The Insane Rationalizations, Bigotry And Out Right Hypocrisy Of The Left

There was no attempt on the life of the SC judge either.

"Will the city councilor be held accountable for her slur by her peers, by the media, by the voters, for this screed?" Cooper said in comments to the Washington Free Beacon. "Why would a local politician in Boston get worked up over an Arkansas court upholding anti-BDS laws—an important tool to fight back against anti-Semitic BDS? Maybe because she hates ‘Zionists'—read Jews."

The Biden administration’s nominee to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Brazil spoke at length about the influence of Jewish money in politics, claiming the "Jewish lobby" exerts undue influence over the Democratic Party with its "major money."

And a wonderful defense of her words;
 

Quote

 

"The language you used in regard to the Jewish community, Israel’s influence on our election, and Jewish money have me concerned," Sen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.) said during the hearing. "The choice of words was fit into the traditional tropes of anti-Semitism."

"I regret that you would think that it was a problem," Bagley told Cardin. "I certainly didn’t mean anything by it. It was a poor choice of words, but it was something that the interviewer had asked me, prompted by something about politics."

 

 

Quote

 

Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), the committee’s chairman, also expressed alarm over Bagley’s remarks.

"Is it a suggestion that one group of Americans don’t have the right to engage in the political process as others do?" Menendez asked. "Words, especially for those who are going to be ambassadors of the United States to other countries are incredibly important, probably more significant than maybe in our individual daily lives."

Last week's reversal of the Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court sent shockwaves through the political system. In addition to celebrations on the Right, there has been a dramatic backlash on the progressive Left, along with genuine fear among some women about what this ruling means for them. As is par for the course at this point, misinformation is rampant, and has included claims that the Dobbs ruling makes abortion illegal nationwide (it doesn't) or that states with abortion bans have no exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk (they do). But there has been another, deeply unfortunate development, too: the vehement racism shown towards Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The worst part about this is I'm not surprised. It only further reinforces every critique I have about modern white progressivism. Many of these people do not view Black people as equals but as tools that give credibility and moral authority to their ideology. Many white progressives view themselves as the "savior" of Black people, and as a result, they unconsciously believe we owe them our undying loyalty. That's why when anyone crosses them, they attack with a particular level of venom. And it's not just Black Republicans who they come for. White progressives will attack moderate Black Democrats too when they "get out of line."

I deigned to read the comments section, if only for a little bit==I fear I lost IQ points because of it.

Just wanted to add:: an asshole raised by other assholes. I also noticed he seemed surprised that the "peelers" got physical with him

I suppose Oregon taxpayers can now pay their tax debts when they feel like it, so as to fight white supremacy values.

They're using them as an excuse to be lazy themselves.  The people who promote and act out this bulls*t are the same ones who would scream at a fast food worker who didn't snap-to or and electrician who took a five minute smoke break in his 12 hour shift repairing downed powerlines in a blackout.  They don't believe it, they just want an excuse to not be held accountable themselves.

Double attack by the left on RKBA this week. New York has passed a law making pretty much every part of New York a "sensitive place" in direct contradiction of the SCOTUS ruling in Bruen. And UPS is declaring that gun parts are illegal and among other customers, canceling accounts of Brownells and stating that they'll seize in shipment packages and destroy them. 

[Ivanhoe]

The UPS thing is bogus, I think. They'll lose their status as a common carrier;

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/common-carrier.asp

 

Quote

 

A common carrier is defined by U.S. law as a private or public entity that transports goods or people from one place to another for a fee. The term is also used to describe telecommunications services and public utilities.

The word "common" is an important distinction here. A common carrier, such as a bus service, offers its services to the general public, unlike a private carrier that might be available to only specific clients on a contractual basis.

A utility may be considered a common carrier under the law because it makes no distinction in its customers. It is available to anyone in its coverage area who is willing to pay the fee.

And I am hoping this story is mostly or fully BS, because I have 3 lb of H4350 being held for pickup at the regional UPS center*.

 

* The "UPS Store" and FedEx stores can't handle hazmat because they aren't UPS/FedEx employees and thus no guarantee they've had hazmat training nor following hazmat rules.

It Would be ironic if true considering how much illegal drugs are shipped through UPS. 

As with some one shipping illegal drugs. How would UPS know weather Brownells is shipping a box of MREs or a bolt carrier for a 5.56.

Xray it?

[Ivanhoe]

A lot of people ship stuff labeled as "machine parts." Allegedly.

[rmgill]

Those glock full auto switches are just coming into the US as various parts. It doesn't help that they're interchangeable with Soft Air Gun Parts. I suppose the knee jerk response is to ban those too. 

[bojan]

Isn't Glock FA switch legal to own, but not to install on the gun? Just like those "solvent catchers" and infamous "full auto string"?

My kids air soft gun M16A2 looks more like a real rifle than the beat up M16A1 I was issued in the early 80's.

Someone used to an airsoft device would have little problem when using the real thing that was the model for the device. Stripping excepted, of course.

I can see them getting out of the firearms shipping just to avoid the hassle from the government. The US government looks like it is trying to ban guns by bureaucracy making it almost impossible to do any kind of firearm business. 

As for destroying packages that would be business suicide for a delivery company both from legal actions and customer backlash.  They might be just saying that to score woke points and finish of delivering gunparts that are in their system.

The government, since the 1968 Gun Control Act more or less requires firearms to be shipped by common carrier.

It would. Likely it would potentially be criminal if it was legally any shipped receivers that they intercepted and destroyed. (theft of firearms). State laws would be a problem. I don't see the Feds enforcing such interstate theft of firearms laws under this administration. 

[Ivanhoe]

Well, I picked up my H4350. Three hassles:

- counter gal couldn't figure out why my box was being held for pick up (needs signature, delivery attempt while I'm at work, do the math hun);

- hard to figure out where the customer service counter was;

- counter gal had a plastic bottle of some oddball flammable material that had fallen out of a cardboard box, and numbskull driver tossed the box and hazmat paperwork. She was desperately hoping it belonged to me.
