The secret to winning the War for Independence was that we wanted to be free more than the Crown wanted to rule. The secret to being free from any state is that the people want to be free more than the state wants whatever it is it wants.

Greetings!
Externalization is a defense mechanism. AKA isolation, (often masquerading as superiority) it protects the person by changing perceptions of reality, conforming them to a more bearable thing. We all have defense mechanisms, sure, but when they really change reality, they become dangerous to others. You can spend trillions on the mistaken notion that others cannot possibly have a rational reason for disapproval.
Passive-aggressive is another one. It often takes the form of playing stupid or doing things backwards, an infuriating tactic to hold out and vex others.
If you believe that the left in America is out of touch with reality, your instincts are quite correct.
Think November for the best reality check ever.
Liberty,

John Longenecker Safer Streets
Short and sweet: We the Sovereign
 Safer streets will come when we have a return to self-rule. We don't have that today. We had it once. America needs to recognize when our officials are not dealing with us in good faith. How do we know? the comparison of values and integrity is how you know.
Liberty purists refer to it as Oath of Office. Some call it working without supervision. But servants need to have a set of patriotic
values and need to be supervised, or we can't use them. We known them by one thing: when they begin to accuse constituents of hate when we hold them to their oath. Unfit for office.
And that may be all the confirmation we need. The best cure is to sort out who cannot be supervised or trusted, and then unseat them without replacements. That would mean closing tons of agencies, recalling tons of authority and missions, recalling tons of expenditures. It would mean smaller government.
It doesn't matter what they think, how they sputter as they hiss at us, and it doesn't matter what they think they know or how they perceive us.
The very best part is that we don't have to give a reason.
So, change your We the People signage to We the Sovereign.
And think November.

Total ban fails to stop Chinese gun trade
 "A clandestine market for unregistered weapons still exists despite crackdown," reporter Hu Yinan of China Daily informs us.
Illegal traders advertise with graffiti on walls, despite China's near total ban on private gun ownership.
To what effect has the black market succeeded? More . . . __________________________________________________ |

The debilitating nature of Political Correctness
 I have just one question here: If we can't speak the truth about terrorists determined to destroy our children, our culture and ourselves, when can we speak truth? (The politically correct response here is "what is truth?") More . . .

Summertime, 2010
A ccording to Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., the reason the Democratic Party is trailing in the polls is because the voters are "sour" and reluctant to award Democrats for their legislative success.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., attributed her sagging approval rating to voters who are "grumpy" about the sputtering economy. (I suppose there is nothing to the line going around Washington that in an effort to help Boxer hold her California Senate seat, the White House is going to rename the San Andreas Fault "Bush's fault") More . . ______________________________________________________ |

Our Clueless Professor
 [...] A decent respect for the opinions of one's fellow Americans would seem to shout out: Put the mosque somewhere else. This is hallowed ground. This is a burial site sacred to the families of those who died, to New Yorkers, to all Americans. A Muslim mosque is out of place there.
Indeed, if, as backers claim, the purpose of this Cordoba mosque and community center were healing, reconciliation and harmony, it has failed in its purpose. It has already had the opposite effect, enraging and dividing the city and country. More . . __________________________________________________ |
