John Richardson: It's Not All Violence They Oppose

"Surgical Asshole Removal Tool"

The Coalition To Stop Gun Violence (sic) does not oppose all violence. They are on record in support of state-sponsored violence.

John sent me a link to this article along with this note: "BTW they were going nuts on Twitter last night about Absolved." Now I don't do Twitter or Facebook, but if they don't like the old chapters on the net, they really won't like the reworked version where a S.A.R.T. ("Surgical Asshole Removal Tool", see the chapter "10,000 Lawyers') round turns up a ballistic match to an earlier shooting. All in fiction and all in fun.

I could not, however, get past their insistence on citizen disarmament.

It seemed somewhat odd to me for a pacifist organization to favor citizen disarmament... using actual or threatened state violence.

I've even met one, hunted with him, who hunted bear with a .50 caliber muzzle loader. It must be a different sect where you live.; October 28, 2012 at 7:33 AM

Whatever your views on that subject, it is not up for debate that plenty of women and children are killed on a regular basis. In fact, events like funerals are specifically targeted by the drone strikes.

Trayvon Martin is often mentioned, but the same leftists never mention that Obama already ordered the drone strike that murdered a 16 year old unarmed US citizen, the son of Anwar Al Laki. The White House tried to lie initially and claim he was a terrorist too, but now they have basically blamed his father for their killing of his child.

Make no mistake, these same thugs are just scared at the thought that their fascist government won't be dealing with defenseless victims. Why else would the SPLC and Sarah Brady types all remain silent on the drone strikes on civilians or laws like the NDAA that allow the President to indefinitely detain or kill anyone he decides is aiding "terrorism" -- while ignoring when the Obama admin actually provides arms and support to Al Queda terrorists in Libya, Syria, etc.

The answer? They are fascists and want to be the only ones with firearms, sort of like Benito Bloomberg thinking it is ok for his NYPD to just randomly shoot into crowds since they are the law! Power without limit, as Lenin would say, is the ultimate goal of the state.; October 29, 2012 at 11:49 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
