Marissa's musings about liberty, individual rights, justice, grief, loss, and other random things
Another excellent post from the Firearms Policy Coalition:

“What a sea change it would be for Americans to finally have some peace of mind, knowing that a dedicated government entity exists solely to protect their rights, not infringe upon them.”
The establishment of the Second Amendment Task Force is great news indeed. The federal government is actually working to protect our rights, rather than working to violate them. What a revolutionary concept.
No philosophical commentary, I just thought this was pretty cool:

A beautiful thing to see, and something that certainly wouldn’t have taken place under the Biden administration:

The third slide of this Instagram post really caught my attention. In it, Barron Trump is called an “oddity on campus” by fellow NYU students because “he goes to class, he goes home.”
Why the heck is it considered “odd” to go to class and then go home? Isn’t that exactly what a student is supposed to do? What is it, exactly, that Barron is expected to do in addition to attending his classes? What is required in order to qualify as “normal” in these people’s eyes?
This is a perfect example of the bigotry and intolerance of the progressive left. They proudly proclaim their support for queer people, trans people, single mothers, poor people, racial minorities, religious minorities… but find it “odd” that a student goes to class and then goes home. They criticize a young man for literally doing exactly what makes perfect sense for a person to do in his situation.
So in case this needs to be stated, which it shouldn’t, there is nothing odd about going to class and then home. It is exactly what makes sense for a student to do. I’m tired of this meanness, intolerance, and hypocrisy.
Very well-said:

Exactly! It’s the double standards and logical inconsistency that are so infuriating. It makes no sense for people to be outraged when government workers lose their jobs, but not when private sector workers lose their jobs. This is especially true when the private sector workers lost their jobs due to regulations that government workers created and implemented.
There are some great comments on the post which deserve to be quoted as well:
“Remember when Biden said people fired for not taking the vaccine could find another job? Well I’m sure the bureaucrats can find another job.”
“The fact that people I once called friends are boo-hooing about federal workers who held jobs which never should’ve existed and not the millions of people who lost jobs, homes, or businesses due to the actions of the regulatory agencies those workers worked for…sickens me.”

“The left assumed young men would simply embrace being dispossessed and hated. They were wrong.”
An excellent point:

Generally, I’m not a big advocate of pointing at people and laughing. Generally, I consider this a pretty mean thing to do. But honestly, I 100% agree with the below posts from Twitchy and the Firearms Policy Coalition:

I am so utterly sick and tired of Democrats and their hurtful and intolerant words and policies. I am so tired of being insulted, attacked, shamed and ridiculed. I am so tired of the vicious, nasty, and pompous condemnations of people who have done nothing wrong. I am tired of innocent people being hurt, and then when they express their hurt, treated as if they are the problem. I am tired of people violating the rights of others, and then acting as if they’ve done something positive, something that gives them a claim to the moral high ground. I am tired of the self-righteous intolerance, tired of the bigotry mischaracterized as virtue. I am tired of the hypocrisy, the inconsistency, the double standards, the lack of logic, and more than anything else, the lack of empathy.
They hurt us, and then criticize us for being hurt.
They anger us – by taunting, insulting, ridiculing, and attacking us – and then criticize us for being angry.
They violate our rights, and then criticize us for protesting (after they themselves have spent months and months engaging in the most violent and vicious protests imaginable).
They are cruel to us, and then accuse us of being cruel.
They exclude us for being different, and then accuse us of exclusion.
They engage in a campaign of systematic obliteration of all diversity from our world, and then pontificate about the importance of diversity.
They insult us because of our skin color, and then accuse us of being racist.
They condemn us for being “insurrectionists” and “traitors” – as if resisting authority is self-evidently pejorative – and then characterize themselves as “fighting back” and “the resistance.”
They have demonstrated, again and again, the most abject and appalling lack of empathy imaginable, and then accuse us of lacking empathy.
For so long, Democrats have pointed and laughed – and far worse – at people who have done nothing whatsoever to deserve such treatment. For so long, Democrats have piled on – inflicting additional pain and harm on people who are already hurting – and then acted as if this somehow constitutes moral virtue. It’s past time that they get a taste of their own medicine. Maybe then they will actually understand the magnitude, the severity, the sheer enormity, of harm that they have caused and the pain that they have inflicted.
