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

Speaking of Groups Obama is Comfortable In

Speaking of Groups Obama is Comfortable In

Barak I Believe in the Second Amendment Obama has had a rather long association with The Joyce Foundation, as detailed with great care by David T. Hardy, Esq., one of the 1% of lawyers that doesn't suck. I know others have beaten me to the punch, but David's piece is superlative, and I didn't want to be the one gunblogger not to mention it.

Today's Quote of the Day comes from the comments to David's piece, written by "fred":
The problem with the "paradigm shift" is that Senator Obama, soon to become POTUS, has been opaque about the contours of his ideology and intellectual templates. A lot of thoughtful citizens like myself have gone in quest of what these might be.

Generally, people are, in part, the sum total of their influences and education. So, you go in search of who advised, educated, influenced, and advanced this man. You also look at his voting record and his stable of advisers. Also, you look at statements he has made to groups out of the public spotlight to find out how he really thinks on a range of subjects. All of this takes time and effort. It does not come easily or cheaply. Especially when the Big Media is actively promoting Sen. Obama.

When you put it all together, it's troubling, to say the least.

Signed,

A "bitter clinger to guns and religion."
