The Kansas Infidel: Hey libtards

Hey libtards - guns save lives!

In this case the life of a police officer who was being mobbed by 40-50 thugs. Obola and his appointees are directly responsible for the danger police face. They've created an unsafe environment and have encouraged the thugs to attack police. Their ideology, agenda, and actions during the last 7 years have supported a violent, totalitarian mentality and authoritarian values. And our thin blue line is paying the price.

This is particularly worrisome for a culture such as ours. It is increasingly focused on and defined by popular entertainment. The lines between entertainment and politics are now completely blurred. Social media is only adding fuel to the fire. There is a gleeful abandon on Twitter in making “epic takedowns” of opponents and driving their proverbial noses into the digital dust. And our movies and TV shows glorify revenge and narcissism to the point where they are not merely acknowledged as social realities, but actually accepted as positive expressions of the human condition.

Here’s the danger. Former Hubert Humphrey speechwriter John P. Roche once told National Review columnist John Fund that “[i]f authoritarianism of the right or left ever comes to America, it will come surrounded by patriotism and show business.”
So true. The Super Bowl’s opening act of Lady Gaga belting out the Star Spangled Banner was followed by the halftime display of black revolutionary nationalism. The juxtaposition was not an accident. It was intended to show the latter is now acceptable by the former.

We had best be careful about the kind of entertainment we wish for. We may find ourselves someday on the wrong side of Penn’s wish to institutionalize people.
