The Smallest Minority

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

And Then There Were Ten

Mike over at Feces Flinging Monkey has a very interesting post up on the tenth dwarf running for Democratic Presidential Nominee, entitled Hillary's Golem. It's worth a look. Go read.

UPDATE: John Donovan at argghhh!! has this to say about Wesley Clark - AKA "POD" or "Prince of Darkness" (actually he has a lot to say, just scroll through the site):

The POD served as Commander, National Training Center during Desert Storm and Desert Shield. That was where I first worked for him. He also served as the commander of the BCTP at Fort Leavenworth - which is the agency responsible for critiquing the performance of general officers. The point being - the POD not only is used to engaging in self-criticism, he knows how to do it. And believe me, he will. And he'll learn and adapt fast.

Which won't change a whit my opinion that he's not the right guy to be President. Problem is, he has the people skills of Eisenhower, with the ego and self-image of MacArthur. Not a good combination.

Since John's worked for the man, IMHO he's a good place to get an opinion. Go see what he has to say.
