Photos of the Day, and a Little Ranting

Hello, my lovelies.

Sorry I have been scarce since last week……it was a real period of ups and downs. Shelly died, I turned 45, I found out my long-lost older brother has joined a fucking cult ( seriously, check out this website and prepare for the rip-roaring Apocalypse) , and found out some other news that  really blindsided the crap out of me (my health is fine, my family is fine – it’s just life shit I won’t go into now)…….blah.

So I am still overloaded with gun nuts on the Book of Faces, and frankly they are really making me ill.

Let me start with this gem that  I saw first thing yesterday morning:

The derpage, it BURNS.

Because, you know, people making a conscious choice to shovel cholesterol and preservatives down their own gullets is TOTALLY comparable to, say, twenty eight people getting shot to death by a crazy dude at an elementary school, ammirite????

They pretty much marched themselves over to Adam Lanza’s house, grabbed his mom’s guns, and capped themselves voluntarily, so comparing forks to guns is TOTALLY legit, bro.

Take it away, Marshall:

Then, yesterday evening, I came across this lovely collection of Tweets from jackasses who  feel the way to prove the superiority and complete solidity of their stand on guns is to make fun of the speech impediment of a woman who was SHOT IN THE GODDAMMNED HEAD BY A NUT BAG.

Keepin’ it classy, because ZOMG ADOLPH OBAMA WANTS MY GUNZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The inability of people to discuss this issue with any modicum of intelligence just makes me weep for the future of this country.

It’s all TYRANTS and NAZIS and TOTAL BANS and LET’S BAN CARS and COLD DEAD HANDS and LET’S MOVE TO GLENN BECK’S COMMUNE and WOLVERINES!, and paranoia slathered in ‘Merica!-sauce, and it’s just ridiculous.

We are overrun with incredibly loud people with no critical thinking skills, and it is quite frightening.

Oh, and in the meantime, President Obama spoke on the occasion of  International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and you know what happened on  National Review Online?

Some dumb Cuntosaurus Rex named Eliana Johnson,who apparently hates Obama so much she’d eat the yellow snow if Obama told her not to decided that it’s better to side with Nazis and the extermination of millions of Jews than to say “President Obama paid tribute to those who were lost to the Holocaust”.

“President Obama issued a statement yesterday to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. He noted that survivors who bore witness to “the horrors of the cattle cars, ghettos, and concentration camps have witnessed humanity at its very worst and know too well the pain of losing loved ones to senseless violence.” (We notedbelow how some in Europe chose to mark the day, which takes place each year on January 27, the day Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz.)

The idea that all violence is “senseless” violence is one that has taken deep root on the left; it’s also, unfortunately, one that poses a major impediment to understanding the world.

Nazism may have been an ideology to which the United States was — and to which the president is — implacably opposed, but it is hardly “senseless.” By the early 1930s, the Nazi party had hundreds of thousands of devoted members and repeatedly attracted a third of the votes in German elections; its political leaders campaigned on a platformcomprising 25 non-senseless points, including the “unification of all Germans,” a demand for “land and territory for the sustenance of our people,” and an assertion that “no Jew can be a member of the race.” Suffice it to say, many sensible Germans were persuaded.

On September 12, 2012, President Obama also lamented the “the kind of senseless violence that took the lives” of four Americans in Benghazi. That, you may recall, is the day the president supposedly said the murders occurred as a result of a non-senseless terrorist attack carried out by jihadists.

This sanitized version of events, both past and present, is surely more comforting. It’s also truly senseless. “

 

DUMBASS PEOPLE ARE MAKING ME STABBY.
