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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
