The Two-Fisted Quorum

ONCE AGAIN, the U.S. Supreme Court has left the black community defenseless against armed gangs and thugs who terrorize and plunder law-abiding Americans.

Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Chicago's handgun ban. Gun rights groups hailed the ruling as a seminal moment in their ongoing fight to roll back restrictive gun-control legislation. As far as the National Rifle Association (NRA) is concerned, McDonald settles the matter once and for all: "This decision makes absolutely clear that the Second Amendment protects the God-given right of self-defense for all law-abiding Americans, period." Be that as it may, the McDonald decision is really a victory for and about black Americans. At least it should be.

Read it all.

Report: Four score and seven (or a few million years) ago—an idea of freedom took root in this American soil. Knowing life is crisis, punctuated by brief periods of solace, we also know that after all is said and done, we shall never cheat infinity, nor extinguish the mark of a single thought. Like this mathematical pun, strong and fiercely sought, we engage this nation, its myths, its memories, its magnanimous messengers, and its monstrosities as we seek a more perfect union. But as always in America, we must rebuke an enemy with both fists on the wheel driving for success and justice for all. An enemy that is always changing is an enemy that never changes. We must engage that enemy on the ancient battleground where art and politics beat each other up and few are they who seem the wiser. We must reject roving wild-eyed policy now weakening our nation, to live again as one nation under truth, both as strategy, and as reality on the ground, certain of the age in which we struggle and from which we must engage the enemies that threaten our existence as a nation of liberty. A vigorous new morality must replace the old farces found frothing along the same profane beachheads as those which defiled the hopes of our ancestors. In renouncing our petty grievances must all stand together as one to rebuke our mortal and spiritual enemies who care not for our struggles, and even less for our feelings. We are at war, people.

On Political Smarts

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice...moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
—Barry Goldwater

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
—Johann Wolfgang Goethe

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
—George Orwell

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
—Ronald Reagan

"I have been made victorious through terror."
—Muhammad, founder of Islam

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
—Thomas Jefferson

"Think about it folks. Capitalism is the most effective and purest form of Communism ever practiced."
—Gabriel Thy

"Political language—and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists—is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
—George Orwell

"Exaggerated self-criticism would be a harmless luxury of civilization if there were no enemy at the gate condemning democracy's very existence. But it becomes dangerous when it portrays its mortal enemy as always being in the right. Extravagant criticism is a good propaganda device in internal politics. But if it is repeated often enough, it is finally believed. And where will the citizens of democratic societies find reasons to resist the enemy outside if they are persuaded from childhood that their civilization is merely an accumulation of failures and a monstrous imposture?"
—Jean Francois Revel

“Never ascribe to malice that which may be ascribed to stupidity.”
—Napoleon Bonaparte

"A communist is someone who reads Marx & Lenin. An anti-communist is someone who understands them."
—Ronald Reagan

"The world is far more complex than the concentrated cool of some flippant rock star."
—Dunaway Ka
