"It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions." --Thomas Jefferson
Reader Comments
"I've just read your message regarding Senator Barbara Boxer's attack on your site. I hope you can take small comfort in knowing that many people unfamiliar with The Patriot Post will now become acquainted with it. Boxer's condemnation is an excellent endorsement. Nobody familiar with the outstanding work of The Patriot Post will be misled by Boxer. I will continue in my fiscal and moral support of your organization, as I trust others will." --Walter
"Patriots, your publication and products are the best. Rest assured that your staff are not alone. Any attack against The Patriot Post is an attack against me, and I am quite sure hundreds of thousands of your fans believe likewise. Keep the faith." --Shelly
"I just sent Senator Boxer a note asking for help with my business: 'I am sure that your promotion of The Patriot Shop in connection with that terrible sticker that you advertised at a televised press conference has boosted their Internet traffic and business orders 10 fold. What can I do to get one of the most powerful people in our government to advertise my business?' What was it that the Clinton machine used to say? 'All publicity is good publicity.'" --Susan
"PatriotShop.US should immediately begin a national petition drive to encourage Barbara Boxer to change her name. The extremely violent image of a blood sport being part of the name of a highly visible United States Senator could incite someone to violence. After all, she worked long and hard to attain and maintain the title of Senator1, therefore, that title should not be sullied by her violent and uncivil last name. If we can't call her 'Ma'am,' we shouldn't be forced to call her Senator Bxxxx (sorry, I just couldn't bring myself to write that violent word again). Certainly Senator2 Bxxxx would not want to be a hypocrite while doing her part to bring civil rhetoric back the the political discourse." --Peter
"Barbra Boxer thinks nothing of condoning the deaths of thousands of full-term babies by the hideous practice of partial-birth abortion. She has declared open season on them and no bag limit. Oh, and for the record, if she contacts me, please refer to me as 'Dr.' not 'Mr.' I worked hard for that title." --Henry
"If the mass murderer of Tucson had used his car to plow through the people assembled in front of Safeway, likely killing more than he accomplished with a firearm, what would they be calling the incident and him? A driving? The carman? Would all the knee-jerk attackers calling for more infringement of our rights be calling for more restrictions on drivers? Surely those restrictions would prevent a criminal from obtaining a car to commit a crime. Oh, wait ... they do that everyday all day. Guns don't kill people -- political correctness does!" --Tina
"Senator Boxer might recall that the largest U.S. mass murder (excepting the 9/11 attack), was the arson of Happy Land night club in New York City, in 1988. A drunk customer (yes, alcohol was involved), who had been thrown out of the club earlier, murdered 87 citizens by arson in a fire started with a 50 cents worth of gasoline and two matches. Last I checked, gasoline and matches are much more accessible than Glocks and high-capacity magazines." --Greg
"I am disappointed that you removed the Liberal Hunting License from PatriotShop.US. I would like to purchase them ALL and distribute them far and wide." --Colonel, USMC
Editor Reply: Let me reiterate, Boxer is serious about shutting us down. I have set aside my pride in first principles in this instance, rather than surrender all the other battlefronts on which we are now engaged. And, I hasten to add, being ever-loyal to my team, I feel a deep obligation to meet payroll for them and their families. That said, if you would commit to meeting our payroll for the foreseeable future, I will gladly put the sticker back on the site.
Liberty
"The Rodeo Clown Posse was led out of Tucson in a cloud of dust with a hay-burning frenzy by Arizona's Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. Close in tow were hyper-boiling politicians and the usual lefty print and TV media cowboys such as Rep. James Clyburn, columnist Paul Krugman, TV antagonista Chris Matthews, and even our own Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. ... The arrest warrant, hastily drawn up by the shallow yet influential chatterers, derives from a persistent liberal theme that political adversaries should be disarmed and neutralized by eliminating their ability to speak freely in any forum in any style. ... Free speech is the currency for a marketplace of liberty, private pursuits, and economic choices; in America, it has been remarkably free from anarchy and violence. If speech is proscribed or in any way curtailed or restricted, the ballot box will no longer be the perfection of opinion. ... The Rodeo Clown Posse, having neither a persuasive idea nor an attractive wrapper to express it, would like to whip up an indiscriminate and symbolic hanging instead of recognizing that more speech, however expressed, is better than speech suppressed. The rest of us must be vigilant to keep this pernicious posse from finding a rope." --columnist Geoffrey Hunt3
Opinion in Brief
"Within 48 hours of the [Arizona] shooting, Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) promised to introduce stricter gun control legislation as soon as her staff could draw it up.... [W]e must take responsibility for our own lives -- and be prepared to defend those lives with weapons we carry for protection. ... Such is life. As long as we are on this earth, criminals will be seeking the opportunity to carry out their evil schemes. And if we respond to their schemes as Representative McCarthy wants to, by passing more and more gun control laws, we'll inevitably be disappointed to find that criminals will ignore the new laws just as easily as they ignored the old ones. In the end, such an approach will only hamper the ability of law abiding citizens to get their hands on the weapons 'most preferred' for self defense, effectively transforming more and more innocents into sitting ducks for the next Loughner whenever and wherever he decides to kill in cold blood. Our lives are our own responsibilities. We cannot entrust their protection to agents of the state, whether those agents are legislators, police officers, or federal agents." --columnist AWR Hawkins4
Re: The Left
"There are many heroes who showed indomitable courage and grace under fire during [the] horrific Tucson massacre. Blowhard Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was not one of them. ... Sounding more like an MSNBC groupie ... than a responsible law enforcement official, Dupnik baselessly suggested that the shooting was part of a larger conspiracy and railed against 'vitriol' from limited-government activists who are stoking 'anger against elected officials.' Dupnik's mouth has done more to stoke self-inflicted ire against elected government clowns than anything the right could muster against him. Had the hyper-partisan Democrat been more in tune with his job than the media airwaves, the murderous, maniacal gunman might have been stopped. ... Decent Americans understand that he and his civilian counterparts have traveled a smear too far. Despite desperate attempts by the progressive left to pin the massacre on the 'harsh tone' of its political opponents, a vast majority of Americans reject the cynical campaign to criminalize conservatism, suppress political free speech and capitalize on violent crime for electoral gain. At the risk of being accused of inciting violence, you might say they've done gone and shot themselves in the foot." --columnist Michelle Malkin5
Editor's Note: Michelle Malkin recently wrote a piece titled "The progressive 'climate of hate:' An illustrated primer, 2000-2010," shedding light on the Left's own version of violent hate crime over the last decade.
