they "support the troops" but oppose the war against Saddam.

Below is quote that also explains the loopy, self-serving nature of leftist assertions:

"George Orwell once remarked that political thought, especially on the left, is a sort of masturbation fantasy in which the world of fact hardly matters..."--Avram Noam Chomsky, 1969

EXCELLENT JOB!

Thanks so much for posting the note and links!

Your daughter will come around. I know it's hard but try to be patient. She is very young yet and is drawing conclusions without any real life experience. As time passes, she will learn more about life- she's just a kid now and may see your anger as a sign of your caring for her.

For the sake of your own health man, your anger should be parlayed into constructive action against the local officials who are interfering with your personal beliefs and raising of your daughter.

Local school officials are paid by you and your fellow citizens to educate your daughter not encourage her to parrot their personal political beliefs.

BTW, are you and your fellow citizens aware of what certain local officials are doing to Tom Pine?- he also lives in Ithaca and owns a property which some builder named Ciminelli wants to buy from him to build a hotel and a office building on the same property. As it turns out, the hotel is not even commercially viable in its own right and some characters are engineering some Enronesque financing scheme that uses taxpayer dollars to subsidize the scam and fund kickbacks!

Certain Ithaca officials have threatened Pine that if he does not "go along" and sell his property to Ciminelli, they will initiate eminent domain proceedings to seize it and hand it over to Ciminelli themselves!

Also, a widow co-owns the property and the local players over there have ignored her completely!

What is going on over there?

Do you and your fellow citizens want your hard earned taxmonies wasted brainwashing kids with anti-American slogans and stealing private property and abusing productive, law-abiding citizens?

If no, tell the Ithaca officials involved No Mean NO!

Thanks! He's a good kid.
