Sipsey Street Irregulars: Bob Owens, who never met an open carry demonstration he liked nor loaned his voice to support the ongoing armed civil disobedience movement, gets all warm and fuzzy about someone else's advocacy of We Will Not Comply.

Bob Owens, who never met an open carry demonstration he liked nor loaned his voice to support the ongoing armed civil disobedience movement, gets all warm and fuzzy about someone else's advocacy of We Will Not Comply.

I guess as long as it's just someone else's words he's cool with it. . . as long as it goes no further than words. Can you imagine how he and the other Internet prags like General Sebastian Snowflake would react to THIS if it happened today? They'd piss their pants. By the way, today is the 69th anniversary of the Battle of Athens. Remember to hoist a glass to those brave veterans who rebelled against a corrupt political machine, shot back and, oh by the way, blew the front off the county jail with explosives. It is easy to praise men long dead, whose actions you can safely approve of without risk to yourself. It is another to risk your own ass emulating them, as millions of the armed citizenry are doing in CT, NY, MD, CO, WA and OR. Owens, by this approving column, reveals himself to be among the biggest hypocrites in the firearm rights movement. . . and a spineless weasel as well.

PS: I sent a copy of this post to him so that he would be fully informed. I never say anything about anyone that I wouldn't say to his or her face.

Anonymous said...: I finally got banned off of his little website for calling out his jihad against open carry, his hypocrisy of naming his site "Bearing Arms" and then criticizing it when he doesn't like it, and his near-constant copsucking (to the point of making the same arguments the antis do when he blamed the gun for the police's incompetent firearms handling). No big loss, I have to deal with enough idiocy in my life without having to read his rubbish.; August 2, 2015 at 12:05 AM
Anonymous said...: I quit reading Owens' site a long time ago. He's like most of the other so called experts on the internet, nothing more than an a**hat.; August 2, 2015 at 8:54 AM
Jack Crabb said...: I, too, quit reading Owens some time ago. I also refuse to click through to that "spineless weasel". In addition to his stance on open carry, he is a notorious copsucker, too.; August 4, 2015 at 1:19 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.
