Want Total Freedom and No Responsibility? Be a Democrat!

Apparently, being a Democrat makes you immune to the Beer Bug. Who knew?

This immunity doesn’t seem to discriminate between the lefty-fascist “progressive” kind, the “conservative” or “libertarian” kind or the Republican-wannabe Establishment kind.

The DNC’s nominee for First Crook, Creepy Joe, is a prime example of the last kind.

From Kamala Harris’ Twitter feed — 8:20 AM ⋅ August 17, 2020

In that picture, it’s plainly obvious that this is a gathering of more than five [5] people, and that they do not appear to be practicing any “social distancing” protocols.

As the TV pitchmen say, “But wait, there’s more!

In this second picture, it’s plain to see that not only are they not “social distancing,” but they aren’t wearing the idiotic masks that they insist that the rest of us wear any time that we step outside of our homes.

H/T Joseph L. Roberts — Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at 8:01 AM

It seems like Eric July called it last month when he [sarcastically] said in a video clip that “the virus is woke” and able to tell what your politics are, and only infect those who aren’t lefty fascist types of the sort that are working for the DNC, its affiliates and candidates.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WJ9nsBPruA&w=560&h=315]

After all, when you’re a lefty fascist whackjob, you can get away with just about anything, as Larry Correia writes:

Larry Correia
Monday, August 17, 2020 at 2:59 PM

When a lone nut job maniac goes on a mass shooting, he represents all gun owners (even if his manifesto is all pro gun control). Even if he’s a raving left winger or has no coherent philosophy at all, he represents all republicans/Christians/white men/whatever group the left has a hate boner for this week. And the existence of this lone nut maniac irreparably taints half the population of America with guilt, even if they have nothing in common with him at all.

However, if somebody wearing a hoody and a ski mask, looting, burning shit, while chanting fuck the police and flying the hammer and sickle, gets caught on video beating someone with a baseball bat… HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THEY ARE ANTIFA?!? HE DOES NOT HAVE AN ANTIFA NAME TAG ON! WHERE IS HIS ANTIFA ID CARD? HOW DARE YOU SMEAR THESE INNOCENT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PEOPLE WITH THE ACTIONS OF A FEW BAD APPLES?!?

This may sound crazy, but just remember. If you are on the right you share collective guilt for every bad thing which has ever happened, even if it was done by people on the left. And if you are on the left, you are free from sin because you Care Harder.

On the individual level, if you are on the right, you are responsible for things that other people’s ancestors did 200 years ago. But if you are on the left, you aren’t responsible for what you are doing right now.

Also see this video clip, where the guy holding the gun on the woman in the car says (no way that I could have made this up) —

“I am not a cop, I will fucking shoot you. I’m a Democrat. I can shoot you because Democrats get away with everything.”

    Now that the Tea Party movement seems to be deceased and buried, the Cocktail Party is rising up.

    Maybe the Democrats should have nominated Mr Bill the Original Weldist instead of Creepy Joe?

  2. Posted to Facebook

    From the article —

    “Keller said other cities with the same initiative have seen violent crime reduce by 10%-30%. Keller said he expects to see results in 9-18 months.”

    9 – 18 months — that’s right when he plans on getting re-elected.

    “VOTE FOR TIMMY AND CRIME WILL GO AWAY” will be part of their ad copy, no?

    Because he’s done such a great job so far, right?

  3. Posted to Facebook

    I think that Mr. Biden very much DOES understand the Second Amendment and the individual, civil, human right to own and carry weapons (including but NOT limited to firearms) for defense of self, others and community.

    That is why he and others are so hot to trot on eliminating that right, by hook or crook or any means necessary.

    “(She) has kept among us, in times of peace, (her Gestapo State Police) without the consent of our legislature.”

    The current infestors of the Roundhouse (at least the Demoncrap ones) are complicit with her deployment of the Super Pigs against the citizenry. They had a chance about two months ago to pull the plug on the Midget Loony Grifter, and refused to do so.
