James T. Hodgkinson is responsible for the actions he took Wednesday in shooting U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise and three others, former state Sen. Kelli Ward said Thursday.
However, she said, the possibility is there that his rage may have been fueled by harsh online rhetoric. The shooter’s social media posts contained political rants critical of Republicans and calling President Donald Trump a “traitor” and stating that “it’s time to destroy Trump & Co.” |

The problem arises when you are on the side of First Principles, individual liberty and patriotism, and the other side has as its comprehensive goal the destruction and replacement of the very ethos of this country.
They seek to "fundamentally transform" it from a nation of laws, unalienable rights and individual autonomy to a top-down dictatorship concealed behind the disingenuous façade of "democracy".
Enemies, not fellow countrymen. And no amount of high-sounding platitudes will change it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
