| Joshua Boston, Our Special Patriot Of The Week |
Yesterday's blog seems to have touched a nerve or two with
the American Taliban, so in keeping with tradition, we here at NFTOS aim to
please, [which is pissing of the right] more on this "special patriot",
Joshua Boston.
Since it is fifteen minutes of fame that he seeks, we shall
oblige him.
"Patriotism"
has always been the last refuge of scoundrels, and in this case, Josh fits this
bill to a "T".
Between the
Patriot Act and the rise of the tea baggers, the term "patriot" shall forever carry the connotation for
members of this political body, who promote intolerance, hate and oppression
against anyone who is not of this radical culture, lifestyle, religion, ethnic
heritage, or political ideology.
When Josh was asked if he thought there should be any change
in gun laws after the recent mass shootings in America, he responded that there
were already extensive gun laws in place. “The fact of the matter is predators
are amongst us and we have to recognize that fact,” he said. “Our citizens have
to be armed to protect themselves from these mad men.”
Spoken like a true "patriot"! The American Taliban claiming to be patriots - when they
clearly do not support the government or the rule of law, is like saying
Napoleon Bonaparte was a great hero - for he thought he was being a
"special patriot" as well.
The American
Taliban says they are misunderstood lot. Of course they support the rule of
law. That is what they are about, law abiding citizens. They are defenders of
the constitution. They do not support overarching by federal government. It is
limited government that they seek, not the abolishment of it. Yes, true, but only
when it suits them.
Only when it
comes to regulating vagina's do they overreach, and disenfranchising voters,
and equal pay for women, when corporations are not humans, when repealing
affordable healthcare, when taking down unions and teachers, yes these are only
a smattering of times when these special patriots become un-glued and radical -
when they become "true patriots".
Boston's intent was to [as all gun huggers do] hide behind
the second amendment. Boston is trying to appeal to a sentiment, and he
espouses the same infantile binary morality that LaPierre did in his infamous
"press conference." He blames Newtown on an "evil man,"
when that is ridiculously simplistic, as well as only a small minute part of
the problem. Boston adheres to the NRA diatribe that "only good guys with
guns can stop bad guys with guns." This sheer stupidity of this
"special patriot" is a quality only attributed to these unlettered
Americans - that this kind of thinking - that somehow this antiquated right applies to circa 2013.
Boston's misunderstanding of the Constitution also hurts the
argument immenesley. Boston's letter more aligns himself with the "sovereign citizen" [like the Bill Looman's
of the world, no Bill we haven't forgot about you]
movement, which really isn't doing much for his argument. His extremist opinion
and extremist solutions unfortunately overshadows his intent, which means that any
true patriots will unlikely fail to listen to his vituperation.
He's not doing any favors to his cause: he's kind of just shot himself in the
foot.
When do Boston and his kind learn - that they are not the
kind of patriots that we admire? In most cases its usually the brain-dead oxygen thief's whining
about the US Constitution - who have absolutely little understanding of the US Constitution.
Mr. Boston is just one special American, who chooses to display his ignorance
to millions via CNN. Congratulations Joshua Boston, you are today's winner of the
"special patriot" of the week award.
