Two from Herschel Smith.

The Bataclan And The Death Of The Globalist, Secular Utopia

"Everyone in the French government is shocked. No thinking man is shocked. This was the inevitable deliverance of a ruling class who hates us. America is the product of Continental and Scottish Calvinism, unquestionably a Christian nation. The current administration, along with ISIS, hates who we are. This is coming to America – it is already in America – and it is our responsibility to be ready for it."

"Tom Ricks On Gun Control."

"I wonder if Tom is concerned enough about the black community to cause an American civil war over gun confiscations, or to see a government that has lost any semblance of control because no one observes its laws? Does he really think we’re going to go along with more gun control? Finally, I am left wondering if Tom wrote this piece when he was partly nuts or bigtime nuts? For the record, I’m not nuts."

Chiu ChunLing said...: The problem isn't people being "nuts".

The problem is evil. And, as noted, plenty of people kill for reasons of rational self-interest. The vast majority of the hundreds of millions of murders of the last century were not motivated by any clinically definable insanity on the part of the actual killers, but rather because they were placed in a situation where carrying out the murders was profitable to them, in a rational cost/benefit calculation.

When most people are armed, the pool of victims it is safe to kill with impunity shrinks dramatically, because not only can you not count on the victims being unable to defend themselves, you can be almost certain that there will be many people with the will and means to avenge the loss of any innocent lives.

This possibility is...unsettling to many government agents and officials who know their own hands to be stained with innocent blood. A truly free society cannot exist until we work through the vengeance necessary for the irrevocable crimes committed by tyranny.

It may be possible to forgive some...but anciently it was understood that forgiveness was only possible where there was a right of vengeance to forgo. To say, "I forgive you," means nothing more or less than, "I have a lawful claim to vengeance against you, which I hereby relinquish as a free gift to you."

If you do not acknowledge the lawful claim to vengeance, then there can be no meaning whatsoever in forgiving it.

I wonder how many will discover, at the great day of Judgment, that they have no claim to God's forgiveness of their transgressions because they never really forgave those who trespassed against them because the state denied they had a lawful claim of vengeance to forgo?; November 16, 2015 at 10:40 AM

"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.
