It’s often said that a liberal is a conservative who hasn’t been mugged. True story. After a close encounter with a knife-wielding thug, the fog of utopianism clouding my world view began to lift. It took a long time to emerge from the miasma of well-intentioned elitism created by the authority figures of my youth. But I can see clearly now their reign has gone. Like comedian and million dollar Obama supporter Bill Maher I don’t think I like what I see.

A gun. Many guns. Millions of guns. For all his intellectual firepower, professed love of liberty and comedic chutzpah, men like Maher are like deer caught in the headlights. Even when they see it coming they can’t bring themselves to get the hell out of the way. Which is about all you can expect from any Jew who doesn’t understand the meaning of the words “never again.”
