Let's cover this one more time: Better the devil you know than the other worse devil you also know.

More Sensenbrenner nonsense: "Republican proposes abolishing the ATF amid bullet ban controversy." And since there is no way that leviathan is going to allow the federal gun laws to be repealed in the short run through political means, who then does he propose to enforce them? The new Gestapo of DHS? The old Gestapo of the FBI. Again, if John Dodson had worked for the FBI and not ATF, his dessicated corpse would have been found a few years from now out in the Arizona desert and we never would have heard of the Fast and Furious scandal. The FBI protects its undeserved bureaucratic and media "good reputation." Indeed, if the ATF didn't exist, the FBI would have to invent it. The ATF is used by the FBI to BE the punching bag: "See, they say, we're not as bad as THEM," when meanwhile they go about their greater, better-covered-up evils. Even so, in the short run, I'll take the devil I know rather than the worse devil I also know only too well.

Anonymous said...: The NRA is used by the left as a punching bag......

Here is another false premise - this one couched openly also. It mattres not if it's BATFE or DHS or FBI (FBI and BATFE are actually part of DHS, but anyway) they are ALL tools that the EXECUTIVE is directly responsible for.

Too many accept this bovine excrement that these agencies, departments and bureaus are "independent" - they aren't! They are simply a presidents CABINET and each president forms his cabinet and MUST THEN BE responsible for it. Hint - when a candidate claims they want to "reform" GOVERNMENT, he is REALLY talking about RE forming the same damn cabinet the last president RE formed.... See the semantics???)

Notice too the age old Bovine excrement of lesser of two evils. ENOUGH of this CON JOB of baiting people into voting for evil as if they have no other just - that they can only vote for evils degree, rather than for good. Stop being fooled'!!! Stop conceding to false premise! Challenge it openly and honestly - no matter WHO writes it and says it!!; March 8, 2015 at 1:55 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.
