What should we do? We are in an ongoing culture war.
Responsibility is out. Victimhood is in. We see political examples of cultural cleansing where liberal politicians want to eliminate a conservative culture. People who love liberty should advocate for a better culture rather than be on the defensive.
For example, what should we do if self-defense was more than a right we tolerate, but was actually a virtue we promote? Here are guerrilla tactics in the private and public spheres of the culture war.
Please leave your suggestion. What should we do? |

I think it is the perfect moment to bring up a bit of ammunition in our argument that self defense is a virtue. If the passengers on flight 92 were exercising their right to self defense of 9-11-01, then self defense is demonstrably a good thing. If they were counter attacking against the criminal terrorists they were correct. If they were resisting being drafted, against their will, into a suicidal kamikaze attack then they were justified. Use that argument and see if the antis can counter it. Self defense is not vigilantism; it is legal, moral and ethical |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
