In his recent blog post, M. J. Mollenhour explores the concept of the United States as a fortress being invaded by Middle Eastern jihadists. He pictures the Left in America as undermining the walls of the fortress, thus enabling the invaders.
What does this have to do with gun rights in Knoxville? As Mollenhour so aptly puts it in the post:
- "The gun stands as a repugnant symbol of man’s stubborn insistence that he is equal with other men (because all are sinful in the sight of God).
- The gun in the hands of the citizen is a bold statement that the citizen rejects state monopoly on power.
- The gun in the hands of the citizen is a statement that you reject false offers of political salvation from other men viewed as no better than the rest of us–rejecting the false gods of monarchy, theocracy, and all other forms of authoritarian rule.
- To the modern, Marx-influenced, worshiper of The State, the gun in the hands of individual citizen is the anti-state."
Go brew a cup of coffee, sit back and digest this post.
And check out Mollenhour's novel, Arcturus. I wrote a report on it a while back, and you can view the report and order the book HERE.

Typical right-wing paranoia. It's like the mentality of cardboard, one-dimensional characters in z-grade movies... trite, selfish, myopic, delusional and predictable.
No paranoia about it. For some reason, the left hates the idea of freedoms. They would rather the government take care of their every need. All I need the government to do is defend our country, as stated in the Constitution. Most every other thing they do is unnecessary and un-Constitutional.
Careful there, Joshua Skye, your inner Marxist is showing. Since you can't refute the tenents of what liberty and freedom are, you predictably attack those on the right as being less than mature. But that's okay, I think of communists like you as ignorant and lazy. Forget about something? Like the record of communism and socialist states? I can imagine so, since they murder the opposition, and there's no one (almost) left to speak. You won't be able to enact your murderous programs here.
Marxists are all about the state..... AND..... being in charge of it....
I am happy to state, I am 60 yrs. old grew up in calif. and in my entire life have never met a left wing liberal or anybody that thought obama has done our country any good whatsoever......
To Ron:
Really!? I find that amazing. I thought they were all like Joshua ("Typical right-wing paranoia. It's like the mentality of cardboard, one-dimensional characters in z-grade movies... trite, selfish, myopic, delusional and predictable.") Don't Debate, just call names or blame Bush after two years and never bad mouth the peoples republiuc.
