I have a few pre-written blogs so you won't miss me too much, but if you post a comment and I don't respond for a while, that is why. If I have internet access, I may write some more as I find inspiration, but really, this is what freedom is all about: the freedom to ignore politics and the state (while never forgetting that the Clowns of Coercion are lurking everywhere).
Live free or die? Scratch that! Live free or kill those who would prevent it!* Hey, its better than giving up and dying if they try to take your freedom!
*I don't think this is threatening anyone, but is the very essence of self-defense. If you feel differently, as ENM does, I am sorry, but I don't know any other way to express the commitment to live free without drawing a line in the sand. I have never even hurt anyone, since no one has ever crossed that line (or at least no one has crossed it and stayed across). I hope no one ever forces me to make that decision, but to equivocate about whether I will defend my life and my liberty would be exactly the way the aggressors would like for us to all act. They want us to be too afraid to say "No more!" That just leads to more aggression and less liberty.

It really isn't a good idea to threaten to kill people. After all, if you ever do have to kill someone in self-defense, statements like that will be used against you to show that you were of the mindset to kill someone.
ReplyDeleteTrue....ish... I didn't see Kent threaten to kill anyone in particular, though, just that theoretical set of those who might violate his liberty.
ReplyDeleteThat is what the flag's about, no?
Who did I threaten to kill? It is like those signs the military posts: "Use of deadly force authorized". Are they threatening to kill me?
ReplyDeletePuleez! You shouldn't have to tip toe around just to act politically correct. This is the exact kind of self policing that stinks. Suzanne
