As River Tam once said: "People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome."

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: I don't murder children. The Operative: I do. If I have to. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Why? Do you even know why they sent you? The Operative: It's not my place to ask. I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: So me and mine gotta lay down and die... so you can live in your better world?

I have no illusions about it, but it must be done.

That article should be read by anyone who wants to see the Left unmasked. It ain't a pretty sight.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first thing that I thought of when I read this rant from a leftist mini-tyrant:
