"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” - Ayn RandLook at how this same concept is currently being put into action by Your Betters®. From Remus at The Woodpile Report;
Michael Lind at Smart Set says, "Politics is only possible in a society in which much, if not most, of social life is not politicized." Here's the corollary. Where all things are politicized, the official position is taken to mean the only position. Therefore there is no official position, or any other position. So the notion of debate is preposterous. There is "the position" and there is hate. That's all, that's it.

"This quite-clearly appears to document the coordinated incitement of violence for a political purpose. That, I remind you, is the definition of terrorism."Take detailed notes.

"...the conversation must be had: the conversation to amend the Second Amendment. To collapse private gun ownership in a way that is Just and true. So that our lives can have a little less worry, a little less pain. Because there is no denying: Guns are power.After stripping away all the nuance of social and political discourse, we are left with mankind’s masterpiece of control. Look at your dominant hand. Gently, point your index finger at the screen and then close it.You just pulled the trigger.And what’s more? That simple motion has tipped into the mind of literally millions of people and caused them despair, anguish, defeat..."Note the insistence that "Just," is somehow correct, when LEGAL is the appropriate term.
"..A pattern of Constitutional disillusion on top of regulatory negligence has enabled the majority of our nation’s gun owners to stockpile weaponry..."

"...Most people paying attention are aware that the statists feel the dirt people are an existential threat. While we are a productive lot, productivity that can be replaced by Third World refugees who are not armed, uneducated and used to living in a centralized state, we are not irreplaceable. To put a fine point on it, we are not needed, and more importantly not wanted..."Consider how these "resettlement," actions are panning out in most locales and consider the known consequences of doing so elsewhere. Some are quicker than others.

"College science classes are hostile to women and minorities because they use the scientific method, which assumes people can find reliable truths about the natural world through careful and sustained experimentation, concludes a recent dissertation by a doctoral candidate at the University of North Dakota."

"Taxing 65 percent of large private fortunes will not significantly affect the lifestyles of the super-rich. But if the government taxes that wealth and transfers it to non-rich Americans, most of it will vanish in current consumption. By contrast, when the rich are allowed to retain ownership of wealth, much of it becomes the capital that is invested in business enterprises where it provides jobs for non-rich Americans and produces goods and services that uplift society’s standard of living. Like the old Chinese proverb says, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Capital is better than a short-term handout, for it enables men and women to support those families for many years."

"With the November elections fewer than 40 days away, the Department of Homeland Security is approving as many citizenship applications as it can to try to increase the number of voters."Color me utterly unsurprised.
