And this collectivist moke is a HISTORY PROFESSOR?

"Rescind the 2nd Amendment."

Anytime you feel froggy, professor. Do it. And watch what happens.

My comment (which for some reason isn't being accepted):

For a history professor (even a collectivist one), you seem woefully -- if not willfully -- ignorant of the Law of Unintended Consequences as well as American history. Given that your plan would start a civil war that would stack up (at least) hundreds of thousands of bodies, one has to wonder if you really are that short-sighted or just honestly bloody-minded. How many of us "bitter clingers" do you wish to see dead in order to achieve your plan? A million? Two? Ten? For that is what it will take. Decide now if it is worth it to you, and then have then courage of your convictions and come along with one of the raid parties sent to work your violent will upon us. Now THAT would be a historical education all itself. For when democracy turns to tyranny, the armed citizenry still gets to vote.

If he is indeed a history professor, he needs to review what happened to the Tories after the revolution. Pick a country professor cause your commie ass is leaving.; June 15, 2013 at 6:56 AM

Facebook is just a tool, only as good or bad as the person using it, and no more intrusive -- unless you want it to be -- than operating a public blog.; June 15, 2013 at 9:55 AM

Anonymous said...: Sir,

You are more than welcome to TRY and liberate me from my god given right for self-protection.
The second Amendment of the Constitution is in place to prevent such things, and "Shall Not Be Infringed" really means just that.
And Fuck You sir, the Constitution IS indeed a sacred text to many more than you may think, and you have no bearing on that whatsoever.

I certainly hope you understand those words, because the only way I will relinquish my arms is from my cold dead hands.

Come and take them, if you think you can.
And bring a lunch, it may take a while.

Hell, that's the least of his worries. He should also look into what always happens to the intellectuals and rabble rousers and the like when his side wins. No one needs theoreticians and revolutionaries after the revolution is over. They just need servants.; June 15, 2013 at 7:28 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.
