If you don't read Claire's blog, you're missing something good. Oh, sure, she always talks about how she's getting out of the Freedomista-mongering business, but she can never make it stick. And in among meditations on the wonders of dog-themed canape dishes she suddenly launches forth with industrial-strength screeds such as these. Not groundbreaking material for some of us, in fact Claire even concedes a lot of us have heard it - and said it - many times before. But it's always so much more beautifully said when she says it.
Also, it's easy for an old lunatic like me to forget that not everybody's at the same level, as far as thinking "it" through. "It's" not about voting, and "it's" not about shooting. Er...yet. It's not really about the police state at all, and maybe we help our would-be masters along by making it about them. Comes down to it, it's about us. Always was. Hey, who'd really DIE without Nancy Pelosi in their life? And who decided she had to be there?
Anyway, go and read. You'll thank yourself.
UPDATE: Part Four.

Heh, I saw that earlier and liked it so much I lifted the title too and put up links to all three parts over at Ornery Bastard.
Can't have too much of a good thing now, can we?
Speaking of great posts, you might like this one too, I did and I'm a Leftie, with a strong Libertarian streak though.

"Suppose they gave a government, and nobody came?"
It's all a mind trick: They only have the power you give them. ;)
