A two-edged pen. Another example of the Law of Unintended Consequences.

A lot of folks, including me, were outraged when this story appeared: Newspaper Publishes Gun Owners’ Names and Addresses.

Now we have this reaction:

Sauce for the goose or, home address and phone number of Journal-News publisher

Works for me. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but it cuts both ways too.

Chorus:

"Help I'm stepping into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far
Help I'm stepping into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far
So you'll come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
So you'll come to know
When the bullet hits the bone"

One of the tactics the GC knuckleheads are going to use is to set up the false promise of "letting" hunters keep their shotguns. They just want the evil "assault" weapons. This is an attempt to divide and concur. I've heard too many people supposedly on our side calling for "common sense" gun laws. This is a Trojan horse and if let in will not end well.

Many of them have all ready removed their FB info. A true act of cowardice which reveals exactly who we are dealing with. Cowardly traitors!
No Quarter!

Rick said...: See how easy that is. Now for a list of the other people pushing this socialist agenda to disarm America so they can have a monopoly on deadly force. Let's see how froggy they get when they have their whole world at stake. How about the Chris Matthews, and David Gregory types. Lets get the list out there and see if they feel secure enough with just 7 armed men around them, if they can even find seven willing to perform the duty. Fat chance.; December 26, 2012 at 3:04 PM

I am sure that you have received copious hate mail since publishing the NY handgun permit data. I thought about joining the chorus, but reconsidered. Until...

Until a fellow commenting about your stunt posted a video clip. He noted that you would willingly wield the handgun as shown in the clip. Watch and see if you do not agree.

I wish that no harm shall befall you and yours. It certainly will not be at my behest.

But, a truly horrifying civil war is coming to this land. Your ideological allies have been goading it into fruition for a very long time. And, you just won't let up Your little stunt pushed up the onset a notch.

Enjoy the movie clip. And, finally, consider the fate of the Sondercommando by Mr. Stalin's soul-mate, a Mr. A. Hitler ...

They dutifully manned the gas chamber doors. They told soothing lies to starving, naked, men-women-children. They were loyal to the State. Until...

Well, until they, themselves were thrown inside, and the door was slammed shut. The look on their faces was one of absolute incredulity.

"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.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"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.
