When the attack on Republican lawmakers at a Congressional baseball practice occurred Wednesday, the nation again witnessed that a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. Yet rather than acknowledge that fact—and it is a fact—the left began blaming Congress for not passing more gun control, even as a Congressman was still bleeding on the field.
Think about it—people on the left responded immediately by blaming the victim for a violent crime that was carried out by a deranged left-wing zealot. The left’s reaction is the result of a complete abandonment of common decency. To them, somebody getting shot in a highly publicized setting is just another opportunity to push their gun control agenda.
In short, those on the left do not see people; they see an opportunity to advance their cause.
But this is how ideologues conduct themselves: They put the success of their ideology above the safety and well-being of people. They will even put their ideology above the safety and well-being of the very people they claim to be protecting. That is why the late Russell Kirk, a man of letters who was steeped in learning, warned again and again that ideologues were the most dangerous of individuals—that they tend to use their power or positions of prominence to harm the very people they claim to cherish.
But the left is not listening to people like Kirk. Instead, they are listening to the very ideologues he warned about. Trump haters push protests past the limit of decency, with media fanning the hateful flames. People like Kathy Griffin and those who produce New York Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park series, whose goal is to divide the country, then use the division to their political benefit.

“It’s not the GUN that is the problem, it’s the idiot that pulls the TRIGGER on the GUN that is the problem...”
Dear Lord, please keep Your Arms around those that were hurt yesterday that they might heal and get well. Please Bless Our Nation, Our President, his family, and the American People. Amen.
Hang the entire NYT editorial board from the Brooklyn bridge. And that would be a very good start.
"In short, those on the left do not see people; they see an opportunity to advance their cause."
Maybe it's time to start checking voting records when registering firearms?
*WINK*
Sharing on FB too, Travis. Thanks.
I just noticed, that photo of the baseball looks as if a bird that has been eating poke berries has pooped on it. Perfect color and everything.
I used to believe that all law-abiding citizens should have the right to bear arms.
However, the past few years have caused my views on the second amendment to “evolve.”
I now believe that anyone who votes Democrat or identifies as a liberal should NOT be allowed to own or use a gun.
Everything is politicized by Democrats. Its hard to tell if it’s worse when they’re in or out of power.
