"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." -- George Washington
I see that one of my posts from yesterday, "the violence of the Left," drew some yelps from a couple of readers.
One of the most interesting responses - in a forensic, sad sort of way - was from a young self-described "anxious" homosexual gal from Massachusetts. Without going into all the depressing details of this person's deconstruction of what I said, suffice it to say that she made my point in a way that I never could.
After comparing a human child to a bacteria and a tumor, and reserving any real power only to the State - not to We the People as the founders of this republic intended - she ended with a not-so-thinly-veiled threat to "report me to the proper authorities." And for what? For simply stating the absolute fact that millions of real Americans will defend their own rights, their own liberty, and their own posterity.
Leftists are Fascists, and Fascists are Leftists. And both flavors of Tyrant are so predictable. They have no originality. Like their forerunners of the last century, they not only have no qualms about eliminating the weakest and most helpless among us and sending their broken little bodies off to to the incinerators or the landfills, they must always give in to the impulse to use the power of the almighty State to crush anyone who refuses to bow to their selfish, unreasonable, morally-vacant, anti-American ideology.
In the final pass, they really have no other choice but that, frankly, since they can't possibly argue their position from any moral basis, having so thoroughly banished all of that from their own hearts.
They can't "win" unless and until they have unleashed the force of government upon you, or at least until you have abjectly surrendered to their threats to do so.

Romans chapter one
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
