Hal: A Typical Democrat Elitist

I came across the following comment in response to a story about Tom Delay trying to get his CCW back:

10 Hal - Aug 4, 11:52 pm

I'm sorry, I just have one question here. Why does Tom DeLay feel that he needs to be able to carry a concealed weapon? I just don'’t get it. Millions of Americans survive a day-to-day existence without feeling the need to pack heat.

If he feels threatened then maybe he needs to let loose of a few thousand of those campaign contribution smackers and engage a body guard or two. People who are trained in the art of self defense. Tom, as a middle aged, out of shape white man, is out of his element if he wants to pack a rod to fend off hardened criminals.

It'’s the same in DC as it is in the "burbs”. Leave it to the professionals.

I followed his link to his website, and found he's part of the "Lefty Blogs" ring.

Hey Hal: Your party is supposed to represent the common man, the downtrodden, the underdogs, the poor. What are they supposed to do if they need protection? They don't have "a few thousand...smackers" to engage a bodyguard. Dial 911?

And as for being "out of shape," who better to need an "equalizer" when faced with "hardened criminals"? I know plenty of women, Hal, who are adept with firearms but would be no physical match in a street fight against an enraged male. What do you recommend they do, Mr. Egalitarian? Lay back and hope they survive the beating, stabbing, shooting or rape?

And Hal--YOU "leave it to the professionals," that is, "The Only Ones." We've examined the evidence, and we know better.

Hal, here's your problem. You're stupid and you're a coward.

But aside from that, we'll give your opinions all the consideration they deserve.
