Cartoon demonization of gun owners recalls an earlier target

In any case, the de-humanizing and demonizing of gun owners is calculated, and it recalls an earlier time when another group that found itself the target of disarmament and worse, also found itself portrayed in such an ugly manner, by those sharing ideological commonalities with modern statists. That Nazi political cartoons were used to promote public acceptance for attacking Jews is a matter of shameful historical record. That modern day “progressives” continue that hateful practice is a matter of shameful documented fact. [More]

My latest JPFO Alert notes those who have mastered the time-proven technique of dehumanizing a segment of society they wish to eliminate.

Great timing, Ivan. I don't suppose you'd like to come help me clear my driveway for the fourth damn time this week? Now, before things drop to sub-zero again, while the sun is still out and we're all the way up to 10º?

Thing is, what's he doing holding not one, but two, with a very threatening look on his face?  He can be trusted with them but you can't?

He may have a point, though. Anyone mentally challenged enough to vote for this parasite probably is too unstable to be trusted with a blade, or a stick, or a rock or...

"Common sense gun law" demands result in this. We should take them personally, because it doesn't get more personal than this.

The Right to Bear Arms has now been completely Infringed in Florida. That fundamental right enumerated in both the Florida Constitution and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is no-longer your birthright. In its place is a license that you must pay the government to possess. [More]

Thanks, "bipartisan" McCain-Feingold!  Now that the evil of money has been eliminated from politics, we can get back to the serious business of stealing from those who produce (and can't afford dedicated loophole engineering teams) and "redistributing" it to those who don't in exchange for votes!

Why should he need to now? The emails and his testimony will provide enough evidence to open an investigation. And if "Justice" has her back, there's no reason the "Republican" Congress can't.

Oh, did I say "liberal"?  I meant "communist" (as if there's really all that much difference, now that the Opposite Day "progressives" have bastardized the word).

What do you mean "Sheep don't have wolf bodyguards"? By the way, "lightning brigade" is a nice touch.

You know what else sheep don't do? Criticize their shepherds.

Anyone who disagrees must be some kind of human rights violator.

A Matter of Priorities

The current standings over at Examiner:

I can only see the "top five" for national, but also more important than the right to keep and bear arms with the readership, in descending order, is Dog News, Celebrity Fitness and Health, Pet Rescue, America Now News (basically rewriting other people's stories and applying trending keyword meta tags to hitch a ride on the wave), and Arcade Games.

Noting reader preferences for such a powerful technological development that could be used to advance freedom, I'm reminded of a line from "The Time Machine":

These Eloi were mere fatted cattle, which the ant-like Morlocks preserved and preyed upon...

It's something to keep in mind the next time the antis try to feed us some poll about what Americans "think" about "common sense gun safety laws."
