Nah, it's the latest offering from our good friends with teeny-bopper minds over at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Following the DHS "rightwing extremist" playbook, they go right after Oath Keepers--can't have cops and the military taking their Constitutional oaths seriously, can we?
But the real news is about their new book...oh, sorry, wrong one. Here it is:
In Guns, Democracy, and the Insurrectionist Idea, Joshua Horwitz and Casey Anderson challenge the proposition that more guns equal more freedom and expose Insurrectionism as a true threat to freedom in the United States today.You know the drill:
War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.And it looks like they singled out at least one WarOnGuns guest editorial by Threeperor-for-Life Vanderboegh (like the title, Mike? I just thunk it up) as representative of the militia terror that awaits us all. Horrors!
I wonder if they mention us anywhere else, because who doesn't like seeing their names make the rounds? Besides certain gungrabbers?
I'd like to say I crossed swords with Horwitz once before, over at The New York Times Virgina Tech panel,but in truth he just kind of slapped at the air and made catty remarks.
He was on this tack even then:
I am not surprised that David Codrea, got out of the gate first thing this morning with an argument for arming students. Mr. Codrea writes a blog titled, “The War on Guns, Notes from the Resistance” (who is he resisting?)Why, I'm resisting you, Mr. Horwitz. And everyone who enables and abets you.

Submit! Comply! Be Passive! The state is your Daddy, your banker, your milk-cow, and your GOD. Welcome your chains! Your slavery is liberation!
ARBEIT MACHT FREI!
ReplyDeleteI like how Horwitz just spews lie after lie, straight face and all, and never retreats from his socialist agenda. His illegitimatcy is hard to believe and comprehend. A face to face would er, ah, be tough for him.
ReplyDeleteI thought 'Newspeak' after reading Josh and Casey's book review before I read your line.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking MBV's guest editorial. I missed so much while I was sleeping for the past 8 years.
ReplyDeleteWhat I cannot decided is if the other side really thinks it can win easily or if they're sociopaths who actually want the bloodshed.
In the middle of reading "To Shake Their Guns in the Tyrant's Face" by Professor Churchill and it chronicles our country's history as as armed, insurrection-ready, free citizens. It documents the founding fathers' conversations about how to make sure we retained the means of insurrection! How can Horwitz's pants-wetting compete with our recorded history?
ReplyDeleteFunny, but I don't feel the slightest bit threatened by Mr. Vanderboegh. Perhaps because I am no threat to him or his rights... ya think?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point Kent. I have no intention of trampling Mr. Vanderboegh's human rights, and as such am not the slightest worried about him harming me.
ReplyDeleteIf I did aim to curtail his human rights then I'd be worried. I'd probably resort to hysterics, write a book about what a threat he and his fellow 'citizens' are....
There are many torch-bearers for freedom whose lights have not yet been seen because the darkness is not yet deep enough. When the time comes, and it will come BECAUSE OF, not in spite of, people like them, Horowitz and Anderson will be blinded by the new constellation above the horizon.
