Missouri Cops: Don’t Mess With Them.
Nobody Get Email
Here in Missouri, the cops like to get their man–especially if he is lying paralysed flat on his face, down next to the highway, and can’t move.
They HAD to keep this young boy from–I guess, rolling onto the highway, (Yes, that’s what they said. Most people would have called an ambulance) or maybe getting their doughnuts out of their hands…so they did what any cop would do…they tasered him 19 times!
It seems, six or seven was not enough.
While Nobody is quite sure how a young boy of sixteen, ended up ‘falling’ from a concrete overpass…while stone sober, but needless to say: IF you are going to commit suicide in Missouri, be sure you do it somewhere where the local cops can’t come and taser you, because you’re still alive. This kid is not talking, and I don’t blame him. I’d take the secret to my grave.
Really. I’m not leaving my house.
This must be the new Obama plan for keeping our cops safe, from dangerous paralyzed comatose citizens.
Taser till you see the whites of their eyes.

Rebecca ‘Michelle’ of Sunnybrook Farm
Nobody Cares
Is it me? Or does Michelle just bring out her “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” dresses when Obama is campaigning to be President? She saves her $10,000 dollar getups to embarrass the royals.
Oh, but she does look lovely!
Just to show that I don’t think she is ‘pandering to those people clinging to their guns and religion”, I”ve posted a few more pictures of Michelle taken on the campaign trail. Michelle is smart enough to know the meaning of “fit in with the crowd” and we LOVE her for it! (Thanks to Tom Beebe)
Enjoy!
Nobody Remembers the Depression of 1740
Nobody Remembers
Well…I just can’t wait to pay twenty dollars for a pound of hamburger, can you? Here we are, in a modern depression, where we can charge up our debt just like our govenment…and Nobody Wonders…We remember the great depression of the 1930’s, but was there one we forgot? Well who knew? We had a big one in 1740.
There is a feeling among the Brits, that America was wrong for wanting to leave the motherland to which it came from. This feeling is very common among the British people.
So, Nobody Asks...What exactly started that whole mess? Was it just King George being a ninny? Or was there a little more to it?
Here’s a few paragraphs from the book: Sam Adams: Pioneer in Propaganda by John C. Miller
The Revolution was at first caused by…guess what? A major depression.
In 1740, it was clear that a popular upheaval was imminent in the colony. It was over an old scheme called the “Land Bank” which promised hard-pressed farmers and town mechanics a Utopia of paper money backed by real estate. The promoters of the land Bank were frankly inflationist’s who proposed to bring back prosperity by flooding the country with paper bills and at the same time, to “humble the Merchants” by taking the control of currency out of their hands.
(Can you say Federal Reserve? Can you say…Barney Frank? )
It was in 1740 that the colony (Boston) reached the crisis of an economic depression. Throughout the greater part of the century, the lack of a stable currency embittered Massachusetts politics and divided parties on class lines: debtors against creditors, and inflationist against the “sound money” mercantile aristocracy. As commerce began to decline and farmers and town artisans found themselves in a “pretty Pickle” because of the currency shortage, hostility mounted everywhere in the colony against the wealthy Boston merchants who by paying their debts in England with colonial silver made the scarcity more acute at home. Two distinct social classes were arrayed against each other by the inflationist sentiment that had swept over the colony.
It came down to who would control the colony.
The point is: Our economy is only going to get worse before the election. And with this year’s drought, who knows how bad it will get? If history repeats itself, there will be a change in “rulers.”
Will Paul Ryan then join in with Rand and Ron Paul to pass a bill to audit OUR inflationary Federal Reserve Kings?
Nobody Knows.
Will the Brits ever forgive us for breaking free and forming our own country?
Don’t count on it. Nobody Thinks we’ll get hit by a comet first.
Nobody’s Fool: Gov. Jan Brewer
Nobody’s Fool.
Jan Brewer is still fighting Obama. (see recent video here.)
For too long, the illegal immigrant have been stealing our money, food, jobs, and health care. Redistribution from hard-working Americans to illegal immigrants has been happening for too many years. The laws are being ignored, and Bush was just as guilty of this migration as Obama is today.
BUT…Bush did not give them amnesty. Obama has.
So Jan is one of the few, along with Joe Apaio, fighting the administration. Most Americans agree with her. All they have to do is cross the border and they get free child care, free medical care, free education, free food, and social security benefits.
The massive invasion of undocumented immigrants in this country is the final nail in the coffin of “America.” We protect the borders of Afghanistan but not our own. Is it any wonder our soldiers are committing suicide? Why do they fight?
Jan Brewer is not going down without a fight. She is NO fool, and she is standing up to the great ‘Obama.’
God bless her. Arizona is lucky to have her. It’s the President who is committing treason here, not Jan Brewer.
This from today’s news:
Legal experts say they expect a court challenge to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s order denying driver’s licenses and public benefits to young undocumented immigrants who qualify to stay in the U.S. under a new Obama administration program. In addition to driver’s licenses, Brewer’s order bars undocumented immigrants who qualify for the deportation reprieve from public benefits that include state-subsidized child care; KidsCare, a children’s health-insurance program; unemployment benefits; business and professional licenses and government contracts,
Obama’s VOTERS …Testing Their…IQ
Nobody Knows
You know, I started watching this…and thought…it’s too long..I’ll just watch a bit of it. But, I had to watch it all….and it shows, just how well the democrats get their brain numbing negative hits stuck in people’s heads. As you can see, all these people, who look as dumb as rocks, are just repeating what they hear on their favorite liberal News programs. And it’s depressing, because these are the people the democrats pick up in buses and make SURE get to the polls. The ignorant, the stupid. The gullible. The naive. It’s sad.
Nobody Laughs at Helen Gurly Brown
Nobody Flashes
I don’t want this to sound mean, but today Helen Gurly Brown died, and I’m happy to report, her dying has left me in such a happy mood. Don’t get me wrong. Sorry to her family, but the old gal lived a pretty good long life.(90) She basically was a regular…(in the words of maybe… Rush Limbaugh) “slut.” and she promoted “slutness” to the highest degree.
Nobody would call her…ambitious, and she made it the old fashioned way: She slept her way to the top! Really…that’s what she says.
Who am I to judge? She had to have really great business sense to keep a magazine going for so many years. Helen made a magazine promoting all the ways you can have sex …the sort of modern day Sutra without the pictures. A great force for the condom industry and sex industry in general. Helen gets the Olympian gold medal for sexually arousing generations of young girls for men for decades! Anyway it gave me an excuse to go The Cosmopolitan website, and once again, have good laugh.
What’s Cosmopolitan? If you have no clue…then you are not from this planet, because Cosmopolitan has been the savior of every woman who has had to stand in a long line anywhere.
Having said that: I have NEVER seen a man pick one up.
And why not, you may ask? Because it’s all about how to please your man sexually, which is a contradiction in itself, because if you’re in a relationship and having a good time, I say, don’t fix what’s not broken, but that’s me.
Evidently too many women feel stupid about it.
“My own philosophy is if you’re not having sex, you’re finished. It separates the girls from the old people,” she told an interviewer.
The Browns were childless by choice, she said. You can’t be sexual at 60 if you’re fat,” she observed on her 60th birthday. She also championed cosmetic surgery, speaking easily of her own nose job, facelifts and silicone injections.
And she looked like the plastic surgery…stuck! 
Because she died today, I went to Cosmopolitan site, and at the top was the headline:
HOW TO FIND YOUR G-SPOT!
I won’t go into it here, but basically she tells the girls it feels like a walnut. Nobody wants to know…By whose standards? I can’t stop laughing about this, so I’ll go onto her more mundane subject of:
GIRLS HABITS GUYS DON’T UNDERSTAND:
1. Thank you cards to your girlfriends….Guys don’t do this. They are too busy watching football. Girls have to have something to do to pass the time and make sure that whoever gave them that Birthday gift gives them another one NEXT year, because who know if that guy will be there, after he finds out she is reading Cosmopolitan?
2. Flannel Pajamas…For all the fat that are on a woman’s body, she stills wears flannels. Guys mostly go nude. I want to know why men don’t wear flannel pajamas. I think they are pretty sexy on a man. Nobody ever asks that question.
3. Decor Pillows…I have to agree with the men on this. But women are nest builders, and the nest is the bed and the bed MUST have designer pillows. I have designer pillows, but they are in the chair. It’s a waste of time putting them on the bed, unless the Queen was coming to my house—THEN I would put them on the bed. Otherwise I really don’t care if they never go on the bed again. Someone should make scented pillows..it would help on those mornings when you roll over..and smell last night’s pizza. 
4.Cluches: Right. I’m with the guys. Cute but…pointless. You can’t fit anything but a tampon in them, which is probably the point. Carrying a tampon around all night in your hand, would be…gross.
5. Wedge Heels. Now what’s wrong with wedge heels? YOU try walking on 6 inch stilettos! The wedges give you support, and trust me, most women in America need it. Picture Michelle Obama in high heels.
Or..don’t.
6. Thongs: Guys don’t like thongs? Who knew? Okay, so why are they watching Beach Volley ball?
7. Massive Purses: If you read me you know, I have a thing about ugly purses. I’ve had the same “purse” for ten years, and it’s basically like a college backpack. BUT…a woman needs a massive purse. I will be ready when the Obama Gestapo comes to put me in detention. My purse, has…everything in it I DON’T need and that’s the way I like it. Besides, a woman’s purse is like a man’s car. Think about it.
8. Eyelash Curler: I’d like to see a man put on fake eyelashes. Mastering advanced Algebra is much easier than learning to apply just the right amount of glue to your eyelash. Try it if you don’t believe me.
ENOUGH
Now, stop reading if you don’t want to get mad at me…but look at this picture. Helen Gurly Brown says YOU will LOVE this position of sex…because
Because there’s little eye contact, your man feels free to engage in reckless role-playing, a major turn-on for you both.
Uh..so the man is turned on by NOT having any eye contact with you? He is engaged in reckless role playing?
Uh..what role is he playing? Porcupine? Is he tearing down the Berlin Wall? He is sick of looking at your face? He doesn’t want to remember you putting your eyelashes in a curler?
Okay, I won’t do this stuff often. It’s just that, Helen Curly Brown’s Cosmopolitan was a genius at getting us all to look, and in my case laugh….and entertaining me in many a boring line at the grocery store.
I don’t think the magazine helped our society at all…but neither did Hugh Hefner..who will probably be following right behind her….and Hugh NEVER made me laugh.
Which I suppose somewhere there is an article written in Cosmo that said this:
WHY HUGH HEFNER NEVER MAKES A WOMAN LAUGH.
RIP Helen.. You were one- of- a- kind.
Paul Ryan’s Hope
Nobody’s Opinion
Hope encourages men to endure and attempt everything: in depriving them of it, or in making it too distant, you deprive them of their very soul.—(Maurice de Saxe )
The nurse was yelling at the man in the wheelchair. She had placed him in front of a mirror for “therapy.” While the man looked at himself in the mirror, eyes wide open, desperation and shock on his face..she keep yelling.
“Sit UP DALE! Look at you…you’re miserable. SIT UP you look terrible! Sit up straight! Look how ugly you look.”
She kept pacing around the room…all the time yelling at the poor man in the wheelchair, who was slumped —his arm hanging over the side, he was barely sitting at all. 
The man sat there, still in shock… “God damn it Dale, you’re not trying. SIT UP –you lazy man!”
She didn’t see me coming in behind her into the room. The cruelty and hatred coming out of that nurse shocked me to the core. I wanted to smack her clear across the room…because that was my dad, and he had just suffered a major brain hemorrhage, which had left him completely paralyzed on one whole side of his body. You could tell on his face that he recognized himself, and was horrified at his appearance. The realization that he could not use half of his body to sit up was also another great shock. What kind of person would do that to someone? 
I saw this kind of behavior over and over again in the years I spent in hospitals with my parents. The nurses had explained that the sooner the patient realized they were not going to get better, the better they could deal with it.
Right.
I still get mad thinking about this, because I don’t care if your 93, and just had a heart attack, you still have a soul, and that soul needs to hope that you will get better to live even if for a few more days. Hope is the reason humans do anything. Hope for love, hope for health, hope for money, for fame, for a country that LETS you…keep on hoping.
Which brings me to Paul Ryan.
This weekend, as the news spread that Paul Ryan had been picked by Mitt Romney for his VP, within minutes, one of Obama’s stinging rebuttals had come out along with the news that Mitt had picked the man who they thought they could defeat.
Defeat with what? Hope and change? Obama gave us a lot of audacity, but his hope has brought the nation to its knees. Obama has proven, not only to the first “black” President, but the first Marxist President in America’s history. The first part we rejoiced at…the second part, left us in horror. 
Ryan isn’t promising the world, he is just promising us the hope that we can defeat Obama’s Marxist dreams. 
Charles Krauthammer said today that Paul could be the Reagan that takes us into the next century.
Ryan will slew Obama’s arguments with the straight truth. Like David slew Goliath. Saul said…”Go for it David.” And I have a feeling that Mitt is going to let this David out. 
I have great hope now, that Obama will not get another four years.
We have a very sick nation: It’s about time we kick out Nurse Obama and get our country’s soul back.
If you haven’t seen this video, (due to the fact that your in another country) then Nobody Thinks you should watch it. Paul Ryan is our Daniel Hannan.
Obama Chavez OR The Illusions From Obama’s Flickering Lips…
Nobody Remembers
Obama is out on the campaign trial talking about how Mitt Romney is going to send all the jobs overseas. He is trying to convince us, that he will NOW…get to work and create American jobs.
“I said, I believe in American workers, I believe in this American industry, and now the American auto industry has come roaring back,” he said. “Now I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.” (Translation: Obama still wants to get his buddies more solar and wind energy free money.)
“I don’t want those jobs taking root in places like China, I want those jobs taking root in places like Pueblo,” Obama told a crowd gathered for a campaign rally at the Palace of Agriculture at the Colorado State Fairgrounds here.”
Spoken like Hugo’s Chavez’s ugly brother. Right…The car industry has come roaring back alright…in CHINA!
That “pueblo” Obama is talking about is in Mexico…where Juan’s wife and his eight children are collecting Social Security.
Pay close attention to the doublespeak.
Let’s see just WHY the auto industry has come roaring back on your tax dollars. 
Obama gave more than $80 billion to prop up General Motors and Chrysler….and they took that money and put most of that money to create jobs in …Alabama? NO..in Mexico.
Chrysler has spent $550 million to retool it’s factory in Toluca to assemble the subcompact Fiat 500 model. GM has spent $3.67 billion in Mexico since November 2007. GM has closed five U.S. based assembly plants and there are more coming. And GM is now a company of China. It is working for the Communists and 70% of its manufacturing and research is now…in China.
That is NOT coming back…I don’t care what the Great and Wonderful ObamaOz says. Pull the curtain open.
Ford reopened an assembly plant in Cuautitlan to build Fiesta compacts. That factory will generate 2,000 jobs and it’s part of the $3 billion they are investing in Mexico. In the meantime Ford has closed four assembly plants since 2006 and have closed four more since then.
The US is losing 75 percent of the market. 
Stock dividends are not a good as a good old fashioned American paycheck. Without a paycheck you can’t BUY stocks now can you?
So what other “jobs” will Obama send to Mexico or China? He’s right when he says he has only just begun to create jobs. Now, any other industries that are left, will be moving to China.
I don’t know about you, but there aren’t many left….I can’t think of any….uh..
If you think that Obama can make ANY American manufacturing company build new companies here in America, when they can go to Mexico, China or India where the labor is cheap, …then I’ve got a luxury hotel in Cancun that I’ll sell you for a dollar.
But like he told the Russians:
“Just wait…I just have ONE MORE ELECTION…”
And then America will be fundamentally changed. 
Comrades….Remember, when you are Obama’s Cave, the shadows flickering on the wall from the fire of his lips…are not real.
Nobody’s Fool: John Lennon
Nobody’s Fool
Sitting with my friends at the pool today, the subject was who was better…Elvis or the Beatles. One lady, who was older than I, thought the Beatles were too sisified. Elvis was more masculine. Well…being raised with the Beatles, I loved the music, so I just smiled and agreed. It’s just her opinion…mine would be different. My brother has a theory that everyone loves the music they loved in high school, and I think he is right. He should know, he’s got his own D.J. company…but sorry…off the subject here. What I wanted to talk about is this: John Lennon was no fool. Sure, at the end, he was on Nixon’s list of dangerous people, and no doubt did too many drugs for one lifetime, but let’s face it…he fell head over heels madly in love with Yoko Ono, and she was the love of his life. So, whether we liked it or not, we had to listen to Yoko scream, and she did affect the way he approached the public after the Beatles. He made Yoko a star.
But he would have never even admitted that. (If you can’t see the video…go HERE.)
Yoko didn’t break up the Beatles. I think Paul got such a big head in the end, and was trying to make the Beatles “Paul’s” band, that the rest of them just got sick of it. You can see it all being played out in the film “Let It Be.” Yoko just became the scapegoat. If you have read many books, it was actually John’s genius who got the band up and running, and he was the leader for the ten years they worked in just clubs…and also was the main voice on all the beginning albums. Paul’s words at the induction of John Lennon to the Rock and Road Hall of Fame, were nothing short of..silly. He did not say ONE good thing about John’s talent…just how John had been there when they got to meet Elvis and the Supremes. I’m glad John didn’t hear it.
John was the heavier thinker of the group, and in the sixties, he was trying very hard to “give peace a chance.” Most conservatives think John was a big “lefty” but listen to the first five minutes of this. His thinking was much like our founding fathers…and I believe by the time he died, one of his friends said he did like Ronald Reagan, and was very much a conservative, and I believe him.
Sure…lying naked in bed was not exactly a great way to get people to think “Peace” but then again…John was just trying his best to bring, in his own way…sometthing good to the world. What else could he do? He was really, one of the most famous people in the world. At one time the Beatles actually WERE more popular than Jesus. John was right.
It was just a fact, and how they crucified him for it.
In my younger years I liked Paul, the “cute” Beatles, but now, I’m older and wiser. If I had a chance to talk to any of them…I would have ask to talk to John.
He really was…a genuis. (Okay, I’m a bit bias…but that’s just my Nobody Opinion. 🙂
Nobody’s Perfect: Obama VS NASA’s Curiosity
Nobody’s Perfect
They had no road to drive on, and a President who all but shut them down–but that didn’t stop this roomful of brilliant NASA scientists from dropping a nice sized car on the surface of Mars. They got there WITHOUT Obama’s help….and in spite of all the unpatriotic roadblocks.
They did it.
Last year, NASA was all but completely destroyed. There was a cut of 1.64 billion dollars. The Shuttles were retired as fast as they could truck them out. Frankly, because they didn’t replace the Shuttles, it was a day of devastating mourning for space lovers. It was getting painful for me to watch John Glenn begging Obama to not close NASA down on National TV.
John Glenn. An American hero…begging.
Not only did they close down the space program, but they also stopped all funding for the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s successor. The chickens’ hatched by Obama put all the Congress into a black hole of not caring one wit. Dead people needed to keep collecting their Social Security checks, but astronauts in space?
Who needs them?
We found out America was no longer going to send man into space. Noooo….we were just going to watch him on Earth with millions of spy drones, and camera’s, and satellites surveying his every move.
John Glenn could just go cry to someone else. Obama shut it all down. As a result of NASA’s closing—over 10,000 lost their jobs, and over 1,213 suppliers lost contracts. 
Obama was closing the space program down to just the robots. This from a Liberal site:
If NASA were de-funded, the private sector could begin to deliver services that are actually valuable to consumers, things NASA barely emphasizes, like employing robot satellites that gather information about the Earth to supply the high commercial demand for more accurate weather forecasts and geological assessments.
Leave it to the Liberals to make NASA into Al Gore’s Brown Shirts of global warming.
The President’s budget canceled joint U.S.-European robotic missions to Mars in 2016 and 2018.
But not this one: This one, was done…and was done—perfectly. The Curiosity mission costs $2.5 billion — almost $1 billion over budget.
Funny. That’s about what we send Pakistan every year.
This from one “participant.”
Schiff said he believes Mars was targeted for cuts because the administration thought there would be, at best, a muted reaction and little opposition. “They have been astounded by the fury of the pushback, and that is the only thing that has saved us so far.”
Who knows? Maybe Obama wasn’t expecting this mission to succeed. But that didn’t stop him for taking credit for it.
You didn’t hear it today, but a handful of us who were up late last night did. Only a few minutes after Curiosity had landed…two of Obama’s butt-boys came on the air.
“I want to thank MY boss, President Obama!” said the first one. The second one did the same…thanked Obama. All of a sudden, the joyous celebration in the room turned into Obama’s big success. THE BOSS.
Obama had done it all. He killed bin Laden with his bare hands. He single handedly put America back in the good graces of Muslims around the world, and without his guidance, Curiosity would have never landed on Mars.
Someone in his administration was smart enough to keep that off the TV’s today. But I wished they’d play it.
Obama had nothing to do with the success of this landing.
But, watch him soon…he WILL take credit for it.
As for the team at NASA…God Bless you all…Curiosity will pave the way for the first American man on the moon, and trust us..we all know who built that road, and it was no BO. God…I just LOVE this stuff! 
Should Obama Even…Golf?
Nobody’s Opinion
Obama was out playing golf yesterday…on his 51st birthday. But listen to this newscast. Look how they twist the facts…and leave out important notes.
First: Woodrow Wilson played 1,000 “rounds” of golf? That could mean only nine holes. And that was long before a whole city had to shut down just to allow the Presidential motorcade stop everyone’s day. Also, Woodrow Wilson and Eisenhower served two terms. But…did those guys take as many vacations as Obama has? Go to as many fundraisers? (Which I could imagine is really hard..wine and dine on the best food in the world, stay at the best hotels, etc, spent a gazillion dollars flying around on Air Force One.) And Obama plays a lot of basketball too. Obama has played ten times more than Bush did in his two terms of office. And yet, they act at CNN as if Obama has done NOTHING wrong..
Second: According to this tape, Mitt Romney…adds additions to his house instead of playing golf. OH…the HORROR!
Notice how insidious this is. Romney is “paying” people to “build” his homes, which is giving some construction workers some much-needed work. Romney is NOT the President of the United States, who is suppose to be putting his hours into running the country, which Obama is doing a piss poor job of. In fact, the only time he works is when he signs an executive order.
That’s it. That’s the only time he works as our President. And most of those “orders” border on treason.
Notice how they turn the President’s playing golf (wasting time while WE are paying him to do a job..to RELAX) while that rich Mitt Romney is just going around spending his OWN money. They talk about Mitt with malice and hatred for…THE RICH. Which they want you to think, Obama is not, so he deserves to play.
CNN is sucking up big time here, hoping you buy this “comparison.” Right. The Americans people are ‘suckers’ for letting this man rip us off as much as he does. He is suppose to be WORKING for us! Not having the time of his life vacationing every single chance he gets. And playing golf, IS a vacation. It’s not like he needs the exercise. 
President George W. Bush got caught on the golf course once and he was sort of a smart alec. (And they USED that video over and over again. ) He wisely gave it up, and took up bike riding! (LOL!) Which is cheaper.
Mr Bush later gave up golf, saying in a 2008 interview: “I don’t want to some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf… And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
Mr Obama’s Sunday golf game prompted anger in Poland, where the Warsaw Business Post carried a headline reading: “Obama goes golfing instead of attending Kaczynskis’ funeral”.
Obama was playing golf at Andrews Air Force Base on Saturday before heading to Camp David, the private presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin (kuh-TAHK’-tin) Mountains.
It’s easy to get hooked on golf…Mr. President. Better get as many “free” rounds in as you can.
Next year, you’ll be playing on your own.
Nobody Gets Email: Guns, and the Lack Thereof
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s two email that came in just about the same time last week, and in my Nobody’s Opinon, they are a perfect fit!
(Thanks to Pattie and Floyd)
THIS IS THE BEST WORDED PRO-GUN ARGUMENT THAT I HAVE EVER READ. (Says Pattie and she works for the Police in the crime lab)
As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago, IL, Gun Ban, I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society. Interesting take and one you don’t hear much… Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter…..
“The Gun Is Civilization” By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some. When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat – it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed.
People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.
When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation… And that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. This is worth printing and sharing with others!
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
