If Barack Obama has taught us anything–and by us, I do not refer only to those interested in Second Amendment issues–he has taught us that Progressives will use language in any way that serves their needs at the moment. Today’s truth is tomorrow’s spin is the next day’s lie is the following day’s “I never said that.” Just as the Progressive movement has waited a century to force government health care on an unwilling nation, so they patiently wait to take away the firearms that stand as the last bulwark against despotism.

Dick Metcalf made the fundamental mistake of playing directly into the hands of those he claims to oppose. He adopted their view of history, their tone, their language and their tactics. In a free society, free men may choose those with whom they associate. Those who love liberty and recognize the indispensable role of the Second Amendment in its preservation have made their choice–a choice they have the right to make. Dick Metcalf remains free to convince them, through his actions, not his words, that he is once again worthy of their company.
