The reference I make to Dr. Angelo Codevilla is from his landmark piece: "America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution"

    Si, pero muy buena! Did I write that correctly? I had the Italian words running in my brain, but thought that really didn't go with the theme.

    I thinks it's a good name, though.. :-)

    DJL, thank you for watching and commenting on my testimony.
    For my own benefit, could you please provide specific citations from my testimony where I summarized Dr. Codevilla's piece.
    Also could you provide specific citations to your claim that Dr. Codevilla's piece is "full of pronouncements of localized, Christian-faith-enforced, anti-abortion, strike-down-Title II of the Civil Rights Bill-Country Class-counties".

    Thank you.

    @quotequad, Right now I live in the last liberty-minded county in CT.
    But even so, it is so infiltrated by Marxists that it is just a matter of time before it falls to the communists as well.
    I have lived in New Hampshire before and I can assure you that it is not now what it once was. Even though there is a liberty stronghold there, it also is too infiltrated.
    Why would I trade my location and not my situation?
    Therefore, Wyoming.

    Hmm. Codevilla's (way too long) piece is simply another version of the ruling class he loathes, full of pronouncements of localized, Christian-faith-enforced, anti-abortion, strike-down-Title II of the Civil Rights Bill-Country Class-counties. Poach's support of them is no better. Sad, because Codevilla's intro is excellent until he does exactly what he loathes and talks about controlling other people's faith and choices - just another version of the Ruling Class control wielded by the Democrats he implores. How about another option: put the bible, moral pronouncements, and the guns away (voluntarily), THEN talk about decentralizing government in a way that reverses the Democratic on-its-way-to-Orwellian oversight and ultimately allows rationality and individuality and inter-dependence to prevail. I suspect that this is the true intention of the Constitution, versus the "good" one promoted by Codevilla in his self-contradicting article summarized hap-hazardly, including its flaws, by Mr. Poach. I'm surprised at the acceptance it has garnered from this group -- it's as though everyone read the first few paragraphs and nothing more.

    Generally speaking:
    If you have guns, experience with guns, like guns, believe you are safer with them than without them, have statistics and history on your side, recognize the benefit, you are a gun nut, extremist, who doesn’t care, even though you believe it saves innocent lives and we need guns, you are Wrong and Unenlightened!

    But:

    If you have no guns, little experience with guns, fear guns, believe you are safer without them, have no statistics or history on your side, are oblivious to the benefit, you are rational, moderate, you care, and regardless of the more bloody outcome you want guns banned. You are Righteous in your Brilliance!


    Many Americans have died defending our liberties’ and our rights; the second amendment is among them.

    The Left do their actions behind the veil of ignorance, disguised as courage. That is why it's hard for us to discern it. Has anyone ever heard of a courageous evil person?

    Courage is the tool of the righteous. Not of the ignorant. Therefore, to stand up to evil, we must have the courage to do so. Just my .02 cents.
