Today, “Screamin’ Meemie Monday,” I ran this over at the Eyrie:




Having gotten a perfect score on those 20, it got me to thinking about another meme I had picked up from MWC not long ago, whereupon I decided to ask a question of my own.




Okay, all you old geezers, how many got it right? Heh.


Update! Just checked to make sure, and I might be wrong on that one: the character tied to the tracks could actually be Nell Fenwick, although Nell had flaming red hair, and the girl above looks to be more blonde than red.

Is a Great English Awakening at long last at hand? Has The Power finally stepped over a Big Red Line, done and said things that are too objectionable, too flagrantly obnoxious, even monstrous, to be borne without vociferous, active protest? Can these protests amount to anything worthwhile, or are we seeing just another case of way too little, way too late? Bootneck Major has a look-see.




The Dover Protest: Observations


This being my neck of the woods, I thought I’d take a trip down to see what all the fuss is about.


In fact, I can’t get anywhere near the seafront because of the extensive road closures, so I’m having to rely largely on the imagery available online.


Several things stand out.


Firstly, the tactics.


Whatever the adequacy of the police intelligence beforehand, the protest itself appears to involve considerable planning. The logistics, coordination and timing look extremely well organised.


Then there is the demeanour of the protesters. Almost silent. Non-violent. Disciplined.


Their clothing is coordinated and remarkably uniform. I use the term “uniform” deliberately.


The near-universal face covering also frustrates identification and subsequent intelligence gathering. Whether that is its principal purpose or not, it is certainly the effect.


Most strikingly, there is a conspicuous absence of the nationalist imagery normally associated with protests of this kind. Few, if any, English flags. Instead, there is a preponderance of Christian symbolism.


This creates the impression of something framed less as a conventional “far-right” demonstration and more as a cultural and spiritual show of strength.




Hmmm, interesting indeed, I think. That said, and without wishing to rain on any parades here, I do nonetheless retain serious doubt as to whether what needs to be done can ever possibly BE done without resort to what we’ll call the Kelly Bundy Option: swift and blinding violence.


Can any of us really be so deluded as to imagine that these greedy, grubby baglappers might actually step down from their cozy, too-lucrative sinecures just because of some nonviolent street protests, however widespread they may be? It is to laugh.


It saddens me no end to have to say it, but all the organization, discipline, dedication, and careful planning in the world ain’t ever gonna alter the one inescapable truth: No, it ain’t ever gonna happen. I could easily be all wet about this, and desperately hope that I will be proven so ere the end. Alas, I don’t expect to be. Back over to BM for some closing thoughts.




We should be careful about claiming to know precisely who is organising it, or what every participant believes. But we should be equally careful not to dismiss what is plainly being communicated.


These men are angry. Really, deeply angry. They appear disciplined, organised and intent on demonstrating both their frustration and their strength.


Whatever one thinks of them, that is the significant point. This does not look spontaneous, chaotic or unserious.


It looks deliberate.


And it would be foolish not to ask what comes next.




I’ll put a solid “yes” to that sentiment, and keep on wishing the best for these hardy, put-upon Brits. Godspeed to you, dear Cousins;  may your efforts to reclaim your nation from treacherous, brazen ProPols in league with your demonic enemies be crowned with success. May said success enable you to return England to the English people who are its rightful stewards.


Be assured, there is a large like-minded cohort over here across the Pond who—having observed your ever more tragic plight with anguish, horror, and a choking, mushrooming fury—have been heartened by this recent protests against this patent bullshitm, confirming your flat, unequivocal rejection of the unfeeling, inhumane, self-serving skullduggery of your criminally perfidious Lords and Masters. We will be watching your progress closely, and with great interest.

What with all the Batshit Left rubber-room refugees loose and running wild all over the place these days, you had to know it was just a matter of time before the lunatics were gonna go there.




The Lindsay Clancy case has brought the TikTok Detective bureau out of the shadows. These women, experts in everything from police procedure to medicine, psychology, forensic evidence collection, law, military tactics, and nuclear physics are on the case and have declared Lindsay to be not guilty for reasons ranging from insanity to “her husband did it.”


Of course claims she didn’t do it at all for some reason, including claims that it was her husband are demonstrably false. As evidence, we can take the word of her attorney. No, not the attorney in the current criminal trial, but her attorney from January, where she was the plaintiff in a lawsuit against her doctor. I’m posting a pdf of the notes from the case and the actual complaint filed with the Norfolk, Mass. court (pdf warning).

Which he promptly does, evincing neither remorse nor shame over this act of ugly, woman-h8er bigotry. What the hell are you anyhow, DM, some kind of dangerous anti-feminist Nazi or sumpin’?


“Her husband did it.” And I will guar-on-gottdamn-TEE you that most of the crazy cat-ladies spewing this insane swill really do believe it, too. Over the 60-plus-year course of my life, this formerly great nation has definitely lost its way, having been turned upside down, inside out, and torn to pieces by the E-ville Left©.


Lots more to this most excellent piece still, of which you will surely want to read the all.

192 House Dems refuse to disavow socialism in telling vote ahead of midterms: ‘Insidious movement’
Almost every House Democrat on Tuesday voted against a congressional resolution disavowing socialism and calling for the enactment of President Trump’s election security bill.


The non-binding resolution, introduced by Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.), asked lawmakers to condemn and denounce “socialism in all its forms,” including the increasingly influential Democratic Socialists of America movement, and oppose the implementation of socialist policies in the US.


The resolution passed in a 220-192 vote, with 192 Democrats opposing the measure.


Eight Democrats voted with all Republicans in support of the resolution: Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Darren Soto (D-Fla.), Jared Golden (D-Maine),

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), Don Davis (D-NC) and Gabe Vasquez (D-NM).


Two Democrats voted present: Reps. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH).


“The DSA candidate platform stands in direct contrast to our republic,” Crank charged ahead of the vote. “Getting rid of the United States Senate, open borders, defunding the police, allowing non-citizens to vote in federal elections — those aren’t consistent with our Constitution.


“DSA is an insidious movement within the Democratic Party.”




Let’s not kid ourselves, Rep Crank; this is but a sign o’ the times, no more, no less. The D卐M☭CRATs are and have for many years been far more socialist than not.


The fact that no more than eight (8) of these foul fiends could bring themselves to openly stake out a position flatly denouncing a totalitarian/authoritarian ideology which—in addition to the misery, human suffering, and staggering number of deaths it has directly inflicted—stands in diametric opposition to and contradiction of the Founding principles upon which this once-great nation still (nominally, shakily) stands. The self-serving cowardice seen here says everything we’ll ever need to know about the contemptible shitweasels.


Forget about actually opposing socialism/Marxism/Communism/whatevs. Forget about taking effective action to reverse socialism’s slo-mo creep through American government, institutions, and culture. Forgot about the gormless, puling invertebrates troubling themselves to take a stand for their own country, its people, and its future, if any. Forget about the fact that socialism has filed every time, in every place and circumstance, in which it has tried. Forget about all that; these D卐M☭CRAT dastards couldn’t even muster the cojones to make the non-binding token gesture that a “Yea” vote would’ve amounted to.


My God, even their dishonesty is fundamentally dishonest, it would seem.


So sure, let them crawl, let them creep; let them writhe and dissemble all they like trying to mumble, grumble, mutter, and moan their way out of the spot they’ve put themselves in. Whatever barrage of duplicity and/or misrepresentation they attempt to cloak themselves with, the factual reality of who and what they are speaks for itself, period fucking DOT. Trust the treacherous, venomous serpents at your own grave peril, and don’t be acting all surprised when you get yourself bitten, either.


“Insidious,” you said? Sorry, Charlie, “insidious” don’t even BEGIN to cover this.

Y’know, the thing I hate most about this awful, terrible, double-plus ungood Trumphitler regime is that not a man jack of them shows the slightest sign of having any kind of sense of humor, at ALL.




Vance’s RFK Jr. Weight-Loss Story Takes a Hilarious Turn at Rubio’s Expense
But one of the funniest moments was when he was asked about his weight loss by Fox’s Peter Doocy. “You’ve lost a ton of weight lately,” Doocy asked. “How much sauerkraut do you eat every day?” That made Vance laugh.


Vance explained how he thought he was going to give up sugar and social media for Lent. He described how he called Bobby Kennedy (Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.). Kennedy said he had something far better for Vance, and “way more intense.” Vance explained how RFK then had him eating a lot of high-protein stuff and sauerkraut. “Let’s just say if that was Fat Tuesday, Fat Wednesday never came.”


“So my advice to you is, if you want to lose weight, call Bobby Kennedy. But if you want to enjoy what you eat, do not call Bobby Kennedy,” he laughed.


Secretary Kennedy’s response was funny. Not only did he respond to Vance with a picture showing him being fed sauerkraut, but Kennedy trolled Secretary of State Marco Rubio as well.




And did he ever. To wit:










Heh. That Marco and his fuggin’ Pop Tarts.




Miller asked (Rubio) if he was MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) like Kennedy. He said he supported it, at which point his wife interrupted and said definitively no, he was not adhering to healthy eating recommendations. She revealed he ate Pop-Tarts. Marco protested that it was one of man’s great “innovations in the history of the world and comes in a beautiful foil package.” His wife said he eats “all the things he should not be eating. Every single thing.”




Yeah, no yocks from these stoneface killjoys, not EVAR.


Marco’s Pop Tart assessment, especially that “beautiful foil package” tag-line, just lays me right the fuck out.

Well, you know.




Insurrection for Real
“The Democrat agenda is to legalize crime and criminalize the middle class.”—Stephen Miller


Not to put too fine a point on it: but whenever a lawfare ninja of the Democratic Party utters the phrase “our democracy,” you must know that they are completely full of shit. For sure, they do not mean anything remotely related to an American commonweal, as understood by people of sound mind and good faith. What they mean by “our democracy” is the state as a racketeering operation run for the sole benefit of their party members, along with the ruthless power to annihilate their opponents and critics.


The war-cry “our democracy” only signifies how degenerate they have become. Though they yearn to win control of Congress in these midterm elections by any means necessary, the party’s actual prospects are not so great, having nominated a pack of obvious morons and reprobates such as Abdul el-Sayed (MI), James Talarico (TX), Angie Nixon (FL), Troy Jackson (ME), and Peggy Flanagan (MN) for the US Senate.


Now, it appears that President Donald Trump is determined to clean up our fraud-ridden election process this year, one way or another. Hopes are nearly dead for Congress passing a comprehensive election reform law, the SAVE Act, so he has looked to other measures. One is a procedure for the US Postal Service to match and track mail-in ballots to real persons with actual addresses listed on state voter rolls. The matter is still working through courts. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division has pledged to send about 1000 election monitors to polling places around the country as “observers,” which could obviate arrant shenanigans like the broken toilet ploy in Fulton County, GA, 2020.


All that is a prelude to a disturbing roll-out of events that anyone paying attention can see coming this fall. The Democratic Party has massive resources not just to stall and obstruct pre-election reform, but to mount a vicious resistance after the fact if it doesn’t produce their desired result. They could go as far as to repudiate the election, refuse to accept its results. If the president does issue that NatSec EO prior to the election, blue state officials could refuse to hold elections under new rules. Thirty states have already refused to comply with DOJ demands to submit their official voter rolls for evaluation. Some of the aforementioned activist NGOs have promised post-election street actions (demonstrations that could easily turn into riots).


In the face of that, you can foresee the necessity of the president having to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1878 (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255). The act provides an exception to the Posse Commitatus Act, also 1878, which forbids the use of the US military to act as police inside the USA. Under the Insurrection Act, the president can federalize states’ national guard units to enforce federal law or protect constitutional rights when ordinary civilian means are not enough.


The Act has been used before in our history about thirty times by fifteen presidents, including the Great Railway Strike of 1877 (Pres. Hayes); the Pullman Strike of 1894 (Pres. Cleveland); the Little Rock School Desegregation resistance of 1957 (Pres. Eisenhower sent in the 82nd Airborne). Pres. Lyndon Johnson invoked it three times: the Selma to Montgomery March of 1965; the Detroit riots of 1967; and the riots that followed the Assassination of Martin Luther King, 1968. Pres. George H. W. Bush used it in 1994 to quell the Rodney King Riots in Los Angeles.


If Mr. Trump invokes the Insurrection Act around any violence or organized election rebellion this year, he will invite the Democrats to label him an autocrat, a tyrant, a wannabe king, as they have been taunting him and goading him with for years. Let’s suppose that will be enough to inflame the party’s activists. I think you can see how this lays the groundwork for something that looks like a new civil war. The repudiation of election results by blue states would be enough.




If they’re gonna smear him anyway, regardless of what he does or does not—and they ARE going to, and we all know it—then who gives a flying fig what they may say? Let ’em whine, let ’em bitch, let ’em cavil and threaten and bluster to their hearts’ content, and just go ahead and do the things that need doing and leave them to their bubbling, frothy misery.


Then, if in response they start in with yet another round of their patented violent fascist rioting, looting, and burning, then shoot their scraggly, seditious asses and leave ’em lay to bleed out in the street, in job lots. As great American Curtis LeMay knew: if you kill enough of them they stop fighting.


As I’ve said lo, these many times: if they really think they want another Civil War, then they should be given one…good and hard, until the very thought of such a horrific eventuality makes them retch their nuts up.


Kunstler goes on from there to close things out with a casual, breezy “Of course, it will be the end of the Democratic Party.” As if that were a bad thing, somehow.

Recall the Bush family’s “New World Order”, the “Thousand Points of Light”, etc. All of which was nothing more than an attempt to sell to the American people communist overlords worldwide.


The current administration is in the process (well into it) of wrecking the anti American “New World Order” and the communists running it, and returning that power to the people.


If you have read some of my previous comments you would know that Iran has sunk zero ships in straight or area’s nearby. Zero, while their navy sits at the bottom of the sea. And yet we have hyperventilation about oil locked up (when it is actually flowing right on through the straight, through other channels, etc.) in the middle east. Why? Because control comes out of London, not the ME, not SA, not Iran, not Iraq. The insurers, the financiers, etc control the flow of oil, or rather – they did.


The USA now controls the straight, has for months now, and oil is flowing, which is why the price has been fairly stable – rising on the words of London, dropping when reality is known. And all along the price of gas at the pump in states not trying to stop Americans is nearly the same as it was in 1975.


“”Since the end of World War II, the central principle of British geopolitics has been keep everyone fighting everyone else, especially the superpowers, while we run the world economy through chokepoints, financial flows, dirty financial flows or otherwise, and proxies,” Kokinda said.”


Read the whole thing (very short) for a bit of an education:

Globalist Panic as Bessent carries out Trump Plan


Iran is just a piece of a much larger and globally comprehensive plan.

Iran was defeated, completely, months ago. They rattle the sabers occasionally at the behest of the London cabal. The world is awash in oil, bad for London, good for us. The worldwide oil market is going to look vastly different by years end.


The US economy is booming. Real jobs are being created. Real investment is being made in factories. The results will show up down the road.


Illegals are being removed, lots of them. The borders are locked down, almost no one is coming in illegally. Under anyone else they would be flowing in and not deported.


“Stay the course” is a good slogan when the course is the right course. There are and will be setbacks and failures, but the course is the right one.

“No. Woman. President. Ever.”

Leave it to Coulter to find the silver lining.




I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.


For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal.


When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re supposed to treat it as if it’s a disease as real as cancer and blame the doctors for not dispensing a magic pill to cure the batty lady.


Whether Lindsay has postpartum psychosis, is bipolar or a witch, to quote another witch, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” She still twisted an exercise band around the neck of her 3-year-old, his little legs kicking, then strangled her 5-year-old daughter until she went limp, before proceeding to garrote her 8-month-old baby.


A woman’s work is never done!


The pink ladies seem to think that if enough of them say, That could have been me, everyone will shout in unison, LET THAT POOR WOMAN GO! as opposed to, No. Woman. President. Ever. Thus, the organizer of the pink ladies, Renee Kimball, said of Clancy, “Any one of us could be sitting in her chair.” Okay, fine. But then none of you should ever be sitting in a chair at the Resolute Desk.




A big fat “Amen” to THAT.

NFL reality check

This isn’t your grandfather’s national professional football league anymore, kiddio. The headline alone kinda gives the game away.




Who Is the Market for Gay NFL Cheerleaders?
The NFL is all about DEI. While its bread and butter is the ruthless, survival-of-the-fittest world of the players, who all have to be men, the league has decided that everything else is subject to experimentation. While players can only play and earn the big bucks if they are good, and they are dropped the second they are of no use to a team, the front office can be packed with people who take up cubicle space and help the league check boxes for the TIDES organization (The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport—M).


To be sure, the league has been careful not to let much of this show. On Sunday, the public mostly sees an over-the-top display of patriotism and a couple of hours of wall-to-wall toxic masculinity. Just what America wants.


In the process, the league makes millions for the teams, the players, the networks, and, most importantly, the sponsors. In fact, you can pretty much assume that the product the NFL puts out is designed at every turn to be a cash-generating machine. In a stadium or on TV on game day, if it moves, someone sponsors it, and the NFL is making money.


In 1984, Lesley Visser of CBS Sports was the first woman to handle the sideline reporting duties for NFL games. Her primary job was to get real-time injury reports during games, but over the years that role has morphed into something else. Network producers, hoping to appeal to the more casual fan, now try to create mid-game narratives or storylines. The sideline reporter, who is now usually a woman, is charged with putting the focus on these storylines throughout the game if she can. Well, that, in addition to asking totally disgruntled head coaches how they feel things are going as they try to escape her for the locker room at halftime.


From a marketing and media perspective, we’ve been told that the primary reason the league wants female sideline reporters is to help grow the female demographic in the fan base. In other words, it’s a business decision. There’s no question the female fan base has grown over the years, but I have yet to meet a woman who likes football because she saw a female sideline reporter on TV.


The same is true for those halftime displays of patriotism. The reason you see them is not because Roger Goodell and his staff are model patriots; it’s because they know that their brand is wrapped in the red, white, and blue, literally. It doesn’t hurt that the league has monetized all of that by securing million-dollar sponsorships from the American armed forces and other adjacent organizations like USAA.


Do you really think those camo uniforms, flyovers, honor guards, and soldiers unfurling an American flag on the field all happen because the NFL cares about the country? Consider this: a year ago, because of the government shutdown, the NFL suspended such activities because the Pentagon’s budget was frozen. In other words, when the money ran out, so did the NFL’s demonstrations of patriotism.


The NFL is big business, and you can’t begrudge the owners for being unabashed capitalists. The country does love pro football, and people very willingly and gladly shell out their hard-earned money to enjoy what the NFL is selling. For the most part, it’s a healthy two-way business relationship where both sides feel they’re getting value out of it.


But to be clear, in the words of the great Michael Corleone in The Godfather, “It’s not personal, Sonny. It’s strictly business.”




Same-same, then, with the decision to stop tuning in and/or watching the NFL altogether. TPTB in the NFL’s executive board rooms think they can do without normal, patriotic American males watching and attending their games? I’d label that an open-and-shut case of Fucking Around, myself. It’s high time they damned well Found Out.

The absolute last word on Dolly Parton would have to be this.




Said a mouthful there, girl. All I can really add to it is a hearty “indeed.”


Update! Unbelievable. Execute the scum. I am in NO way kidding about that.




Fury as Dolly Parton’s star on Hollywood Walk of Fame is vandalized a week after her death
Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been vandalized a week after her death.


Fans of the country megastar swarmed Hollywood Boulevard last week, turning the site into a tear-soaked shrine after she died aged 80.


Visitors paying their respects Monday noticed the flowers had been stolen and that deep scratches were gouged directly across her name on the brass inlay.


The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed that crews were dispatched to repair the star.


“Dolly’s star already had cracks in it, and the chamber had scheduled it to be repaired Tuesday,” Ana Martinez, a spokesman for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce told TMZ. Martinez added it was a fan who stole the flowers and left scratches on the star.




Yeah no, not bloody likely. I think we can all imagine easily enough just what kind of person would do such a shitty, pointless, spiteful thing…and the words MAGA, Normal, conservative, and such-like form no part whatsoever of the description of said “person.”


    


    




    



    

        
Let’s make a DEAL!

Despite having won it seventy-three (73) times already, according to fucking Trump, we’re not gonna win this Iran thing, are we?




Put this one right on top of the stack of things I don’t understand.










Clue to the willfully, obstinately clueless: THEY DO NOT WANT A DEAL, THEY WILL NOT ABIDE BY ANY “DEAL” YOU DO FINALLY MAKE WITH THEM, AND THEY REGARD YOUR CRAVEN CRAWLING TO THEM BEGGING FOR SOME KIND OF STUPID-ASS DEAL AS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, YOU STUPID FOOLS. Which it, y’know, IS, actually.


SO, in other words, exactly the same as they’ve been doing for the last, oh, round about fifty fucking years, then.




Bessent has been almost frighteningly effective in fulfilling his promise to collapse Iran’s currency, the rial. As he reminded Fox Business in that clip, the rial stood at 800,000 to the dollar last spring, but as of last week was down to two million.


That’s created real-world hardships for the regime and the Iranian people.


“Small protests occurred outside petrochemical plant and a sugar cane factory where workers were made unemployed but received no salary for last six months,” Peter Baum reported on X today. “One person killed by IRGC outside the sugar cane factory.”


Furthermore, “Academic staff at numerous universities on strike as they too have not been paid for months.”


The trick is to keep asphyxiating the regime until Tehran can’t afford to pay the thugs who keep the people in line with beatings and mass murders as required.


And these are the same theocrats Bessent thinks he can make “want to have a deal?” And that after we let go of their throats, they’ll stick to it?


What I had thought back in March might be a days-long campaign to hurt the regime has gone on too long for a deal — and the stakes are too elevated.


Once you grab somebody by the throat, you’ve got to keep squeezing until the job is done.




I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: so long as an entity still exists in the Middle East called The Islamic Republic Of Iran, with a bunch of Mad Mullahs firmly in charge of said entity, we have “won” neither Jack nor Shit.

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
