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

Quote of the Day - Twofer Edition

Taken in its entirety from Vanderleun. First, a quote from IMAO, then Vanderleun's addendum:
Conservatives tend to treat as hobbies what liberals treat as occupations. - IMAO
It deserves to be part of the catechism of losing. I'd also observe that it is the habit of conservatives to bring a calm and logical argument to an ideological gunfight.
I'm sure our resident Leftist will object. After all it's been the Leftist's argument all along that they're the "reality-based" community, willing to discuss, negotiate, and reason, but from my perspective that's just typical of their projection issues.
