Sipsey Street Irregulars: Typical of Gottlieb's habit of preemptive surrender.

Typical of Gottlieb's habit of preemptive surrender.

"Sir, that's not enemy fire. The battle hasn't begun yet. That's our own pyrotechnics going off." Gottlieb: "It's never too soon to surrender, private."

Gottlieb's Igor is paving the way for his master to preemptively surrender. "If it comes down to Jeb v. Hillary, who do gun owners vote for?"

How about "None of the above?" How about we spend our election day cleaning our rifles and polishing our armed civil disobedience plans? Besides, what makes these guys think we're going to actually HAVE a 2016 election? Habit? Inability to sense when the paradigm has shifted? Because we're Americans and we can't have another civil war?

You will note that Workman blames the loss of I-594 on firearm owners who sat out the election, NOT on his boss's and the NRA's childish games that alienated everybody. Of course, it's ALWAYS someone else's fault in Gottlieb's universe. And if you don't like it, you can always send him more money to achieve the same losing result.

And I'll make another prediction. Gottlieb, Workman and the whole SAF crowd will be nowhere to be seen at the Yakima Arms Expo this weekend. If we all get killed, they will write us off as collateral damage of our own making and fundraise on the incident before our dead bodies are safely in the ground.

The other 7,689 let the other 8,481 decide everything that was on the ballot.

Maybe they trusted their neighbors. Maybe they distrusted themselves. Maybe they thought they didn't know enough about the issues to make a decision. Maybe they didn't care.

Maybe some of them thought that they somehow affected the situation by refusing to vote, as a form of protest.

If so…they were wrong. Their lack of participation amounted to Jack Doodly Squat. Opinions that aren't counted don't count.

I voted. In this instance, what I voted for won. So I'm just as glad that anyone who would have voted the other way despised their privilege enough to stay home.

You have the right to not vote. Do as you please. But please don't call me wrong for doing as I please...; June 15, 2015 at 4:26 PM

This happens every election now, absolutely the same format, same tactics and at the end, we end up with a MARXIST winning.

Jeb Bush isn't a MARXIST but he is NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE BASE, and so therefore, the base walks away and the MARXISTS WIN AGAIN.

THIS, is not accidental! It is contrived and deliberate. There is no backlash from the party "leadership" and so therefore it may be assumed that they are in this up to their necks. Obviously the funding is coming from the other side as well.; June 16, 2015 at 11:14 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.
