I’m a big proponent of freedom. I think freedom is particularly difficult, because you have to defend the rights of the biggest, most disgusting assbags to spew complete ignorance with the same zest as you defend the rights of any other human being. I agree with Michael Douglas’ character in “The American President.”
“You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make
your blood boil, who’s standing center stage and advocating at the top
of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top
of yours.
That’s right. And while I will spend a lifetime defending the rights of odious hemorrhoids such as this to spew hatred toward those who treasure their constitutional rights, I also have the right to call him on his ignorance.
So this Gun Freak named Nightmare
sends his nine-year-old son to school wearing this T-Shirt. School
makes the kid turn it inside out for the rest of the day. Gun-Freak
Dad spends 6 straight days blogging about it.
“Gun Freak,” eh? So anyone who values his or her right to keep arms and refuses to be vilified for it, as well as takes steps to protest similar treatment of his son by panty-shitting school administrators, is apparently some kind of bizarre, violent anomaly. How many gun owners are there in this nation again? Oh, and the “offensive” t-shirt…
This.
Wow. That’s just disturbing! A t-shirt that affirms the wearer’s belief in his Second Amendment rights! How horrible!
Well, apparently, according to this particular shitstain, whose name is Cliff Lyon, by the way, the shirt represents an “extreme obsession.”
What is this extreme obsession with guns? I weep for the poor little
kid. He’s not even old enough to use a gun and his Dad is using him to
promote guns and scaring a lot of other little kids in the process.
I weep for blithering ignorami such as this, who a) think a shirt promoting the RIGHT to self defense represents something as unhealthy as an obsession and b) think that a shirt depicting tools of self defense will scare little kids. If pictures of simple tools on a shirt scare little kids, this society is in deep, deep trouble.
And by the way, maybe the sodden crotchfruit of this blibbering thatch of ass hair aren’t mature enough to use a gun, but my son could recite gun safety rules since before he could tie his shoes, and his first trip to the range was at the tender age of 7. There’s nothing humiliating about standing up for one’s rights, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with ensuring that one’s children have a healthy respect for firearms.
I’m sure Cliff Lyon’s children stare wide-eyed at pictures of weapons and probably soil themselves in tremulous fear. But normal, healthy, self-confident children have no fear of guns, nor of rifles.
Cliff then proceeds to soil his leather, metal-studded thong at the fact that the shirt actually depicts *GASP* evil handguns!
Is an NRA t-shirt with 4 hand guns designed to shoot at people on it
promoting violence? I would be hard to imagine a more violent
t-shirt. I suppose depicting and actual murder might be worse.
So I have this Glock, Cliff. It’s an evil Glock 23 .40 caliber handgun designed to shoot people. It’s horrible. Sometimes it gets out of its holster and goes on shooting sprees, because that is its nature. Last night it hotwired a car, drove into the District and shot a few underprivileged minorities and undocumented workers. Hard to imagine a more violent implement. It may look all cute and innocent there on my nightstand, but I know as soon as I fall asleep, the violent, evil gun will wreak havoc upon an unsuspecting society.
Does an NRA t-shirt with 4 hand guns designed to shoot at people
promote anti-social behavior? Next time you are in a nice social
situation like school, church or family picnic, try pulling out a hand
gun then take a poll.
You know, I don’t know too many responsible gun owners who randomly go to a family function, pull out their handguns and wave them around at people. You’d be surprised how many people carry their tools of self defense at family functions and churches with no problem. They don’t wave them around like idiots, and they don’t make spectacles of themselves. They aren’t anti-social. They merely choose to exercise their rights and take responsibility for their own safety and the safely of their loved ones.
Cliff calls that “anti-social behavior.”
Cliff is a grade-A douchebag.

“I’m sure Cliff Lyon’s children stare wide-eyed at pictures of weapons and probably soil themselves in tremulous fear.”…..He has children???? Wonder whose they are?

Y’know, for as tolerant as they proclaim themselves to be, anti-gun leftists sure come off as some bigoted assholes.
Apr 04, 2009 @ 16:32:11
No doubt. The moment I saw the words “Gun Freak,” I knew this prejudiced asshole was… well… in fact… an ASSHOLE!
Apr 04, 2009 @ 16:49:08
Holy cow. What is so scary is that he is one of many who think that same idiotic way. Your blog commentary is spot on not to mention hilarious. It takes a special kind of person to successfully insult someone while still sounding highly intellectual in the process and then pepper it all with grand sarcasm. I am definitely forwarding your blog to others for them to read. You’re a riot.

In fact, I don’t know if you have noticed this trend in popular music where they bleep out the word “gun” these days. Like it is some bad word or something and if kids hear it, they are going to become violent and go on a killing spree. I was listening to this song by Lady GaGa (called pokerface) {yes my musical tastes run the gamut, but I do like the song}. Anyway, I have heard the tune many times so I know the words. I went to youtube to watch the official video and for crying out loud, don’t ya know they have edited out the word GUN in her lyrics. The video shows all kinds of sexual innuendo and scantily clad women, but apparently the evil part that they found offensive is the fact that she says “gun” in the lyrics. Give us a break for crying out loud. I guess being a total slut and getting pregnant at 11 years old is far more acceptable to these jackasses than understanding the 2nd amendment and gun safety and wearing something like that to school. Please!

Big thanks Nicki.The school apologized to him this week.It’s not quite done yet.

WTF is he talking about? He lost me in the first paragraph when he said the “poor little kid” is not even old enough to use guns.My aching ass he’s not old enough. I started shooting guns when I was 6 years old. I have PHOTOS of me holding one of my dad’s rifles as I shot at empty beer cans or pop cans.I’m so damn tired of these idiots spouting off about things they know NOTHING about. You want me to listen to you, use facts. You want me to turn a deaf ear to you, use spin.I’m so sick of sheeple.

I just crack up everytime I read your blog. Your use of profanity is the best I’ve ever seen ANYWHERE.Seriously.Love and kisses,Cara : )

Ahhh, so Cliffy is still spewing his hatred and bigotry. I had a run in with this douchenozzle last year (lost in my blog crash unfortunately) and he’s only the second person I’ve ever banned from my blog. He deserves all the derision and snark sent his way.
Apr 06, 2009 @ 19:55:58
Oh, and as far as children go, I’m pretty sure Cliffy is gay…not that there’s anything wrong with that…

I’ve never enjoyed the use of adjectives more than I did while reading this article.

This was interesting. Oneutah wrote: “It would be hard to imagine a more violent t-shirt”. To which I ask, “Hard for whom?” He, (Oneutah) knows that a t-shirt is both “violent” and no one could possibly imagine any other t-shirt so “violent”. What astonishing, self referential narcissism! (I suggest this syllogism might describe the ‘thinking’: “Because I cannot think of any other cases of ‘whatsoever’, therefore there are none.” Who reading this believes the conclusion follows?) On a video at NRO Thomas Sowell said about the left, (paraphrasing) they cannot imagine someone looking at facts they look at and reaching a different conclusion. And when someone does, they must be crazy, bigoted, hateful or, in this case, “gun freaks”. How rational is it to believe one’s own point of view is the only possible conclusion? That any others must be aberrant, or even pathological…? In his ‘article’ Oneutah piles these self-referential/self-confirmed statements one on another so thick it is hard to know where to begin a refutation. So many invalid assumptions, so many incorrect conclusions, so little time.

Something else… Mark Steyn wrote: “I wouldn’t lose a moment’s sleep if I read in the paper that New Zealand and Switzerland had decided to become nuclear powers. It’s not the technology (which can’t be un-invented, any more than the rifle or the spear or the sling could). It’s the regime.” Isn’t there a species of leftist who says, “We have nuclear weapons, who are we to say Iran, or North Korea shouldn’t?” In these cases both the criminal regime and the the ‘designed only to kill’ weapon are irrelevant. With firearms it is the object which is the ‘evildoer’. Why not apply this nuclear principle? “Criminals have firearms, who am I to say someone shouldn’t have them?” I suspect, to use Van der Leun’s phrase, we’d see leftists’ “teeth catch fire”. Heh.
