The Hunt would be good sport for conservatives

The Hunt is a “mainstream” movie where elite leftists kidnap “deplorables” and then use them as game in a controlled hunt.  People of all stripes are offended.  

To my way of thinking how great would it be if we could just get Michael Moore and a long list know-nothing, do-nothing, be-nothing lefty libs into the woods for a “hunt”? We could kill them all.  Problem solved. 

The Griffin and his real hunting buddies would be good for a score or two each of typical AntiFa Lefty losers or those who populate Hollywood, TV talk shows - trapped, gutted and heads mounted on a pike - probably all within an hour or two.  

Even against half dozen or so so-called athletes like Colin Kaepernick, they wouldn’t stand a chance.  Once Colin got his foot caught in snare, hit over the head with club, his weapon taken - it would be game over for the pampered lefties. 

So if we could just trick the left into thinking that this “Hunt” scenario is a really good idea, we could start killing the azzbags off in large numbers and the world would be a better place.  

DISCLAIMER:  This is not advocating for or endorsing the murder of Lefty Libs outside being kidnapped by them and being used for a “Hunt.”  But if you find yourself in that scenario, by all means kill them all.

Re: James Cox letter, “If the shoe fits…” of Aug 9, 2019 

I want to congratulate Cox on his brilliant letter.  Making an appeal to authority by citing a reference that literally allows anyone to post anything about everything (Wikipedia) was a total stroke of genius. 

That said, I wonder if the cult of personality Cox was pointing to is those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome following cult leader Mueller until he was proven to be a total fraud and now hooking their wagon to Jerry Nadler’s impeachment hoax. 

If the title fits ...

Definition from Wikipedia: “A cult of personality, or cult of the leader, arises when a country's regime – or, more rarely, an individual – uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.”

RE: Mark V. Chaffee's editorial "Local woman's encounter reflects white malice" of Aug 8, 2019  

Years ago, I lived in a very diverse neighborhood.  One evening while I was out for a run, a car load of very broken young black men pelted me with half full beer cans.  Because I wasn’t a totally woke virtue signaling poseur like Chaffee, I didn’t lay the incident off on the community or an entire race of young black men, so I continued to run down that road on a regular basis. 

What does my experience and that of the elderly black woman Chaffee describes in his letter have in common?  Well, both incidents prove that stupid people do stupid things.  Sadly, there is no shortage of stupid people of every hue and color populating our orb. 

So what should good people do in response?  Lots of things.  Live by example, for one.  What we should not do, should never do, is adopt Chaffee’s smugness and self-righteousness and use the broadest brush possible to color entire groups of people.  Back in the good ol’ days, when the word had meaning, that used to be called racism.

Local woman's encounter reflects white male malice

Mark V. Chaffee

There's something so very broken with far too many white males in the U.S. Because I look like them, broken males feel confident that I'm one of them and consequently share openly with me their brokenness.

Not being one of them, my network, loaded with nonwhites, quite frequently shares with me their encounters with such broken males.

Last week, I received a call from a black friend of mine in Fort Wayne. She is 70 years old and small. She called after returning from a Kroger in Fort Wayne – returning home without going into the store.

She didn't go in because, once again, she was confronted by a big white guy who frightened her. In 2019, in Fort Wayne, she was accosted by a big white guy – and felt in fear of her well-being.

How did he frighten her? She pulls up and parks the brand, new car she is using, which belongs to one of her children, a local professional. My friend went to this store specifically to get a few things, enjoying the “nice produce.”

A new silver pickup pulls up beside her. Big, old white guy gets out. “Nice car,” he comments to my friend. “Thanks. It's my daughter's new car,” my friend responds, friendly, tickled that this stranger was being warm and complimentary. Tickled as the car reflected her offspring's career success and well-being that someone complimented.

“What pole does she dance from?” he retorts with a sneer. “Just another n----- with a new car,” he says with the smirk common to such broken impotence, sauntering off toward the store.

My friend froze to the spot, so struck with surprise by the vicious arrogance of this seemingly nice man. She climbed back in the car, sat shaking, and drove home and called me.

Big. Old. White. Male. Small. Old. Black. Woman. And really – who feared who?

This white guy, openly racist, knows he can get away with his racist bullying because he's intimidating by size alone relative to this diminutive, senior black woman. He feels free to bully because in his town, such brokenness is frequently and openly displayed in inter-group contacts.

Frequently, my friend shares stories of racially framed interactions she has with white folks of both genders in this “fair” northern city. They stun me as a rural white guy, stories so openly, flagrantly racist. Brokenness like one saw back in the '50s and '60s. I haven't witnessed such white male impotence, hidden behind their masks of hostility and arrogance, since I was a kid.

That bully would never have asserted his ignorance to a 6-foot-3 black male, same build, without the white guy being surrounded by other similarly impotent white males. They'd “have his back” in their shared ignorance, trying to intimidate and bully by numbers, since physical size wouldn't be enough. That's a way males assist each other to feel like they're important and higher-status than the bullied – pick on the vulnerable.

Last weekend, two white males, lost in the impotence of their ignorance and fear, fired into dozens of unknown people in two cities to prove how manly they are.

They didn't need shiny pickups. They didn't need similar impotents to have their backs. Their similars already had their backs by ensuring that fearful, impotent males can own guns designed for mass carnage and can own high-capacity magazines to ensure the ammunition access required for carnage.

The prevalence of so many broken males points to our broken culture – families, schools, religions/gods, politics. We've been taught all along the way that we didn't have to pay attention to the people who were being left behind in this culture.

From Fort Wayne to El Paso, we built these broken males with shiny guns and shiny pickups. When are we going to do something meaningful about our societal brokenness?

Re: Mark Temte’s letter, “Low gun death rate shows benefit of New Zealand laws” of Aug 6, 2019

        

Temte’s letter proves one thing, Democrats are not serious about solving the problem of mass shootings in America. 

Why does Temte have to go half way around the world to New Zealand to find gun control that works?   Why doesn’t he travel to Chicago or one of a couple of dozen other Democrat controlled cities for decades and tout the gun control in those places?  I’ll tell you why, because gun control does not work and has probably contributed to weekly mass murder in those places.

Does Temte recall that we’ve already tried an “assault weapons” ban from 1994 - 2003? It failed miserably.  Check the data.    

Comparing the US to New Zealand in about any regard is like comparing a local diner to McDonald’s.  New Zealand has an estimated 300,000 gun owners who own about 1.5 million weapons.  In America, estimates are that 130,000,000 Americans own over 400,000,000 weapons.  Of the 400,000,000 million guns owned by Americans, 15-20 million of them are estimated to be modern sporting rifles.

Do the math.  What’s the cost of a mandatory federal buyback?

Even Kiwis aren’t buying their government’s foolishness.  After New Zealand enacted its mandatory buyback program March 20, 2019, by July 22, only about 2,000 weapons had been turned in. Does tente seriously suppose that Americans are going to surrender their Constitutional rights to comply with the dictates of craven socialist/communist poiticians?

Is Temte aware that New Zealand’s law does not recognize self-defense as a legitimate reason for obtaining weapons permit?

On 9-11 when 19 terrorists killed nearly 3,000 Americans using passenger airliners, no one seriously considered banning such airplanes.  Instead the effort was directed at keeping lunatics from boarding such aircraft. 

So why is it when a crazy uses a sporting rifle to kill Americans the kneejerk reaction of Libs is to ban the rifle, and in the process trample the Constitution and penalize law abiding citizens, instead of keeping such instruments out of the hands of the lunatics? 

Low gun death rate shows benefit of New Zealand laws

Eric Beebe's letter (“Gun laws' value disproven after recent massacre,” July 26) claims that New Zealand's commonsense laws restricting firearms were ineffective because they did not prevent the Christchurch mosque massacre and, therefore, they would not be effective in the United States.

What he failed to mention is that, under the gun laws prior to the massacre and adjusted for population, there were 23 gun homicides in the United States for every single gun homicide in New Zealand. Let that sink in — not 23% more, or twice as many, but 23 times as many. Specifically, the United States had a gun homicide rate of 4.46 per 100,000 population in contrast to a rate of only 0.187 in New Zealand.

It should be noted that New Zealand is not an outlier. Most developed countries have commonsense gun laws and a rate less than 0.50. I would urge the writer to focus less on trying to denigrate New Zealand as a so-called “liberal Democrat's paradise of gun laws” and more on critical thinking.
