"I want my guns and I want children to be born"

[Ava]

I give you an email i received through my website today.. enjoy -

"Ava-
I am so very thankful that you have taken the time and made the effort to take a stand for what you believe. You are to be commended for that. I do however find some fault with the stance you have taken. I don't think that a stronger government was what our founding fathers wanted because they had a government to oppress them in England they came here to get les government. First we had no government and that was no good so they created the articles of confederacy. This was a positive step from no government but not very efficient. Then later in history we had our Constitution of the United states of America this in my opinion is the most amazing document in the history of the world. It included everything then and deals effectively with most issues now. We have slowly added more law and given the government more control of our individual rights as time ticks by. I want my guns and I want children to be born. I think a woman's right to choose stops when she conceives she can choose an active lifestyle or abstinence I have no quarrel with that but I must advocate on the side of the child. If she doesn't want or can't support a child she should think about that before choosing an active lifestyle. I work hard for a living so that I'm not dependant on social programs and I think that every body who is capable should do the same thing. I think people in the community need to look out for and support their neighbors but it is not the governments place to obligate me to support anyone except myself and my family. I think if you break a law you should be punished and that goes for every person of every nationality that is here illegally. They are not citizens so our programs and our security do not apply to them. If bad things happen to them that is terrible the only thing they deserve is a return trip home. Please visit these organizations website and study what they feel is right; NRA, AFA, and the Minuteman PAC. I think that there are so many perspectives that make sense and you are just skirting the edge of what truth is please broaden your horizon to other plausible views."


Oh dear :rofl:

[Wapsie B]

1. That could've easily come from almost any state in the Union.

They're still out there.

[KamaAina]

36. Actually, I'm guessing an Indian reservation

and that goes for every person of every nationality that is here illegally.

:sarcasm:

[JitterbugPerfume]

2. how else

are you going to have a shot gun wedding?:rofl:

[surrealAmerican]

3. That's almost cute.

It reads like it was written by an eight-year-old. You can see the effort.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

4. Well... at least they were polite about it

as I understand it, you've gotten some nasty emails before. :scared: That being said, wow. I am so sick of people saying, "all you have to do is work hard to get ahead... the government shouldn't be supporting people." Maybe they should try being unemployed. x(

:hi:

[kentauros]

9. Maybe they should also try not drinking the water,

not using the roads and not using the sewers.

I want to see how long they can hold it in :P

[LadyoftheRabbits]

10. *snort*

Good idea. :P

[Ava]

16. oh yeah, i've gotten plenty of nasty ones

this one was nice, just silly. ;)

[Orrex]

5. I was going to say 'please stop broadcasting my private correspondence,' but...

The person's views are so abhorrent that I don't want to claim them even in jest.

You have a wild cross-section of readers, that's for sure...

[av8rdave]

6. Thanks...with that eloquent explanation of the world, I understand it much better

sheesh!

[Pierre.Suave]

7. That person needs some english classes

and some grammar lessons...

[kentauros]

12. And punctuation lessons!

!

[kentauros]

8. I want "les government" too!

i.e., French style :D

[SammyWinstonJack]

40. !

:evilgrin:

[nickgutierrez]

11. Could that possibly have been more condescending? n/t

[Ava]

17. yes, i'll have to post some of my others when i get him

i have plenty that basically start with "listen here, girl!"

[Lyric]

13. I love how they go from "The government doesn't respect our individual rights!"

to "I want the government to stop fucking respecting the individual rights of women, dammit!"

:rofl:

God, what an idiot.

[ismnotwasm]

14. Sad

I knew someone like that. He ended up with a serious medical condition, lost his job, and had to be "supported" by the government for a while. Even when he had an excellent job, he had started that second family, being divorced from the first and all, and wasn't quite right with child support payments. Very convoluted logic on what and when he should pay, but had no problem makin' more babies with what was that? An active lifestyle. He COULD have chosen to keep his pecker in his pants, but I doubt that end of the equation ever, ever, ever occurred to him.

It ended up to be quite a habit with him, being supported by the government that is.


He became even more of a wing nut, a conspiracy theorist type with a total lack of compassion for others and absolutely no insight into, well anything.

[Danger Mouse]

15. So, to sum it up...

'I want to control women's lives because I am a dumb asshat.'

[Ava]

19. exactly, but your forgot to add

"and i like to shoot shit" :rofl:

[TZ]

18. So the moment a woman becomes pregnant

she loses all rights as a person..But don't you dare infringe on my right to kill! Hypocrite.

[Aristus]

20. We didn't have government before the Articles Of Confederation?

The ghosts of all those colonial assemblymen would be dismayed to hear that. :eyes:

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Sounds like a fairly typical conservative.

I almost feel like any kind of response to that, no matter how cordial, would be mean, just for making him feel like an idiot.

[Ava]

22. i don't bother responding to stuff like this

i get so many emails each day, and there's always some like this. i can't even respond to all of the nice and positive ones, let alone these. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

38. I need to get off my ass and get my blog more well known so I can get hate mail and the like.

It seems oddly fun.

[LeftinOH]

23. The writer's advice to the ladies: Either get pregnant or be abstinent..

those seem to be the only options available. And this was definitely written by a man.

[Orsino]

24. "...She should think about that before choosing an active lifestyle."

For someone so unwilling to think about the matter after impregnation, this rube certainly seems to be an adept mind-reader, able to divine the "lifestyle" of a complete stranger.

Let's call it what it is: this rube wants sex punished by pregnancy, with no exceptions.

[old mark]

27. Oh! I thought he meant like playing tennis and stuff.......nt

[Arugula Latte]

30. You can get pregnant from playing tennis. Squash, too.

And don't even THINK about racquetball.

[old mark]

48. I try never to think about raquetteball, but sometimes

it just overwhelms me.....


mark

[DinahMoeHum]

25. Ava, have you ever read Joe Bageant's book "Deer Hunting With Jesus"?

www.joebageant.com

Joe Bageant's subjects were/are people like your e-mail writer.

[Left Is Write]

26. He (an dthis is definitely a he!) needs to realize that you can't simultaneously

demand less "government control of individual rights" and insist that women have no right to autonomy over their own bodies.

[PVnRT]

28. FAIL on the Founding Fathers myth

The Founding Fathers wanted a government that would allow trade to be unfettered, to enrich the shipping interests in New England that were the huge backers of the Revolution. That we got what we did in the Constitution and Bill of Rights is amazing when you think about it.

[kentauros]

29. Now, why wasn't I taught that in all the history classes I had over the years?

I don't remember anything like that. I'm not doubting your knowledge, in fact, I embrace it, but why can't schools embrace it, too? It seems to me that information like that would make history all the more fascinating to learn :)

[Radical Activist]

31. So he acknowledges

that the Constitution was ratified to create a stronger central government than what existed under the articles of confederation, but yet he still believes the founders didn't want "stronger government." huh. interesting.

[Marrah_G]

32. At least they were polite.........

[no name no slogan]

33. "I want a double cheeseburger and a Sherman tank"

This guy's an inspiration. I could think of all sorts of crazy crapola to want. :)

[tigereye]

34. well, at least they were polite...

:)

[KamaAina]

35. Les Government is still at large???

I thought they got him years ago! :scared:

[geardaddy]

43. Yep, but he changed his name...

to Les Moore.

[kentauros]

44. More or less

:P

[KamaAina]

47. "Here lies Les Moore..."

"Four slugs from a .44
No Les
no more."

-actual tombstone inscription somewhere in the West!

[lizerdbits]

37. Best of luck to him

finding something other than Rosie Palmer.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

39. So he can shoot them when they become adults?

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

41. Well at least he said it in a tactful way.

He states what he beleives even if I don't agree. He didn't seem to attack you. However, I wish he believed differently.

[geardaddy]

42. Eejit...

First we had no government and that was no good...

Right, it was anarchy during Colonial times. :eyes:

[Iggo]

45. I swear I was going "Aw..." the whole time I read that.

All I could think of was that Su Chin girl from that "Juno" movie.

ETA: It kills me to say this, but at least the responder was being nice. That was refreshing.

[Phillycat]

46. "Active lifestyle" sounds like you are 67 and drinking a lot of Ensure.

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

51. The letter writer is clearly afraid of the phrase "sexually active"

and can't bring himself to type the S-E-X word.

[Redneck Socialist]

49. At least they were polite

Wrong headed as they are at least they were nice about it. I'm sure you've gotten scads of emails from the more vitriolic, less coherent part of the family though.

[Brewman_Jax]

50. What they want to see...

:hide:

[Jamastiene]

52. Yeah, they want the children to be born so they can do target practice on them.

like the couple in Gastonia got caught doing recently. Could you tell if that was written from the Gaston County, NC jail?
