In a thoughtful mood

One of the more visited posts that I made last week was about Barnhardt.  She has something again that I'd like to respond to.

One it comes to myself, or moi, if you will, I am pretty much aware of what's going on in the country.  Maybe I don't know every cotton picking thing, but generally speaking, I try to keep up.  As for the French Revolution, I didn't study that too much in my history books.  So, there's a bit of an ignorance there.  But that ignorance is irrelevant.

My impression of the French today is that they are doing a few things right.  The rest?  I don't know, maybe not so much.  I have written what I think of socialism.  That the French are doing it does not speak well for them.  That many of the young today in THIS country are starting to admire socialism over capitalism, is not a good sign.

The French are using nuclear power.  They get 80% of the power from nukes.  That's good.  That we should do that.  The French aren't going to be at the mercy of the Russians thanks to that.

Now, the question is always this...  What do you do about a problem?  That the French have embraced socialism and that we are starting to, is not a good thing---agreed.  But what do you do about it?  Fight?  Please.  Whenever you fight, you must be aware that the fortunes of war can turn in any direction.  For example, the Spanish Armada was the mightiest force in Europe before the ocean's storms swallowed them up.  The English Navy did the rest and they became the new superpower of the day.  The fortunes of war didn't smile upon the Spanish Armada in that storm.

I AM NOT CLAIMING PASSIVITY AS AN ANSWER.  This is in all caps because somebody just doesn't seem to get what I'm saying.  Haven't I been saying all along that you don't give up your guns---EVER?  Haven't I been saying all along that the regime wants guns for the very purpose of rendering us all helpless against their power?  That they are seeking this doesn't speak well for them or us.  For them to think that they have any chance at all of succeeding at this at all is testimony to the fact that not enough has been impressed upon them that any attempt at disarming us is bound to end in futility.  If they were made absolutely aware and convinced of this, they wouldn't be trying it.  For they would know that it would be a complete waste of time.   No, they are trying it because they think they can succeed at this.  I'm telling anyone who wants to hear this that an aggressor will back off the moment they know that their aggression will not succeed.  You have to convince the aggressor of this.  We aren't doing that good enough.

Here's some aggression for you:  "From my dead cold hands you will pry my gun from my hands".  If everybody said this and meant it, we will be safe from the type of people who are capable of genocide.  The left doesn't offer anything.  They are there to take whatever they can take.  It is your job to show them that this will fail and fail miserably.

The big question is how best to do this?  But isn't this what I've been doing all along?  But nobody is interested.  Why?  Because they want to be entertained.  Babies need to be entertained constantly.  If you need constant entertainment, you are emotionally and intellectually a baby.  You have to grow the fuck up.  That's a big challenge when nobody wants to be serious about anything.
