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. -- MaxedOutMamaI don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du ToitThe 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 KnishAll politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

Maybe it's time to go rope-a-dope. Maybe this is the moment for Boehner to call a news conference on the steps of the capitol, with all House and Senate Republicans clustered behind him, to say something like: "Fellow Americans. Members of the media. We are here to congratulate the President and the Democrat party for their election victory. You want more candy? We'll give you all the fucking candy you can eat. Higher taxes on the rich? You got it. Fast track for Obamacare? Let's accelerate that sucker so the wait time for an MRI is a couple of months by 2016. History tells us that an iceberg is lying straight ahead of our unsinkable ship. History also tells us that if the Titanic had rammed the iceberg head on, it would have stayed afloat. So we're not going to try to wrestle the wheel away from our teenaged Captain. We're just going to tell him, and all the other passengers, that we're about to hit a shitload of ice. So wear a warm coat, and full steam ahead." - Buddhahat
