The more they shout and point….
There are a couple bits of interesting news that have come up in the past week or two.
For starters, that impromptu gun ban by the mayor of the village of Deerfield, IL, back in May was overturned before it went into effect, when two separate lawsuits were filed to stop it.
https://patch.com/illinois/deerfield/judge-blocks-deerfield-assault-weapons-ban-it-takes-effect
Per the attached article: Associate Judge Luis Berrones found that Deerfield’s 2018 ordinance was unenforceable, that it was not an amendment of the village’s previous ordinance regulating assault-style firearms and that – contrary to the village’s repeated claims – its recent ban does not ban large-capacity magazines.
“We moved swiftly to challenge this gun ban because it flew in the face of state law. The village tried to disguise its extremism as an amendment to an existing ordinance. The ordinance bans possession of legally-owned semi-auto firearms, with no exception for guns previously owned, or any provision for self-defense,” said Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb, in a release. “Worse, still, the ordinance also provided for confiscation and destruction of such firearms and their original capacity magazines. It was outrageous that the ban would levy fines of up to $1,000 a day against anyone who refused to turn in their gun and magazines or move them out of the village. This certainly puts the lie to claims by anti-gunners that ‘nobody is coming to take your guns.”
There is recourse for gun owners with pre-emptive strikes like this. And we do have to remember that Illinois has probably the most restrictive gun laws in the entire country, but they also have a self-defense section, including self-defense in home invasions, that allow gun owners to defend themselves without repercussions. Furthermore, anyone with a brain could argue correctly that there is no specific definition for “assault-style weapons”, particularly when everything in my house can be used that way, including my flagpole and the keys to the front door, and that alone makes the ban invalid. “Assault-style weapons” is incorrectly and constantly used by ignorant, self-serving twits. Them’s fightin’ words. They should be taken down a peg or three for it.
I’m quite sure that all these politicians who want weapons out of the hands of private citizens have some absurd fantasy that someone wants to shoot them, even if they deny it. Unfortunately for their delusional fantasies, there is not one politician on the planet, including an ex-president and a prior political candidate, who is worth the cost of a single bullet.
The other event, which you may have heard about, was that Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, was told by the owner of the Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, VA, to take her family and leave. The owner’s political opinions of people seem to carry more weight than running a profitable business. So Ms. Sanders and her party left.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/live-white-house-briefing-june-25-2018-live-stream/
A savvy business owner would welcome the party and give them good service, but not this restaurant owner. She was “concerned” about the effect on her employees. Baloney.
There is an unfortunate side effect to this nonsense. The owner of the Lexington, VA, Red Hen Restaurant apparently thought her restaurant name was unique. Again, this clearly demonstrates the ‘me first and me only!’ mind of the left side of the fence, because other Red Hen restaurants have been getting enormous flack for the Virginia Red Hen owner’s rudeness to a customer. One of them is in New Jersey.

The other is in Collingwood, Ontario – yes, in Canada. Apparently, some people think Canada is in Virginia. (If these links don’t work, just copy them to a search block.)
Shades of the 1950s and the Deep South!
I have a long memory that allows me to recall when black people were told they could order food but not eat it in a restaurant, had to use “colored people” restrooms and water fountains, and were not allowed to vote. Does this mean we’re going to have another “Mississippi Burning”? If this isn’t a throwback to those days, then what is it?
The so-called liberals are about as liberal as a locked door. They haven’t changed at all, not in over 85++ years, and frankly, with their ridiculous notions about guns and their colossal (and growing) social moron behavior, I don’t think they will.They’ll wake up some day, find out that they’ve turned 45, and they aren’t “cute” any more.
These are only two fine examples of the sheer stupidity and ignorance that inhabit the leftred side of the political fence. I’m sure there are more, such as that fat checker from Hahvahd who had to quit her media job because she insulted a disabled veteran for no valid reason. Her level of pure ignorance backfired on her. I know that there are many, many more, such as the antifas being unwilling to face down anyone unless it’s twelve of them ganging up on an old lady – something like that.
It’s like the ignorance about the solar cross: American Indian tribes used that in pictographs for many centuries, long, long before the Nazis under Hitler stole it and used it as a symbolic threat. There were many versions of it, including the cross in a circle and the broken circle. It bears zero resemblance to the Maltese cross on that vet’s left arm. https://www.warpaths2peacepipes.com/native-american-symbols/cross-circle-symbol.htm
These generational social morons have no manners. They can barely read and write and do simple arithmetic. Their knowledge of anything from the past is minimal, and comics are literature. They think their half-baked opinions are golden, but don’t realize that it’s fool’s gold instead.
They think there are no consequences to anything they say or do.
They should keep this stupidity going for as long as possible, and make it as public as possible. And they should continue to be as loud and obnoxious abut it as they can.
We need to know who they are and how empty-headed they are, so that we can persuade those currently on the middle of the fence to lean to the righthand side in the voting season, and approach it in a reasonable way.

Governor Huckabee says that the Red Hen owner followed his daughter’s family across the street and harassed them at another restaurant.
Thanks for adding that!
Saw that as well and you beat me to it. So she goes from being just a sanctimonious ass to being a stalker, harasser, and sanctimonious ass.
LIBERALS are a lot like Seagulls. They flock someplace, make a bunch of noise while shitting all over everything in sight and then leave.
ahmmma steal that analogy…thnx
It really would be helpful if places would put up signs such as, “This is an anti-Trump zone” or “We do not support the 2nd Amendment” or “If we think you are a Republican, we will snot in your food.” I am sure these things would help.
2/17 Air Cav, reference your comments, it has already started:

Sabo is just helping the dems recognize the actual modern Nazis.
That’s funny. I’m quite sure he doesn’t realize that the Nazis would have dragged the vRen Hen owner and staff out, clubbed them, and whisked them away. Then, the business would be torched and the families of the staff questioned at length. This likening of conservatives to Nazis’ and fascists is a laugh riot.
I got into an argument with a leftist over the whole republicans/Conservatives are Nazis/Fascists thing. I asked him if Republicans used the pwoer of the state to go after the opposition and silence dissent and passing legislation to strip citizens of their rights without due process would be considered the acts of Nazis/Fascists. he replied that it would be. I smiled and pointed out Obama’s use of the IRS to target and silence Conservative groups, and his use of the DoJ to silence reporters. I also pointed out the Democrats pushing of “no fly, no buy” legislation to strip citizens of their 2nd Amendment right without due process, as well as Obama’s EO that stripped SS recipients of the same. He scowled at me and walked away. Sometimes it’s fun being me.
Glad you got a kick out of Sabo’s artwork. He is a Consersative and mocks Liberals with his drawings.😉
Dude has a set… he does it in the LA area. Ne’s not afraid to go after any lib/donk/commie.
Seriously, that’s what he’s doing. Sabo basically holds up a mirror to liberals and bitch-slaps them with their own reflection.
I like Sabo and how he throws it right into libtard faces. Let’s not forget that they have Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder (TARD)to the point where it runs their lives making them Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder Operatives (TARDOs)!
Violent leftie turds will eventually push us to the point where we have to fight back with force, not words. They don’t want a civil war. They would lose in less than a day.
while I don’t disagree with your first premise, I would point out that the South said essentially the same thing about the North in regard to the length of the Civil War. In general, civil wars tend to be protracted bloody affairs that rarely end cleanly.
Yeah, but they won’t do it if the numbers of conservatives are equal to theirs. They can only handle the competition if there are more of them than there are of us, as I noted about the Antifas. They only feel safe and secure when in gang formation.
The little shits say they want to start a revolution when the truth is at least ninety percent of them can’t even start a lawn mower!
The truth, API, is that they can’t handle the truth.
Oh, the empty, empty lives they lead
With no one willing to concede
To them or meet their loud demands
When they hold out their empty hands
Hey, I’m a poet – and I know it!
I really get tired of the culture war going on in this country. To the point where it flat out makes me upset. Left vs Right. And this whole let’s harass public officials when they sit down to break bread. Is just another indicator of how polarized we have become. We look at the most extreme elements on either side and say , yup that’s all conservatives. It all liberals. It’s just wrong. No , mr liberal not all trump supporters are racist no mr conservative. Not all liberals are violent extremists either. It really insane how some folks on either side can’t try and remember that how we vote isn’t who we are. The doctor that saved your life might be a conservative. The policeman that protects your neighborhood might be a liberal. So many have forgotten what our grandparents knew. That we can agree to disagree. And be neighbors first. I am an independent. Many of you here are conservative. That never figured in why admiring so many here. I judge ppl by actions. I have liberal friends as well , hell my kids are liberal millennials. It’s doesn’t matter or it least iit shouldn’t.
Consider it to be birthing pains, NCF.
IN the early days of the American Revolution, a bunch of locals dressed as Indians boarded a ship in Boston Harbor and threw boxes of tea overboard as a protest against the British law that only British tea could be sold in the colonies. And there was the Stamp Act, which meant that every piece of printed paper was taxed, making it difficult to put out a printed newspaper. http://www.history.org/history/teaching/tchcrsta.cfm
Protest is as American as popcorn and apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
I understand what you are saying. I wish you could have known my grandfather. He was a WW2 and Korean War vet retired from the Army and civil service at Benning. A pastor a a rock of the Columbus religious community. He taught me that being strong in your convictions didn’t have to involve being nasty or judgement. He had lived through difficult times. Segregation, the Vietnam war. With even Columbus divided on the issue of Vietnam. And he dealt with families who were split on the issue. Trying to be a voice of hope and reason. Counseling Soldiers returning home from the war. I learned that being filled with hate because someone looked or thought differently was wrong. So maybe I’m out of touch with the modern methods of disagreement. But the values I learned from a Christian. a Soldier and great man. Have help shape me into what I am today.
Let us not forget poor Auntie Maxine Waters!
Just out this short video in the link. Loved it when Loomer asked Maxine: “Does this mean all Republicans now go to the back of the bus?” :
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/watch-laura-loomer-confronts-maxine-waters/
Correction to my comment about:
Loomer asks Maxine: “Where are Consevatives allowed to go? Do we sit at the back of the bus?”
Democrats haven’t kicked this many people out of restaurants since the 50’s.
Tell me again why liberal democrats are “progressive”. They’re returning to their roots.
Living in a $4million mansion and collecting paychecks year after year for nothing is a kind of individual progress…the context matters.
That was very well written, Ex-ph2!
I agree with every word you wrote.
Please keep the articles coming!
Thanks very much! I sure will.
Applause, Ex! The funny* part, now that Trump’s policies are actually working, the hate and vitriol from the left are only going to get worse.
*Funny strange, not funny humorous.
The noise they make is kind of like ‘all squeal and no pig’ – something like that. They do what they think they can get away with, and that means more and more obnoxious behavior until they disgust so many other people that they lose their “battle”.
Like Chucky Schumer’s recent malapropism, “All cattle and no hat.”
Mad Max and Granny McBotox are now the faces of the Dem Party, and welcome to it. I doubt left’s policies of open boarders and attacking Trump’s administration personnel and ICE law enforcers will turn out well for them.
Today’s SCOTUS’ findings are telling- more to come tomorrow.
Tired of winning yet?
*grin*
Maxine is out of her depth, but she just luvvvvs her bit of the spotlight. Is Nanny Botox still saying President Bush these days? I think she’s displaying signs of senile dementia a little early. Could be frozen brain cells from botox, too.
Is this one of those decisions? http://www.scotusblog.com/2018/06/symposium-what-might-trump-v-hawaii-portend-for-states-in-establishment-clause-cases/
See, those libretreds only want to accept the law if it does what they want it to do. Otherwise, it is evil.
Just for clarification, Maxine would be out of her depth in a damn teaspoon!Ans yes, Legosi is flat out senile..
I don’t think D-rats have been this pissed off since the Slaves were freed!
hahahaha… Too damn true!
Ya gotta love their ever present chants and utterances. Always the same – “Waddawewant?” followed by unintelligible mutterings screeched loudly, then “Whendowe want it?” answered by “NOW!” In other words, we never quite know what they want, but they want what they want, expect us to provide it, and it’s supposed to be supplied to them RIGHT NOW.
According to the late George Carlin, they want their own habitat, a clean place to live and more bicycle paths.
They don’t want to be inconvenienced by reality, either. It destroys their sense of entitlement.
I read an article on the Daily Wire that Steven Crowder ran into a group like that while confronting some leftist chick who threatened to fire bomb his van while not caring if his crew was in it or not and the crowd performed every trick in the leftist handbook from accusing him of inciting violence which is what they were trying to do, to shouting loudly to try and drown him out while he’s was trying to talk, and finally calling him a Nazi. You gotta love it when these people act like that because you know that they don’t have an argument to make or they have one but can’t back it up.

Leftist idiots out here in Boulder CO passed a similar law recently… the rest of the state is laughing at them (well, not politicians in Denver and Pueblo, they’re hoping to do the same).. Here’s to hoping they get slapped down similarly…
