The sleeze is strong in this familyPosted on 10/08/2017 5:45:48 AM PDT by NOBO2012
Finally, something substantive to move us off the Las Vegas shooting incident that nobody knows nuttin’ about: the Harvey Weinstein disgusting pig-man chronicles. I see that Lanny Davis and Lisa Bloom (Gloria Allred's little Eveready Bunny clone) both resigned today as more sordid stories ooze out. And seriously, how scummy do you have to be to have your own brother blow the lid on the story?
Bob Weinstein, the disgruntled co-founder of The Weinstein Company, may have been the mastermind behind an exposé of lurid sex allegations that led to his brother’s humiliating downfall, the sources said.
What a charming family.
I wouldn’t trust either of them but the one with the little eye definitely looks like a real perv.
Seriously, I’d rather talk about Las Vegas…or guns, specifically. I note that today was the day that Peggy-once-in-a-blue-moon-I-have-a-point-Noonan nailed it: Why do Americans own so many guns? Because they don’t trust the protected elites to protect them.
The establishments and elites that create our political and entertainment culture have no idea how fragile it all is—how fragile it seems to people living normal, less privileged lives. That is because nothing is fragile for them. They’re barricaded behind the things the influential have, from good neighborhoods to security alarms, doormen and gates. They’re not dark in their imagining of the future because history has never been dark for them; it’s been sunshine, which they expect to continue. They sail on, oblivious to the legitimate anxieties of their countrymen who live near the edge.
Those who create our culture feel free to lecture normal Americans—on news shows, on late night comedy shows. Why do they have such a propensity for violence? What is their love for guns? Why do they join the National Rifle Association? The influential grind away with their disdain for their fellow Americans, whom they seem less to want to help than to dominate: Give up your gun, bake my cake, free speech isn’t free if what you’re saying triggers us.
Would it help if we tried less censure and more cultural affiliation? Might it help if we started working on problems that are real? Sure. But why lower the temperature when there’s such easy pleasure to be had in ridiculing your mindless and benighted countrymen?
The article is behind a paywall but don’t worry, the rest of it is pretty much typical Peggy pablum. But when she’s right she’s right. Anyway, in summary: why do Americans own so many guns? Because the Second Amendment is premised on the fact that eventually the know-it-all, better-than-us elitists will grow tired of lecturing us and simply decide to rule by fiat. Because they only want what’s best for us.
At that point they’ll begin to understand why Americans own so many guns.

Exactly, and I would add a lot of people with a lot of guns adds greatly to the stability of this great country.
you spelled grammar wrong....
Because ultimately the ones with the guns are in charge.
Well, that was a highly deceptive bait-and-switch title to get me to click on your post. I don’t appreciate it.
Grand Funk Railroad said it best... Don’t Let ‘Em Take Your Gun

Ohhh, people why don’t you come
in here and let me talk to you
a while.
That’s right, step right up and
listen to a concerned citizen speak
his piece.
I’ll tell you a little something
that my daddy told to me.
My basic fundamentals if you want to be free.
‘Cause son, there’s somthing wrong internally.
So, if you want your freedom son.
Don’t want your country to be overrun.
You got to keep America number one.
(CHORUS)
My daddy told me “Son, don’t
let ‘em take your gun.
That’s what they tryin’ to do.
Son, don’t let ‘em take your gun.
They’re takin’ your Bill of Rights away from you.”
My daddy said “Son, don’t
let ‘em take your gun.
That’s what they tryin’ to do.
Son, don’t let ‘em take your gun.
Don’t let ‘em take your gun away from you.”
Ohhh, this year is our anniversary.
Two hundred years, people we’ve been free.
Won’t be nobody takin’ over our land.
If everybody’s brother’s got a gun in his hand.
I’m tellin’ you we learned to fight for justice.
We’re willing to die for freedom.
Hand in hand.
You got to understand.
We are American men.
Said they want your gun.
Said they want your gun.
Send ‘em on the run.
Send ‘em on the run.
Hip-hurray for fun.
Hip-hurray for fun.
If they do we’re done.
If they do we’re done.
Why? Besides all the other poop we have to put up with, now we have to worry about the apostrophe police.
Because a few individuals from highly paid families in political and economic leadership have committed mass murders. Such people can get weapons with or without laws against getting them.
Two Bottles of Scotch...A Year !?!
Blasphemy!
HERETIC!
Because armed up citizens just won’t get in the box car.
We own so many guns because there are so many criminals who would do us harm.
We need to have guns stashed all around our properties because we might be accosted in an area where our guns are not stored.
We need to have guns ready to use-—NOT locked into a box, stored under the sweatshirts on the closet shelf where it takes too long to get to them.
We need our guns loaded & with one in the chamber for a quick response.
We need our guns—even outside on our properties, which means open carry.
We need our guns because THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO TAKE THEM AWAY—While they have CCW permits—don’t you, Diane Feinstein???
Because he can’t make a fist?
Amen! Freedom lovers come in all shapes and styles!
We need to get Trump to reopen the lead processing plant in Missouri that Obama closed a couple of years ago. It is the last one in the USA & ammo is involved.
The NRA Representative (Chris Coxon) on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace should have researched Chris Wallace's neighborhood crime statistics - then asked Christ Wallace if he EVER knew ANYONE in his neighborhood who had been shot by a criminal.. Of course he's not worried... he's an elite who lives in safety.
Chris Wallace is an out of touch elite who might as well have said, "let them eat cake' if they have no bread... Then Chris Cox should have asked Chris Wallace what he pays for his security.
Wallace was being a defensive jerk this morning with his denial about being a White Liberal Elite...
Same with Jimmy Kimmel and all the rest of the Hollywood 'elites'... bunch of privileged jerks who don't need a gun to protect themselves because they're protected by safety large sums of money can buy.
None of your damned business. Shut up and go away. Buh Bye!
Top firearm sales award goes to Community Organizer in Chief, Barry Soetoro. Every time something was floated by White house to limit firearms or ammunition, there was a surge in sales.
Republicans own guns to defend themselves against Democrats.
Sorry if someone else said it, but the thread is tl;dr
Cuz we can.
You Have to ask?
