Defending scoundrels


"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." – H.L. Mencken

Once again, it is being hammered into my brain that defending liberty means defending scoundrels and people I don’t like, who are doing things I don't like, but that violate no one's life, liberty, or property.

Then there are those who are violating others, and demand I defend their "right" to do so. That's not going to happen.
