"You only keep what you’re willing to defend."

I sure hate the idea of living behind all those walls that the people in communist countries and third world nations must live behind...
The criminals walk free in the streets and good folks and their kids stay behind those walls.. What a rotten way to live.. :(

"Were gonna need a backhoe."

First and foremost, We better do a gut check to make sure we have the necessary "backbone" to do what needs to be done...

Here's the definitive view:

"If a man proposes to redistribute wealth, he means explicitly and necessarily that the wealth is his to distribute. If he proposes it in the name of the government, then the wealth belongs to the government; if in the name of society, then it belongs to society. No one, to my knowledge, did or could define a difference between that proposal and the basic principle of communism...."

There is no such dichotomy as “human rights” versus “property rights.” No human rights can exist without property rights. Since material goods are produced by the mind and effort of individual men, and are needed to sustain their lives, if the producer does not own the result of his effort, he does not own his life. To deny property rights means to turn men into property owned by the state. Whoever claims the “right” to “redistribute” the wealth produced by others is claiming the “right” to treat human beings as chattel."

- Ayn Rand

Property rights are human rights.

“Once the police are gone, nothing can stop the mob.”

Too funny! Once the police are no longer around to protect the communists we’ll be free to slaughter them! We’ll march on the TV stations, we’ll march on the universities, we’ll shoot the black-clad terrorists in the streets and hang their corpses for the crows to eat, we’ll root out the pedophiles from our public schools, and the social justice warriors will find out how real warriors respond to communists!

And then we’ll go back to work after a few beers and a nice BBQ.

Nothing can stop the mob, huh?

Hold my beer.
