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, I Can Believe It


I don't know where I was when this news broke, but on August 2 a Scripps Howard News Service release announced that "More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East".

Unfortunately, I can believe it. Why? Because of the number of ignorant people our school systems are churning out. I looked up a piece from December of 2004 and found that it was still available online - America as it ain't - written by a professor of management at California State University, Dominguez Hills. He's still shown on the faculty page, though it hasn't been updated since August of 2004. (He's also a novelist, writing under the pen name of Zachary Alan Fox, which explains the essay's excellent readability.) But read the piece. It explains precisely why 1/3 of the population might swallow what Kevin Barrett is selling, and why the moonbat Left is where it is today.

"Reality-based community" my ass.
