Bad Guys 101: Intentional Weakness

http://munchkinwrangler.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/the-ethics-of-going-armed/

...while I believe that most people are decent and good, I know–without the shadow of a doubt–that some people aren’t. And here’s the thing about those that aren’t: they are not good to a degree that most of my liberal friends who dislike guns and write off armed people as paranoid hicks can’t comprehend. We’re not talking about “swiping the cash box from girl scouts” bad. Some people have decided to abandon the social contract so entirely that you are not a real person to them. You’re just the thing they need to get rid of to get at the wallet and the car keys in your pocket, like a wrapper around a candy bar that needs to be ripped off and discarded before you can get to the nougat. (My former mother-in-law was one of those people who were aghast at the notion of someone arming themselves for self-defense. When I asked her what her plan was if she ever get mugged, she said, “Reason with them. Everyone wants to be respected.”) Well, some people don’t care about reasoning with you because you’re not a person to them. They don’t give a shit about being respected, at least not in the way you understand the word. You’re a food animal. All they care about is the thing they want from you–your wallet, your car, your body, whatever–and they want it now and with the least amount of fuss. And if they feel that the transaction is taking too long, puts them at risk in any way, they have no compunction about hurting you badly or killing you on the spot. This is not paranoid hyperbole, or some sort of effort to dehumanize muggers and rapists. It’s observed reality, and if you doubt that, all you have to do is to open the “Crime” section of any newspaper. (Better yet, talk to a beat cop.)...

Jews vs. Muslims

I have always been a fan of the nation of Israel. Despite the continued anti-Israel spin of the MSM, I understand they are in a unique position vis-a-vi the Muslim countries of the Middle East and the New Holocaust planned by Iran.

IMO they have the human right to pre-emptively attack the Iranian nuclear weapons' labs, bunkers, storage areas, scientists and launch areas. The Iranians have made it clear over and over again they mean to destroy Israel.

I STAND BY ISRAEL.
