My father’s paternal grandfather – a Russian capitalist who built up a small inherited business into a prosperous one employing roughly 50 men (i.e. supporting 50 families) over several decades of back-breaking work, and who used part of the profits to build 14 houses to rent out – not only had all of his property stolen at gunpoint by Russian Leftists (A.K.A. Communists) but later, as a broken 74-year-old man, was deemed such a mortal threat to Josef Stalin’s regime that he was hauled into an NKVD prison, where he was beaten so badly that he died shortly after being released (just like Otto Warmbier and his North Korean experience). On my mother’s side, German Leftists (A.K.A. Nazis) and their fellow travelers murdered roughly 100 of my grandparent’s aunts, uncles and assorted cousins from 1939-45.<br /><br />I have studied the Leftists, in all of their guises, for most of my life – and I know with metaphysical certainty that they and their mindless ideology have been the single greatest source of evil and misery in all of human history. As such, I will NEVER, EVER submit to these morons – they may kill me, but they’ll have to carefully negotiate their way to my body over a sea of empty brass cases in order to take my weapons. My family may be victimized by these evil bastards yet again…but it won’t be for free this time."A Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110656825346789908noreply@blogger.com
