Those who don't remember history ...


... are condemned to make it up by pulling it out of their ass:

Got this in the mailbag, just had to share. Obviously by an American writer, so Liberals you may avert your eyes lest your brain implodes, and you CBC hacks may go sniffle in the corner now…

“Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.”

~ Thomas Jefferson


Awwwwwww ... that's so cute. Mind you, it would be cuter if it weren't delusional bullshit:

The saying "Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not" is sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson. We have yet to find any proof that Jefferson ever wrote such a thing; indeed, he seems to be all but contradicting such an idea in the following quotation:

"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independant, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to it's liberty and interests by the most lasting bands. As long therefore as they can find emploiment in this line, I would not convert them into mariners, artisans, or any thing else." - Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 23 August 1785

I wonder why it never occurs to these pro-gun loonies that their own rhetoric is the most effective anti-gun propaganda there is?

...They're all ignorant, angry, violent, drunk and potentially very dangerous. Sure, give these people unrestricted access to deadly weapons...makes sense to me.

Access to plastic utensils should be limited for these people.

So sue me. These people act as if any restrictions on their precious kill sticks are an intolerable assault on their constitutional rights (which they don't have, but then, they usually forget what country they live in, anyway) while being completely indifferent to material assaults on the civil rights of others.
