Hitchens Gets Iran & Fascism: 'Boys Who Can't Get A Date Are Given Guns & Told They're Special'
Posted by: Greg Hengler at 12:34 PM

Hitch begins

For a flavor of the political atmosphere in Tehran, Iran, last week, I quote from a young Iranian comrade who furnishes me with regular updates:

I went to the last major Ahmadinejad rally and got the whiff of what I imagine fascism to have been all about. Lots of splotchy boys who can't get a date are given guns and told they're special.

Hey Cicero!!
How's that Glock 21 working for you? I ask because the knumbnutz legislators in NY State passed a law about 12 or more years ago banning handguns with over a 10 round capacity unless they were made PRE-ban. A lot of Glock 21s are out there that are pre-ban.

I WAS looking at a ParaOrdnance P14-45 but that also is limited to 10 rounds in my state. I have to find out of the law pertains to the gun or the magazine. If it's the mag I may be able to get some pre-ban P14 mags. If not I have a line on a mint Model 21 with THREE spare mags which is pre-ban for $450. Sound good?

Paddy writes, "First suggestion I've EVER heard....of The One meeting with foul play......"

Somewhere else at Town Hall, I once read, "My prayer (every night and day) is the the Obama Administration lasts one year or less....I don't care how that comes to pass, but may God grant us relief from this madman......"

That counts as a "suggestion," doncha think?

Will Townhall reprint
any of Hitchens insights on why ALL religion is bad, even Christianity?

It seems Hitchens (who is a pretty good writer, although sometimes I think he's full of it) is only liked by the right when he bashes Islam. The problem is that the problem he has with Islam is the same one he has with Christianity.

All that said, this nuttiness about Iran needs to stop. The NeoCons need a fake threat, and Iran is it.

This is an interesting article by a pollster that indicates that the election results are probably valid..

Pistol envy is a good envy!
I have two Israeli Arms 50 caliber Desert Eagle hand guns. It hurts to shoot them but I cannot resist. Ear protection is a must for these weapons. Only a fool does it twice! Pistol envy is a good envy!

Cicero,

Sorry, I forgot to answer you. For dropping them where they stand, I've got a Stoeger Cougar .40 cal. They're basically a berretta knock off.

For walking around in public though, I carry a little Keltec .380. Not much in the way of stopping power, but it carry's 6 rounds plus one, fits in your pocket with hardly a lump, and with hollow points will make the bad guy wish he hadn't picked on you.

Here's where jeni jumps in and makes a disparaging comment about the size of my man tackle. Well, you know what jeni, when Mrs. Corndog asks me who I expect to please with that, I say "Me".

are you implying that someone should shoot the president? I know you said 'Osama', but you nutters are not very smart.
Corndog writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 4:41 PM
Hey Jeni

"...even the diminutive pickling cukes have it all over your gun."

You're not really a liberal are? Cause I have to admit, THAT was funny. I've got to respect someone who can give it back. BRAVO and nicely done.

Now why don't you go get some peanut butter and let your Doberman in the house.
Cicero writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 4:19 PM
.357 Mag. is a right honorable caliber.
That's the other caliber I carry, when I'm not carrying my Glock. Ruger SP-101 on the ankle. If I'm not mistaken, the .357 Mag compares with the .45 in terms of knockdown power.
leonp writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 4:05 PM
Hence the name "corndog"
Which still leads us to the same conclusion: the rightwing male has his guns obsession to substitute for what is sadly lacking 'elsewhere'. I'm sure even the diminutive pickling cukes have it all over your gun, corndog.
Exeye writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 3:59 PM
Ha!
Yeah, good idea. You think Osama will show up in a carry state? He's headed to Massachusetts.
Exeye writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 3:45 PM
.357
When you absolutely, positively have to kill...what's the rest of that quote? The perfect carry weapon, IMHO. .38 to play with, 138 grain Silvertips to blow out engine blocks.
Corndog writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 2:58 PM
Yes Jeni

I do love my guns...almost as much as you love your cucumbers.
vladimir estragon writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 2:48 PM
Armed and dangerous liberals
I have a very illegal little handgun: a WWII vet brought it back and lost it to one of my uncles in a poker game, and now it's mine. Hasn't been fired since Nixon was president.

Besides that, just the .410 I was given as a child, and the 12-gauge I replaced it with, for bird hunting.
Cicero writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 2:47 PM
I can conceal my Glock, Frank. . .
and it has plenty of knockdown power. That thing of yours you have to haul around on a trailer.
Cicero writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 2:02 PM
Mine's a .45, Corndog
A Glock 21 to be precise.

How about yours?
leonp writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 1:57 PM
Sounds like rightwingers and the NRA
Sorry, Corndog, but it is your conservative crowd who shrieks the loudest about their guns, and seem to equate their manhood to the size of the heat they pack. Silly boys exist in all cultures.
vladimir estragon writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 1:56 PM
Check
"Lots of splotchy boys who can't get a date are given guns and told they're special."

I don't see any ten-foot poles lying around, so I'm not touching that.
Corndog writes: Monday, June, 15, 2009 1:41 PM
Sounds like our libtards...

...with this modification.

"Boys who can't get a date WITH A WOMAN are given TENURE AT A PRESTIGIOUS LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE and told they're special."

Lord knows we wouldn't dare give them a gun cause they'd invariably shoot themselves in the foot. Kind of exactly like what obambi's doing now.
