I’ve listened to the usual suspects in politics and the media telling Americans how those who support the Second Amendment want dead children. I know a large number of fervent Second Amendment advocates, and I’ve yet to find one among them who wants to see dead children. This scurrilous sort of claim from the left should be familiar to you by now, because we see it in virtually every issue. When the issue is healthcare, we’re told we don’t care about people, and want to see Americans die for lack of “affordable healthcare.” Then, as if written in the script, the left institutes a huge government healthcare boondoggle that drives up the cost of healthcare for Americans in the range of four-thousand dollars per year. Sure, everybody has a healthcare plan, but nobody can afford to use it due to the extraordinary deductibles that have accompanied “universal healthcare.” This is the thing you learn about leftists if you watch them long enough, and see what they actually do. Every time they accuse their opponents of some evil, you can be sure that not only is it a lie, but that in fact, it is they who seek to enact the very evils they decry. It’s so predictable that it’s become nauseating, so now I’m going to tell you the truth about the school safety issue: The left says the NRA and the Republicans want dead children, but I’m going to prove to you that they don’t mind dead children at all, so long as it is they who kills them.
I could stop right there and walk away, task complete, but some would not be convinced by the mere assertion. They will need some evidence of my accusation, and I am obliged to offer it here. For decades, all my life really, I have heard the statist left accuse Republicans and Libertarians alike of wanting dead children because those groups will not support gun control. In the first place, Republicans support all sorts of gun control, and sadly always have. It was Ronald Reagan who signed the 1986 act of Congress that banned the further sale of automatic weapons to civilians. From that point forward, only those automatic already in civilian hands were to be permitted to exist, and they would be heavily taxed and regulated, and due to the incredibly small number, their prices are so absurdly high that most people could not begin to afford one. That was enacted by a Republican. Ronald Reagan? Remember him? It was one of the three things he did in the entirety of his presidency about which I still have real heartburn. (Amnesty, and pulling the troops from Beirut after the barracks bombing and the death of 241 US Marines, for the record.) Surely, that is gun control, and surely, President Reagan was a Republican. Is he off the hook for his alleged desire to “see children dead?” No, of course not.
Of course, if we’re interested in the question of dead children, as my friend Mr. L has pointed out recently, they had no problem with more than fifty-million dead children killed in utero by Planned Parenthood. They never miss an opportunity to see as many abortions performed as is possible. It’s not, as they argue, about the availability of “safe” abortions, but instead, about seeing to it that as many are performed as necessary. They claim to care about the women too, and accuse opponents of abortion as condemning women to unsafe, back-alley, coat-hanger abortions, but the truth as we have seen is that these clinics are dirty, their doctors don’t have hospital privileges, and women die due to the unsafe, unsanitary conditions, as well as the utter incompetence of the sort of hacks who tend to perform abortions in these human slaughterhouses.
The leftists who run the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association profess to us the undying love and devotion for the children of the teachers they represent, and while I have no doubt about the love many teachers have for their students, I doubt very seriously that either the AFT or the NEA have the first thing to do with it. I have no doubt but that Coach Feis, who placed himself in the line of fire between the gunman and children, had a deep sense of devotion to the students, but I point out that while the AFT and the NEA are opposed to teachers being armed, Coach Feis was reportedly a concealed carry permit holder, but did not carry at school because it would have violated the law. I believe the AFT and the NEA prefer dead students and teachers to the alternative of armed teachers. So much for the AFT’s or NEA’s alleged love of their members, never mind the children.
Then there’s this: These people tell us that they don’t wish to take away our guns, but only make us safer, more like Australia! Well, in fact, in Australia, they took away guns. The evidence has shown that crime has increased since. Imagine what happens to we Texans down here on or near the border when the drug cartels needn’t even worry about being repelled by ranchers with rifles? It’s astonishing. In Chicago, daily, they have nearly as man people shot as in the incident in Parkland, Florida, but Chicago has the strictest gun control in the country. In a month, the body county in Chicago rivals or exceeds the casualty count in the notorious Mandalay Bay shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, and many of the dead are children, most of them young black and hispanic males. They tell us what love they have for people of color, but what the truth reveals is that they have no problem stacking up their bodies like kindling for their socialist funeral pyre.
Even in less lethal circumstances, they always falsely accuse others of what they’ve already done. Consider Trump. They tell you “he colluded with the Russians to swing the election,” but what we now know is that they worked with Russians and other foreign agents to concoct a story about Trump so they could justify their spying on the Trump campaign throughout the 2016 election season. They’re even willing to undertake treason, which is the very crime of which they’ve frequently and vociferously accused others.
Now I’m going to let you in on the deadliest of their secret. As they tell you they don’t want full communism, and that that Trump and other Republicans or conservatives are “dictators” or “tyrants,” to date the only evidence of that is when they were inclined to go along with the statist left on issues like gun control. Remembering, as we must, that they accuse others of what they actually intend, consider this: They accuse Republicans of wanting to enslave others, or to kill them outright, so what then must we conclude about the left’s actual intentions? They say they are not tyrannical, and don’t wish to take our guns, but all the evidence is contrary to that postulate, and all of recent history shows they’re actually inclined to commit the crimes of which they accuse others. This means, taken to its logical conclusion, that the statist left intends to turn us into North Korea, or some ghastly approximation of it.
When one examines the results of the “Promise” program exposed in Parkland, Florida, whereby the criminal activities of students were concealed and obscured in order to get more federal dollars for the school district, one cannot help but notice the result: A future killer was left to roam the streets, when in fact, Nikolas Cruz should have been jailed and/or institutionalized long before. The problem is that this wouldn’t have served their purposes at the time, so that now you know that this kid was a known danger all along, and that they left him free to eventually wreak havoc, like they knew he would. They’re fine with havoc, so long as it advances their agenda. They’re always willing to break a few eggs. In for a penny, in for a pound. The statist left doesn’t mind deaths that serve their purposes. The money these greedy leftist school administrators took from the feds is simple blood-money to get the local stooges to happily, perhaps unwittingly play their assigned parts. The longer-term result of suppressing freedoms they hope to abolish is the primary goal of the monsters who provided the federal cash.
Ladies and gentlemen, don’t take my word for it. Trust your own eyes and ears, and the history you know, and the facts you have discerned. If any political organization in the United States wants the death of children, it is the anti-American, statist left. They profit from dead children, but the profit they seek is not mere money, but total dominion over your lives. They want you and your children dead, but only on their schedule, once you’ve served whatever use they have in mind for the remainder of the miserable existence they will permit you to endure. If Donald Trump gives them an inch, there will be even more dead children because they will have learned where is his weakness, and how to get to him. President Trump had better catch on fast, or he will have played right into their hands.
