According To The New York Times, Husbands Are Deadlier Than Terrorists. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Oh boy! Just what I want on Valentine’s Day! The New York Times blowing feminist BS out its fart-hole.

(And yes, I just called it a fart-hole. Because deep down in my heart of hearts, I am twelve.)

The Fishwrap of Record (or, as Andrew Klavan calls it, “a former newspaper”) has proclaimed that Americans have more to fear from married men than they do from ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and any other insane Islamic terrorists. Because married men tend to – GASP – own guns! And there’s a long and storied history of married men going on murderous rampages because… the New York Times said so?

Above all, fear spouses: Husbands are incomparably more deadly in America than jihadist terrorists.
And husbands are so deadly in part because in America they have ready access to firearms, even when they have a history of violence. In other countries, brutish husbands put wives in hospitals; in America, they put them in graves.

(Side Note: Does this mean that homosexual men who are married are twice as likely to kill each other? I mean, those relationships involve TWO husbands. That can’t be good for the odds.)

Don’t know about any of you other married ladies, but if my husband somehow lost all sanity and reason and decided to try shooting me, he’d have to do it from under a rain of bullets from my end. ‘Cause self-defense and whatnot (and it’d be his own fault – he insisted I have a gun of my own. I didn’t protest, of course).

Really, what this column is trying to do is say “Why is President Trump worried about Muslim terrorists? You’re more likely to be killed by lightning or drown in a bathtub or shot by your own husband.

Last year Americans were less likely to be killed by Muslim terrorists than for being Muslim, according to Charles Kurzman of the University of North Carolina. The former is a risk of approximately one in 17 million; the latter, one in one million.
The bottom line is that most years in the U.S., ladders kill far more Americans than Muslim terrorists do. Same with bathtubs. Ditto for stairs. And lightning.

Oh… I don’t know… because POTUS actually has some control over America’s response to organized terrorist groups. Because such groups have ACTIVELY THREATENED to kill Americans by any means necessary. Because their murderous ideology and culture proclaims that anyone who isn’t a Muslim or practicing Islam the way they dictate it is worthy of death. Because they believe all of Western civilization has declared war on Islam simply by existing.

President Trump can do – and is doing – something about that. The stairs and the bathtubs, the American people can handle that within their own homes (and if anyone has a way to exert control over lightning, we need to talk to that individual about the Avengers Initiative).

Trying to downplay the threat of terrorism by comparing it to all these other incredibly stupid things is not only ignorant, it’s irresponsible. But it doesn’t matter to the New York Times. Because their preferred candidate lost, so they have to dog the president that they clearly hate every step of the way. Even if that means scoffing at his attempts to keep America safe.

It’s pretty pathetic when a news outlet with the tradition and history of the New York Times has so obviously sold out journalistic integrity just to score political points with the Democrat Party. But such is the world we live in. (#FakeNews)
