Heh. So guns have rights? I had no idea. I thought citizens had the right to own a gun. Missed the legalization granting inanimate objects rights.
FWIW, I find it interesting that Mr. Teidrech would fight like a mad dog for a woman's right to abort children, but appears hostile to the idea of the same woman being able to defend herself with a gun against a murderous rapist. Almost like his big concern is paving the way for an unhindered sex culture, but if the woman herself must be sacrificed, so be it.
Perhaps there's just no amount of humans that some men aren't willing to sacrifice for their libidos.. Which is a little off from what the always brilliant Stephen King seems to be getting at, without his realizing it:
If I supported abortion rights up until the last couple weeks of unhinged insanity and madness in the service of aborting children, I think this would push me over to the pro-life side. Or at least I'd like to think it would.
Jeff Tiedrich is impressive for his ability to make a living being an idiot. As many, MANY memes have pointed out, if we treat women like guns...
ReplyDeleteThe women can't go on airplanes, enter a polling place, go to school, enter a courthouse, be around children, ride in a vehicle without someone with a license to own them and if they are left alone, the must be locked up.
Depending on the jurisdiction.
I've seen him pass by now and then. Know nothing about him, except this is about on par with his level of reasoning. The shocking thing is that he appears to have a big following, and is somewhat known in punditry circles. Low standards I suppose.
DeleteSean P. Dailey is re-tweeting Stephen King's consignment shop wisecracks. (In that case, first uttered > 40 years ago by some dame in Florynce Kennedy's social circle and then retailed by her chum Gloria Steinem). Such a vibrant intellectual subculture to which he belongs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not exactly the sharpest in the room. I can't imagine reposting anything King has to say about a topic.
DeleteI suppose he's of above median sharpness, like 50% of the population. There are two problems. One is that he has a deeply disturbed metaphysical view of the universe, which shows in his stories. He's not like M. R. James, who was anti-Catholic but at least came from a deeply Christian background, which he understood thoroughly. King lacks that understanding altogether. The other problem is that Stephen King is thoroughly messed up, especially in matter of sex, and this is manifest in his writings.
DeleteI remember when Marcus Grodi said he believed King was the greatest American author. I told him I wasn't a fan and had to disagree. I had read some of his stories, and a couple were OK. Salem's Lot is probably my favorite of the bunch. But I would be on the side that agrees with your assessment of King in general, which is likely why I don't care for his works for the most part.
