Agreed. I sort of look at Bill Maher that way. I’m not sure how honest he is, but he does not appear to have chronic affective realism disorder since he seems to be able to discern and see the truth about certain things. Like watching a worm turn.
The world needs more objective people from the left. I dream big, no?
This liberal B was sitting at my dinner table and out of the blue worried about ‘Guns in America’.
I told her I wasn’t worried and she stubbornly insisted that ‘no one is trying to take your guns away from you’.
I reminded her of the taxes on bullets, stores that stopped carrying and banks and companies shutting down accounts of gun dealers and purchasers.
I also asked her if she had ever heard of anyone saying they were going to go to the most crime ridden cities where illegally purchased guns were used in crimes and were going to start taking THOSE guns away from criminals or was it just the legal gun owners with background checks that they wanted to disarm.
This is someone I have had to tolerate every single holiday and she is NOT coming to my home anymore. Big fallout is expected but I don’t care. Liberals are mental cancer.
Thank you.
Of all things,my dem wife who is mostly liberal, is pro gun. Our one grandson is a master shooter. She remarked to day she was shocked that the Israelis were not alowed guns. That universal military training failed because the men and women were not armed on 7 October.
I still remember Carl Bakal’s diatribe against gun ownership “THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS” from the 1960s, released in paperback as “NO Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”
Another good reference is:
The Samurai, the Mountie, and the Cowboy
Not sure if there are updated editions, but its an excellent comparison of culture/gun ownerhip.
Will there be a Knives and Violence in America | Book Review too.
More die by them then guns.
