Lefties tell us that banning marijuana and other drugs is pointless, because people will obtain them anyway and because Mexican cartels become rich and powerful as a result.
In their next breath they tell us that we should ban guns, because most lefties have the IQ of a turnip – and have no respect for the US Constitution, US history or any common sense.
I’m still stunned at this…
“Major Victory In Illinois! Court Rules Ban on Right to Carry UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!”

Maybe Chicagoans are finally tired of being easy prey.
Chicago had a gun ban since 1982 until 2011. There seems to be a correlation as murder using guns increased under the ban. 🙂

So ban alcohol, the most deadly narcotic known.
Drug legalization has deeper conservative roots than liberal ones but you ignore this fact in order to obtain the right to sneer.
Why do you besmirch the good name of turnips? I have eaten turnips with a higher functional IQ than 97+% of the climate alarmists. Over its entire life span, the turnip acted exactly as if it were a turnip with full devotion to his cause of continuing to grow as a turnip. It in no way advocated that other turnips should not similarly grow. It was pure live and let live as suggested in The Declaration of Independence.
The climate alarmists, while superficially appearing to be human, advocate the destruction of what it means to be a human by restricting mankind’s use of energy to the sun and wind. According to them, not only can mankind not continue to advance, they must regress to the status of a stone age tribal existence of some 20,000 years ago. No self respecting turnip would demand such a thing.
Lionell, Steve didn’t besmirch turnips. Note his careful phrasing:
“…most lefties have the IQ of a turnip.
“Lefties” is plural, and turnip is singular. So his meaning is that most lefties combined have the IQ of one turnip. Which is right.
I am not so sure of that. At least not on the basis I argued.
Individually or collectively, lefties fail to act as fully functional humans. They work hard to destroy the producers of wealth who’s product they expect to take to sustain themselves. They are attempting to live by a contradiction and cannot ultimately succeed. The choice is us as first to go and them second or them first with the rest of us continuing to enjoy an advancing technological civilization.
However, I suggest his statement was semantically ambiguous and could be interpreted as either a one to one or a many to one comparison. Either way, the turnip comes out on top.
I propose that we should have a survey of all appropriately qualified registered turnips to determine whether there is a consensus of opinion on whether the IQ of a warmista Taliban operative is tending towards that of A turnip. This could be carried out at the next turnip harvest.
Since it is related to science climate, could we get a grant for that? I suspect it would take at least $500,000 because we have to interview turnips all over the world to get a global opinion. Although, since I am a professional software engineer, I could write a simulation and project the result for only half that much. If simulations are good enough for the leftists to claim what they claim, then a simulation is good enough for me.
The program would take your input estimate and multiply it by a random number between 2.3 and 6.5. Then compare that result to the input. If the result is greater than the input, the program will print “It is worse than we thought.”
It should take me not much more than four months on the beach at some exotic warm place near the equator to write and test the program.
Darn, I didn’t know one had to “obtain” rights to sneering. I sorta thought you could just, you know sneer. Are there punishments for sneering without the right to sneer? Who dishes out these rights? Do you have to pay for them like carbon credits?
Due to having a low IQ, turnips are an endangered species, unable to adapt to .1 degrees of warming. Same goes for lefties.
I agree with the other commentaries on this post Steve. Your turnip bashing is unacceptable and getting out of control.
Since Turnips are a member of the Cabbage family, this has staggering implications. 😉
Here is a great mathematical examination that science guys here will like.
‘Gun ownership has no correlation with murder rates’

Facts don’t matter to anti-gun weenies.
What about accidental gun deaths?
& stairs. Can’t leave out how many people die every year failing to correctly negotiate stairs.
Autos are king, get rid of the carbon spewing autos and we get a twofer. They won’t kill people in accidents and the carbon they spew will be gone. By golly we will make this world safe if it kills us.
