"Lies in the Sand" (and lies in the collectivist account of the Alamo rally).

Lies in the Sand: A Look Behind The Alamo Gun Rally Interesting that this collectivist harpy didn't manage to cover my speech linking the Deacons for Defense and Justice and the civil rights movement of the 60s to today's firearm rights movement and how the Constitution extends to everyone regardless of race, creed, color and religion. Accidental omission?

SWIFT said...: How many "Moms Demand Action" participants showed up to counter demonstrate? Where can I purchase an Ak-15? I thought I was pretty well versed on guns, of all types, but with all the new stuff becoming available, I must have missed this one. Why is it, that only left-wing reporters, journalists, FBI/Homies, cite the Southern Poverty Law Center as being reliable/credible? This inquiring mind wants to know.; October 24, 2013 at 7:36 AM

But one thing is as plain as the bias in this woman's article, she's no fan of RKBA.; October 24, 2013 at 8:48 AM
Anonymous said...: Some of the comments over there are truly moronic. And Leslie Kelly, the author of that very omissive piece of tripe, has no idea what the word "venal" means.; October 24, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Sean said...: Yeah, Ak-15. I hope sugar britches will get back to me about that, right after she tries to insert 7.62X39 ammo into an AR-15, or whatever. She spent most of the article conflating what happened in SA with the KKK, skinheads, Neo-Nazis, who of course WEREN'T THERE, with the usual references to the SLPC, and the DANGER she felt was there, where, no shots were fired, no one assaulted anyone, there were no injuries, and not even much harsh language (Ayeee, Alex Jones, carumba) and not even any violent or heated exchanges with the police, demonstrators, or the curious. She whined so hard for something evil to either appear, or be some how associated with the actual people there, but alack and alas, nothing materialized except her solopistic, pre-conceived notion that some how, evil was lurking and aborning in the hearts of the whole bunch, and on its way to the nearest nursery school to do its hideous work. Reminds me of a dead aunt, who shrieked in horror at me picking up a broken glass, that I would surely be CUT! I wasn't, but I did see why aunts are not usually Marine Corps drill instructors. Life takes a little courage to really live it, and the collectivists are always short of it. And facts mean nothing to them.; October 24, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Freedom First 1775 said...: Appropriately named article. 'Nuff said.; October 24, 2013 at 10:38 AM
Anonymous said...: Some rather 'interesting' comments - especially from the obvious hoplophobes.
One quick question for the totally unbiased 'author' - regarding the 'arrest' at Starbucks, WHY were they cited for 'disorderly conduct' and NOT for violating the city's open carry ordinance?
Regarding her article, lots of innuendo and misleading personal commentary.............not the facts that some of the commenters claim.; October 24, 2013 at 12:10 PM
ag42b said...: Sounds like the authoress had her mind made up before she visited the rally, and was disappointed that there was no violence, families were apparently there, and a few folks had clothing on that she did not expect. The "Moms'" group and SPLC references indicate where she got her preconceived information. I have no idea who Alex Jones is, as he does not appear on the radio where I live. All in all, a biased article, much ado about nothing. Folks like this are afraid to read web sites in depth, cannot properly identify objects people carried, and moan about groups who were not even present. This kind of "reporting" is not factual, though it pretends to be.; October 24, 2013 at 9:21 PM
Neil E. Wright said...: I can't believe I just wasted FIVE minutes trying to read that crap.

That's FIVE minutes of my life that I can never get back .... :)

Good job in San Antonio, Mike.; October 25, 2013 at 2:12 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.
