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

You've Got to Admit, It Beats That Other "Award" I Got!

I just noticed that I've been tagged with the "Thinking Blogger Award" by fellow blogger Conservative UAW Guy. (Full disclosure: we've met, at the inaugural Gunblogger's Rendezvous in Reno last year. Nice guy, charming wife.) I'm honored, really.

It beats the hell out of my last blogging "award."

Anyway, this is another meme-thing. Here are the rules:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.
Err, I think something got scrambled there, but click the award icon for a link back to the originating post.

Here's my list of five bloggers who make me think:
1. Steven Den Beste - Yes, I know he no longer posts as USS Clueless, but there's stuff in his archives that still makes me go "Ah!"

2. American Digest. Gerard Van der Leun doesn't post as much now that he's a muckety-muck at Pajamas Media, but he still writes a few that stimulate the grey matter.

3. Bill Whittle's Eject3. No explanation necessary. If you haven't read him, start with "Honor" and work your way up the archives.

4. Wretchard at The Belmont Club. Thinking is what he does.

5. A Day in the Life of an Ambulance Driver. Read posts like this one and tell me they don't make you think.
Thanks for the nod, JimmyB.
