Dean Weingarten on "A Day With Mike Vanderboegh."

Mike and I have a lot in common, and we hit it off. I spent quite a bit of time with him at the NRA meeting, and I am convinced that he has credible sources to back up the claims in the article. I could not help but overhear fragments of his phone conversations. As to be expected with events of this political sensitivity, he has to be very careful not to reveal who he is getting information from.

Anonymous said...: There's nothing wrong with asking for sources OG. And it's honorable to accept it when your request is denied. It's called exercising our own rights and then respecting the rights that belong to others.

Ours is a right to speak out piece - not to do so and also force others to do as we would have them do.

As you demonstrate growth in that post, I for one hope that you can grow some more in accepting the truth about what the NRA has done and is still doing. I know it's hard to believe you have been so fooled - lots of us had to go through that hit to the pride. But good men accept the truth no matter what - even if it means we have to admit we had it wrong. But see, being wrong and then accepting truth makes you right!! That a guy got it wrong before, but learned and is right now is the definition of "learning". OG, learning and augmenting understand isn't a bad thing! It's a very positive thing.

I've read your comments for a long time and it seems like you are a genuine kind of guy. Please take my comments as in that light - from a genuine kind of guy to a genuine kind of guy. Maybe when enough people learn the truth and accept the truth the NRA will end its Negotiating Rights Away reputation because it's own actions see many longstanding defenders turning into its biggest critics ON SUBSTANCE.; April 15, 2015 at 3:33 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.
