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

I'll try to post much more shooty goodness tomorrow, but now I have to get ready for tonight's blogger get-together.

One other thing, though: I watched most of the speakers at this afternoon's "Leadership Conference" (starting with Ollie North - since they had a hard time getting us a video feed in the Press room). The general gist of pretty much every speech (as I heard it) was "Please don't stay home this November. McCain may suck, but he's better than the Democrat alternative, no matter which one it is!"

What a resounding endorsement of Senator Cylon.
