7. total war
until they are gone.


Which brings up several questions:

*Will they, or their family members, be doing any of the fighting in their 'war'?

*Will they be armed while doing so?

*In regard to the second statement- Are you also planning a simultaneous War on Metallurgy?

They have a license to fury and hate without showing "compassion," yet demand compassion from their opponents.

They use personal smear, degrading comments, and piggy-back sex identity slurs (see "Ammosexuals&quot with little fear of a hide.

They push some sort of non-violence, then as you have pointed out, advocate a WOD-type "war."

They are often prohibitionist on other issues.

They value above all gigging and humbling opponents more than any professed goals for their outlook.

They are midnight-blind to the counter-productive effects of their culture war tactics, and don't seem to care about it.

Most of them can't even be bothered to contribute to any of the gun control organizations or turn out for one of their "rallies".

There is NO chance they would volunteer to go door to door and try and take guns. They are more likely to stay home with the shades drawn and the doors locked until it is all over.

Yes, stay home with their own guns in many cases.

Let us know when YOU or your child(ren) sign up to fight in that "war", mmkay?


If, FSM forbid, such a thing were ever to come about most of the controllers would embrace
their inner Toby Keiths and William Loebs...
