First they came for the NRA

So San Francisco, quite possibly the true vision of the radical Marxist pagan police state the Left wants, has declared the NRA - that's the National Rifle Association - a domestic terrorist group.  The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is urging other cities, and the federal government, to do the same.

This is, of course, what the Left wants.  Children of the Cold War Soviet Bots, their goal is a Soviet styled global state of oppression, poverty, and slavish devotion to the elites who will rise above it all.   Keeping Americans divided, and assuring them that's it's just those other bad Americans who will have to surrender their freedoms, et al., the Left is making great strides among the hopelessly naive and ignorant.

Much of the modern Left relies on the notion of martyrdom by proxy: as long as other dumb schmucks do the suffering and dying, it's the sacrifice I'm willing to make.  Be it AIDS, drug overdose, crippling regulations to stop Global Warming, or the destruction of liberties and freedoms, there is no end to the suffering and oppression of others that young leftists are willing to tolerate.

This is because they've been taught in our fine public school system, and further reinforced by our genius researches and pop culture, that they are the pinnacle of awesome, therefore clearly it will only be everyone else who dies, suffers or pays the price.  It will never be them.

The foolish and ignorant and arrogant will cheer what the Golden Gate City is doing.  Either because they are sure their own supreme intellectual and moral superiority will forever except them from such a thing. Or they will cheer because they actually believe it is only ever the really bad guys that leftist go after since, by definition, those on the left are the beautiful people.  Or they're cowards hoping that when this finally does go down, it will be after they're dead and gone since, really, nobody can be so stupid as to look at this, look at where other liberal rights movement like gay rights have gone, and conclude it's only going to be this inch, and they'll never take a mile.

But then, history is filled with the ignorant masses who later generations look back on and ponder, "What the hell were they thinking?"  We're now in one of those times that future generations will look back on and wonder the same thing.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

But then they left everyone else along because they were like me —
     You know - awesome!
