extra nutty Globe Letter to the Editor

[pdm]

I don't know either way, but I do have a liberal loon neighbor that said he would not want me to come to his aid or his families if they were being attacked , if I was going to be carrying a gun! I could drop the gun and come help him with a bat, that would be ok, but I shouldn't try to hit the intruder in the head! That's a quote, and he was serious!

Yep, I'd let him suffer the consequences of his foolishness.

I say dial 911 and take good notes.

 

[Jose]

When math teachers dictate school security policies then we have something to go after him for.

I would lobby to get him fired, nonetheless.

I say dial 911 and take good notes.

I'd say do nothing. Do not call the police. Let him suffer the consequences of his stupidity to their full effect.

Another satiric (we hope) letter to the editor from Mr. Van Gorder:

This one is even more striking than the OP

If this letter is satire he could not have picked a more inapropriate site to post it. With that said if he is serious he desrves a beating of biblical proportions.
And to answer questions about knowing people who think like his posts, I do. And I am dead nuts serious. From people who still believe Barry is the messiah and going to save the world to genuine guilt for eating meat.

 

[Bill Nance]

It has to be satire..I have a question though..Have any of you really met people like that? (snip)

I have met some true pacifists.

We were talking about the principles of non-violence and I explained that turning someone over to police for something was just abetting coercion and use of force. After a little conversation they agreed. Using someone else to enforce something was just aggression by proxy.

Then I told them to give me their wallets or I'd take them. They gave up the wallets and didn't call the police.

Ain't it grand when you meet someone who really takes their beliefs seriously?

 

[theGringo]

What makes the letter (and even the "diversity" satire) so credible is that moonbats really do think and talk this way. We're surrounded by it all the time. Here's on of my favorite examples:

Katie Couric (92 points)
“You’re so confident, Mr. President, and so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say, ‘Damn, this is hard. Damn, I’m not going to get the things done I want to get done, and it’s just too politicized to really get accomplished the big things I want to accomplish’?”
— CBS’s Katie Couric in an exchange with Obama shown on The Early Show, July 22. [MP3 Audio (0:19)]

Hmmm on second though perhaps this is well played satire. If so kudos.

 

[ASHDUMP]

This is pure craziness.

 

[n1zfg]

Of course, being from Quincy, his child isn't exposed to the dangers in the school he speaks of.

I'd be willing to bet his child goes to a charter, parochial, or some private school where the potential problems are identified and taken care of well in advance of any potentially tragic outcome.

If it is real he doesn't have a child. Just because the writer might have been truthfully expressing his opinion doesn't meant he hasn't embellished the details.

 

[JRyan]

exactly.

I like how some unnamed goon neg repped me for the above ^^ citing satire even though I was agreeing that it was satire and that it was scary that there are people in the state who might think that way. I also agreed with EC earlier in the thread; that it was satire. Reading comprehension fail, good work coward.

anyway, I ran it by some liberal friends of mine, they had to pause and think about it. Hilarious, but also very sad.

 

[Gadsden]

I refuse to believe that a parent would chose to bury his own child than defend him? That has to be satire.

It's fake. Even the left-wingiest, mooniest moonbat wouldn't write this:

I've met folks that would not only write it, but do anything they can to ensure others conform to their beliefs. Sadly, there ARE folks that feel being a victim is somehow morally superior to defending themselves. I really do believe it is satire, but I have talked to more than one self-hating apologist whom believes we should feel guilty for being in a better position than others and consider it "social justice" when bad things happen to all but the worst off of people.

I hate the reward failure and punish success mentality of these people.

He has elevated trolling to an art form and my hat is off to him.

I agree. Awesome.

 

[WILDCATT]

satire???

not from what I know.my cousin in revere a retired teacher in chelsea, is just that mind set "all guns should be destroyed.no one should have a gun."there are many who believe anything they read in papers.she hates bush,loves kennedy for all the good things hes done for the people.but suddenly here pension and heath care is threatened and she wont vote for Obama again.
many of you cant believe this thread but I do.I have seen it coming since 1968.this country is breaking in two.

I know people like this too. They are all cowards - every one of them. I think people like this started out normal, and at some point in their lives were faced with a situation where they should have stood up for themselves, but didn't. In order to justify/rationalize their cowardice in their own minds, they convinced themselves that it was morally superior to be a victim than to fight, and then built a way of life around it.

I have 'friends' that are like this. I put 'friends' in quotes because these people are not true friends, they're just people that I've known for a long time, and that I end up crossing paths with frequently. They're also not friends because I know that they secretly hate and are jealous of people that can take care of themselves.

I don't just mean self defense either. These people are jealous of someone that can change a tire, fix things that break, prepare for bad times, have the ability to catch/kill/grow their own food, know how to build or put out a fire, and can do their own electrical/plumbing/carpentry. These people have a name for those of us that are self-sufficient: They call us "extremists", and they hate us.

 

[digitaldon37]

I agree. Awesome.

This has gone viral. I'm getting e-mails from my friends down in Texas.

Truth

I am not surprised by that. But it will be interesting if they keep it up on the site for much longer. I also fear for this guys job once this gets big enough. You can bet people are trying to contact him through his employer.

Anyone contact the guy? If you do a google search it's everywhere.

Starting to look that way.

And that one is fairly dripping with sarcasm. IMHO, beautifully done:

It is entirely appropriate that the Army never acted upon suspicions raised by Hasan’s earlier, perhaps troubling to some, behavior. It is appropriate because — and we must continually restate this as almost a mantra until progressivism sets our collective heart in the right place — he is an American whose very presence completes our national identity. And although we deplore the acts of violence Hasan allegedly committed, we deeply cherish his contribution to America’s diversity.

The beauty of his writings is that he can't be challenged by a moonbat rag like the Globe. He is toeing the liberal line in his letters. He even pays lip service to "deploring violence." How could any good socialist/moonbat disagree with him? EC is correct - the guy is an uber-troll. He's slapping the moonbats in the face...and the ironic part is many of them will never realize it!

I like the guy's writings more and more.

Doug

When I read his letter in the Globe yesterday I fell, hook,line and sinker. Later I read his letter to the Patriot Ledger and he was reeling me in. When I read his letter in the Stars and Stripes I got it. BRILLIANT!

Great post, spot on

I wish there was something smart or witty I could add to that, but you summed it up. If I am ever consumed by that much fear and hatred.. so afraid of the responsibility of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility that I lash out at and hate others whom can.. I will volunteer to hold the pumpkins at the next NES pumpkin blast.

I hope somebody does. He probably has no idea of the fan-base that is forming. Those letters are flipping brilliant!
