On Thursday, Kurt Schlichter lit up the anti-gun left and progressives in general with a scorching-hot opinion piece at Townhall in which he states that liberals “hate you.”

“The progressives are cranking things up to 11 on the Stupid/Psycho Scale, which is good for us in the short term – some of us Normals were growing complacent and the midterms are coming. But we also need to open our eyes and accept the bitter reality we face. We can’t just pretend the truth is not the truth because we wish it were otherwise. The left’s dropping of its mask has demonstrated once again the undeniable fact. The left hates you,” he began.

He added:

Just give them a listen. Those carefully selected moppet puppets are out there on TV telling Normals “We are going to outlive you.” When leftists tell you that you are going to die first, you should believe they mean it. They have a track record of making that happen.

And then there is the new meme, that the NRA is a “terrorist” organization. This means you are a “terrorist” simply by advocating for your political views. Think about that. Labeling your political opponents as “terrorists” – gee, that can’t end badly. Violence against and suppression of terrorists is okay, isn’t it? And when this ploy works with guns, it will happen with the next right the left wants to take from us.

How’s that blood on your hands? Sure, you were thousands of miles away, and your AR-15 – like the 14,999,999 other AR-15s out there – never shot up a school, but just believing in the Second Amendment makes you a non-human. Those of us who know something about history know that the people leftists regard as non-human always tend to end up non-living.

He’s absolutely correct about that. Consider abortion, for example, or do a search on the run-up to the Holocaust.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

He also suggests the left really doesn’t hate the National Rifle Association. Instead, he says, “The NRA stuff is a distraction. Leftists are dumb, but they understand the power of the NRA is really the power of millions of Normal Americans coming together to defend their right to protect themselves, their families, their communities and their Constitution. That’s why they fear it. That’s why they can’t abide it. They want your voices silenced.”

And, he adds:

And the left doesn’t hate guns either. In fact, the progressives fully intend to be the only group left with any guns. That should turn out great for us.

At best, the government that they promise will protect us will make excuses why they can’t see red flags waving and why they can’t be expected to actually protect us. Liberals have just come out foursquare in favor of police cowardice; their argument is you don’t need guns to protect yourself, and you certainly can’t expect a Democrat-run law enforcement agency like the Broward Sheriff’s Office to protect you because that would be scary to the poor government workers. Where does that leave you? You can’t protect yourself, and in return, no one from the government will protect you either. That whole outliving talk looks more and more sinister every day.

There’s plenty more, here, and it certainly deserves to be read — every last word…

Schlichter’s op-ed even sparked a trend on Twitter.

A very harsh truth. Liberals truly do hate anyone that disagrees with them. Being a Conservative and 2A supporter. They Hate You. With every fiber of their being they hate you. Don't ever forget it either. https://t.co/MZLBL40cOe

If you are white or stand for American values, the one thing you can count on from the left is that "They Hate You" and all you stand for.
