Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. -- MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.-- Moshe Ben-David

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

"Unfortunately, justice can be unforgiving"

Others have covered this. I did, too, last week. But now it appears that Jose Acosta, the 69 year-old man, a resident of the U.S. for 25 years, faces possible deportation for using an unlicensed firearm to defend himself during an armed robbery attempt.

And all Mayor Bloomberg has to say is "Unfortunately, justice can be unforgiving."

I suppose Mr. Acosta should have just submitted and let the City protect him like it protected Mohammed Conteh. And he could be pushing up daisies in a NYC graveyard rather than facing deportation.

That's OK, Sr. Acosta. Our border's so pourous you can be back at your bodega in less than 30 days.

Mayor Bloomberg? Voters can be unforgiving, too. One term - if you make it that long before a lynch mob comes after you.

And does anybody have an update on Ronald Dixon?
