Read the whole thing. [CaptainsJournal] Yes, that’s really him. He makes this too easy, yes?
So this commentary is such sewage that it’s difficult to know where to begin, and I won’t offer a complete commentary on his evil antics. Ignore for a moment what a steaming pile of shit Gawker is. Ignore the falsity of this premise on guns and the elderly. Those of us who do gun news searches every day, multiple times per day, know how much guns have helped the elderly and how they need them in an era of increased crime (especially in gang infested areas). Getting into the details of his premise is what he wants you to do. I want you to understand the boy, Hamilton Nolan.
How could such a monster exist, you ask? Well, I am reminded once of a group of Deacons at a church (not mine) whom I overheard at work, and they were having to assist a divorcee woman whose husband left her because he wanted to screw around with a younger woman. Their assistance involved moving furniture because she could no longer afford the home, repair to the home so that it could sell, and all manner of things families do when they are together. They didn’t begrudge it, mind you, but every minute they spent doing this was a minute they couldn’t spend doing the same thing for their families.
They decided that they were going to track down this dude and whip his ass for what he did. There are no longer consequences, they believed, and there had to be some. No-fault divorce was for the piss ant court system. They found fault, and they were going to enforce their punishment. I don’t know what ended up happening. In a way, Hamilton is like that adulterer husband. Honoring your father and mother is one of the ten commandments too. And recall what we’ve discussed regarding the ten commandments – it is called constitutional law, or the moral law. All sorts of case law and other principles come from it. So for example, we are told to “rise before the hoary head” in respect for our elders (Lev 19:32, or “stand up in the presence of the aged”). Boy-Hamilton needs to have someone take him out behind the building and whip his ass. It won’t happen of course, and that goes to show you how morally corrupt America has become. In a morally upright America, Hamilton would get his ass whipped for disrespecting his elders.
The final thing I want to leave you with is just what kind of boy Hamilton is. Hamilton lives in a very dark world, where he sees himself aging (even though apparently at his age he still has acne, he will one day grow old). He doesn’t want to age because he probably believes that when you die, your body cools to ambient temperature and that’s the end. Hamilton probably never had a spanking as a child. His mommy and daddy – if he had one – let him do whatever the hell he wanted to do. He had no boundaries. He needed boundaries. He probably begged for boundaries. But his parents probably listened to the progressives on family health.
The awful public school system taught him to hate everything and everyone, including himself. His hatred is so intense, so sweeping and so ubiquitous that he hates the very predecessors who brought him into being. He hates his elders because he hates who he is and wishes he didn’t exist. He wears effete, metrosexual clothing as an act of self deprecation, and his writing consists of venom to be spewed towards anything that gets in the way.
Hamilton is a dipshit sad, sad boy. Don’t be like Hamilton.

Guns Won’t Protect You, Old People, You’re Too Old And Weak
My dad turned 81 this last New Year's Day. He's starting to slow up a bit, and a mild form of Parkinson's doesn't do him any favors. On the other hand, I watched last summer as he took his cherished M14 and fired a perfect USMC qualifying score.
An old man with a gun, indeed.

There is a story about an old man who was pushing his shopping cart out to his car when a punk came up to hassle him. The old man closed the distance grabbed the punks belt and shoved a serrated folder edge up against the punks belly and said, "I'm going to gut you like a chicken boy, any last words?"

Hey Raj, I'm 51 with a bum leg, and I'd kick this punk's ass from here to Worcester.
I'm near Worcester, 66 with a bum back, you get him here and I'll take him to Springfield.

On the contrary. I see young men all the time who are flabby, effeminate and feeble. They spend all their time playing video games and watching TV. The PE classes in high school are a joke. The kids are afraid to work up a sweat because there are no towels so they don't take showers afterwards.
Old guys rule.

My old man at 81 with poor vision was visited by a young idiot that wanted to come up on the front porch that my father was sitting on and whoop his ass for calling the police on his loud music next door.
When the idiot put his foot on the first step, my father reached just inside the door and pulled out an AR-15 with a 30 round banana clip and announced, "I may not be able to see very well but I bet I can still hit you with at least one of these 30 rounds from 6 feet away."
Drama queen was back on his property in seconds.

I think there was a report which came out stating an increase in purchases and training by the elders.
So our 26 year old undereducated virgin who likes to hold the hands of his wine mates and make them promises of trolling, he starts pounding his tiny fingers and quietly giggles to himself for his ironic photo of himself wearing a cheapo Darth Vader mask in a Wal-Mart.

My mom told the story of the time when somebody woke them up in the middle of the night trying to break into the back door. My old man had an old .22 rifle and threatened to use it. The would be burglar left in a hurry.

But I think I can take care of myself, with the help of my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.
Of late, Mr. Ruger has befriended me too. :-D

As per #8, oh yeah baby one of the greatest scenes e-v-a-r! from John Wayne's films or any Western movie ever made.
Backhanded compliment
Donald Trump's success has been the most perplexing phenomenon of this election cycle. Why on earth has this New York vulgarian resonated with a full third of Republican voters? Trump's appeal taps into a middle-class fear of American decline: crises from trade and immigration to debt and foreign policy are pulling down a once great America to the mediocre status of other flailing countries. Yet while Trump has proved Machiavellian in tapping into popular furor, his policy proposals are typically vague and at times preposterous.
VDH shows that there is such a thing as "backhanded criticism"
#2
Nothing surprising about it. People are mad. They are sick of being betrayed. Trump talked to them, told them what they wanted to hear. If he were for real he would be a hero. Sadly, he's just another lifelong liberal ready and eager to sell us all downriver.
#3
I feel a lot of labels are falling at this time as people are looking for a patron to protect their interests. If you believe that magically government is going shrink short of being burned down, I have bridge for sale for you. Avoiding open bloodshed and monumental disruptions means seeking protection and power for your group that has been victimized now for generations by patrons of other groups. They've consolidated the power. It's not going away. Either you grab it or be further victimized by it. There is no 'right man'. Make the best of what you got.

According to Wikipedia the US sends about half a billion dollars to Mexico each year in foreign aid. So if the wall costs $8 billion we'll do it on the installment plan. That's pretty specific, isn't it? Even I could figure it out. Next.

Trump's latest idiocy - criticising the Geneva Conventions. He's already having to walk this back. Yesterday he wasnted the Supreme Court to investigate Hilliary's email - what a moron, not even a clue about how the judicial branch works.

When the "Respectable Right" is ineffective and corrupt (or perceived to be), people will look elsewhere for a champion, and their choice may or may not be a wise one.
This is ultimately on the GOPe, its fecklessness and its utter contempt for the base.
And Trump may be pretty benign compared to what comes next.
[The Atlantic] During the course of reporting on the Obama administration's foreign and defense policies over the past several years, I've gained a certain level of insight into its frustrations, proclivities, and predispositions in the international arena. Yet Jeffrey, you still carry him fondly in your heart-of-hearts
President Obama himself is famously transactional when it comes to relations with other leaders; in my new article on his foreign policy, I make note of his strong belief that countries tend to act in what their leaders perceive to be their core interests, and I've come to see that Obama doesn't place enormous value in the notion that well-developed personal relationships between leaders could ever trump the cold-eyed pursuit of those interests. Yeah, the only relationship he values is with himself, like any true narcissist
Nevertheless, he has intense relationships with many world leaders--and he has become, in his last years as president, a mentor to a handful of important new ones. Lord, help us
In speaking over the years with senior officials in his administration and other close observers of the president's conduct of foreign relations, I've gathered impressions of how they parse the president's view of his counterparts in other countries. Sometimes, in interviews with me, the president has rendered his own judgments. Drawing on these conversations, I've attempted to place some of these leaders on a continuum reflecting the state of their relations with Obama--from actually warm to ice-cold." RTWT. Interesting take on how our 'Passive-Aggressive' leader thinks

[DAWN] THE Lahore park bombing ought to have been a moment of clarity. All institutions of the state -- federal, provincial, civilian and military -- need to work together, immediately, purposefully and on a sustained basis, if terrorism and militancy are to be defeated.
Yet, in the very moment that the country needed its leaders to demonstrate resolve and unity, an utterly befuddling signal has been sent.
Instead of jointly trying to address the challenge that the Lahore bombing has created, the army and politicianships appear to have withdrawn into their respective camps.

[DAWN] THERE are times when it is possible to be shocked and horrified without entirely being surprised. Sunday’s atrocity in Lahore falls into that category. The mass murder in a public park, evidently aimed primarily at Christians celebrating Easter, in the full knowledge that a large proportion of the victims would be children, epitomises the mindless brutality of forces unleashed almost four decades ago.
A comment in The Guardian on Monday lamenting the Gulshan-e-Iqbal suicide kaboom was titled ‘Religious snuffies will never succeed in taking over Pakistain’. It’s a well-intentioned piece, but it ignores the fact that Islamic fanatics did in fact take over Pakistain in 1977. Their triumph was never complete, but what was wrought under the aegis of Gen Zia ul Haq ...the creepy-looking former dictator of Pakistain. Zia was an Islamic nutball who imposed his nutballery on the rest of the country with the enthusiastic assistance of the nation's religious parties, which are populated by other nutballs. He was appointed Chief of Army Staff in 1976 by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whom he hanged when he seized power. His time in office was a period of repression, with hundreds of thousands of political rivals, minorities, and journalists executed or tortured, including senior general officers convicted in coup-d'état plots, who would normally be above the law. As part of his alliance with the religious parties, his government helped run the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, providing safe havens, American equipiment, Saudi money, and Pak handlers to selected mujaheddin. Zia died along with several of his top generals and admirals and the then United States Ambassador to Pakistain Arnold Lewis Raphel when he was assassinated in a suspicious air crash near Bahawalpur in 1988... has never completely been rolled back either.

[DAWN] A SUNDAY evening in spring at a park in the middle of a crowded city; the squeals of children, laughter, joy and general merriment. It was what terror wishes most to mar with its cruel infliction of death, and it is indeed where terror struck. Even as Pakistain’s album of horrors lies full, this Sunday past brought another lurid page, another tragedy to add to what is an achingly long list. When the bodies were counted, and so many were so small, more than 70 lay dead and over 200 were maimed, some undoubtedly likely to perish in the days to come. According to news reports, many families perished in halves or wholes; one big brood visiting from Sanghar in Sindh lost eight family members.
Even before the bodies were counted, the lists of injured and dead posted on hospital bulletin boards for distraught relatives to read over and over, there was a claim of responsibility. The Jamaatul Ahrar ...A Pak Taliban splinter group that split off from the Mullah Fazlullah faction because it wasn't violent enough... , a splinter group of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, claimed it had carried out the attack, releasing not only a picture of the jacket wallah but a promise of their own video of the attack. Their targets, they said, had been those celebrating Easter; the fact that they were families and children did nothing to temper the death sentence that the group wished to deliver.

Too bad no one in the "main stream media" reads Dawn, or the 'Burg. Those folks all 'know' the violence had nothing to do with 'religion', it was probably a protest for West-Bank Settlements, or maybe Indian Kashmiri aspirations. Nothing of interest here.

[DAWN] YET another bloodbath, yet another day of mourning. It is the Pakistain story so regularly repeated that we have forgotten the count. From the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. school massacre, to the Lahore park kaboom, it is children who are bearing the brunt of the unending cycle of turban violence. One thought the Peshawar tragedy would be the final turning point uniting the nation, but that public outrage proved to be fleeting.
Sunday’s incidents laid bare the government’s patchy and lacklustre response to violent extremism.
Now the latest carnage has taken place in the heart of Punjab

[Reuters] Like other militant movements, especially al Qaeda and its offshoots, Islamic State is inspired by a group of religious scholars across Islam's history who advocated the idea of declaring other Muslims as infidels or apostates, and justifying their killing. This notion of takfir is central to the ideology of most contemporary Islamic militant groups, who have killed far more Muslims than non-Muslims. Islamic State's leaders cherry-pick the sources and scholars they choose to imitate...Like its predecessors, Islamic State reads Islam's history and its foundational texts selectively, choosing the parts and thinkers who fit into its vision of Sunni dominance, brutality and constant war with pretty much everyone else.

there are many, many more than three
also, contrary to mohammad Bassi's statement that,
"...the group justifies its violence, especially against civilians, with selective interpretations of Islamic texts and scholars that are rejected by the vast majority of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims...."
the vast majority of the world's muslims have never read these 'selective interpretations' and, in fact, the vast majority of the world's muslims don't understand the dialect of arabic in the Koran.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.

They decided that they were going to track down this dude and whip his ass for what he did. There are no longer consequences, they believed, and there had to be some. No-fault divorce was for the piss ant court system. They found fault, and they were going to enforce their punishment. I don’t know what ended up happening.
