Blast from the Past – 2nd Amendment and the Kool-aid Drinkers by Paul Howe

This article by Special Operations Veteran Paul Howe was originally published on the Wilson Combat Blog on January 3rd, 2013. Although slight details may hvae changed over time, the basic premise remains vaid.

The reality is that those who wish to oppress don’t have the guns or the numbers to threaten America’s liberty and that’s because America’s citizens are armed. The real threat isn’t a full frontal assault on our Constitutional rights, it’s the death by a thousand cuts that we suffer as Congress whittles away at them little by little. By wary of “reasonable” laws that amount to baby steps toward the total erosion of the Bill of Rights. Stay engaged. Be a trained, responsible gun owner and let your elected representation know how you feel, not only on this issue, but other Constitutional issues as well.

Vote local and act local. They aren’t going to stop.

Regardless, no matter what laws they pass (or repeal) your rights aren’t guaranteed by a piece paper; they were endowed by your creator.

2nd Amendment and the Kool-aid Drinkers
by
Paul Howe

I have quietly watched and evaluated the in pouring of e-mails reference the liberal’s intent to seize guns and crush the second amendment. I want to add a few of my own thoughts on this issue as I have worked in and around all the people who could be tasked to seize your guns.

WHO’S COMING TO GET THEM?

United Nations (UN)
We are the UN. Other countries mostly join the U.N. to secure money, funding and training and few have any offensive combat capability. Most serve as guards at static locations and have no will to fight. America is the enforcement arm of the U.N. We have the money, equipment, personnel and lift platforms to get the job done.

If the president ever let the U.N. in this country, it would be a foreign invasion and armed Americans would stand up and crush them in a day. Our government would break down and the president would be ousted for letting foreign militaries invade our country.

Federal Government Military
Having served over 20 years in our military, I know that most soldiers would refuse the order to take part in the confiscation of weapons. First, the president would have to give the order, which is an “Illegal Order” in violation of the constitution. I don’t believe that service members would go back into the communities that raised them and conduct raids on good Americans in violation of the constitution.

Remember, these forces would have to come from a military base that is surrounded and supported by American communities. Civilians would simply cease to support the bases and they would fold in a short time. Cut of the fuel, food, electricity on bases and this would stop the silliness. Also, many, many service members live in the communities and they would have to travel from their houses to base unless they were locked down. In that case, their families would still be in the community and people would not be too friendly to those supporting these actions.

Federal Government DHS or TSA
The Federal government is not large enough or talented enough to seize guns. If they were to do 5-8 raids a day seizing guns, they would be physically and mentally exhausted and need a break. Physically conducting raids is exhausting. After the first few raids, the word would get out and Americans would start to fight back. It would take one good ambush from a house or along a travel route to decimate a tactical force or make it combat ineffective.

Next, most Federal Agencies work out of a fixed location centrally located in a community. Also, their personnel live in those communities along with their families. Once the word got out that they were doing raids in violation to the constitution, they and their families would be at risk. If they were to start raiding houses, kicking in doors and breaking in windows looking for legally owned guns, their homes would be subject to the same treatment by Americans rising up to defend themselves. They would shortly find themselves without a place to live.

State Law Enforcement
The Governor would have to order State and Local Law Enforcement to either:
Seize guns
Ignore the Federal Orders

If they ignore the Federal Orders, things would be tense, but people would be civil. If they started to seize guns, they only have limited people and assets to do this. Much the same consequences would take place as with the Federal Government.

Local Law Enforcement
Local Police and Sheriff Departments are the backbone of who protects American Citizens. A Sheriff or Chief of Police would have to give the order for his people to begin to seize weapons. Their people would either comply or see it as an illegal order and refuse.

Remember, Chiefs and Sheriff’s also have to live and work in the same communities they serve. As I described with the Federal Government, local Tactical Teams could probably only do 8-10 hits in a day and then need a break. So they hit ten houses and seize their guns, the word would get out and now they are subject to living in the same community as those they are attacking. It would not go well. Also, after one or two determined Americans or combat vets fought back, the team would lose many to death or injury and they would have made a decision whether to continue to push the fight. Remember also, they have to sleep sometime. Their homes and families would be at risk. It is an ugly scenario at best.

Nation of Combat Veterans and Patriots
Having been at war for over 10 years, we have a nation of combat vets and contractors that have seen more action than many of our WWII vets. It has been said that only a small percentage of Americans stood up to the British War machine in the Revolutionary War. Americans are better armed and trained today than at any time in our nation’s history. Think about what would happen if just our nation’s veterans stood up. People have been buying more guns and ammunition in the past five years than any time in my life. The guns and ammunition are out there along with the talent to use them.

Kool-Aid Drinkers
Kool-Aid Drinkers is the term I use to describe the Jonestown voluntarily massacre where the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, a dedicated community western Guyana by the Peoples Temple led by cult leader Jim Jones intentionally drank poison Kool-Aid. Over 900 people died.
In every law enforcement, government and military agency or branch, there are a small number of Kool-Aid drinkers who would blindly follow orders. They would either be purged internally by their co-workers or people they attacked would stop their gene pool.

Also, at the police tactical team level, all members “volunteer” for the job and they can have the individual integrity to terminate their team service at any time if their profession becomes corrupt or misguided. I know many a good officer that has done that in the past.

Finally, there would be a certain number of American Kool-Aid drinkers that would turn in their weapons if asked. I believe it would be a small percentage as there are always those that do not have the will to resist or fight and they are not needed should thing get tough.

History of “Gun-Free Zones”
Our nation’s history is filled with examples of “gun-free” zones failed.
The Aurora Colorado movie massacre and the recent Connecticut shooting are two that come to mind. Also, remember the Fort Hood massacre where an Islamic extremist Major Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 soldiers because our military bases are gun free zones. Combat trained soldiers had to be rescued by a security guard. That is embarrassing.

Evil came to all of these places and everyone was disarmed and not ready to fight back because they were gun free zones.

Think what would happen at a national level if the American people were disarmed. Another evil would come along either from inside our country or outside of it and resulting in our downfall.

How about others in recent history:
-In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
-China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated
-Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

Solutions
Write your state representatives and let them know how you feel about this issue. I would like to think that most states would refuse the order.

Next, at the local level, talk to your Sheriff or Chief of Police and ask them if they would allow or support the federal government in their confiscation of firearms. Put them on the spot now and hold them accountable. I like to think that most states would refuse the order.

Should firearm confiscation begin, solutions are simple. If they cannot live in a community, they cannot work in a community. If their house goes away while they are at work confiscating guns, so be it. Allow them to leave with their family and what possessions they can pack in their car. Point them to California and let them know all the Hollywood types would be happy to financially support them in the fantasy land they wish to live in and that they are not welcome in Free America.

In the end I believe that guns are the glue that hold our country together. Guns keep the government in check and the individual American safe and free. Remove guns and the government will no longer be controlled by the people. The government will control the people.

Finally, it is claimed that the Battles of Lexington and Concord, in 1775 were started because General Gage attempted to carry out an order by the British government to disarm the population resulting in the “Shot heard round the world.”

    Why did Soldier Systems give a platform to Paul Howe? I quit looking at his website a long time ago because of his strongly racist tendencies. Did they not have anyone better?

    • SSD says:

      That’s news to me. What did he say that leads you to label him as a racist?

      • Something witty says:

        “Racist” is an antiwhite slur. In-group preference is natural and must be pathologized in order to break down your ability to form solidarity with those you’d likely have the greatest amount of affinity for. Don’t give antiwhites the recognition of their slurs

    • x marks the spot says:

      Does his possible tendencies make what he’s saying somehow false?

    • Rou says:

      Racist??? Everything is racist to a Karen. Don’t be a Karen

    “The supreme commander is he who defeats his enemy without ever joining him in battle” – Sun Tzu, the Art of War

    This article has been made obsolete by the events of the last 12 months. What good does a gun do you as an individual American if you can’t speak the truth? Have a job if you express viewpoints that go against the dominant world view? Worship your God in public? Stop the colonization of your country and community by ten’s of millions of foreigners, who are mostly illiterate in their own language, and whom the tax payer has to financially support?

    The 2nd Amendment is the expression of the God-given, natural, right to individual and collective self-defense of one’s family, community, and Nation. Over the last 12 months, America has undergone a a scamdemic, where 99.1% of those infected with Covid-19 fully recover, which was used to deprive American’s of constitutional rights through irrational and scientifically proven ineffective non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI), like masks and lockdowns; that put the country into an economic quagmire for a virus that only is really a threat to the obese and those over 70 years of age. We endured Marxist inspired terror riots predicated on a lie that America was systemically racist, while the Democrat Party affiliated militia groups, Antifa and BLM, burned down half the Country, and nothing was done to stop it except wage a 21st Century American version of Mao’s Cultural Revolution against the symbols and traditions of America. Our police, government, religious institutions, and military either did nothing in the face of this onslaught or condoned it. Fast forward to what a mountain of mounting evidence indicates was a stolen 2020 presidential election (stolen primarily through ballot harvesting of the mail-in ballots that were allowed due to the pandemic), which allowed the senile puppet regime of Joe Biden to assume the mask of the presidency in lieu of the Marxist cabal that is actually making decisions; and as we stand right now America hangs on the precipice of self implosion and subjugation by the senile, corrupt puppet regime’s Chinese Communist masters in Beijing or home grown totalitarian dictatorship.

    You can keep your guns. The enemy has already won. Most Americans are groveling for handouts afraid to go outside, while a Marxist dictatorship rounds up veterans and patriots for political crimes, Mexican drug cartels ethically cleanse the country and sell Heroin to our children, the military and intelligence services are more concerned about non-existent “white
    supremacists” and putting pregnant women in combat than protecting the American People from the Democrat Marxist dictatorship, the Global Jihad,
    or the ChiCom masters; and most people on the 2nd Amendment side are grifters, posers, or LARPers.

    As Max Morton recently wrote, “Right now, we are 80 million couch potatoes and keyboard warriors with rifles in our bedroom closets. This is not a force to be reckoned with.” https://amgreatness.com/2021/03/16/until-lambs-become-lions/

    • Yawnz says:

      I find it awfully ironic that the first people to bring up the “we’re not doing anything” line likewise do nothing.

      “Most Americans are groveling for handouts afraid to go outside”

      Gross exaggeration.

      “while a Marxist dictatorship rounds up veterans and patriots for political crimes”

      And most of those being “rounded up” are subsequently released due to a lack of evidence of a crime. Again, gross exaggeration.

      “Mexican drug cartels ethically cleanse the country and sell Heroin to our children”

      lolwut? Sounds like you need to discipline your kids more.

      “the military and intelligence services are more concerned about non-existent “white supremacists” and putting pregnant women in combat”

      Another gross exaggeration. Someone pitching the idea of maternity flight suits does not equate to “putting pregnant women in combat” and the whole “white supremacist” line is just another PowerPoint brief that has been circulating through the military for decades. Nothing has happened and nothing ever likely will. Do you know why? Civilian leaders don’t have the stones and military leaders are too old and apathetic.

      “”most people on the 2nd Amendment side are grifters, posers, or LARPers.”

      Sounds like a whole lot of projection there.

      If we weren’t a force to be reckoned with, then why hasn’t the reckoning come yet? I distincitly remember there being gun confiscation language in firearm laws enacted post-Sandy Hook in both New York and Connecticut. How many Federal agents and black helicopters swooped in and snatched up people and their guns from their homes? Zero, nadda, a big ol’ goose egg.

  4. Sasquatch says:

    Why did he list DHS and TSA, specifically? I was under the impression any gun grabbing would be lead by DOJ/ATF?

    I just found that call out strange. But I agree with all the points he made.

    • Aye says:

      You can’t think of any reason?

      • Sasquatch says:

        You think TSA is going to be going door to door?

        • Yawnz says:

          Why are you acting as if the specific mentions are relevant?

          • Sasquatch says:

            Just wondering why mention them, if they aren’t needed. As in, I’m fine with his classification and his take on Federal Government. But then the author (not me) specifically mentions both DHS and (of all things) TSA, and I’m wondering why. Like, I am genuinely wondering why. Maybe I missed a talking point where there were discussions to turn TSA into a gun confiscation group. But if so, I missed it. And I was just hoping someone could shed light on it for me.

            So far though, no response has. Feel free to keep that trend going though, if you feel so inclined.

            • Jeb says:

              TSA does not confiscated guns per se…but just like knives that weren’t properly secured in non carry on baggage, you must make a choice if you want to board your plane or not. Have firearms been voluntarily surrendered at TSA checkpoints in various airports? Yes. Same as knives. I know what happens to the knives but I never inquired about what becomes of firearms…so I’ll do that tonight.

  5. Easy E says:

    I think Mr. Howe makes some good points. However, I do not agree with all that he wrote. For example:
    “Having served over 20 years in our military, I know that most soldiers would refuse the order to take part in the confiscation of weapons. First, the president would have to give the order, which is an “Illegal Order” in violation of the constitution.”

    I do not agree with his assessment. I think that most (as I define it: a simple majority) would follow orders. Now I don’t believe we’re on the cusp of activating National Guard units for this purpose; it’s clear the strategy is to chip away at ownership, and to create a registry or de facto registry.

    How many areas have seen bans for standard capacity magazines for firearms? How many have seen bans on buying certain firearms, most of which are arbitrary? How many require licenses to buy certain firearms, beyond even that of the (in my opinion) unconstitutional NFA? Point being, the strategy that the 2A community faces isn’t one of calling on “the military” to round-up “all the guns,” it’s to chip away at ownership.

    As for attacks on Mr. Howe as a racist (he addressed such claims here:
    https://www.combatshootingandtactics.com/post/july-training-update), I think it’s clear he is not a racist. In some ways it’s fortunate that the attacks on people, calling them racist, doesn’t seem to carry the same weight since the supply of racism seems to far exceed the supply; racism seems to largely be falling the way-side, with more and more people actually judging people by the content of their character.

  6. Will Rodriguez says:

    While I agree with his observations about most troops and local police, there are huge errors here when it comes to the COE.

    There are P L E N T Y of senior officers and NCO’s that have compromised their oaths. Look at the comments by the CSA reference the former President’s speech at St. John’s? The current Sec Def is fueling a crusade against a vague extremist threat that specifically avoids the extremism we’ve been subjected to over months of rioting before the election. Much of the same applies to Police at the senior levels especially in large urban areas. Will the rank and file follow? I hope not but it’s not a given they won’t especially in a climate where they don’t get both sides of the story.

    I also don’t see the active component being employed unless there is general and severe unrest. The Guard is much more likely to be tasked and not the local Guard but the Guard from another state. If I was planning and op that Guard would come from a politically reliable state/region. I would also use federal resources from outside the local community to avoid blowback. Notice the Feds sent to Seattle weren’t from Seattle?

    I could go on but my point is the patriot response is not so clear cut. The analysis also does not address how our adversaries would take advantage of the unrest and how that would galvanize Americans against that threat putting the internal situation out of the spotlight (which doesn’t mean the feds would stop).

    The analysis also doesn’t address the narrative that will be manufactured and how the first armed resistance will be portrayed. Did you se what the media did reference the DC “insurrection”.

    No doubt confiscation would lead to bloodshed but there are a thousand cuts coming before that. Those thousand cuts will have an impact and that isn’t being addressed.

    I’m not all gloom and doom. I just disagree with how the common wisdom of how this proceeds is way off.

  7. James says:

    Don’t really have to confiscate anything, no widespread mass raids( those will be carefully chosen to paint a picture), no special units, no violent uprising to stop it. Just keep telling the story to generation after generation with no real counter-narrative, in thirty years your grandkids will be turning in your guns when you die, and cops won’t think twice about arresting someone at a traffic stop for possession. Think not? Try doing some NSR’s on public land anywhere near people, see how fast you get a visit from county or state because someone called in “full auto gunfire”….

  8. Lysol says:

    First off, I would like to say thank you for your service. For those who do not know who Pail Howe is should do some research. I would also like to state that I am a strong supporter of the second amendment. If any of what I said is taken out of context I’m sure I’ll have a lot of sour faces. I do believe I think it’s safe to say that the vast majority who visit this page are second amendment supporters.
    If I may offer a different perspective and observation. I live in a liberal educated city. Most everyone I talk to isn’t necessarily against guns entirely, but oppose assault weapons and high capacity Mags, or some form of regulation. That being said, I feel that there are generally 3 sects of people when it comes to firearms.
    1. Supporters of the second amendment
    2. Opposers of the second amendment
    3. Everyone else/ in the middle – a majority of Americans
    Every time there is a mass shooting, more and more from the 3rd group float to the 1st. Another way is if they read or see a bunch of us acting a fool, or try to scare people into believing what we believe. Educated people where I live poke holes through this kind of mentality. I used to engage people with this kind of logic when I got back home from service and would get pushed back with things like:

    -I can’t help but realize you only listed communist, fascist, and dictatorships that used gun control to exterminate… Democracies such as Britain, Australia, and most recently New Zealand banned firearms with great success.
    -to say that if Jewish population had firearms, even though they are generally a non violent culture, that the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened? Or that if there wasn’t gun control that 52 million deaths would be prevented?
    -if any law enforcement agency, weather it would be local or federal start taking guns, as they are ordered to do, are you suggesting we attack them in their family? Keeping in mind the law enforcement community collectively is probably the single largest employer of veterans in this country? Attack your brothers and sisters in arms?
    -“shall not be infringed” are you suggesting that violent criminals, gang members, serious mental illness, or pedophiles should have guns?

    And to be honest, it’s hard to argue some of these points.

    Again, everyone who reads this is on our side already, but I think that if we educate ourselves and try to educate that 3rd group about responsible gun ownership, and the importance of the second amendment as a fail safe from government overreach, or how gun free zones make are easy targets for those who wish to do us harm, and not from IS who would protect out countrymen, we could get more people on our side. The proverbial attract more bees with sugar than vinegar.

    Take away their Kool aid, offer a beer.

    • Rodney says:

      ‘if any law enforcement agency, weather it would be local or federal start taking guns, as they are ordered to do, are you suggesting we attack them in their family?’

      Yes.

    • Easy E says:

      NZ’s “ban” saw widespread noncompliance. It’s not a success. The media, who are purposely being dishonest, have turned to citing the number of firearms surrendered instead of citing the types of firearms targeted.

      https://reason.com/2019/07/08/noncompliance-kneecaps-new-zealands-gun-control-scheme/

      Is it easier to control an armed group or unarmed group? Firearms aren’t a magic cure to a tyrannical group or government — being disarmed is absolutely not a better option.

      Your transition from pointing to the horrors of the Holocaust, with the Jews being disarmed, and then follow it up with a point about letting the government here simply choose to disarm people (ostensibly after passing some law) is not really a good flow for that position.

      Not everyone who reads this is on “our side.” The 2A community doesn’t have to be toxic or harsh — but they also don’t have to pretend that things (NZ ban, the Holocaust, reacting to a government actively taking guns away simply because) means, well, anything other than people should be more firm about their 2A rights.

      One of the greatest lies within this debate, seen at the national level, is of compromise. What are citizens (not just gun owners) getting with further 2A restrictions? Nothing. I don’t want to install a breathalyzer in my car — that doesn’t mean I want people driving drunk. Understand that this anto-gun legislation is not meant to be a compromise or fix anything: it’s simply to chip away at ownership, burden law-abiding citizens, and strip you of your rights.

  9. Rodney says:

    I’ve said it here before. The ATF has no credibility and is not welcome in North Idaho.

  10. Bob says:

    What kind of coward threatens women and children?

    • Reality says:

      You think they won’t kill a few women and children during their raids? Apparently you’ve never heard of Ruby Ridge or Mt Carmel, Texas.

      If despots are willing to attack citizens to disarm them and force their will upon them, they must prepare for total war. If their heart isn’t in it, they best stay at home.

      • Lysol says:

        Or they have a job… with mouths to feed and bills to pay…
        Again, these are law enforcement, a lot of them veterans. They’re mostly on your side anyway. They don’t want to take your shit, but they also have responsibilities to there families. Don’t we support law enforcement here? Am I missing something?
        And I’m sure since you cited a few instances where that did happen, I didn’t see any of their neighbors coming to their aid and pushing the feds back. The FBI and ATF was a like “oh these guys mean business, let’s leave them alone!”

        There’s a smart way and a dumb way.

        • Reality says:

          The Nuremberg defense? They are just doing their jobs? History shows that doesn’t work.

          Did people come to the aid of others in those early examples? Yes. Crowds gathered at both locations making things tough for federal LE to continue their efforts. In the case of Waco, the government held the crowd quite a ways off and the result was the slaughter of over 80 men, women and children at the direction of Bill Clinton. The retaliation was the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City two years later. That act of terror killed 168 people including 19 children.

          More recently armed citizens came to the aid of the Bundy family and held off federal forces.

          Our country just spent a summer witnessing billions of dollars in damage as citizens committing arson, looting and even murder in retaliation for just a few deaths at the hands of police.

          You actually think that an attempt by the government to deny citizens their basic civil rights won’t be met with extreme violence?

  11. Lysol says:

    Sorry, I was not clear white what my point was. Yes protesters showed up for Ruby Ridge and Waco, but they didn’t ATTACK fed law enforcement. When push comes to shove, not many people are willing to have a brawl.
    I’m surprised you mentioned the OC bombing to prove a point… like it was a good thing. He killed 168 inarmed people including 19 children who had nothing to do with those incidents. Those in Waco chose to say, not to down play the tragedy. In addition, he accomplished nothing but destroy the families who lost someone.

    I’m not on that side… killing innocent people to prove a point? Attacking families? There’s no honor in that.

    • mike says:

      “I’m not on that side… killing innocent people to prove a point? Attacking families? There’s no honor in that.”

      Sounds like a fair summation of Ruby Ridge, Waco, and OKC bombing all in one.

    • Reality says:

      So far you’ve offered the Nuremberg defense for the perpetrators and now blamed the victims for being burned alive. Pretty reprehensible. You’re making a pretty good case for retaliation by those who’ve been wronged.

      As for mentioning the OKC bombing, I referred to it as an act of terror. It wasn’t a good thing. It was an asymmetric response to the murders of Americans at the hand of the federal government. Actions have consequences.

      Maybe despots shouldn’t be so willing to murder Americans, lest they themselves get murdered and that’s the point of Howe’s writing. You might want to go take a look at revolutions that have occurred in the past. The inhumanity that ensues in the name of obtaining liberty is insane. There were things done here in the US in order to create this nation that are far from honorable, but were deemed necessary at the time.

      • Lysol says:

        Kind of missed the point I was making. Not on the side of the feds by a long shot.
        I know the point Paul Howe was trying to make. Only point I was trying to make was that talking like that doesn’t get many people on the 2a side.
        I swayed a lot of people by taking them to the range and educating them on the importance of the 2a as opposed to scare them.

  12. Joe R. says:

    IMHO – First order of business (albeit late) is to remind the m f r s [yes, that’s confirmed, their mommas can’t keep a secret] that (in the U.S.) that they are merely a grouping of our idiot ay-whole neighbors who needed a job (our “gov’t”), and the entities outside of the U.S. are our enemies, and have no say.

    Second order of business is to demand that those idiot ay-whole neighbors annually declare, in writing, that 1) they don’t “govern” the citizenry (as a group of people not self-governed are un-governable otherwise), they merely govern the machinations of “government” and they counter the other idiot ay-whole neighbors who our other idiot ay-whole neighbors elected to government; and 2) that they can not, and do not, protect anyone on an individual level, not even themselves, as that is impossible. Get Steve Scalise to ‘splain it to them if need be [Steve seems to be a good and smart man, and it is horrific what happened to him, and the DNC and Bernie Sanders should have to legally answer for what happened to him]. Once that’s made a ‘general understanding’ then anyone’s claims that they are doing anything as such “protection”, should result in them receiving a 3-day wet flip-flop beating, until their understanding reaches the point of the aforementioned general understanding. And if they are not doing it for “protection” then they are doing it for tyranny, and they should get the wet flip-flop until JESUS comes back.

    Third order of business is to remind our idiot ay-whole neighbors who needed a job, that, per 2 x in the flesh language 2nd Paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, it is our “duty” to replace them “whenever” we deem necessary, and that our Founders could not have written that, but yet still wanted us to have to ask those idiots (who needed replacing) for the means, or the permission to obtain the means to do so. Simple logic.

    You don’t have to agree with me but, if not, make sure your mouth guard is big enough to cover your glutes.
