Betting against Elon

I wouldn’t, but could be that’s just me.

AT&T CEO says Elon Musk’s SpaceX phone strategy not “viable”
Elon Musk’s plan to turn SpaceX into a major threat to the legacy telecom companies is “not a viable strategy,” AT&T CEO John Stankey tells Axios.

Why it matters: Musk and SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell recently touted their plan to turn the company’s Starlink satellite business into a global competitor to traditional phone-and-internet-service companies.

Driving the news: AT&T is betting on its strategy of deploying fiber infrastructure to boost its internet business at a time when AI is driving booming demand.

  • The company on Tuesday announced a $3 billion deal with Corning to provide the infrastructure, saying fiber is three times faster than satellite.
  • “Nothing beats it,” Stankey told Axios in an interview, adding that “satellite, at its best — if everything happens right over the next 10 years” — is “still not going to beat fiber.”

State of play: Starlink already competes with traditional telecom companies for home and business internet customers — and SpaceX is now talking about a mobile business that would put it in more direct competition with wireless carriers.

  • “I anticipate us to be able to acquire quite a few of their customers because I think our service will be better,” Shotwell said in August on SpaceX’s first earnings call after going public.
  • The shot across the bow caused shares to drop the next day for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

Could be Mr Stankey is correct, could be he ain’t. Certainly, his bluff, can-do positivity is the right stance for a CEO in his position to be taking. We’ll see how it all shakes out soon enough, I reckon.

Myself, I’m nothing like tech-savvy enough to offer a useful opinion on the matter way or another. That said, though, I think we’ve all seen enough of Mr Musk by now to know that betting against him is not usually the way you wanna be going. And that, laddie-buck, is about as far out on this particular limb as I’m willing to extend myself.

Via Insty, who kinda-sorta endorses my above reticence as follows: “PEOPLE KEEP SAYING ELON CAN’T DO THINGS, BUT THEIR TRACK RECORD IS POOR.” T’is indeed, buddy-ro. T’is indeed.

They let ’em GO?!?

Just in case any of you out there had made the mistake of assuming that Burnham would be—HAD to be, actually—any kind of improvement over Starmer.

UK believes Iran involved in RAF Fairford incident, Burnham says
The government believes that Iran played a part in the RAF Fairford incident which resulted in five men being arrested and then bailed, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said.

“There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford,” he told the BBC. He did not provide further details.

Well, I mean, y’know, like, D’UH. Is there any sinister jihadi cookie-jar Iran DOESN’T have a hand—BOTH hands, s’cuse me—jammed deeply, inextricably into, all the way up to the elbows?

Iran has responded, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying the UK leader was “barking up the wrong tree”.

“I can confirm Iran’s belief that releasing supposed terrorists working for foreign states really says it all,” he wrote on social media.

Of course, the Iranians are perennial, irredeemable liars, but with that last bit I must admit he’s onto something.

Asked why the suspects had been released on bail – a decision which has been openly questioned by President Donald Trump – Burnham insisted the men were subject to the “strictest possible bail conditions”.

Another patent, transparent lie, establishing once again that the Persians do NOT have a corner on that market. As for Trump “openly questioning” the craven, incroyable decision by the UK to cut these malefactors loose on their own recognizance, more or less, the usual shitlib suspects will squeal like stuck pigs about it, but he’s absolutely right to do so.

In truth, he wouldn’t be much of a US Prez-mo-dent, or any kind of an American either, if he hadn’t. Honestly, this sudden catch-and-release maneuver is eminently questionable, to say the least; more to the point, forrmerly-Great Britainistan’s government’s weird move is outright dodgy, among severa otherl likewise-unpleasant possibilities. Thus:

Speaking at the White House on Monday, Trump said: “I will tell you, I would have said, ‘don’t let them have bail’. I’m surprised that they released them. I wouldn’t have done that.”

But Burnham said: “I think people need to understand that when it says released – that isn’t as people might think. It’s obviously with the strictest possible bail conditions.

“The authorities have this under the strongest grip and closest control, and I can assure you of that.”

Uh huh, RIGHT. Ten’ll getcha twenty that this aforementioned “strongest grip and closest control” the PM is yapping bonelessly about isn’t anything like as “strong and close” as the gimlet-eyed scrutiny the Brits will be enforcing against the 80-plus-year-old Grandma who gets her butt caught in the blades of the UK “justice” system. called to answer charges on numerous counts of seriously heinous (no really, you guys!) “crimes” such as Double-Plus Ungoodthink; Wrongspeech; Unlawful Melanin Deficiency in a Public Place; Looking Illegally Askance at Our Dark-Complected Brethren; Aggravated Covert Raycississisming; or, say, Uttering a Discouraging Word sotto voce after having been hurled violently to the pavement, stripped altogether nekkid in broad daylight, and gang-Culturally Enriched by fifteen (15) Pakistani Youths™ in downtown Brixton last week.

And if for some bizarre, incomprehensible reason Duly Constituted British and/or Europeen Authority failed in their sworn, sacred duty to see to it that Granmaw got hers last week—in fullest measure, no stinting, holding back, or pulling of a single punch—you may rest assured she will NEXT week, or the week after that at the absolute latest. As the great old t-shirt/bumper sticker/whatever slogan once opined in reference to snipers, so it now is for the traditional English Gramma:

Why run? You’ll only die tired. After all, it’s not as if there’s anyplace left in Aulde Blighty to run to anyways.

PROGRESS update! A wave becomes a current becomes a tide becomes a tsunami. Hopefully so, at any rate.

More Countries Are Introducing Laws Targeting Religious Customs
Portugal has enacted a new law banning most face coverings in public, adding the country to a growing list of European nations that restrict garments such as the burka and niqab.

President António José Seguro signed the measure after it was adopted in Lisbon in July with support from a right-wing governing coalition, according to GB News.

Although frequently described as Portugal’s “burka law,” the legislation does not expressly single out Islam. Instead, it prohibits clothing intended to conceal or obstruct a person’s face in public.

Gotta love that “…Laws Targeting Religious Customs” scare-propagandizing, don’tcha? Don’t necessarily have to “expressly single out” Pisslam at this stage anyways; nobody’s gonna need to resort to any blind SWAG-work (ie, the venerable old Scientific Wild-Ass Guess) as to what’s being proscribed here, nor the reason for it. Leastways, if the Holy Catholic Church has started requiring full-face-concealing garb for its female congregants, I ain’t heard about it as of yet. Could be a different story for the nuns, I dunno.

There are several exceptions. Face coverings remain permissible for professional and health purposes as well as certain artistic, advertising and entertainment activities.

The restrictions also do not apply in places of worship or at holy sites. Aircraft and certain diplomatic and consular circumstances are similarly exempt.

Those distinctions have not stopped human-rights organizations from arguing that Muslim women who wear full-face veils will bear the practical consequences of the legislation.

João Godinho Martins, executive director of Amnesty International in Portugal, called the measure “a threat to human rights.”

“Despite having removed direct references to Islam, which were a part of previous versions of the text, this new law clearly violates the human rights of Muslim women who choose to cover their faces,” Martins said. “It is a direct threat to their freedom of expression and freedom of religion.”

Uh huh, right, assmunch. Funny, but I haven’t noticed any indignant, fretful noises emanating from either you or your organization concerning Moslem women’s “freedom of expression and…religion” in any other context, nor in any Moslem nations either. Gee, wonder why that might be.

My favorite bit is coming up, which you’ll recognize from the boldface I’ll be using for it.

Portugal is far from the first European country to legislate on the issue.

According to the Express, 24 other countries have imposed burka or face-covering restrictions of some kind. European countries with such measures include France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway and Luxembourg, though the scope and legal structure of their restrictions differ.

Niiiice. Enough so to warm the cockles of even my cold, black heart, I gotta tell ya. Fingers and/or toes crossed (no, I do NOT have any toes anymore, sad to say) that it won’t turn out to be just another damnable instance of way too llittle, way too late.

Not as Red as they think they are

The “capitalism” these know-nothing lunkheads claim they hate so bad…AIN’T.

Gen Z voters hate capitalism — but they’ve barely even seen it
Young voters are financially drowning — and the life raft the Democratic Socialists of America is throwing them is an anchor in disguise.

If Americans don’t see past this facade, they’ll be sinking even faster.

Consider a typical 22-year-old, fresh out of college with a business degree and a decent entry-level job in a booming city like Austin, Texas.

Rent eats a third of his paycheck, while nearly one-fifth of it goes to commuting costs.

He’s paying down tens (if not hundreds) of thousands in student loans.

Without help from Mom and Dad, a down payment on a home is decades away, as is marriage.

Little wonder that only 9% of voters under 30 have a “very positive” view of capitalism, or that nearly 60% of voters aged 18 to 24 want a Democratic Socialist to win the White House in 2028, according to a recent Heartland/Rasmussen poll.

Young voters are right that the system is failing them.

They’re wrong, though, about which system it is.

What they’ve experienced isn’t free-market capitalism at all — it’s a quasi-socialist economy that’s let government displace the market in precisely the spending categories that have become least affordable.

Turning further toward socialism means embracing the anchor that’s already weighing them down.

Just look at where their pain is already concentrated: education, housing and health care.

These are among the most regulated, subsidized and government-directed sectors of the American economy, and therefore the least like capitalism.

It’s no coincidence they’re also the least affordable.

What they’ve experienced isn’t free-market capitalism at all — it’s a quasi-socialist economy that’s let government displace the market in precisely the spending categories that have become least affordable.

Turning further toward socialism means embracing the anchor that’s already weighing them down.

Highlighting yet again the sheer diabolical genius of people like Alinski, Gramsci, Croly, Marcuse, and all the rest of the Lesser Demons.

Moar Sophie, STAT!

Go on, just you TRY and tell me my girl Sophie C ain’t just completely, totally adorable. Just try.

Brass Knuckle Boys

In the course of putting a bunch of BPs music on a Flash drive for Goose, my old H-D shop boss, I ran across a three-minute slice of purest punk rock fury called “Once You Go Rat” by a Kentucky band yclept Brass Knuckle Boys. To wit:

01 Once You Go Rat.m4a.

Hopefully, that embed will work properly. If not, try this one:

Note that this version lops off the very end to run a lame fadeout instead, unlike the .m4a embed above, which version includes the proper ending.

Feel-good story of the year

God bless Israel, and the Israeli people.

What we know about stabbing on Flydubai flight to Israel
A flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was diverted to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after one pilot stabbed the other and “apparently tried to crash the plane”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.

The pilot was arrested and is being questioned by Saudi authorities, Netanyahu added.

The plane’s captain and first officer were injured and taken to hospital, the company that owns the Saudi Arabian airport said, while the airline Flydubai confirmed all passengers are safe and accounted for.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has called the incident an “attempted jihadist terror attack”. The BBC is yet to receive official statements from police, emergency services, or investigators regarding any motive.

Via Ace, who adds:

The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, thanks to the Israelis aboard “committing a genocide” on the terrorist.

I’m sure that’s what CAIR will be saying any minute. When the Israelis beat the shit out of the terrorist attempting to kill them, did you know they killed 750,000 Gazan children? It’s true. An Arab journalist said it. So it must be true.

Heh. Indeed. Ace also has the feel-good picture of the year, featuring one of the passengers who broke into the cockpit and beat the raghead sumbitch who attempted to hijack the flight absolutely bloody. To wit:

There, feels damned good, don’t it?

A little history

tLakeside Joe provides the Cliff’s Notes version of the Muslim Brotherhood’s origins.

Islam’s Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, a 22 year old Muslim who admired Hitler’s hatred of the Jews and persistently wrote to Hitler to express his admiration and his desire for Hitler’s Nazi Party to collaborate with Islam.

When Hitler rose to power, his Nazis supported al-Banna, a school teacher, to grow the Muslim Brotherhood into its ally in the Middle East; by 1938, the membership of Muslim Brotherhood topped 200,000.

During World War II, members of the Muslim Brotherhood spied for Hitler’s Nazis in the Middle East and fought for Hitler as Nazi troops in two specially formed Muslim Waffen-SS Handschar Divisions (see Religion of Peace). ‘Handschar’ is German for scimitar, the curved saber used by the Islamic troops of the Ottoman empire.

Above is Hitler with Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and a close ally of al-Banna, in Berlin, where he lived as Hitler’s VIP guest from 1941 to 1945 before joining al-Banna in Egypt in 1946.

Funny, innit, how interwoven all Earthly evil seems to be?

Bibi straightens out UN assholes

Just telling it like it is, that’s sll. Which you can be sure is really going to chap the ass of certain types, who always seem to have their little panties in a bunch over some lame-ass bullshit or other anyway.

Netanyahu at the United Nations
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently been a powerful and clear public speaker, and he kept that pattern as he passionately spoke before the United Nations on Thursday. Before he even said a word, dozens of delegates left the room in protest of Israel’s very existence, but Netanyahu was not deterred and spent the next 40 minutes dispersing truths to these “moral cowards.” Here are some of the highlights:

  • Bibi started off talking about how the victory over Iran is a victory for the West and how many leaders of the hypocritical countries who had just walked had privately called and thanked him for Israel to do what they never had the courage to do.
  • He then spoke about his deceased brother and the Six-Day War. He reminded the world that this war was again a situation where Israel was vastly outnumbered, yet triumphed. Bibi pointed out that this was before Israel even controlled the territories that the world is now saying all attacks on Israel are about: Gaza, Judea-Samaria, and the Golan. He relayed his dead brother’s words as a mantra: “We’re going to win. We have no other choice.”
  • Netanyahu spoke in detail about the horrors of October 7, the evils of Hamas, and the 7-front war Israel has been fighting for three years. He went on to talk about the actions and war in Judea-Samaria, followed by his praise of the partnership of Israel and the United States.

Bibi echoed words that I had said on Rosh Hashanah about the dangers of social media; the antisemitic lies of media in general; and described the media campaigns against Israel as an “eighth front.” He called out by name the nation of Qatar, and how it has taken over so many Western universities and media. He pointed out other problems with Qatar, including the funding of Hamas and the housing of its leaders. He went on to talk about Turkey and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the “tyrant,” and countered the lies that are used to attack Israel by the media. He took particular aim at Zohran Mamdani, calling out his hatred for Jews.

As he discussed antisemites and this eighth front, Netanyahu made a powerful statement: “The days when Jews were defenseless victims, marched to the slaughter, are over. Today, we have a state. Today, we have an army. Today, we have a people ready and willing to defend ourselves.”

You tell ’em, Bibi. Hopefully, the US will always be right there at your side, armed and ready to stand with you to the end, because the enemy Jews have been battling for several centuries is the selfsame implacable, hate-driven, bloodthirsty., mindlessly genocidal, semi-literate, feral Moslem foe confronting Americans (which country the Muzzrats have referred to as “The Great Satan” for the last, oh fifty years or so, BTW) as well.

Update! Did somebody say something about a “shared enemy” just now? Why, yes; yes, I believe someone did.

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America
The organization hosting the event has plans for a 40,000-square-foot Islamic facility near Plano, Texas

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

He went on to argue that Muslims are fully within their constitutional rights to adhere to Sharia law. “We’re Muslims. That’s our identity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Constitution of this country protects that. That’s our right to believe in the Sharia. Yes, I said it. That’s our right.

Like hell it is, goat-fucker. I’ve read the US Constitution so many times it’s come to be as familiar to me as the inside of my mouth, but I can recollect no endorsement, commendation, or anything whatsoever about any “right” to believe in or practice your stupid sharia law, but there’s a whole section condemning your right to force it on others against their will.

In fact, our Founding Fathers rejected Pisslam entirely, and despised Moslems as the dangerous,
quasi-human drains on Western Civ that they are.

In the wake of President Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and his earlier calls for a blanket Muslim ban, debate has raged about religious freedom in America and the degree to which Muslims are protected under the First Amendment. Those on the far right often contend that Islam is incompatible with democracy and “Western civilization”. Muslims, they argue, will undermine democratic institutions, seeking to establish Sharia law.
Which they say so themselves—openly, pridefully, unashamedly.

The Founding Fathers talked about Islam quite a bit, and it was almost always negative. Even with stories of Islamic terrorism dominating news feeds for the last couple decades, the average American of 1800 had a much dimmer view of Islam than the average American of 2017. It was precisely because Islam was so universally mistrusted in early America that it served as an ideal rhetorical device in debating the extent of religious freedom in the new republic. Should religious freedom extend to all religions or only to different Protestant sects? Only Christians? Should non-Protestants be allowed to hold office? Would it be possible that a Muslim could openly practice his religion, vote, and even be elected to office?

Most colonists got their views of Islam not through America’s earliest Muslims, but through European attitudes toward Islam. Since Islam’s inception in the 7th century, there was a fundamental rift between the new religion and Christianity. Muslims, viewing their religion as the final, perfect version of God’s revelation, allowed for a semi-tolerance of Christianity and Judaism as “people of the book”, as they were imperfect revelations that had come before. 8 For Christians on the other hand, Islam was openly heretical. It is no mistake that in Dante’s Inferno, Muhammad occupies the eighth circle of Hell along with the other “schismatics”.

As he should; Dante, driven by a creative fire and artistic vision most of us can’t even begin to imagine, was definitely onto something when he put Mohammad in his proper place: Hell.

Go live in Tehran, Addis Ababa, or Mogadishu, fuckface; you and your loathsome, dress-wearing ilk ain’t American, ain’t ever gonna be, and simply don’t belong here. In addition, I cannot find any mention in the Constitution of your “right” to undermine this nation, tear down  its remains, and then remake it according to the Neanderthal, pig-ignorant precepts of your gutter pseudo-religion, thereby forcing your totalitarian shitrapy on a populace strenuously opposed to what you’re doing—those of us who are even aware of it, sadly. At any rate, just git, you foul, warped, sick-minded creature.

Plenty more of this madman’s spittle-flecked, foam-mouthed ravings at the link. Be sure to take note of his plaintive, empty protestations proclaiming his supposed “love” for America, even while declaring his sneak-thieving plan to do away entirely with America as it now exists and construct a very different America in its place. Like his “liberal” allies of convenience, he sure does love him some America…the America tha exists only in his imagination, that is, not the one we actually have.

Wonder if this camel-humping towelhead will bother to keep the old name—the United States of America— or replace it with “Sharialand” or “Allahcountry” or “Dar al Harbia” or something else more suitable.

A look ahead

Miguel GFZ takes a look at the ugly, trying days to come.

59% of Democrats polled directly support a military coup d’etat with an extra13% not giving a shit if it happens. That is a total of 72% of D-Assholes willing to burn the ship they are riding (and us) as long as the captain dies. They are willing to kill America both the idea and the people.

And that is enough for you to understand why so many of them are voting Socialist/Communist.

I have been thinking and mulling about this for a while now and I just did not want to openly talk about it, but I believe a very uncivil war will happen sooner than I wish, and we will end up stacking bodies in town squares everywhere because they will do the same to us if we let them.

You will be asked to stop being polite or let politeness be engraved in your tombstone as reason you are no longer breathing.

My thoughts as well. Sure, the prospect of strife, bloodshed, and (un)civil war is indeed horrific beyond comprehension. BUT…the veritable certainty that we’ll end up subjugated, imprisoned, and murdered in job lots by a Communist dictatorship run by the current crop of mentally deranged “liberal” psychos is no less scarifying. They are now openly saying this is what they want to do; as with the jihadis, we really need to take them at their word, not just shrug off their openly-avowed intentions.

What with so many putative Reich-wingers preemptively, obsequiously foreswearing any and every act of violent resistance in defense of American liberty (whatever miserable shreds and tatters are left of it that we haven’t long since given up, that is), it seems that the original valiant, indomitable spirit of our Founding Fathers has been forever lost—rather, willfully abandoned.

As for the poll results Miguel discusses above, I can’t help but be put in mind of Grant’s sharpish riposte to his ranking subordinates who were in dread of the next breakout ass-whupping they were about to get from Lee which, to them, seemed as certain as tomorrow’s sunrise:

Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.

Probably the wisest, best pre-battle advice ever offered to any group of increasingly timorous, drubbing-conditioned field-rank officers, I’d say. In the end, Grant prevailed over one of the most able Generals of all time, as we all know, not so much because of his brilliant generalship and/or tactical acumen, but more because of his own iron will, dogged determination, and plain old guts.

Grant, Lee, Longstreet, Sherman, Jackson, and before them Washington, Nathanael Green, the wily “Swamp Fox” Francis Marion—these men are every natural-born Amercan patriot’s heritage, his proud, legitimate ancestral birthright—not the pusillanimous, cross-dressing, scrotum-licking pussies of the Repugnant Left. Hopefully, we’ll all remember, reclaim, and renew that sacred inheritance ere the end.

A long-overdue move

Wait, whut, you telling me they haven’t been already?

‘Needs to happen’: U.S. lawmakers move to designate American Muslim activists as foreign terror organization
The state of Texas already considers CAIR, the Quran-promoting Council on American-Islamic Relations, a terror group.

So do several foreign nations.

Now there’s a move developing in Congress to have CAIR officially labeled as a foreign terrorist group.

A report at the Center Square said the push is coming from key congressional members.

The group has asked the Trump administration to consider designating CAIR, which promotes Islam, as a terror group.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, already had called for that designation.

Now U.S. Rep. Randy Fine, of Florida, is sponsoring a plan to instruct the State Department to determine whether CAIR meets the criteria for an FTO label.

“It is a foreign terrorist organization,” he said in an interview with the Center Square. “I mean, CAIR was founded as an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s the front for Hamas.”

Hamas is the terror organization that several years ago invaded Israel in an act of war and slaughtered some 1,200 civilians, kidnapping hundreds more.

U.S. Rep. Earl S. “Buddy” Carter, of Georgia, said, “It’s something that needs to happen.”

Sheeeeiit, pal, it’s something that should’ve happened YEARS ago. After 9/11/01, it’s somewhat difficult to fathom how it hasn’t…or why.

Notable Quotes

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution

Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Sensing

"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower

"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic

"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan

"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril

"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
—Bill Whittle
