The other day, I was speaking to an Australian, attempting to explain to him how American Progressives view simple solutions to rampage school shootings, such as allowing armed military and police veterans to protect schools, as they do in Israel, to be “Off the table.”
This hypothetical exchange between a “Naive Progressive” and an “Old Hand Progressive” was the result:
I am concerned about Trump talking about allowing teachers with police and military experience to be armed to protect schools. Should we get ahead of this by adopting it as our policy, and requiring them to be highly regulated? Then they could become part of the government, and on our side.
That sounds plausible. It is not politically correct. Remember, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. You have to look long term. The idea of allowing armed teachers to defend schools works against us in many important ways.
It undermines our hard fought for creation of gun free zones in schools. We have the Supreme Court on our side there! We have managed to extend gun free zones to a thousand feet from the boundary of every school! It makes the carry of guns illegitimate in nearly every city in the nation. We are building from that base to extend gun free zones to parks, day care centers, public buildings. It is far too important a goal to undermine with a policy that allows non-police to be armed in schools. Can you understand the terrible danger to impressionable minds when students know their role models are carrying guns to defend them?
It subverts the important principle that defense through the use of force is not legitimate. If we are to disarm the people, they must be convinced

I’m not asking permission. They can say what they want. I’m going this way. You are invited.
Nice, but you mean they’re NOT ‘your friends across the aisle’? How dare you!
Leftists:
* Are still children, their ‘bleeding hearts’ don’t understand reality
* Are generous, with other peoples’ money
* Are arrogant and narcissistic, believing they know better than everyone else - they look down on others (e.g. being a ‘white savior’ for black people is, by definition, being racist - looking down on them). If you disagree you’re an ‘idiot’, ‘ignorant’, and a ‘bigot’ without realizing the reverse is true.
* Are ultimately fascistic, they’re willing to FORCE people to go along with their ideas when they can’t convince them
This is the behavior of leftists - they are easy to spot once you see they have one of these traits. Usually they all go together.

In other words, these people are reprobate s.
“Reprobation” is spiritual psychopathy/sociopathy and the clinical description is found in Rom. 1:18-32 and II Tim. 3:1-5.
The only way to protect ourselves and our children is to avoid those who manifest this behavior.
The goal is to disarm the people and the fewer people and places where guns are allowed, the more it advances the destruction of the 2nd Amendment and the country.
Exactly correct.
Yep. Progressives are satisfied with nibbling away at our rights. Like taxes, a little here, a little there and pretty soon they have most of your paycheck.
In the progressive’s world, they have a select few who are calling all of the shots and making their policy. I am certain that their leaders don’t believe the bullshit that they are selling anymore than we do. They prey on ignorant and gullible people to promote their crap as the gospel truth. Vladimir Lenin referred to the people who blindly followed him as “ useful idiots”.
“Can you understand the terrible danger to impressionable minds when students know their role models are carrying guns to defend them? “
When I took the grandkids fishing, my 7 year old granddaughter saw the gun on my hip and asked, “Pop-pop, are you a cop?”
I replied, “No sweetheart, this is so I can protect you in case there’s any bad folks around.”
She nodded and smiled at me...
“In the progressive’s world, they have a select few who are calling all of the shots and making their policy.”
...yep. We are an Oligarchy.
