| Liberalism Killed The Old West |
Back in the Old West a contract was sealed by a handshake. A man’s word meant something. Good character was a valued commodity. A man’s reputation followed him from town to town.
People had a good grasp on human nature back then. They never wavered when a wrong was done to another.
In the Old West you would be shot for stealing a man’s horse. No arrest. No trials, judge or jury. No need to fire a warning shot. No need to first yell, “Hey! Take your hands off Nellie-Bell!” Nope. You simply took out your pistol and put a bullet through the horse thief’s head.
You didn’t have to file papers, arrange for court dates and hire an expensive lawyer to plead your case after you shot him either. You had a right to protect what belonged to you. Everyone knew it. Everyone agreed.
If a thug with a butcher knife and lusty feelings for your daughter crept into your cabin in the dark of night, you plugged him. You didn’t have to wonder if using a gun against a butcher knife was considered excessive force. You had a right to protect your family against all invaders to your homestead.
They didn’t have many laws back in the Old West. They didn’t need many. Homesteaders knew right from wrong. It was wrong to steal a horse or break into a man’s cabin and assault his daughter, and that was that.
But something happened.
The concept of good and evil began to mystify the liberal minded. They questioned the fairness of a bullet against a blade. They wondered if Billy-Bob actually meant harm by breaking into your cabin while you slept. Wasn’t it possible, the liberals argued, that Billy-Bob was too drunk to realize what he was doing. I mean, if a tree falls in the forest and you weren’t there to hear it, prove that it made a noise. Wasn’t it possible that Billy-Bob mistook your home for his own? The knife? Well, … ummmm…. he might not have realized the knife was in his hand. You know how confused Billy-Bob gets when he’s drunk.
Then the liberals started looking at Billy-Bob’s childhood, recalling the times his papa smacked him with a willow branch. Could it be possible that Billy-Bob was damaged from the start? Could it be that his papa was really responsible for his son trying to commit the rape? How can Billy-Bob be held accountable for the sickness in his own head when it was put there by his father?
Liberal citizens questioned whether a handshake was a binding contract between two parties. They began speaking gibberish, using double-talk to confuse the upright and to protect Billy-Bob.
They took advantage of the chaos created by their own hands. They became lawyers.
A decent man’s promise and character got lost in the murky waters created by the liberal lawyers.
Meanwhile, Billy-Bob searched for easier prey, setting his eyes on the younger children who played in the schoolyard. He sent to the big city for girly magazines. He hid them under his bed. He diddled two-dozen children before he was caught.
Mindless people who were too used to the sewer conditions created by the liberals, caught the liberal’s disease. They began leaning to the left.
They raced to Billy-Bob’s defense, supporting the lawyers argument that Billy-Bob was a sick individual who shouldn’t be jailed for a sickness. He had a legal right to view the girly magazines. He couldn’t be held responsible because it was the magazines that made him diddle the town’s children. It was the magazine company’s fault, not Billy-Bob‘s.
Decent people wanted children protected from the magazines, but the liberals argued that such an act would infringe on everyone’s Constitutional right to view them. Decency got lost in the muck and mire of red tape and bureaucracy. The liberal lawyers used the Constitution to promote smut and protect lawlessness.
Today we have tons of laws. A handshake is worth spit. A good man’s word is worthless and doesn‘t stand up in court.
We don’t need more laws, fewer laws, bigger laws or smaller laws. What we need are more men of good character, those who don’t call evil good, and good evil.
And we need less liberals.
