P.J. O’Rourke: “We May Have To Shoot Democrats”
Weekend Libertarian ^ | June 7, 2011 | B.P. Terpstra

Posted on 06/06/2011 5:55:13 PM PDT by AustralianConservative

I’ll keep this short. I’m against gun control. Why? We tried it in Australia. By punishing law abiding citizens, we empowered criminals. Australia was safer in the 1950s when guns were treated as tools.

But I digress. Here’s another unique pro-gun argument made by the satirist P.J. O’Rourke in 2010’s Don’t Vote! It Just Encourages The B******s (page 165, if you must know):

Gun ownership is crucial to the preservation of American freedoms. We may have to shoot Democrats. It happened in 1861 and it could happen again. Just kidding. Sort of. But there are other important arguments in favor of gun ownership. What with the economy being like it is, I call my .38 Special “the MasterCard of the future.”

Some win, others lose in a pro-gun culture, for sure.

Another example: America’s NRA actively empowered African-Americans to fight racist DemoKKKrats.

Lets try to tone down the antisemitism.

And ramp up the anti mohammedanism.

We have been married a long long time and we wouldn’t trade a day of it. I know we are a fortunate pair.

Living in Maryland... you get a lot of practice! It becomes second nature, I am afraid to say.

“”He probably did something special to stay on my good side, can’t remember now. He is a fabulous cook and makes a mean meatloaf himself.””

Another one of my favorite freepers here tonight. You never told me he was a “mean” cook....My husband gets to wash the dishes. I’d trade any time but I’ve never been given the choice.

Right - you told me once that you hold meetings for conservatives in your closet with room left over!!! Haven’t heard much about our daughter’s friends who moved to your area. Maybe he’s been taken over by the libs - I wouldn’t want to tangle with him myself as he’s one big dude. I think he can hold his own - now there are two more Conservatives in your state.

I’ve seen him in the closet meetings and he send his love. LOL! I am sure by now he is thoroughly disgusted and definitely can hold his own even better.

Around here I get to clean up after him while he cooks for me. Gumbo, fried fish, fried shrimp, rare roast beef and meatloaf are a few of his specialties, and can he ever mess up the kitchen! WOW! :D
