I am starting to think that hanging terrorists is too good for them. We should treat them like the demonic witches they are and burn them at the stake.

...On a different tangent. I had a debate with a liberal this week on gun control. He was telling me that more guns were not the answer, “Just look at all the guns at the Navy Yard and it did nothing the stop the massacre”. First, I disabused of him of the notion that there are a lot of guns on a military base (only a relative few have access to guns and ammo. It is basically a gun-free zone). Then, I told him the Navy Yard and the Kenya Mall attack are perfect examples of why ordinary citizens should be allowed to be armed. He replied that he did not think that the average military or civilian person had enough expertise to be armed...They would create more problems. Only qualified police should carry weapons in public. I replied when seconds count, the police are minutes away. I also told him that if a service member could not be trusted with a gun said service member should get a new profession. The points I made did not resonate with him. I am sure he would feel quite different if he were ever put in that situation. I sincerely hope he never has to find out.

Why?

It's my hope that all these dimbulbs have a chance to find out just how twisted their worldview is. And that's a very sincere hope.

Experience is the best teacher, and these people have NONE.

It sure looks like consistency is not his forte.

So he thinks there are “lots of guns” on a military installation but “the average military or civilian person (does not have) enough expertise to be armed”?

Some liberals are consistently wrong. They know what they believe and have worked out their beliefs to their logical conclusions.

I can respect that. Honesty and integrity are to be encouraged, not in the least because somebody who honestly is seeking the truth can be reached with the truth. The best conservatives are former liberals who have seen the light and realized their errors.

But inconsistency such as what you are quoting here indicates that the person with whom you were talking either doesn't know what he is talking about (likely) or is letting his gun phobia blind him to facts.
