   Since when is photography or cake decoration considered a right granted by law?

   “Personally, I believe the 1st Amndt admonition that ‘…pass no law respecting an establishment of religion…’ should apply not only to the Congress or any other legislative body, but to the individual as well. You may not write for yourself a set of laws that differ from published statutes, no matter what you believe your particular cult’s idol says.”

   Why bother having any sort of Bill of Rights that limits the powers of government at all, then?

   Logically, then you should be supportive of me open-carrying my M4gery into a restaurant with a “NO GUNS ALLOWED” sign displayed on the front window, unless you’re a buffet Constitutionalist, as that sign discriminates against me as a gun owner, limiting my rights under the First, Second, and Ninth Amendments.

   (SIDE NOTE: Those who say that I’m “good on the Second Amendment, but not much else” are cordially invited to go fuck themselves, and each other.)

   Knives in the wrong hands have all been used to kill people for 5,000 years. Should restaurants post “NO KNIVES ALLOWED” signs in their front windows?

   The 2nd Amendment doesn’t address specific types of weapons, for good reason.

   What’s interesting is that the hoplophobes and victim disarmers will tell you to use non-lethal weapons, yet in places where they hold sway over the political process, civilian possession of non-lethal weapons is also limited by governmental dictat:

   There is no real Wil Wheaton, there’s only Wesley’s alter ego.

    Except that the actor who played Jar Jar (Ahmed Best) isn’t a whiny bitch-boi like “Wheaton.”

    From the blog post linked to at the top (second paragraph, first sentence):

    “Before I get into the Wesley part of this that you’re all here for:”

    Without “Shut up, Wesley,” what would keep him from having to stand on a street corner with a cardboard sign?

    And he knows it, too.

    Go cautiously and armed amidst the Black Lives Matter demonstrations and riots and remember, whitey, that although their lives matter, yours does not.

    There are people with whom you cannot get along without surrendering your soul. Insofar as possible, bury them where the bodies will never be found.

    In these days, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act; shout it from the rooftops. If it sends SJWs into apoplexy or cardiac arrest, or makes their heads explode, so much the better, since that will stop their continuous and inevitable lies, and nothing else will.

    Avoid large conglomerations of people carrying banners and shouting slogans. Do not take to heart their exhortations and entreaties, for they are fucking lunatics.

    Never apologize for anything.

    Do not bother keeping a close eye on the stock market, the unemployment reports, NASDAQ, or crime figures. These are lies and frauds, start to finish. Keep careful watch, however, of your neighbors, marking down all those you believe you can trust when the fecal matter hits the rotary impeller.

    Aim with care.

    Do not fire warning shots, for this shortens the time between “fire” and “reload.” The dead cannot testify in court; the wounded may only be feigning death. Hence, double tap always and be careful to finish off the wounded.

    Old age and treachery will always beat youth and ignorance. Never surrender without a fight. Do not go too easily on yourself, either, for the world is waiting in ambush.

    You have nearly no natural rights. Anyone who tells you that you do is peddling vacuum. One right you do have is the right to try to use violence and hard work in your own behalf. Nothing guarantees you success.

    If you have turned your back on God, don’t expect him not to turn His back on you. He’s loving, generous, patient, and kind, but modern man and woman has pretty much worn those qualities to a frazzle.

    The shams, drudgeries, frauds, and stolen dreams have worn the world out as much as they have God’s patience. Civilization is collapsing. You can give up or you can fight. You will be happier if you fight.
