Many years ago, I ran into Staples to pick up some sort of office supply. I can’t remember what it was. It was supposed to be a surgical strike. In, out, and on my way.
Or so I thought.
I found what I wanted quickly enough. But the guy in front of me at the checkout was taking forever. After five or so minutes of listening to him argue with the cashier about whether or not his two-dollar coupon was still good (it wasn’t), I offered to give the guy two dollars if he’d just forget the coupon and pay full price.
He looked at me and said, “You know what they say, one man’s floor is another man’s ceiling.” We were only talking about two bucks, but, whatever. If that’s the difference between my floor and his ceiling, then he probably had better things to spend his money on than printer paper.
Highly-Questionable Morals
There’s a house in my neighborhood with a sign in the front yard. The sign reads, “If you cut off my reproductive choice, can I cut off yours?”
First of all, nobody is taking away anyone’s reproductive choice. Everyone, man or woman, has the same choice. You can choose to fornicate, or not.
People like the woman with the sign in her front yard aren’t concerned about their reproductive rights, they’re only interested in not having to live with the consequences of treating the process of human reproduction as entertainment.
Everyone has choices. Women can choose to use birth control and men can choose to use a condom. Then, of course, there’s the choice to just not fuck in the first place.
Reproductive choice should happen before conception, not after it. The woman with the sign in her front yard has reproductive choices, she just doesn’t like what they are. She wants to be able to have casual sex whenever she wants with whomever she wants.
You know what they say, “One woman’s reproductive choice is another woman’s whoring around.”
One Man’s Madness
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a Tesla with a small sticker on the back window. The sticker said, “I bought this before the madness started.”
My first thought was that it was strange that he’d think anyone else would refrain from damaging his car just because he put a sticker on it. Why would anyone care if he bought his car before the madness of Elon Derangement Syndrome became a thing.
Then it occurred to me that he wasn’t talking about that madness. He was talking about Trump and Elon championing government accountability.
A lot of people think that trying to reign in the government is a good idea. But incredibly, there are also a lot of people who believe that we should continue to throw away good money after bad. Money that we don’t have. Money that we have to borrow before we can throw it away.
So, instead of trying to do something about runaway government spending, the Left complains when someone does something about government waste and corruption.
You know what they say, “One man’s madness is another man’s sanity.”
But now that Elon seems to have separated himself from Maga, all of a sudden he’s back in favor with the Left again. And Elon is at least considering funding campaigns of Democrat candidates. It turns out there is a cure for Elon Derangement Syndrome. The cure, apparently, is the potential for receiving some of Elon’s money.
You know what they say, “One man’s insanity is another man’s campaign contribution.”
This is not the genocide you’re looking for
Last week, Trump met with the South African president. President Trump talked about how white farmers in South Africa are being persecuted just because of the color of their skin. The Left denies this allegation. They claim there is no evidence of a genocide happening in South Africa.
I don’t know for sure how many white farmers have been murdered in South Africa. But I know the number is greater than zero. And when far-left leadership supports the genocide of white folks, well, we probably should take them at their word.
There’s as much of a genocide happening in South Africa as there is in Gaza. Except the genocide in Gaza isn’t what the Left wants you to believe it is.
Israel isn’t trying to wipe out Palestinians. Israel is trying to wipe out Hamas. Hamas, on the other hand, has made it their mission to annihilate every Jew on the planet.
Israel didn’t draw first blood. What the Left doesn’t seem to understand, or at least remember, is that Hamas still has 58 hostages they took after invading Israel more than a year and a half ago.
If anything, Israel has shown incredible restraint. If I were in charge of Israel’s defense, by now I would have turned Gaza into a parking lot. As much as people complain about Israel’s response to having their country invaded, it could have been, and in my opinion should have been, much worse.
You know what they say, “One man’s self-defense is another man’s genocide.”
Extra Crispy
Now, because of the ridiculous claim that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, we end up with idiots like the guy in Denver who recently went on a rampage at a demonstration that was calling for the release of the Israeli hostages.
You know, those same hostages that were kidnapped on Israeli soil and have been held in inhumane conditions for more than 600 days (and counting).
Well, this asshole set 12 people on fire with a homemade flamethrower and said he “wanted to kill all Zionist people.” Maybe it’s just me but I think that sounds an awful lot like he’s a fan of genocide. At least when it comes to the Jews.
This sort of thing has become par for the course when it comes to the Left. I realize that the aforementioned asshole was from Egypt and his immigration status is a bit sketchy. But he’s a good example of the disastrous effect of an open border policy.
He’s also a good example of what happens when mentally unstable people are fed a diet of misinformation and outright lies.
Where were the cries of outrage from the Left over this obvious act of terrorism? Well, there wasn’t any. In fact, many on the Left showed support for his actions. Or at least empathy for his position.
You know what they say, “One man’s open border is 25 million illegal aliens’ way into our country.”
Garbage In, Garbage Out
We’ve got an entire generation who have been trained that it’s OK to riot and loot when they’re not getting their way. Well, half of that generation anyway. The folks on the Right still understand the difference between right and wrong.
As with the George Floyd riots, people are being fed a continuous stream of misinformation and lies which causes the ignorant to become incensed about something that doesn’t exist.
And that’s what’s causing the riots against ICE, and the ridiculous pro-Palestine “demonstrations” (aka riots). Well, that and the fact that nobody ever seems to get in trouble for the mayhem and destruction they cause while “protesting peacefully”. The lack of punishment for doing something obviously illegal emboldens otherwise law-abiding people to do ridiculously stupid things.
We can’t expect people to accept the consequences of their actions, if there are no consequences for their actions. I’m all for people stating their opinion, but they cross the line when they destroy things. We have laws against that sort of thing. I’d like to see them enforced.
In my opinion, once the protests turn violent, then the entire thing should be shut down.
But we’re being told that what we’re seeing aren’t riots and they’re not violent and that most people are, in the words of one talking head, “just standing around enjoying themselves watching cars burn.”
You know what they say, “One man’s mostly peaceful protest is another man’s act of terrorism.”
