Both sides agree that the body politic is unhealthy. The Tea Party solution is the replace the defective parts and put the body on a diet. The OWS solution is to transplant its brain with a cabbage. Then set it on fire.

Larry Correia, discussing his views on similarities between the Tea Pary movement and Occupy Wall Street.

Yet when we strive to hold true, to stand firm to our beliefs as free men and women, as a group, to carry our weapons and defend our land and our homes, the weak become strong, and the wandering hold together as one.

Brigid, “Why I Support the Second Amendment”

So many idiots, so few bulldozers.

Michael Z. Williamson, in reaction to this outstanding post over at Wirecutter’s place.

Side note: Ga-Ka-Quadaffi’s escape was thwarted by bombs from a FRENCH plane. Of all the Causes of Death possible in this world, “Killed by the French” has got to rank as one of the most shameful ones, right below “Accidental Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation” and only slightly above “Death By Infection From That Tiny African Worm That Swims Up Your Wing-Wang”.

— Marko, The Munchkin Wrangler, writing about the death of Qaddafi

Maybe your golf buddies are soft, and your union thugs are soft, and your legion of academics that have never held a real job are soft, and the societal leeches that depend on the democrat’s perpetual welfare state are soft, but most Americans are not soft.  — Larry Correia, commenting on President Obama’s assertion that all our problems are due to the fact that we’ve gone ‘soft’.

BTW, Larry seems to be closer to the Mormons I knew when we lived in Utah than Mitt Romney seems to be.  

Occam’s Razor … gunwalking was meant to serve a political agenda that (at the outset) was seen as setting the stage for some major pushes, and that required lots of Mexican crime guns to trace to US dealers. And if a few hundred people got killed, that was just the price.  — David Hardy, Of Arms & The Law, discussing the timeline for Operation Fast and Furious.

I cannot move at all and cannot reach my water. Is breathing voluntary or involuntary? If it’s voluntary, I am screwed. I stopped participating in the class 20 minutes ago. Hey, lady! I paid for this frickin class, ok?! You work for me! Stop yelling at everyone and just tell us a story or something. It’s like juice and cracker time, ok? – Chuck Z, discussing his recent experience in a hot yoga session.

And now we know why DaddyBear prefers to work out alone and preferably outside and in the dark.  It’s cooler, there are no distracting balls of fusion in the sky to make his eyes hurt, and there are fewer people around.

“You’re looking at it all wrong. It’s a dual purpose designer drug. You can get your high and a smooth forehead. It all depends on where you inject it.” – Jennifer, commenting on my entry about people getting botulism from black tar heroin.  We could call it “Black Botox”.

I come in peace, I didn’t bring artillery.  But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes:  If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.  — Marine General James Mattis

This one came to mind when I was reading the article with this quote:  

“President Obama, this is your army, we are ready to march,” Hoffa said. “But everybody here’s got to vote. If we go back, and keep the eye on the prize, let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out.”

We are a peaceful people.  We will bleed for anyone, give the last crumb out of our cupboards to the hungry, and gladly help those who need it.  But raise a hand to us, and we will take off your arm.  Be careful who you make your enemy, Junior.
