OPINION:
Recently a Washington Commanders coach was speaking from his heart about the attack on one of his players. While begging for non-political talk about the murders filling the streets of Democrat-run cities, he called for more useless gun laws, and hinted that he wants all guns taken away from citizens. He blames the guns, not the humans who pull the triggers.
This is a classic example of liberal “non-think.” The coach said nothing about changing the minds and hearts of the killers and thugs the Democrats have allowed to take over the streets of their swamp cities. He said nothing about changing the liberal values and behaviors that have filled the minds of students in Democrat-run schools with hate, devaluing human life. People like him fail to think that taking away guns, even semi-automatics, violates the rights of citizens and puts them in danger on the Democrats’ streets.
They also fail to think of the possibility, as our smarter founders knew, that there could be a takeover of our country by extremists of one party. Those who dismiss that idea should think on this: We have a political party that has lied to a FISA court, lied about the death of an ambassador, kept quiet before an election about the crimes of its candidate’s family members, allowed the armed invasion of the home of a past president and is now dividing our country by race. Don’t you think that party would try to take by force what it cannot get by lies? An emotional coach concerned about his player can be forgiven for political “non-think,” but cold, calculating America haters cannot be trusted.
