The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy. — Thomas Sowell

When a government controls both the economic power of individuals and the coercive power of the state…this violates a fundamental rule of happy living: Never let the people with all the money and the people with all the guns be the same people. –P. J. O’Rourke

Having Constitutional Carry is rapidly becoming the bright line that separates free states from those run by would-be totalitarians. – Streiff

For some reason I’m thinking a country that kills its own citizens by the thousands for defying them & screams “Death to America” may not possess the ability to “Negotiate in good faith”. Excuse me for my lack of optimism

If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government that is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. — James Madison

Maybe the people saying Black people are too stupid to get an ID to vote…
are the racists.

Maybe the people saying married women can’t figure out how to get a birth certificate…
are the sexists.

Maybe the people calling everyone else a threat to democracy…
are the ones trying to rig it.

Maybe the people obsessed with “equity” while ignoring merit…
are the ones holding people back.

Maybe the people who can’t name a single limit on immigration…
are the extremists.

Maybe the people who say they’re fighting for the working class…
while flying private, actually aren’t.

Maybe the people who say they care about the poor…
have run every major American city for 50 years and made them ALL worse.

Maybe the people calling for more gun control…
travel with armed security paid for by taxpayers.

Maybe the people who claim to love science…
but can’t define what a woman is aren’t following it.

Maybe the people demanding unity while calling half the country fascists…
don’t actually want unity.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Maybe it was never about justice, equity, tolerance, or democracy.

Maybe it was always about power.

And maybe the way you know that, is that they never stop accusing YOU of exactly what THEY are doing.

Matt Van Swol

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?
— Patrick Henry
