Liberals Want You to Lie Down and Be a Victim

by Matt Walsh

“Liberalism wants you to be a victim. It’s as simple as that. Dr. Ben Carson discovered this last week when he was roundly criticized for radically suggesting Jews in Nazi Germany may have fared better if they weren’t unarmed and helpless.

First, in a book published recently, Carson said this:

German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s, and by the mid-1940s Hitler’s regime had mercilessly slaughtered six million Jews and numerous others whom they considered inferior … Through a combination of removing guns and disseminating deceitful propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance.

Then on Thursday, CNN asked him to explain his comments, because “it’s harder to kill people when they can kill you back” is apparently a difficult concept to grasp. Carson elaborated, saying:

I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed. There’s a reason these dictatorial people take the guns first.

This is not remotely offensive or outrageous. There’s nothing wrong with discussing how a tragic event might have been avoided. In fact, I’d argue the opposite is the case. Yet, per tradition, liberals found a reason to feel personally injured by these rather obvious and uncontroversial remarks. Whining and indignation grew on social media and the blogosphere, and we were all treated to some really bizarre headlines like this one:

“Ben Carson says guns may have stopped Holocaust”

Uh. Well. Yes… and? Obviously guns not only could have stopped the Holocaust but did. The Nazis didn’t just get bored one day and stop. A bunch of men with guns marched on Nazi armies and righteously slaughtered them. With guns (and bombs and tanks). Men with guns used their guns to convert living Nazis into dead Nazis. This is how people like Nazis are beaten. You kill them. With guns. Is anyone actually suggesting otherwise?”
