SLIPPERY SLOPES

Whenever pro-life advocates attempt to get specific legislation passed, such as the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, pro-abortion activists halloo like holy hell about the slippery slope the pro-lifers are intent upon riding abortion law down. And you know what? They're right, of course.

Likewise when gun-control advocates attempt to get specific legislation passed, such as the Assault Gun Ban, gun rights activists halloo like holy hell about the slippery slope the gun-banners are intent upon riding the Second Amendment down. And they're right, too.

So what? Why do these people act shocked? That is precisely what advocacy politics is all about: incremental warfare. You can't eat that pig all at once. You have to take it in bites. And if that's your bag, big fucking deal.

No, the difference I see is in the hypocrisy of the left. A right-winger will say "Sure, we're schussing down the abortion slope. After we get the PBA Ban passed, we're going after third-trimester abortions, then parental notification laws, all the way to apres-ski at the Roe v. Wade Bistro."

A left-winger will deny this shit forever. "NO! All we want is to get assault weapons off the street. All we want is to get Saturday Nite Specials out the hands of criminals. All we want is safety locks on handguns so children don't blow their widdle brains out." Bullshit. They want every gun in America melted down, and recast as sculptures to draft dodgers in Canada, or statues of Che Guevara. Whatever. And, again, the point is, if that's your bag, go be all you can be.

Just don't be a lying, cowardly pussy about what your true intentions are. What are you afraid of? That people will smoke out your agenda, and despise you for it? Deny you your ulterior goals?

Grow some nuts. State your case. Give it your best shot. But don't insult me with your bullshit "I only want to..." crap. Fucknuggets.

And that goes for smoking in public, fast food, .08 driving limits, and everything else you twats can think up to fuck with my world.

Don't believe me? Look at MADD. If these people really wanted to get serious about drunk driving they would have advocated for more cops, more road-blocks, and the like, to enforce the .10 and .12 state laws on the books. But no: they pushed for .08 with federal unfunded mandates backing it up, and merely managed to make an entire nation of Three Beer Bobs and Two Wine Sallies into a brand new criminal class. When statistics don't show a sufficent drop in DUI's it will be down to .06, then an honorary DUI for just walking out of a bar and putting your key in the ignition.

If I'm lying I'm, uh, them.
