"Scared White Idiots Buy Guns."

Well, I never realized that my problem was not reading enough "complicated books." You’re a scared white person, almost certainly male. You do not live in a major city, or near a university or intellectual hub of any note, nor have you ever traveled very far from your home town, much less out of state or anywhere further than, say, Mexico. Once. And that was enough. You do not read complicated books. You do not like new or weird things. You watch lots of TV, mostly Fox News, which rejoices in showing you endless images of angry foreigners and minorities in pain: tear gas explosions, fights in the streets, looting, this time involving sad, small-town black people in Ferguson, all of them protesting the acquittal of that murderous white cop.

rexxhead said...: I'm a worried white person, and, yes, male. I have an MBA from a college whose name you would recognize. I'm in MENSA, the international high-IQ society. I have had a successful career at IBM and several other well-known companies.

Most of the TV I watch consists of BBC, PBS, and The History Channel. I almost never watch Fox unless Stossel is on.

I've been to London, Paris (4 times), Vienna, Salzburg, Budapest, Prague, Munich, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Bergen and the environs for all those places.

Most of that is also true for my wife, and we BOTH buy guns. Much of that is also true for my three college-educated daughters, and they ALL buy guns.

I think only self-important idiots write articles accusing others of being scared white idiots.; December 4, 2014 at 8:30 AM

Anonymous said...: yup, this guy knows everything about me. I'm female, live in a rural/suburban area, watch almost no TV, find FOX almost as distorting as MSNBC and read stupid things, like books by Brezinski, The Committee of 300 and Club of Rome white papers. Not to mention the Federalist Papers and Lysander Spooner...What a self absorbed ass-hat!!! The big difference between me and him? - He's totally brainwashed and I'm not!!!; December 4, 2014 at 12:06 PM
Anonymous said...: Apparently this "boy" just LOVES to paint with a broad brush. And I thought that us white male conservatives were supposed to be racist biased. He's got us beat by ten city blocks.
I would just LOVE to have a public one-on-one conversation with this pinhead. I'd make his vacuum head 'splode, as I fit NONE of his meme talking points.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Paul X said...: I guess I will trade all my guns in so I can get some "complicated books". I sure don't want to be stereotyped. (snicker)

Does it help that I have a degree in Physics (BA only, my bad), worked as an engineer all my life including a year in Paris, and am married to a woman entrepreneur from Hong Kong? Work trips to places like Israel and Libya and Spain and Germany? Oh, and that I hate Faux News and have never been and never will be a "conservative" (whatever that means)?; December 4, 2014 at 8:14 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
