The progressives are cranking things up to 11 on the
Stupid/Psycho Scale, which is good for us in the short term – some of us
Normals were growing complacent and the midterms are coming.
But we also need
to open our eyes and accept the bitter reality we face. We can’t just pretend
the truth is not the truth because we wish it were otherwise. The left’s
dropping of its mask has demonstrated once again the undeniable fact. The left
hates you.
Just give them a listen. Those carefully selected moppet
puppets are out there on TV telling Normals “We are going
to outlive you.” When leftists tell you that you are going to die first,
you should believe they mean it. They have a track record of making that
happen.
And then there
is the new meme, that the NRA is a “terrorist”
organization.
This means you are a “terrorist” simply by advocating for your
political views.
Think about that. Labeling your political opponents as
“terrorists” – gee, that can’t end badly.
Violence against and suppression of
terrorists is okay, isn’t it?
And when this ploy works with guns, it will
happen with the next right the left wants to take from us.
How’s that
blood on your hands?
Sure, you were thousands of miles away, and your AR-15 –
like the 14,999,999 other AR-15s out there – never shot up a school, but just
believing in the Second Amendment makes you a non-human.
Those of us who know
something about history know that the people leftists regard as non-human
always tend to end up non-living.
Oh, they want
to have a conversation, all right. It’s a conversation about how you are going
to be disarmed, disempowered, and at their mercy.
Crazy talk? No.
Don’t be gaslighted.
They will tell you exactly what they want for you if you
give them long enough.
The beauty of social media is these creeps just can’t
help themselves; you just have to have the strength to listen and accept the
truth no matter how unpleasant it is.
Many of them want you dead – again, they
will tell you outright.
Others will be satisfied with you just being serfs,
unable to participate in your own governance, obedient, working hard to fuel
the liberal redistribution machine that pays off Democrat constituencies.
To the
fields, flyover drones!
Grow our kale, drive the trucks carrying our
cucumber-infused pale ale!
We are to be the silent stagehands in the urban
hipster play that is their lives.
Understand that
the left doesn’t hate the NRA.
The NRA stuff is a distraction.
Leftists are
dumb, but they understand the power of the NRA is really the power of millions
of Normal Americans coming together to defend their right to protect
themselves, their families, their communities and their Constitution.
That’s why
they fear it. That’s why they can’t abide it. They want your voices silenced.
In fact, the progressives fully intend to be the only
group left with any guns.
That should turn out great for us.
At best, the government that they promise will protect us
will make excuses why they can’t see red flags waving and why they can’t be
expected to actually protect us.
Liberals have just come out foursquare in
favor of police cowardice; their argument is you don’t need guns to protect
yourself, and you certainly can’t expect a Democrat-run law enforcement agency
like the Broward Sheriff’s Office to protect you because that would be scary to
the poor government workers.
Where does that leave you?
You can’t protect yourself,
and in return, no one from the government will protect you either. That whole
outliving talk looks more and more sinister every day.
And at worst?
There are 100 million
reasons never to be disarmed and at the mercy of leftists.
Your life means
nothing to them, just as the lost lives in Chicago mean nothing to them.
There
are several Parklands a month in the Windy City, but the Democrats who run it
don’t care.
They know where the bad guys are. They won’t act.
Instead, they
feign concern over the children because faking outrage will help them do what
they really want done. That’s why you had them arguing that the idea of a cop
actually doing his job was crazy.
They want you disarmed
and disempowered, not the nuts, not the criminals, not the terrorist, not the
illegal aliens. You. Why?
Because they
hate you.
They hate that
you won’t submit.
They hate that
you won’t obey.
And they hate
that you refuse to give up your only means of protecting
yourself and
preserving your rights.
They hate you.
So what do you
do?
You understand
and accept the truth, which many allegedly on our side refuse to do because the
truth is too harsh and painful.
America is divided not between groups with
differing political views held in good faith, but between Normals and a left
that hates us.
That’s not a pleasant notion, but to pretend that this is
business as usual, that we are just friends with a slight disagreement, or that
there is some reasonable compromise to be had, is delusional.
Ask them. They
hate you.
And we must act accordingly.
The first step
is the political battle.
Wake up – the midterms are coming and we need to
ensure that these people do not gain the power to undercut our rights.
At CPAC,
President Trump demonstrated that his competitive nature is in full effect – he
intends on winning. We need to do the same. Volunteer. Donate. Activate.
Yeah,
it’s a hassle. We’d all like a pause to this constant cold warfare.
That is not
happening.
The second step
is the cultural battle.
The left is intent on mobilizing the corporations that
form the infrastructure of society against us.
We need to respond with our own
political power, and that means casting off the tired shackles of an ideology
that assumes we are in a pure free market scenario.
“Free market solutions”
don’t apply where companies instead act based on political ideology when
choosing to exercise political power; how, exactly, do we respond to a company
that acts against us but decides it doesn’t care about the market consequences?
Well, we can’t – unless we use our own political power.
Georgia refusing to
give Delta a tax break – which it should not have gotten in the first place –
is the template.
If they want to declare a cultural war on us, let’s give them
one.
It’s not how you or I want it to be, but it is how it is.
Maybe pain will
motivate them to re-adopt the old rules.
Surrender sure won’t.
The third step
is to create deterrent facts on the ground.
Demonstrate your commitment to your
rights by joining
the NRA and, further, by buying guns and ammunition.
Tyranny is not
out of the question – hey, aren’t they always calling Trump Hitler?
Tens, even
hundreds of millions of armed American Normals provide a deterrent to the kind
of insanity we’ve seen the left hinting at.
Be prepared to protect the
Constitution, and the chances of them getting violent will diminish
exponentially.
Remember, they don’t want to fight; they prefer we give up under
a barrage of hectoring from CNN and vicious tweets about how we hate children.
Yes, it’s ugly.
Yes, perhaps
it’s even frightening.
But it is how
it is, with leftists who makes no bones about what they think of you.
They hate
you.
And you need to act accordingly.

Georgia Lawmakers Vote to Strip Delta of $40
Million Tax Break After Company Slammed NRA Members
By Katie
Pavlich | Townhall
Delta airlines just lost a $40 million tax break in
Georgia after making the decision to pull long-held discounts from NRA members.
The decision from Delta came last week, prompting the Georgia legislature to
take a close look at the tax breaks being given to the company. Today, they
voted to take it away and the governor is likely to sign
it.
Pro-gun Georgia lawmakers scored a political victory
Thursday over Delta Air Lines, making good on Republican threats to deny the
company a hefty tax break after it cut ties with the National Rifle Association
in the wake of the deadly shooting at a Florida high school.
The state House and Senate within hours of each other passed a sweeping tax bill that Republicans had amended to strip out a sales tax exemption on jet fuel. Atlanta-based Delta would have been the prime beneficiary of the tax break, which would have been worth an estimated $38 million.

Some background:
If Delta is so flush
that they don't need NRA members hard-earned dollars, they can certainly do
without the $40 million tax break they are asking GA taxpayers for.
I will kill any tax
legislation that benefits @Delta unless
the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA. Corporations cannot attack
conservatives and expect us not to fight back.
______________
I stand with the NRA
& support our 2nd Amendment rights. Delta Airlines is now seeking $40
MILLION TAX BREAK from the GA Legislature. I'm leading the charge to let Delta
know their attack on the NRA and our 2nd Amendment is unacceptable. #StandWithJeffareshttp://www.rickjeffares.com/end-deltas-40-million-tax-break/ …
Delta is reaching out to
the NRA to let them know we will be ending their contract for discounted rates
through our group travel program. We will be requesting that the NRA remove our
information from their website.
______________
Delta claims the move was made in order to take a
"neutral" stand on the gun control issue, but came after a number of
companies caved to pressure from anti-gun groups to cut ties with the civil
rights organization.
