More defeatist assholery -- ostensibly from a "libertarian."

"Here’s How it Will be Done…" (Firearms confiscation, that is.)

Why don't these defeatist pukes spend their time trying to figure out how to disobey, confound and resist their would-be oppressors instead of pushing the whole Borg "resistance is futile" meme?

Better yet, why not surrender their arms and ammunition to folks who WILL resist while they -- and we -- still have the time?

David Forward said...: Too many people have been lulled into complacency enjoying the modern resurrection of the failed Roman Empire's bread and circuses appeasement society. As long as their cable TV (and, especially, the remote) works and the wide world of sports is beamed into their homes, why should they worry -- they still live in a free society. Birds in a cage, even a gilded cage, are relatively safe and snug -- except from the guardians -- and able to live as they like...under the discretion of the guardians. Modern Americans are the same way -- they don't see their loss of liberty, but rather they view it as gaining security along with all of the government cheese they can justify getting from uncle Obama.

These are the people -- now a growing majority of our populace -- the author is talking about not seeing anything wrong with "reasonable" gun control. They only worry about losing their entertainment, not their means of survival when the SHTF and social chaos reigns supreme. And most of those fools, while occasionally grumbling about government over reach, can never conceive in their carefully bought and paid for, programmed midget minds of their government doing anything that is "illegal." Seeing the government as good parents they rest assured that any rough spots are just for their own ultimate benefit and accept the proper application of needed tough love.; November 30, 2012 at 4:27 PM

Temnota said...: The window for serious gun control closed a long time ago. Guns are too common, and too easy to manufacture with no pinch points in the supply chain that can't be engineered around. Americans on the whole are too intransigent to fall for the incremental approach en masse and the NRA and NSSF raise too much money off of loudly militating against even the tiniest infringement. The most they can do is sow inconveniences.; November 30, 2012 at 9:59 PM
Anonymous said...: People like "Eric",the author of this article,aren't "Libertarian's" or Second Ammendment supporters. They work for "Media Matters" or other left wing Boiler operations,to establish Blogs pretending they are conservative,then at the "Right" time,come out and try and depress and dispirit the Conservative Base by,"It's all over,give up".

Don't fall for this lefty pretending to be a Righty for one second. What self-respecting Firearms owner or Conservative would be willing to give up and be enslaved this easily?...They wouldn't. This guy and the other's like him writing similar articles are lefty trolls trying to get us to throw in our towels without a fight. It ain't gonna happen Soros,keep dreaming.; November 30, 2012 at 10:15 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.
