Now that may seem strange, coming from somebody who actually believes in freedom and actually defended it for 27 years, but I want you to hear me out. She may be an aspiring dictator and a mid-wit Karen brimming over with Xanax wishes and Chardonnay dreams, but she\u2019s providing us with a valuable opportunity that we should take full advantage of. She has decreed that the constitutional right to keep and bear arms must yield to what she unilaterally decided is a \u201cpublic health emergency.\u201d Cool. Now, I\u2019ve got some decrees of our own.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve long said that there are three ways things can go. Option One is a free society where there are norms and rules that we all abide by and our Constitutional rights are protected and everybody has a right to participate in their own governance. This is my favorite option. It\u2019s the one that I grew up in back when America was a free country and not a pronoun-fixated banana republic. Option Two is an authoritarian dictatorship where guys like me are in charge. Not my first choice, but I can live with it. Finally, Option Three is a communist dictatorship, and then it\u2019s basically break out the rifles, boys. I was never good at kneeling, and at my age, my knees just won\u2019t tolerate it any better than my attitude will.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Governor Paula Pot has made it clear that Option One is now off the table, so I guess we have to go with Option Two \u2013 ironically, during the week of the 50th anniversary of Augusto Pinochet overthrowing the communist dictator of Chile. Now, I think it\u2019s a bad idea and I\u2019m still pushing for Option One, but it\u2019s pretty clear that freedom no longer an option. So Option Two it is.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start decreeing stuff, Republicans!<\/p>\n<p>The first thing red states need to decree is a ban on the teaching, advocacy, or practice of socialism in any of its putrid forms. Those who care nothing about the children will immediately pipe up about the alleged right to speak freely, but they refuse to acknowledge the harm this poisonous ideology does. Harm trumps rights, as colleges and the regime media have taught us. And boy, is socialism harmful. It\u2019s violence \u2013 literally. Marxism is responsible for over 100 million deaths in the last century. That\u2019s more deaths than net neutrality, Republican Medicare cuts, and dead-naming combined!<\/p>\n<p>From the killing fields of Russia and Ukraine, to those of Red China and Cambodia, Marxism is murder. We must prioritize safety, for the children, and there is no safe space when an ideology of death like socialism is able to be articulated and advocated in public. Free speech is nice, I guess, but it is officially known that no right is absolute. Socialism is clearly hate speech, which is totally a thing in our Constitution, according to sources and experts who you can watch on MSNBC anytime you want \u2013 well, not after we ban socialism! Because socialism is hate speech, not only can we ban it, but we must ban it as the public health menace that it is.<\/p>\n<p>And when we retake the White House, it won\u2019t just be red governors doing it. As a nation, we will be able to scratch \u201cDestroying Socialism\u201d off our to-do list. It will be totally illegal and we can get right on enforcing the ban with the reconstituted FBI, the reformed Department of Justice, and the United States Army helicopter corps.<\/p>\n<p>The next public health decree? No trans insanity! We\u2019ve got a public health crisis where children are being mutilated with chemicals and scalpels to conform their God-given bodies to the delusions of their Chardonnay-sodden Munchhausen mommies. This must stop. I know it\u2019s weird that I have to say it, but castrating a boy so he can more effectively pretend to be a girl causes harm. And it is unsafe. And therefore it should be subject to being banned by a decree issued by a caring chief executive. And if you disagree, you clearly don\u2019t care about the children \u2013 wait, that\u2019s actually not sarcasm.<\/p>\n<p>But why stop at kids? The decree should include outlawing mutilation as a treatment for mental illness in adults as well. I know that there are some well-meaning libertarianish folks out there who buy the idea that after age 18, we as a society have no interest in what you do to yourself. Well, we don\u2019t let people walk into a hospital and say \u201cChop off my arm\u201d because they feel like it, and what\u2019s good for the arm is good for the penis.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to cut up your body because you think you\u2019re the other gender, you have a mental problem and not a physical one that can be cured by some quack surgeon slicing you into pieces. Some people will say this isn\u2019t tolerant, and that\u2019s fine with me. We tried tolerance, and we ended up with men dressed like Charo twerking their be-thonged butts in the faces of our kindergartners.<\/p>\n<p>The next decree should address a massive public health crisis among children, because it\u2019s always about the children, who are failing to learn and be educated in unionized schools. That\u2019s public healthish, right? Clearly, teachers unions must be outlawed, and those running them prosecuted and punished for the lasting harm they have inflicted on a generation of kids. Now, some might argue that this is the kind of policy that should go through the normal legislative process, but I beg to differ. It\u2019s a public health emergency when children are failing to learn to read and write because I said so, and if you disagree that\u2019s violence, and if you oppose this common sense measure, you clearly hate the children. There\u2019s blood on your hands. You should be deplatformed. You\u2019re also racist and probably a transphobe or something.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, we must protect Our Democracy, which is why those in power \u2013 us \u2013 must be able to rule by decree. Now these decrees may represent an expansive reading of \u201cpublic health emergency,\u201d but that\u2019s OK. As currently understood, laws should be read expansively if that\u2019s what\u2019s required to, say, get the result a politicized prosecutor wants. Once again, it\u2019s not the paradigm that I support \u2013 I think this is all a terrible idea \u2013 but it is the operative New Rule, and I know that because I see a governor of a miserable desert state issuing decrees that the Second Amendment is no longer in effect, and I watch a senile, corrupt, desiccated old pervert\u2019s Department of Justice (sic) being sicced on a man who will very likely be his opponent in the next presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I don\u2019t like any of this, but you know what I like even less? Taking this crap without hitting back. Leftist jerks, I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again \u2013 I told you so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tool Who Governs New Mexico Has Handed Patriots a Potent New Tool I want to thank the versatile governor of New Mexico, whose name I don\u2019t care about, for being a communist and a fascist all at once.
