Advice to Sheila Jackson Lee: Be careful what you wish for, you stupid collectivist harpy. You might get it.

Here the repellent harpies make their nests,

Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades With dire announcements of the coming woe. They have broad wings, a human neck and face,

Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw Their lamentations in the eerie trees.

-- Dante, Inferno, XIII, describing the seventh ring of Hell, where suicides have their punishment.

Dem Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Says “Martial Law” Is Needed To Reopen The Government…

Never heard of the Law of Unintended Consequences, hey? Actually to call her a harpy is an insult to the classical reference and to honest harpies everywhere. No way were their souls as ugly as this collectivist operative.

What's she going to say when thousands from her power base get jailed or shot for looting, curfew violation, etc. ?

They're going to turn on her and blame her for their problems.

William Flatt said...: Guys, I know a bit about the legislative procedure in Congress, and "martial law" is a suspension of the normal procedures for passing legislation. When they can't get past the principled obstructionism of a dissident faction, this allows party leaders to pass legislation illegally while pretending it's legal.

Mike comments still stand. Let'em try; it's still unconstitutional and therefore null and void... which is pretty much everything they do anyway.; October 10, 2013 at 6:59 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.
