The true student of history can spot a holocaust when it's about to happen. What's that on the horizon? And over there...? From the direction of Washington... Chicago... Detroit... New York City...Philadelphia... Seattle... San Francisco... Gun owners are deemed THE problem,even though 99% have never hurt anyone. Criticize, dehumanize, excise (means to cut out, like a cancer). The next holocaust will be two-sided, however. Will someone who doesn't mind logging on correct the typo of www.jpfo.org's address? They have it "jfpo." Yes,laugh, ignorant people. Call us delusional dinosaurs. WE knew about the economic manipulation and collapse well in advance. WE knew about coming checkpoints in major cities. We hoped we were wrong, but we knew. When the Next Thing happens, we'll say "We knew that, too."
The true student of history can spot a holocaust when it's an idea yet to happen.
Seems to me that this is a true statement. It also is incomplete: also required is an understanding of the consequences certain to follow from basic principles. Chose the wrong basic principles and, eventually, bad consequences will follow.
I've always thought that most of the people who comment here "can spot a holocaust when it's an idea yet to happen." Even a brief study of history shows that where "human rights" are denied oppression regularly follows and a holocaust is a way too common occurrence. The right of self defense is a most basic human right and necessary element in preventing oppression and holocaust alike. A right to arms of person's own choosing is a corollary of the right to self defense.
"Kevin_Casey", on the basis of the two comments he made at the linked article, appears to _not_ be a "true student of history". Perhaps he should restrict his "problem solving" to his own problems as his "solutions" would seem to create problems for the rest of us.
The quoted statement is neither stupid nor ignorant--in fact, I agree completely. It's all the rest of what he has to say that is, if not stupid or ignorant, certainly incoherent.
The question is, what does he propose to do about it, without a gun? Is he going to just hide Muslim children in his attic? That didn't work out so well for Anne Frank...
I think it makes perfect sense for a "true student of history". However, from his other comments on the subject that leaves us with only one conclusion to draw.
That conclusion is that he is in favor of holocausts. Else he would not be campaigning for the major enabling factor in a holocaust.
My qualifier was "posted by an anti"--thus pointing out the--I guess a polite word would be "irony"--of this particular poster having either the sensibility or the wherewithal to do anything but ensure the worst would happen.
Every once in a while you come across a comment posted by an anti that is so profoundly stupid and ignorant, it just makes your jaw drop.
David, After reading your comment, I see that the sentence above can be parsed two different ways leading to two very different meanings. The phrase "...that is so profoundly stupid and ignorant..." could be modifying the comment (my original interpretation) or it could be modifying the anti. The later interpretation makes much more sense and I whole heartedly agree with it.

I don't even understand what his point is...
ReplyDeleteI mean he strikes me as a typical anti. But I have to confess that holocaust line didn't make a damn bit of sense to me.

Has no one noticed this? It's outrageous, and has nothing to do with the story it's supposed to be commenting on.
A true student knows what a dictionary is and doesn't invent definitions.

Grammar nit: if the meaning is indeed "the anti is stupid", it should be worded "... an anti who is ..."
