A note for Gun Owners in Georgia

 So, here's my take on the Georgia runoff elections:  I don't trust Republican politicians as far as I can spit, and I don't trust Democrat politicians even that far.  Warnock is an absolute nutcase, and a miserable human being, while Ossoff reportedly has financial ties to China.  But then, apparently so does Georgia Republican's of State  Raffensperger, whose brother is CTO of Huawei, a Chinese military company, among other things, apparently spies on Americans.  But, I would rather see Perdue and Loeffler in the Senate than Warnock and Ossoff. 

 Today, at Bearing Arms Tom Knighton notes that The Georgia Senate Race is Basically a Referedum on the Second Amendment. Of course, it is more than that. It seems that this race may determine whether the United States will continue as a Constitutional Republic, or sink into the poverty and tyranny of a Socialist, Communist government. More on that in a minute. If I lived in Georgia, as a gun owner and bearer of arms, I would definitely get out and vote. And you know for whom I would cast my votes. Knighton is correct that the only way to overcome the effects of the Democrat's stealing the election is to overwhelm it with votes for Perdue and Loeffler.

On the subject of Communism, I was watching a three part series last night entitled Apocalypse - Stalin on the absolute horror of this paranoid, whose craving for power was insatiable. Of course, unlike traditional American governance in which power is given up when a term is over, and we have a peaceful transfer, Stalin could not count on that happening. He had murdered so many, including fellow revolutionaries, that he couldn't be sure he himself would not be targeted.

I think he truly believed himself to be the smartest guy in the room. And if he ever got the impression that he might not be the smartest guy, the other guy soon disappeared.  He also didn't believe in God, so he felt had no limits to how he could oppress people.

And oppress people he did.  In Stalin's Russia, if you were in the Communist party, you got plenty of food, a warm place to live, and enjoyed entertainments and other goodies. On the other hand, if you were just a poor slob who wasn't a member of the party, you were left cold, and hungry, to either freeze or starve to death. Not, of course, that it was any different under the Czar. But that is my point. It is always this way with Socialists.  The promise wonderful things to the working people, but when the get absolute power, they oppress these people.  It is this way in Cuba, in Venezuela, in North Korea, and of course, in China.  Those Nike shoes you are wearing?  Yeah, they were produced using Chinese slave labor.

Oh, and a final note for Georgia gun owners, if you were counting on the Second Amendment to protect your rights to arms, our Supreme Court has proved itself useless.  They do not care about your rights.  If you want to defend your rights, you will have to do it yourself.  And the first way you can defend your rights is by voting.
