‘Puter wrote about Ms. Gunn Barrett’s dipstickery on the topic of New York’s unconstitutional SAFE Act yesterday. ‘Puter would like to revisit Ms. Gunn Barrett’s logic-challenged and fallacious letter to make a larger point about the quality of liberal thought today.

Ms. Gunn Barrett’s letter makes an argument ‘Puter hears more and more from the Left these days. Because a law liberals favor has been enacted, it is thus forever unassailable without regard to the law’s effectiveness or constitutionality.

That’s ‘Puter’s version of liberals’ “shut up and obey already, stupid deltas” argument. Here is Ms. Gunn Barrett in her own tightly scripted, ghostwritten words:

And law-abiding gun owners should comply with a law that was passed by a bipartisan Legislature, is supported by a broad majority of New Yorkers and has been in effect for 15 months.

Furthermore, the SAFE Act has been ruled constitutional by both federal and state courts despite vigorous efforts by the corporate gun lobby to block it.

‘Puter’s going to give you a breakdown of liberalism’s current go to argument’s logic.

Clearly, liberals have found the one truly irrefutable argument. ‘Puter cannot assail the unassailable, he’s just not that bright. So ‘Puter guesses he’ll just have to resort to the only problem solving method that got him through Algebra II/Trigonometry in his Jesuit high school days: plug and chug.**

• Liberals in a deeply blue state favor regulation of a constitutional right.
• The constitutional right is exercised primarily by conservatives.
• The constitutional right is strongly disfavored within the deeply blue state.
• Liberal legislators draft a sloppy, deeply flawed law banning exercise of a significant portion of the constitutional right.
• Conservatives sue to overturn the unconstitutional law with some very limited success.
• The law has been in effect for less than two years and has had no appreciable effect on crime rates.
• The law has engendered widespread disregard for the law among otherwise law abiding citizens, many of whom have refused to comply with the law’s onerous and confiscatory diktats.
• Liberals state this deeply flawed, short lived law, crammed through the legislature using chicanery and upheld by elected judges beholden to liberals for campaign funds, is unassailable.

Liberals know they cannot win the argument on the merits, so they resort to claiming the matter is settled and therefore not a suitable topic of debate any longer. Liberals know sympathetic media will cover for them, but this argument assumes Americans will ignore its numerous glaring fallacies.

Liberals would never, ever permit conservatives to steal the bases liberals have were the tables turned. Consider, for example, liberal media darling Wendy Davis’ “abortion now, abortion tomorrow, abortion forever” attempted filibuster of a moderately restrictive abortion law in the Texas Senate. Liberals screamed that requiring abortionists to maintain clean facilities and be adequately trained was akin to raping women. Liberals also ranted that requiring a woman to decide five months after having consensual sex whether or not to kill her child was an undue burden, completely ignoring the undue burden death causes the child. If liberals were consistent, conservatives could have simply claimed “it’s the law,” and liberals would have had to admit defeat and move on.

But liberals aren’t consistent. The only consistency in a liberal’s mind is that liberal ideas are the greatest good, to be protected at all costs. The most reprehensible means are justified by great liberal ends achieved.

Take ObamaCare, a law so bad it had to be crammed through Congress without a single Republican vote using procedural trickery and bribes to drag its bloated corpse to Obama’s desk for signature. Americans now know what many of us said for years. ObamaCare’s a bad law, damaging to our country’s health care system, bankrupting to middle class Americans and fiscally unsustainable in the long term. Worse, Americans now know Obama lied through his teeth not only to get the law passed, but to prevent massive Congressional losses in the 2012 elections.

Sure, Obamacare’s a horrible law. And sure, Obama and the Democrats knew when they passed it the law sucked. But ObamaCare can’t be changed. It’s the law. Just ask Obama and his catamites in the White House Press Corps.

So let’s let Democrats and liberals have their argument. We can politely remind them of some other things that, by virtue of their logic, are law and must immediately be reinstated.

• Slavery
• Segregation
• Poll taxes
• Disenfranchised women and minorities
• Prohibition of alcohol
• Prohibition of interracial marriage
• Prohibition of gay marriage
• Prohibition of birth control
• Prohibition of abortion
• No federal income taxes
• No federal administrative agencies
• No New Deal programs
• No Great Society programs

‘Puter could go on like this for hours. Suffice it to say, liberals don’t really believe “it’s the law” is an acceptable argument. How does ‘Puter know this? Because if liberals actually believed their crappy logic, courts would immediately strike down a great many laws and programs liberals worship as false gods because “it’s the law.”

When liberals say “it’s the law,” what they really mean is “shut up, obey us and ignore the horrendous mess that our ideas have wrought.”

It’s pathetic, but “shut up” is the only argument liberals have to defend the indefensible.

'Puter

Always right, unless he isn’t, the infallible Ghettoputer F. X. Gormogons claims to be an in-law of the Volgi, although no one really believes this.

’Puter carefully follows economic and financial trends, legal affairs, and serves as the Gormogons’ financial and legal advisor. He successfully defended us against a lawsuit from a liquor distributor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid deliveries of bootleg shandies.

The Geep has an IQ so high it is untestable and attempts to measure it have resulted in dangerously unstable results as well as injuries to researchers. Coincidentally, he publishes intelligence tests as a side gig.

His sarcasm is so highly developed it borders on the psychic, and he is often able to insult a person even before meeting them. ’Puter enjoys hunting small game with 000 slugs and punt guns, correcting homilies in real time at Mass, and undermining unions. ’Puter likes to wear a hockey mask and carry an axe into public campgrounds, where he bursts into people’s tents and screams. As you might expect, he has been shot several times but remains completely undeterred.

He assures us that his obsessive fawning over news stories involving women teachers sleeping with young students is not Freudian in any way, although he admits something similar once happened to him. Uniquely, ’Puter is unable to speak, read, or write Russian, but he is able to sing it fluently.

Geep joined the order in the mid-1980s. He arrived at the Castle door with dozens of steamer trunks and an inarticulate hissing creature of astonishingly low intelligence he calls “Sleestak.” Ghettoputer appears to make his wishes known to Sleestak, although no one is sure whether this is the result of complex sign language, expert body posture reading, or simply beating Sleestak with a rubber mallet.

‘Puter suggests the Czar suck it.
