I’m Jewish, so I won’t be celebrating Jesus’ resurrection today. But I will be taking the time to consider the concept of rebirth. Not just because Spring is springing, threatening to turn my cherry tree into a psychedelic celebration of seasonal awakening. But also because now is the winter of our discontent (not to coin a phrase). Assault weapons bans, firearms registration, ammunition magazine capacity limits, mental health checks—liberty’s light continues to dim and flicker in blue states throughout the country. During these dark, difficult and dangerous days, Easter reminds us to cast our eyes backwards, to honor those who sacrificed themselves to free us from fear. Fear of tyrants. Fear of slavery. Fear of death itself. Their sacrifice informs our resolve. Our fortitude. Our stamina. We know that some things never die. And we thank God for that.

    • I have visions of a row of Peeps at a shooting gallery…

      EDIT: Oh – watched the video. Great minds…

  6. “I’m Jewish, so I won’t be celebrating Jesus’ resurrection today.” correct me if I’m wrong but is’nt that sentence a Bit of a contradiction ? also”During these dark, difficult and dangerous days, Easter reminds us to cast our eyes backwards, to honor those who sacrificed themselves to free us from fear. Fear of tyrants. Fear of slavery. Fear of death itself. Their sacrifice informs our resolve. Our fortitude. Our stamina. We know that some things never die. And we thank God for that.” again correct me if I wrong but I don’t think Easter was meant for that! Are you trying to look like an ass?

    • Christ gave his life So that we can have eternal life. That is a gift for those who believe in him… those who don’t?… Have A Happy Easter.

    • Sigh… Robert tells us once a week that he’s Jewish. Easter, Jesus and egg hunts have no place in Judaism. So I would think ANYONE could understand that he comes from a different religious perspective, one that does not incorporate your own.

      Or were you just trying to go Alpha Gorilla on this site’s founder? Make yourself some chamomile tea.

      • Nice Christian/holiday/understanding others touch, Rectal-SphincterMan.

        YOU are no ‘Christian.’ You are a sorry poseur.

        So Then I will say it as often as I like. You Just had to go there, didn’t you.

  7. Slo mo showed that .50 projectile off course and nose up after just a few peeps. These damn disgusting things turned a .50 bmg round and people try to eat them. I’m going to make a tactical vest out of peeps. It’ll be lighter and cheaper than factory bought body armor. And much more colorful.

  8. The Easter sentiments you expressed could be used for Columbus Day, Boxer Day, or Mothers Day. Easter is unique–the true beauty in Easter is that it is not looking back to death, doom, and gloom, but rather, looking forward to life. We have hope because of Easter.

  11. Are you sure thats a cherry tree, lol. My hope is for a peacefull USA & that involves almost everyone packin, thanks for the help Robert, Randy

    • Full name: Yeshua ben David. Jesus was the Latinization of his name. Jesus would have spoken a native dialect, and may have known Greek and Latin but would never have called himself by a foreign name. Especially since the Romans were despised by most of the natives to whom he was preaching.

    • Sorry, for your uninformed information, Yeshua is not Jewish. He was Hebrew.Jesus being Jewish is an oximoron… nice try though.

      • Blah-huh?! Hebrew isn’t the same as Jewish?!

        That’s like saying Darth Vader couldn’t be Luke’s father because Luke’s father was name Anakin.

        Yes, they are the same thing. I know I’m not supposed to feed the trolls, but I have to at least correct their obvious falsehoods since punching them in the balls isn’t a practictal option.

        • Jesus condemned the power structure in place at the time that valued strict adherence to the law over faith in God, yes, but only a delusional bigot would take that to mean that He condemned his own people.

          And think what I’m trying to say is piss off, you delusional bigot.

        • He was a nazarene. If you new the difference between Christianity and Judaism, you would realize that Jesus death and resurrection would have not been necessary if he was a Jew. Hope you can become a critical thinker on this and realize the extent of the sacrifice. If Judaism was the way. How can Jesus be the way? Makes no sense that he was a Jew. A Galilean yes, a Nazarene yes, a Jew no. Hebrew is a culture, Judaism is a religion. Jesus did not preach Judaism… Thus not s Jew.

  16. The left thinks it would be a mistake to let a good crisis go to waste.

    The Buddha said each mistake is a rebirth.

    Don’t you want to get reborn?
