Made me seek out chapter two, and when I found it, I realized why I'd stopped reading before. <br /><br />In "Interposition" you muddy the ideological waters pretty significantly, by seemingly defining your side as fundamentalist christians and the other side as, essentially, NAMBLA members. You talk about liberty (in the privacy of your own home) but it really comes off like republican propaganda-- and I don't for a second believe that republicans support freedom.<br /><br />Becoming a libertarian is a process, and I don't know when that chapter was written or where you were in the process at the time-- or now for that matter.<br /><br />IF I were the one writing it, this chapter would probably be the hardest . Action is much easier, while philosophy and ideology are a difficult to be clear on. <br /><br />I see the ideological division in this country as being between americans and statists. Americans believe in capitalism, individual liberty and choice, and while americans come in all shapes and sizes and stripes, what makes them american is recognizing that it is nobodies business what another american is doing. Americans believe the initiation of force is immoral. Thus they have a clear understanding of what is a crime (rape, murder, theft, etc.) and what is not (doing drugs having guns, being gay, reading pornography, etc.). <br /><br />But the dominant political ideology in this country is not american. It is tyrannical. And this goes for "both" parties. They believe in central planning, and accept as a fundamental principle that all "citizens" are subjects of the state. They believe the state has a role in every aspect of business and personal life-- from giving out marriage licenses (and denying them based on arbitrary criteria) to regulating medicine and fighting a war on people who choose politically incorrect drugs-- to total regulation of the economy.<br /><br />Central planning for both our lives and the economy is not a coincidence-- its an ideology. It is contrary to the principle upon which the American experiment was founded and thus is un-American. <br /><br />Americans believe in freedom, and freedom is the power to make a million choices that aren't dictated by the state, any particular religion etc. Freedom is the power to choose what's best for you based on your own values. <br /><br />That's the ideological distinction I see. If you see it as well, then I respectfully suggest that "Interposition" would greatly benefit from some reworking. <br /><br />Hopefully this doesn't offend, it's meant constructively. <br /><br />Best wishes-<br /><br />- a fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-70734987605430419102009-10-24T17:01:56.641-05:002009-10-24T17:01:56.641-05:00Straight Arrow, I fervently pray you are right. I...Straight Arrow, I fervently pray you are right. I'd feel really badly about having to shoot American servicemen/women in self defense; but, make no mistake, I WILL shoot. I'm a 30 year veteran of the U.S. Navy, have sworn the oath many times, consider the U.S. Constitution to be a holy document, and I will not take another step backward. Take note, you statists: a lifetime of service to the nation has honed this fighting man into a weapon that yes, you really should fear.<br /><br />Whoever said that attempts by Marxist and leftist liberals in our government and those behind them to subjugate the American people do so at their own peril knew whereof he spoke. Always, I cautioned restraint, but no longer. It's past the time for restraint. It's now the time to start manufacturing home made claymores. The gun grabbers never stop, nor will I and many, many, others like me.<br /><br />Yup, I'm a "threeper," and what's even better is that we outnumber them by an order of magnitude. We are veterans, trained in the use of tactics and weapons. Even simple arithmetic should make them aware that 9,000,000 armed and angry citizens aren't to be trifled with lightly. Those of us that have seen the carnage up close have a deep and abiding respect for human life, yet we went in harms way willingly. Not a lot of libs in the bunch of men I served with. They libs were well hidden, protected by us.<br /><br />Do they think we will simply roll over and idly watch as they destroy this finest example of excellence in history? When push comes to shove, they have no idea what's in store for them; because, if they did, they wouldn't be so cavalier in their disdain of "oathkeepers" and "three percenters."Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000423065458380753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-49731470134552018842009-10-24T01:39:14.694-05:002009-10-24T01:39:14.694-05:00I was recently talking to a former Ranger and he s...I was recently talking to a former Ranger and he strongly avowed that through training on how to treat civilians and the very strong beliefs, that the 70-80% of the true oath keepers would turn and fire on the non-believers if they dared to raise a rifle to armed civilians.<br /> One thing bothers me though. I haven't read Chairman Mao's Little Red Book, but I've been told some of it from someone who had in 1965 at War College. The collectivists/Marxists/Commies will never give up. That was Mao's way, "keep the end goal in sight, never admit defeat". If you'll notice the gun-grabbers, for an example, they just keep coming. They may lose that battle or had "to make a strategic retreat" or comprise to very little, but they always keep coming back. The only way to win and stay won is to totally whip them into nothing, then destroy any sign of resurgence or complaciency will set in amongst us again and it will be to do all over again sometime in the future. Think of the Brady bunch and the ACLU, they always keep coming and are always on the attack.<br />AgPilot60Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-62272350472692954202009-10-23T20:23:07.916-05:002009-10-23T20:23:07.916-05:00Ahab, not all our servicemen and women will follow...Ahab, not all our servicemen and women will follow orders if they are to wage war against civilian America.

Namesake of my father, I have read ...My Dear Mike,<br /><br />Namesake of my father, I have read many works of a similar nature, those on the side of government and those against. Those who choose government to exhalt always do so under the best of terms and examples, and then castigate and demonizing those who view government as the problem. Americans who disagree with our government are not always demonized, it is true; however, this process of diminishing one's opponents with equivocations, outright lies, and subterfuge has increased in the last three decades to the point where a government established of, by, and for the people has apparently declared war on "we the people." <br /><br />I understand, indeed, that what you've written is a fictional account; however, it is far from fantasy. The likelihood a scenario like you've presented would come to pass is extremely high. The hero here, Phil Gordon, has nothing left to lose, his life is forfeit to cancer, his spouse deceased and his family dispersed as is normal. Nothing left to lose except his dignity and his life, and he will not take another step backward. There are more agencies that are thuggish in our government now than ever before, not just the ATF. How about the IRS? Are they not just as destructive of Americans and our prosperity as is the ATF destructive of our God given rights to life itself?<br /><br />The First Law of Nature is "self preservation." The Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights to U.S. Constitution is the guarantor of all the other rights espoused to in the bill. Shall we permit our government to nullify the First Law of Nature and eliminate our rights to self defense? I think not. How will we resist further the government's attempts to disarm America? Shall we wait for the thugs to come for us one at a time, imprison us at the least, kill us at the most, as with your Phil Gordon; or, shall we rise up as one and revolt against their tyranny? What shall trigger this uprising? Will it be a "Phil Gordon" like incident, a series of such incidents that finally pushes us over the edge?<br /><br />Another consideration is our Armed Forces. Will this administration hesitate to turn the might of our military against Americans? I don't think so! A poster on Red State.org, a retired combat LTC, insists the OathKeepers are looney tunes. Whether he is right, or wrong, is of no consequence; however, he insists the U.S. Army will follow their orders, they will fire, and I concur. Not enough of our servicemen and women even know what the Constitution says, let alone will stop to think about whether an order is lawful. You know what the outcome will be, in that case. Our sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, and neighbors will fire when ordered. If it begins and the military is called, there will be casualties uncounted on both sides before it is over?<br /><br />What will other nations do while Americans are in the throes of another civil war? Will they, seeing critical weakness, attack our nation's interests and holdings with impunity? Who will stand for America during a bloody revolution within? Our Armed Forces? Will there be anyone watching outward from the porch while a bloody conflict rages inside?<br /><br />There is no question that this Congress and this administration need replaced, en masse! If we rebell against them outside the ballot box, and we are successful, they will be hung from lamp posts up and down Constitution Avenue, which is proper for the wrongs they've committed against the people; but, who will guarantee we can roll back all the damage they've done, restore America to the Constitutional Republic that was founded with the signing in 1787? Will there be an America left when the blood stops running?Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000423065458380753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-86717108595714179132009-10-22T13:21:32.918-05:002009-10-22T13:21:32.918-05:00God bless you, sir.
