At times, it seems the left simply cannot help itself. A tragedy occurred in Tucson this weekend, several people died, a nine year old child, a Federal Judge, several innocent bystanders and a Congresswoman was likely permanently injured. With a tragedy of this magnitude, you would think the last thing on the minds of rational people would be politics. Unfortunately, we are not dealing with rational people when we are talking about liberals.
You see, delving into the mind of a liberal would be like delving into the mind of the shooter himself. In that crazy little space, you will find random, irrational, scattered, and largely illogical thoughts. You have to think back to when you were a young child and something bad happened and the kids on the playground would say something like, “the Government should do something about that” or “if I was President, the Government would buy all the kids toys!” The problem is liberals never grow out of that stage.
I was having a conversation on-line with my son’s girlfriend the other day. She is 17 and epitomizes the thought process of a liberal. I was arguing with her regarding the state of affairs in our home town which is completely dominated by liberals. The City Council has a 6 to 3 majority of liberals over moderates and conservatives. There is not a single conservative State Representative or State Senator from this area. I was complaining that there are no jobs in the area, little economic activity in the region and a lot of empty store fronts. Her response: “Well the City should take those store fronts and convert them to community centers where kids could go paint murals on the walls and put crepe paper on the ceilings.” She went on to explain that when the storefronts are empty, they belong to the City anyway and they should put them to use. I tried to explain to her, the property, in-fact, belongs to a property owner who is paying exorbitant taxes on it whether it was full or empty…she never made that connection and continued to rant about how the kids have nothing to do and how the City should provide them more activities.
She never put two and two together even as I stressed, these things cost money and “the City” has no money and the money they spend comes from taxpayers. She eventually got frustrated with me, I could not see her point. This is the mind of a liberal…a shooting occurred, a Democrat got shot, it must be a Republican or conservative who did the shooting, it just has to be! Never mind the nine year old who died, with arguably no political affiliation, the judge whose political affiliation was also likely unknown to the shooter, the many innocents who were wounded or killed and we must forget about the shooter’s chosen reading.
Among his favorites were Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto. Yes, he is definitely a conservative with two of the most extreme leftist ideological manuals among his favorites. What the left fails to recognize is they have begun to believe their own revisionist history. Their teachings would have us believe Hitler was an extreme conservative and Communism is somehow an evil creation of the right. They actually teach this garbage in schools and have students believing it.
It is important to note, this scumbag, whose name I will not repeat here, was a devout anti-Semite, obviously an extreme leftist and that aside, he is completely insane. The left is falling all over itself to paint a picture of him as a Tea Party member, a conservative nut job and some sort of right wing extremist. Unfortunately for the left, the facts don’t support any thesis that he had any affiliation with the right. In-fact, the facts point the opposite direction. So, as the left has now begun to consume itself and their operatives are trying relentlessly to deflect the obvious link the shooter has to their own, we should not engage them. The left must not be confronted as this will only give them traction. We should simply stand and watch in wonder as the left continues to self-destruct. Just as you cannot change the mind of a drug addict until he or she decides they want to change, we cannot, nor should we intervene, argue or try to counter their arguments. We should simply stand by and ensure they do no more damage to the innocent collaterals in the crowd.
Pack a gun, stay away from the left and remain aware. They will now use this tragedy to shamelessly promote their anti-gun, anti-Constitution agenda. Remember the kid on the playground. You would not argue with him, you would just chuckle and say to yourself, “what a dumbass”. We should simply do the same, as the kid on the playground has made it all the way to the White House and in two years, the adults will be back in charge. May the souls we lost over the weekend rest in peace and hopefully, Congresswoman Giffords will be back in office with a full and miraculous recovery in short order.
