If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote f or who runs the government, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If, in the nation's largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If an 80-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by  idiots.


If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is "cute" but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV, and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government, you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

WTF Did He Say?

I'm not sure I have the words to describe the profoundly deep level of idiocy this pencil-neck represents.

California Police Chief says, "A Gun is not a Defensive Weapon".

One is almost rendered speechless. 

And some people actually doubt that Liberalism is a Mental Disorder....

/Gun

Sex, Baby Daddies and Little Boys

How sick is this....and how tragically preventable:

Columnist Mona Charen assesses the price of wholesale illegitimacy ...

"The illegitimacy rate among all Americans has been rising for decades. In 2012, we reached a grim milestone: The majority of births to women under the age of 30 are now outside of marriage. Among blacks, 72 percent of births are to unmarried women. And while some unmarried mothers go on to marry the fathers of their babies, it's rare in the African-American community, where only 31 percent of couples are married (In 1960, it was 61 percent).


"The result of this adult folly is chaos, misery and often violent death for kids. Why do young males join gangs? Because without a father to guide and protect them, they seek physical protection from human predators as well as ratification of their masculinity from the gang. A counselor at a juvenile detention facility in California told the Patriot Post, "(If) you find a gang member who comes from a complete nuclear family, I'd like to meet him. ... I don't think that kid exists." A full 85 percent of youths in prison come from fatherless homes, as do 80 percent of rapists, 71 percent of high school dropouts, and 63 percent of teen suicides."

Pathetic. And  a direct, unequivocal result of Liberal policies.

But hey, who needs morals, right? They're just some religious freaks' method of controlling your life, right? Cause sex and pregnancy without responsibility is everybody's right, right?

Yeah. Okay.

Welcome to Liberal Utopia.

Prosecute Smokers; Forgive Murderers

Abortion is almost mandatory here. Killing babies is pretty near required. But don't EVEN suggest executing a murderer; the State instantly develops a case of the vapors.

You can persecute smokers beyond all reasonable sense and science; but, you better not say anything negative about a pack of filthy Islamic terrorist dogs, or their feelings might get hurt.

Yep, that's us:

"Land of the free, home of the brave."

Awwww...Poor Little EgØbama

Comment on one of the Brietbarts regarding Øbama now blaming Fox for all that's wrong in his administration and his narcissistic little world.

"When you coast through life getting preferential treatment, and then suddenly find yourself playing hard ball with the big boys and girls, and not getting a participation trophy every time you walk out the front door, then you are probably prone to believe that some sinister force is conspiring against you.

We need a leader who lives in reality, not in a fog of rationalizations."

Lovely, that.

Art and Logic

Frauds and hypocrites. Yeah. Hollywood and pop music stars.

A new book documents it all: Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama's Backers
by Jason Mattera
Among the hypocritical assholes is one Bruce Springsteen (my erstwhile hero). Just one of the many "do as I say, not as I do" boys, he shelters his cash from taxes as much as possible, while pushing the idea, and lecturing the rest of us publicly, that government is good and more socialist programs are necessary to help the poor and disadvantaged.

Just don't take his money to do it.

Seriously, I'm into the arts. But if I hear one more "artist" sermonize about politics, I'm gonna snap and possibly do something more splattery than artistic.

Here's the deal:  Being a good artist generally means that you are led by your heart. You live in your emotions. Good for art. But can we all please agree that it's stupid for anything that requires logical thought.

The better someone is at art, the more more in touch they are with their emotions. Ergo, they "feel" more than they "think".

They should never be taken seriously when talking about anything that requires intellectual reasoning or logic.

Day in the Life of an "Occupier"

From the Mailbag...

This morning, this came in my work email. You're welcome...

It seems there’s a lack of focus in politics:

Republicans don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Liberals don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Democrats don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.

Allow me to explain:

Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings. What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings or pump out the shit? Your choice is coming in November. Don't miss the opportunity.

Hah hah hah hah hah...

Stupid Things...

...you have to believe to be in favor of gun control:


"That a woman raped and strangled with her panties is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet."

"That an intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .44 Magnum will get angry over your retaliation and kill you."

"That a 90 LB woman attacked by a 300 LB rapist and his 300 LB buddy, has the "right" to kill them in self defense, provided she uses her bare hands."

"That one should judge all gun owners by the acts of a few criminals, just like one should judge all blacks by the acts of a few inner-city crack dealers."

"That most people are seething cauldrons of potential violence who cannot be trusted with a gun, but most people are so decent that there is no need to carry a weapon for defense."

"That 83 million gun owners are "extremists," and the 50,000 members of the Million Moron March are "the majority."



Lots more here.

Happy Halloween

You know them...

...the little dweebs who think they're cooler than you...

Reminds me a lot of my own generation in the 60's. (Excuse me while my eyes roll too far into the back of my head for me to see you for a second.)

Off hand, I'd say you can find a lot of them in the flea-bagger crowd.

Flea-Baggers Hangover

Heard a report this a.m. from one of a team of morning talk guys who went down to the hub of "Occupy San Francisco" yesterday.

He said there were about 40 - 50 people wandering around, looking bored, dirty and hungry. Nothing was happening; even their "activity" dry eraser board didn't have anything slated. He said it rather reminded him a people who showed up at a party, expecting it to be a lot more fun than it turned out to be.

I don't think this "movement" has a long life. Sort of like some of our Republican candidates...short, if brilliant burn...straight to burn-out.

As soon as the weather gets colder and wetter, the Flea-Baggers will retreat to the relative warmth of the sewers from whence they came.

The Sincerest Form of Flattery

Christopher Adamo at Intellectual Conservative has written an interesting analysis of the Occupy Wall Street mob.  He suggests they are trying to be the Progressive version of the Tea Party in the same way Air America tried to be the antidote to Rush Limbaugh and the rest of Conservative Talk Radio.

He thinks they'll accomplish just as much and be just as successful.

And that's a cozy, comforting thought.

Endowed with a mantle of sanctimony conferred upon it by liberal mouthpieces on the nightly news, its members possess neither the conscience nor the dignity to be embarrassed to stand in public and assert an “unalienable right” to mooch from the productive segment of society. Clearly an orchestrated event, this overhyped exhibition could never have gotten even as far as it has without massive behind the scenes effort and funding from organizations such as ACORN (regardless of whatever name its members currently claim). Nor can it continue without a massive and ongoing infusion of money and effort from its subversive sponsors. And so the protestors continue, with increasing ferocity, making their demands. All the while, they remain unaware of the one indisputable truth of a cancer, namely the absolute impossibility, under any circumstances, that it could ever outlive its host. So in the end, the “Occupy Wall Street” circus will go the way of “Air America.”

In the meantime, its abhorrent ugliness must be inextricably linked to its philosophical allies in the Democrat party, where the concept was originally spawned.

More Disdain

Things just get nastier. 'Bama is still inspirational. But I don't think it's exactly what he had in mind. People are getting bolder and balder in their assessments. And it is good.

Emphasis in the following is mine.

Black Saint Said:

Any man who believes he is “We are the one the world has been waiting for” promises “to stop the rise of the Oceans and begin the cooling of the Earth” is to say the least an individual of staggering arrogance or more likely an individual with serious mental problems. Why anyone continues to support this incompetent, lying, petulant, whining, blaming, sulking, narcissist is hard to understand!

Kaliførnication II

Kaliførnication

Lee Rodgers illustrates California "thinking"...

California youths under age 18 who need their hides tanned ... can't.   A new law signed by Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown prohibits them from using ultra-violet tanning devices.

They can, however, continue to get abortions without the consent, or even knowledge, of their parents.

California priorities on display.

So glad I live in this loony bin. And it used to be so nice...

And Now a Word from our Readers...

I'd like to quote a "friend of Gunslinger's Journal", a regular commenter. Emphasis is mine:

trubolotta said:

"May I add that in my opinion this is also the laziest president in American history. Golfing and vacations aside, like so many academics, he thinks sitting on his ass in a BS session with his many czars constitutes work. I wouldn't necessarily call him stupid, but his thinking is sophomoric, naive, and unoriginal. That has been his life's record. And as for leadership, this guy always leads from the rear and jumps to the front only if it is safe and there is credit to be stolen. "
