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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
