Ammo Grrrll asks a question that is tricker than it first appears: WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Are they even HUMAN? She writes:
I’m sorry, dear readers, but there will be nothing funny here today. It is time for me to “unburden myself as to what has been” and what has been since early October of 2023 is an ongoing nightmare. Made many times worse on September 10.
As I have mentioned often here, my parents were EXTREMELY conservative Republicans. They loved Richard Nixon – my mother got to shake his hand! – and were not at all fans of John F. Kennedy. During Kennedy’s term, my great-grandmother, somewhere to the right of my parents, turned 90 and John Kennedy’s staff that looked out for such things, sent her a birthday card and a nice picture of the handsome young President, who this teenager secretly thought was pretty cool. My great-grandmother hung it in a closet. Facing the wall.
Nevertheless, when President Kennedy gave his famous “Ahsk not what your country can do for YOU, but for what YOU can do for your country…” my father listened to every word on the radio with the family and said, “Damn right! That was a damn good speech.”
He would not have voted for JFK had he lived, but he didn’t call him disgusting names and he was willing to say aloud – at least on this occasion – that he had done a good job. Unlike any Democrat in office today speaking about Trump, Daddy did acknowledge Kennedy’s basic humanity. Also, of course, Kennedy was a veteran, which went a long way with Daddy.
Himself a Navy vet of the WW2 era, Daddy was also impressed with Kennedy’s facing down the Soviet Union over Cuban missiles. On that awful November 22, 1963 date when Kennedy was assassinated, my parents were appalled. Because they were human. With the ability to feel pain for another person. That was a thing back then. Also my parents were patriots, and he was their President. That also was a thing back then. The President was everybody’s President, whether you voted for him or not. No morons wore t-shirts that said, “He’s not MY President.” Actually, few ADULTS even wore t-shirts…
They believed that murder was never good and that, unlike in Banana Republics, Americans settled their political differences at the ballot box. Like all sane Americans of any political bent, they cried like babies when little John-John saluted his father’s coffin. They knew that the Kennedy children would now grow up without a Daddy and it would cause them immense pain. They knew this because in every single town in America, there were fatherless families whose menfolk had not returned from Europe or the Pacific.
When Laura Ingraham was diagnosed with breast cancer, I could not believe the number of empty soulless husks cheering for her death. In essence, rooting for CANCER. Most were women. Boy, was that old mantra about “sisterhood is powerful” a crock. “Hey, if you won’t support our right to kill our babies up until the head crowns, then may you die of a miserable disease.”
I was less surprised when Rush Limbaugh got cancer and pretty much the whole nasty cabal of Left-Wing Loser Lunatics cheered for that. Rush was a more controversial figure and, until I started listening regularly, even I was not a fan. I particularly disliked his use of the “femi-nazi” trope. I am not a fan of ANY “Nazi” slur, not only because it is always wildly inaccurate, but because it utterly trivializes actual Nazism.
I came to really appreciate Rush, became a regular listener and wondered, as we all did, how we would ever get along without him going forward. Poorly, it turned out. I thought he was absolutely indispensable. But, as Charles de Gaulle said, “The graveyards are full of indispensable men.” And some time later, he joined them.
And now one more indispensable man, also named Charles, has been taken from us. Charlie Kirk provides an example that shocks the sensibilities of those of us who were raised around people, not Leftist hyenas. A beautiful young family man, not even yet in the prime of his life, is gunned down by a deranged sexual deviate.
If you are a gay man with a male partner you love, then may you live long and prosper. I have known several such couples. One couple, both talented entertainers, has been together for 30 years, or as they say, “that’s 210 in gay male years.”
But when your boyfriend with the male parts that gay men (and heterosexual women) are attracted to is going to get altered enough to pretend to pass as female, how was Charlie Kirk any kind of threat to that? Additionally, according to The Daily Mail, America’s journalists of record, the confessed murderer’s taste also ran to animal porn and – who knew there was such a sub-specialty? – BABY animal porn. What is that – pet-o-philia? Grow up. Who on God’s green earth can take that seriously as some kind of “oppressed” group?
I thought October 7 and the Jew-hating mini-pogroms on campus and elsewhere had rendered my mind kind of numb and unshockable. But I was wrong. Charlie Kirk’s murder and the cheerleaders for it have shocked me into intermittent catatonia.
Of all the wretched statements ghouls were willing to put in print or pixel, the man who said the Kirk children were better off without Charlie was the worst I’ve seen yet. Well, except for the posters suggesting candidates who should be murdered next but that’s not an opinion, that’s a terroristic threat. Let’s see if that is pursued with the “vigah” of J-6.
Tens of thousands of people – as has been pointed out – so often in the “caring, helping” professions – have not just silently approved of Charlie’s death. They have gleefully celebrated the murder of someone they have never met, someone whom they could never defeat in any argument, even if Donna Brazile gave them not just the questions, but the answers in advance.
When I ask in the title “Who ARE these people?,” it doesn’t mean I want names. I am glad somebody else is compiling those names and making sure current or future employers are aware of their pro-Violent Death proclivities. This is self-preservation, not vengeance. I don’t want a physician operating on me whose Hippocratic Oath is “Do whatever harm works for you if you hate the patient’s beliefs.”
Those hoisted on their own petards weep like spoiled children at getting a dose of their own cancel culture medicine. Gina Carrano lost her career for the crime of calling “Beep, bop, boop” her “pronouns”. Did she say she hoped all trans people should be shot in the neck? No. Did she say no such people should ever be employed? No. All she did was crack a joke about her own pronouns. And the demonic deviant army shouted in unison, “Burn the witch!”
What a shame that neither Literature nor History is now taught and young people have no idea what happened to the original leaders of the French Revolution once the tumbrels got rolling toward that guillotine. Madame Defarge could have knitted enough afghans to keep France warm all winter. Neither have the kids taken enough Physics to recall Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Jimmy Kimmel knows that Law now as hundreds of network affiliates said (I’m paraphrasing here…okay, just flat-out lying like he did…), “Our people have said they would rather watch Jake and the Fat Man reruns than that prevaricating poseur of a pretend comic.” His week-long “timeout” is over, but we’ll see if his career is too.
When Mad Maxine Waters – who doesn’t even live in her own rotten district – encouraged constituents to “get up in the faces” of Trump Administration officials at gas stations, in restaurants – and they DID; when Barack Obama suggested bringing a gun to a knife fight; when the duly elected Vice President of the United States cannot safely take his beautiful wife and children to Disneyland without harassment, then we have entered a new, yet strangely familiar period in American history. Entirely the result of Democrats. Entirely.
Let us pray it turns out better than last time. But, if not, our side gets every single COUNTY that went for Trump in 2024 and a regretful Blue City to be named later.
