Thoughts For The Day

Mark Urbin has passed this along to us:

Someone's seriously this dumb?

And we allow them to vote?

Do I have to lecture on the practicality of semiautomatic versus selective fire weapons?  Or the sheer idiocy of deliberately damaging any component of a weapon?

The absolute and unpleasant fact of reality is that a serious fraction of our so called fellow citizens don't think.  They've been indoctrinated by our so called education system to hold feelings as superior to facts and to pursue emotional states over rational thought.

It's not that they're stupid or ignorant, it's worse, they're willfully insane.

Because they're uneducated there's no understanding that negative actions have negative consequences.  In this case that the to enact an invalid law, such as the disarmament of citizens, will cause the deaths of actually innocent people.  And as during the Century of Death there' ll be no shortage of those who're willing to wrongfully run up a bodycount.  All to allow a bunch of damned fools to feel good about themselves without regard to the consequences.  To feel superior about themselves while standing on a pile of innocent victims.

We must recognize that warm body Democracy doesn't work.  The fact's that all forms of authority are based on knowledge and political authority's no exception.  But in the present system political authority is granted to any warm body without regard to their actual state of knowledge.  As a result some warm bodies have traded their votes for a material object, such as an IPad or a wad of cash.  Or worse they've traded their votes for the warm and fuzzy feeling of having been compassionate.

My solution to the problem is simply proper education in the obligations of citizenship.

The course would be similar to a driver education course as taught in my day. The first part of the class covers The Constitution, the proper functions of each branch of government, the function of each clause and amendment, the duties of the citizen as a member of the sovereign authority of the nation, and what's expected to happen when the Federal Government enters the failure mode.

The second part of the course covers the function and use of the instrument of political authority, the personal weapon. This covers rifle marksmanship and maintenance.  Also covered is the basic organization and tactics of the citizen militia unit.

While the citizenship course won't be mandatory, completion and a passing grade will be required to exercise the authority to vote.

President Trump is only person standing between the long overdue extermination of Marxists and the Democratic Party leadership.
