Another clueless collectivist seeking self-extinction in a civil war that he wants to provoke.

For the sake of brevity as I could use a number of colorful adjectives to describe this rodent, let's just all agree that this one is not going to be present in the stack outside your house. No, this one is low hanging fruit. He would do well to take note and remember that.; December 30, 2014 at 6:35 AM

Rather than simply or crudely dismissing the purveyor of objectionable ideas, one should make a reasonable effort to understand their argument and seek validity or fault.

Follow their links. Search for the Oregon Peace Institute. End up at the Portland State University and read about their "Conflict Resolution Program".

I did and here is my conclusion: While the goals of "violence prevention, mediation,
negotiation, restorative justice, nonviolent social change,
policy and
organizational facilitation,
international and intercultural conflict resolution,
dispute systems design and evaluation" are laudable, they are all based upon the assumption that the person or entity that one is in conflict with can be reasoned with.

As soon as you encounter someone you cannot reason with, who will only accept you doing their bidding, and will go so far as killing you to have their way, then all the "mediation and negotiation" you've got is rendered impotent.

Thus the need for my G-d given right to keep and bear arms.

Even if, through some electoral chicanery, cultural Marxists manage to repeal the 2nd Amendment, I WILL NOT DISARM. Did you hear me? I WILL NOT DISARM.

How many of the 100 million gun owners in America are you willing to murder to make your little fantasy come true?

Besides, my right to keep and bear arms predates the Founding of the United States of America, and the courts know it.; December 30, 2014 at 9:41 AM

Mike, I've read and fully digested your recent post on how easy it is for a "civil war" to break out. At first, I wasn't so sure. After further review and reflection, I have to agree with you 100%. It also makes me even more concerned about what the not-so-distant future has in store.; December 30, 2014 at 9:53 AM

"Let me know when it becomes possible to repeal a "Natural Born" or "God Given" right."

"The Second Amendment acknowledges a right; it does not confer a privilege."

"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.
