Fisking For Fun And Profit

Hokay, today we have a little fisking project.

It seems certain liberals STILL haven't received the memo and insist on bleating on and on exposing the sad illiteracy of their over-educated position.

Case in point...

Sound of freedom

In 2006, as the mid-term election year opens, I was recounting this funny but sad story to someone the other night. We were visiting one of the beach towns on the coast near a base, and we stopped off at a shop to pick up utilities. In striking a polite conversation I asked, since I had just driven past it, if it was too loud at nights living next to a firing range. The clerk at the cash register appeared mortified and chided me saying, "it is the sound of freedom !" I knew better than to question that and walked out politely after thanking her for my transaction. I wanted to tell her that the sound of freedom is the chirping of birds, the ripple of water, the prattle of babies not bullets flying past your ear. That would more classify as sound of war. What saddens me is in part that the poor, and under-educated masses have been brain-washed sufficiently into thinking that questioning the need to go to war is un-patriotic and mocks freedom. These are the folks that are sending their brothers, sisters and children into battlefield having been sold a bad bill. They have been
masterfully and deviously fooled/duped into voting and co-opting against their own interest. For more on this, read
What's the matter with Kansas ? As this mid-term election year opens, consider these issues: Nicholas Kristof of NYT wrote a nice article on this.
So, in this raging asshats world war is the absence, not of peace, which would at least be arguable. No, war is the absence of...FREEDOM!

Sweet jumped up jesus on a popsicle stick! What the hell are they adding to the kool-aid at the Mensa meetings?

So let's review the sounds of freedom in genius's world, shall we?

1.) Chirping of birds

2.) Ripple of water

3.) Prattle of babies

The thing that is most mystifying to most conservatives about liberals is just this...

Do they think peace is like a rutabega that you simply pick off the peace tree? Does one stroll down stinky hippy lane over to the gardens of Jerry Garcia peace and pick a rutabega of peace?

Um...NO! Peace is a direct consequence of a number of unpleasant things (not unpleasant to conservatives, primarily unpleasant to unwashed hippy types)

1.) Being willing to place our ginormous cockroach killers in the enemy's posterior.

2.) Having the proper cockroach killing equipment for the job

3.) Having some bad-ass exterminators who understand mission, honor and duty!

When these things are present peace flourishes. We have so much peace here in the United States we can't actually comprehend anything else. Which is the problem.

Asshats like this one think peace is the natural order, it ain't.

Ask any black resident of Darfur how peaceful things are these days. I'll wager they wish they had a representative government who gave a rat's ass about them. But they don't so their raped, slaughtered, sold into slavery and generally experience every permutation of the absence of peace.

The sheer arrogance of the next passage is breathtaking...

What saddens me is in part that the poor, and under-educated masses have been brain-washed sufficiently into thinking that questioning the need to go to war is un-patriotic and mocks freedom.
Oh please liberal Karnak, please lend us your shining intellect that someday we may be all smart and junk like you, just like you.

The irony here, and I wager many of our readers will agree, is that one can be over-educated to the point where you simply assume everyone else is an idiot. Well here's a cluebat chuckles, when the shitty end of the stick arrives, and it always does, who will stand with you?

When peace makes itself scarce as it is wont to do, who's got your back?

The gurgling babies? How about the singing birds? The running water?

I know the answer for me, here's a short list...(by no means comprehensive)

Master Gunner

Cao

Euphoric Reality

Kender

Crazy Politico

Mr. Right

I'm not saying these folks would gun down ninja's for me, but I'll tell you what I do know, they'll stand up for what is right, and I dig that about them!

Then again, maybe they would, maybe they would indeed!
