Pascal is on fire.
This is the kind of shit that originally brought me to his blog, and keeps me coming back. When he hits it, he hits it hard.
I’m a little late to the party, but it seems that Ace of Spades has done the dance of equivocation about the Gunwalker thing. I have been uber swamped, both with work and with helping celebrate the Ogwifes most recent circuit around the sun so I have not been able to concentrate on the subject, but when Pascal calls someone a moron, watch the fuck out. Pascal- for those who don’t know him- is smarter than you are. I don’t care who you are or what you do, he’s smarter. he may not have the highest IQ, but he’s the very best I’ve ever met at using what he has to it’s best ability, and he’s only annoying as hell about half as often as I am.
Thanks for the plaudits, but it was your post about seeking out local friends and to organize that inspired me. Ace’s size is too significant not to make an effort to point out when and where he’s being a fool. Thinking such as his, left unchallenged, would blunt our side from recognizing what is evil.
Decency demanded that I defend it from his arguments.
Along lines similar to mine, there was a late commenter at AoSHQ who was less strident towards Ace, but also demonstrated how Ace missed the dangers. (Next.)
391 I think that the “Everybody is the hero of their own story” explanation fails; the elitist leftist thinking that causes this sort of action specifically hates the idea of heroes even existing. A better and more accurate statement would be: “Alpha males are the heroes of their own stories.”
The loud mouthed version of the Beta mind is all about revenge; punishing the successful for being successful and for no other reason. Alexander Solzhenitsyn pointed out that the gulags were not the unfortunate side effect of Communism – the gulags were the whole point of Communism. Loud mouth Beta males don’t see themselves as heroes. Obama doesn’t see himself as some kind of hero – he is doing deliberate destruction – in the original sense of the word; the opposite of construction.
The point of gun control is to disarm the successful and law abiding so that they can be punished; it is difficult to punish anyone who can shoot back. The first thing that is done in a court of law is to disarm the defendant. People might tell you that disarming the defendant is all about “proper decorum in the courtroom” or creating a “respect for the law” but that is all BS; you disarm people so you can beat them up; end of story.
Anthropogenic Global Warming is ALL about punishing the successful. The leftist mind wants to raise taxes on the rich to punish the rich for being successful; not to “balance the budget”. “Social Justice” is all about punishing the successful. Once you understand that about leftist thinking everything else falls into place. That is why leftists lie about everything; if they told people what they were really doing nobody would put up with it.
