THE DAILY FUDD: E265: “Liberty Doll VIDEO: ‘Gun Shop Refuses Sale to Antifa Member.’”

“Liberty Doll” has a tendency to go uber-libertarian and lose judgment. She even backed a fellow who purchased one of those “Chinese fuel filters” and seemed to be genuinely trying to convince people. he didn’t know it was actually a suppressor.

Here, though, she is very much on target. Indeed she has seemed to improve some lately, though, at least acknowledging a wisdom in considering a person’s intent in regard to RKBA, even if the title is clickbait. (Link HERE for that one — with a great top on her, BTW. And yes, I’m a pig.)

——


MY COMMENT: “This shows why purism in RKBA and “freedom” is inherently self-destructive. Had the shop owner sold the weapon, he would’ve been contributing to the very force that opposes the culture and civilization that enables him to be in business.

“2A and RKBA support a purpose. They are not a purpose in and of themselves. That purpose – the maintenance of our heritage and Western civilization – must come first, or they themselves will perish.

“Situations such as this are judgment calls. What sort of precedent is set, and there’s any negative aspect of that precedent overrule the immediate benefit of the action – the action here being denying a weapon to a domestic enemy? In this case, given that our enemies would do the same to us regardless, this was a good call.”

OFF TOPIC (but almost on): Argentinian “karma” — Two (Country-esque?) covers of the Culture Club tune.

As a total non-musician, I have wondered if “Karma Chameleon” might have potential for a Country cover. Notwithstanding its origin and original focus, having a female voice, and of course some redoing of the instrumentals, might make it suitable for a direct Country appeal. 

Indeed “Boy George,” who wrote the song, noted that the other band members did not like it at first, because they thought that – get this – it sounded too much like a Country song! Their video probably contributed to this sense.

Below are two covers by bands from Argentina which I believe bring some of this out. Included are my comments on those postings, an additional thought, and pertinent additional material.

IRONICA:

ROMANTIC & BLUE:


An additional thought, based on this second cover, is that perhaps simply having a female voice for the bridge alone would be sufficient for Country appeal. You’d be the judge.

And, of course, the original group’s performance at a Country bar on “The A-Team”:
