Always someone who can be counted on as being the voice of reason and sanity, we now have Nation of Islam leader, 'Calypso Louie' Farrakhan, choosing to ridicule, in what's being described as the third installment of his 52-week sermon series, the "volatile" American right to own weapons. It was on this past Sunday as Louie continued with his "The Time and What Must Be Done" sermon series that he presented his rather insane theory that Americans because of he fact that they are increasingly angry at the government, are also now simultaneously preparing themselves for war. Louie went on to say that the Second Amendment has little relevance in modern society, stating that the constitutional right to bear arms is outdated. Demonstrating that he possesses zero knowledge in this area, he said, "See, the right to bear arms was given at a time when there was no regulated militia to protect America," he said. "But now you have police well-armed, you have state troopers well-armed, you have the National Guard and you have federal troops."
Because such a description of what lies behind the creation of the Second Amendment, makes it very obvious, very quickly, that Louie is completely lacking when it comes to our Constitution. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the section of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And it purpose has nothing to do with providing to the American people away of defending themselves against one another. It was designed as being that last line of defense for the people against a tyrannical government. Louis said that one reason Americans are buying weapons is their anger at the government. "Look at the American peoples’ thoughts about Congress. What is the percentage of the American people that feel that the U.S. Congress is doing a good job? Eleven percent," said Louie. "Then 89 percent of the American people are angry, disaffected, dissatisfied with their government — and you’re selling them weapons of war and the militias are multiplying."
Louie caused a bit if a controversy with a sermon earlier this month when he labeled Americans as being a "savage" and violent populace that was predicted in the Bible. "This nation has been built on violence," Louie said in the Jan. 13 sermon. "Uncivilized, uncultivated, brutal, wild…and that’s why the prophet gave America one of those names as a beast — both of the book of Daniel and in the book of Revelations." You know, this is another guy who takes great pleasure in presenting to people, people who for whatever bizarre reason look up to this kook, his own cockeyed view of what this country is. And he's another who paints it not as the force for good that it has been throughout its relatively brief existence, historically speaking. He, and those like him, prefer to describe this country as being nothing more than a source of all manner of unspeakable evil and one that deserves to be punished. It's pretty sad that knocking down one's own country is the only means that losers like Louis have for building themselves up.
Have you ever stopped to consider just how much better race relations would be in this country were it not for such sleazy characters like old 'Calypso Louie' out there spewing all manner of what equates to nothing more than some of the most toxic hate imaginable? And something else that has always struck me as being more than just a little odd, is the fact that most, if not all, of those who work 24/7 in their effort to stir up as much conflict as possible between the races are nearly always supposed men of God. Whether it’s Louie or Al 'Bull Horn' Sharpton, or Jesse ' The Extortionist' Jackson or Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright, all have their names preceded by a title that tells the world that their chosen profession is one of spreading the word of God. But that's not what they do. It's like they're taking part in some cruel masquerade or something. Because how can an individual, any individual, so literally consumed, as these men obviously are, by such a level intense hatred, actually profess to preach the word of God, any God?
