A liberal gunowner's POV - good for dissemination

[phamkl]

I'm not the liberal, but I came across this posting in the internets and I think it ought to knock a lot of liberal folk around a little bit. Is it enough to convince the die hards to change their minds? Who knows. But it was convincing enough for me.

Excerpt:

First they came for the blacks, and I spoke up because it was wrong, even though I'm not black.

Then they came for the gays, and I spoke up, even though I'm not gay.

Then they came for the Muslims, and I spoke up, because it was wrong, even though I'm an atheist.

When they came for illegal aliens, I spoke up, even though I'm a legal immigrant.

Then they came for the pornographers, rebels and dissenters and their speech and flag burning, and I spoke up, because rights are not only for the establishment.

Then they came for the gun owners, and you liberal ****bags threw me under the bus, even though I'd done nothing wrong. So when they come to put you on the train, you can ****ing choke and die.

Pretty much sums up how I feel at times.

Good read. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

Brilliantly written, doesn't quite sum up my sentiments, but I suspect it doesn't really sum up the author's either. Rights and Liberties are such a huge part of Liberalism, it never really made sense to me how restrictive so many "liberals" are.

Thanks for posting this - I'll be sharing it! In case you haven't gleaned it from my username and sig, convincing other liberals that the 2nd amendment is a good thing is one of my missions in life.

I read his entire post and it's right on.

[roadtrip]

Wow. You can really feel the disappointment, frustration and anger in that tirade. That's a very effective essay. Thanks for pointing that out.

That's how you can tell he's a liberal.
