Something tells me paintball just ain't gonna get it.

Steyn warns of ‘serious secession movements’ if drift toward socialism not reversed.

“I think you’re right there,” Steyn said. “The idea that all 50 states are going to be content to slide off the cliff in a kind of haze and a drone of sort of soporific princess fluffy-bunny socialism is completely false. I mean, there will be — you’re going to have serious secession movements if some of this stuff isn’t turned around, not just in Texas.”

“It would appear at times when civil war might be inevitable,” Miller replied. “Why don’t we get together right now and agree to do it by paintball so nobody gets hurt. Why don’t we just have a big liberal-conservative — meet at the Mississippi and have a big paintball game so we can get this figured out?”

How about all the Socialist inclined move to Britain and Canada.
All the freedom inclined move to the United States.
That way we do not have to kill them out.; May 17, 2013 at 2:41 AM

Here's a tip for you communists: if you don't want hardworking pissed-off patriotic Americans shooting at you with lead bullets, cut the crap. Freedom or death - and that works both ways.; May 17, 2013 at 2:42 AM

Allen said...: paintball? really?

you can't play paintball with someone who has no honor or honesty.

they'd be scotchgaurding everything so much water will bead up at 20 paces, and "tactical paint checks" with bought-off referees would be the rule.; May 17, 2013 at 11:26 AM

Unless your a collectivist, then, by all means bring one. ;-); May 17, 2013 at 11:38 AM
Anonymous said...: I do enjoy paintball, but if it comes down to a civil war (God on High forbid), then our business is killing the enemy, not sorting it out in a fair fight. While they're out playing games, I'll be slitting throats.; May 17, 2013 at 11:22 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.
