I Am Not Politically Correct

According to the Liar in the White House, it is us Americans that caused the terrorist to shoot up a bar in Orlando.

Stay vigilant.

If you’re going to use examples and similes, then try to use some that actually make sense. A hammer is designed and used to insert nails into various materials. That’s its purpose. A gun is designed and used to insert bullets into humans. That’s its purpose.

Do you walk around with a hammer hanging from your waist just in case you need to hammer a nail into something? Then why carry a gun?

While we’re on this little Q&A, let’s try a few more.

Do you drive? Regardless of whether you do or don’t, you know that it’s against the law to drive over a prescribed speed limit. That law was passed because it’s recognised that speeding is hazardous to all road users. Your individual choice had nothing to do with it.

Do you smoke? Regardless of whether you do or don’t, you know that it’s against the law to smoke in an enclosed public space. That law was passed because it was recognised that secondary smoke was hazardous to other users of enclosed public spaces. Your individual choice had nothing to do with it.

Do you drink alcohol? Regardless of whether you do or don’t, you know that it’s against the law to imbibe alcoholic beverages below a certain age. That law was passed because it was recognised that unmanaged alcohol consumption is hazardous to the young and society as a whole. Your individual choice had nothing to do with it.

Anyway, I really am done this time. I’ve had this discussion more times than I can remember and, regardless of the facts put before many obese people, they still insist that stuffing their faces with ever more Big Macs is the answer.
