"Crazy, maybe even bat**** insane"


and-then

1,151 views

Those here who know me, even a little, might appreciate how true to form I was in responding to another one of those folks on the political "progressive" side.  Or not.  I was answering a criticism this guy had about Trump vs Hillary.  He saw my opinion and informed me what he thought of it/me.  Here is my response.  It was centered primarily on the danger she poses because of her gun control agenda.

You're welcome to your opinion. Anonymous folks on the web don't get under my skin. I'm not trying to anger you, either. I'm serious. I'm 56 and I can tell you that things politically are as bad right now as they have ever been in my life. People who consider themselves to the Right of the political spectrum have watched a president who for 8 years has done everything he wanted, regardless what the other COEQUAL (until now) Legislative Branch did or said. He has actually broken existing law, MADE up his own version of laws and has routinely just ignored laws that were inconvenient to his agenda. THAT is tectonic. It has changed - possibly forever - the balance of powers in this nation and it was done without any effective resistance from his opposition. Our nation's laws were based on British Common law and PRECEDENT rules in this system. From now on we can expect any president to use the "pen and phone" whenever they cannot or will not work with the Congress. Hopefully you can see the danger in this since someday, eventually, it will be a non "progressive" president doing these things. As bad as the Left believe Bush was, even he didn't just try to rule as a king. I expect Hillary to win and if she doesn't then I expect a certain amount of transient (hopefully) violence on the part of those on the campuses and the inner city Plantations. She will use her pen and phone to limit gun rights to the extent she feels possible and she will begin that process quickly after taking office. Anyone who has watched her career has seen how amoral and angry she is. She will over reach because she feels invulnerable. When even the FBI won't touch you then you pretty much have carte blanch to do as you will. If these restrictions are minor and sensible then, while they will be fought on principle due to the corrosive effects of precedent, there will be no violence initially. When she comes for the next bite at the apple and cops or other government agencies begin arriving at doors to relieve certain groups of their arms then I stand by every word. There WILL be a civil war. It won't be about race, either. The lines will look like a Gerrymandering map. Rural areas in every state except possibly the extreme Northeast. Whole regions like the mountain West, Southeast (minus major cities maybe) and the Southwest will form up in defense of the Second Amendment. No personal offense intended but you seem quite Left leaning and I hope you realize that just because you are used to being compliant in all things managed by the government does NOT mean most of the rest of us are. I am a law abiding citizen, have been all my life. There comes a time when that can change. Our founding fathers resorted to extreme violence when they had tried all other options - to wit:

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. 

What that means today is that when one ideology uses the mechanisms or a corrupt government to gain permanent advantage over all others - and to FORCE that ideology onto all, then fighting is the last resort. No sane person wants war with their neighbors, but dying for liberty kind of runs in the blood line where I'm from. You probably should do some serious thinking about the millions of "bat**** crazy" Americans who have had ENOUGH and just aren't going to bow before the queen.
 
I've not heard back from the guy yet, can't imagine the response though :)   
I truly hope that I'm so wrong that I'm going to be very embarrassed come December and January.  I can't see it though.  This ...person.... is as transparent in her evil as a glass of poisoned Evian.  
You know, I've always been a BIG guy.  Often fat but ALWAYS, BIG.  Rather than be a bully I tended toward staying quiet and out of people's way because I didn't like conflict, especially violent conflict.  I learned to live and let live as much as possible.  It takes patience and acceptance of diverse opinions and usually is it's own reward.  Just occasionally though, someone or something will insert itself unbidden into your life that is, simply NOT ACCEPTABLE.  When that happens then adjustments, painful at times, must be made.  
I wonder if the Brits and later the "Yankees" thought of  people like myself as "bat**** crazy"?  I just hope that before this trip begins, the progressives think long and hard about this train they seem to want to ride.
