Oh, puh-leeze, Brer Fox, don' trow me in dat dar briar patch. New York Times demands citizen disarmament as an issue in the 2016 presidential election.

"Voters need to be reminded of the stark difference between the candidates, which is why Mrs. Clinton should drive this issue into the general election, should she win her party’s nomination."

I'd be willing to bet a good half of your readers have never watched "Song of the South" and have only second hand knowledge of Brer Fox, Brer Bear, or Brer Rabbit if that.

As for the NYT demand that Democrat politicians embrace calls for gun control, they never did understand what happened in 1994. To many of them Newt Gingrich is some old guy who was famous for something or other back when they were in elementary school.; October 10, 2015 at 9:35 AM
Sean said...: Notice if you will, that Hilldog wants guns confiscated from people ACCUSED of domestic violence, not convicted. An nothing spoken about restoring anyones rights lost thereby, or anyone else, in any situation. If she were really interested in justice, she'd go to Benghazi, and walk down the street naked. If the results didn't kill the locals.; October 10, 2015 at 11:31 AM

This is, I think, the only way the GOP will retake the WH in 2016 -- the Democrats will present it to them with their party's best wishes. More likely, Bernie Sanders will be pitted against another unelectable Bush-clone and will mop the floor with him. The probability of Trump, Fiorina, or Carson being the nominee I estimate at or near zero.; October 10, 2015 at 11:38 AM

Get a load of this letter to the editor from a college professor openly advocating for civil war:

I'm astonished at the childishness of what apparently passes for an "argument" from a professor of womyn and gender studies!

P.S. God bless your beautiful daughter's marriage, and God for making sure your progeny bear your character and not your looks!; October 10, 2015 at 1:23 PM
Bill St. Clair said...: I sent a letter to the editor of the New York Times. I very much doubt they'll print it, but hey, I had fun writing it. "... Back away from my Second Amendment, Hillary."; October 10, 2015 at 6:46 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.
