Snowy, The Right To Bear Arms, Barry Young, And Me

Let's begin with the Supreme Court's outrageous decision today that struck down the Washington D.C. gun ban. It's outrageous because the decision was 5-4. That of course means that D.C. residents should immediately use their new-found right to gun down the four scumbags who voted to continue to unconstitutionally keep them (and us) from bearing arms.

But what made this ruling even more interesting was my recent encounters with Snowy and some comments made by my favorite talk show host, Barry Young, today. For those unfamiliar with Barry, he's about the most intelligent and funny - and rational person I've even heard, and this morning, he tangentially mentioned one of my favorite subjects - stupid people.

Which brings me to Snowy.

I felt badly when I read he last comment about me in that other thread because I realized I was dealing with one of -them-. No, I don't mean a liberal, I knew he was that because he proudly proclaimed it, and I admit that should have led me to the overriding conclusion, but he's clearly a nice guy, and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

So here's how all the above ties together. When Barry brought up the Supreme Court gun decision, he stated that the Second Amendment is crystal clear, and that only stupid people misinterpret it (four of those being the dissenting justices). Then Barry said something that has been a theme of mine for as long as I've been doing this sort of thing on the Net: the stupid people don't know they're stupid.

If he know about it, he didn't mention the decade-old study on this matter where it was found that not only did stupid people not know they're stupid (thanks to political correctness, no doubt), but that they actually thought they were smarter than smart people.

So when Snowy said that I'd cut him off because he was getting the best of me, there was no more ignoring the fact that he was one of THEM.

I don't know if you realize the implications of that study, but it means that idiots firmly believe not just that they know what they're talking about, but that they will push very hard to implement their idiotic ideas because, well, they thought of them, and therefore they must be right.

That's where we are today. It explains liberalism, environmentalism, the one or two sincere warming wackos, Obama... and the Snowys floatin' around everywhere. I mean, if you thought your ideas and beliefs where exactly correct, you'd fight hard for them, and since you don't know you're stupid, the only way to disprove your views is by implementation and subsequent failure.

That's not, generally speaking, exactly the most efficacious course for society, but it's one tacitly advocated by the likes of Vox John who is probably the most intelligent idiot I've ever encountered. Never was someone who knew so much so incapable of logically applying his knowledge to real world situations. Snowy's not in John's league, but he's no less convinced he's right. The biggest difference between Snowy and John though is that Snowy doesn't even attempt to defend himself. He merely states his belief and then declares he's gotten the best of you. It's almost endearing. I went easier on him than I otherwise might because his "debating approach" is so amusing - no indication whatsoever that he's interested in arguing his positions, much less detailing how he arrived at them.

But like anything else, fun is fun, and repetition gets old. I'd already decided that I'd been too nice to liberals of late before I heard Barry talking about stupid people today, and how Stupid people can find out for themselves whether they're stupid or not - he said what I used to say early and often in my form, but before I get to that, there's now, thanks to the Supreme Court, a second way to tell if you're stupid - -

Read the Second Amendment - if you think it applies to militias - you're stupid.

And if you're still not sure, call Barry or come here and we'll tell you...

Now this good news for liberals:

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's parliament voiced its support on Wednesday for the rights of great apes to life and freedom in what will apparently be the first time any national legislature has called for such rights for non-humans.

So what's next, monkey matadors?
