Deprived Daughters
We are all blessed with daughters. We provided them with Barbies (timeless), Cabbage Patch Kids, Pound Puppies, and Rainbow Brite (not so timeless). But did we give them what every little girl really needs?
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem won the prize (and retired the trophy) for Grandmother of the Millennium last week. Speaking at the NRA Convention (acres of guns and gear!), Kristi boasted on her 2 year old granddaughter, Addie. “Addie soon will need certain things. I want to reassure you that she already has a shotgun and she already has a rifle. And she’s getting a pony named Sparkles, too. So the girl is all set up.”
“Your pony is coming, Addie. We gave you the important things first — a shotgun and a rifle. We are sure that you can handle a weapon that is physically larger than you are. We are sure that there can be no unintended consequences when a two year old waves a loaded weapon around. If you think you are being bullied at Nursery School, blow that bully away. We have Stand Your Ground laws here in South Dakota.”
Speaking of South Dakota laws, Governor Kristi signed an executive order to “protect the God-given right to keep and bear arms from being infringed on by financial institutions” right there on the NRA stage. South Dakota state agencies can no longer do business with banks appearing on the NRA Legislative Action Leadership Forum Hit List. Governor Kristi stated, “It’s not just the media and big government that are attacking our second amendment rights. Now we have banks going after law-abiding gun owners (Is there any other kind?). Well, not on my watch. I won’t stand for it, not in South Dakota.”
“Mr Banker, I need a $5,000 loan for AR-15s and ammo. My Credit Rating is lower than a snake’s belly. I’m unemployed. I haven’t paid my mortgage or utility bills for months now. But if you don’t give me that loan, I will report you to the NRA and you will lose all your South Dakota State Government accounts.”
Little Addie is “all set up” and so are credit-seeking gun owners in South Dakota.
