The Left's vision is all of us living in a unified socialist state under their rules and operating with our industry and treasure. They have won the culture war and they have won the demographics war, and they are hard on the march to repeal what is left of our inalienable rights. There is no way to co-exist with them as free people because our vision of freedom means nothing to them, is in fact repulsive to them. Maybe we will figure that out before it's too late and do what's necessary. Or maybe not.
It is dispiriting to see even people on the Right, allegedly, wobbling on gun rights in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. We have way too many soft-headed people who are opionating solely on emotion--but that is exactly the culture that we have permitted to be created in the last half-century. A society where the tragic death of children, however horrific, makes us irrational, impulsive, and either mute or hysterical is not one where liberty can exist much less flourish. Don't think the Left, ruthless as they are, toxic as they are, does not understand our passions, manias, and, yes, radical weaknesses.
