NO. REALLY. I’M A NICE GUY*. ASK AROUND. BUT THIS IS MY JOB. THIS IS COMPETITION. SORRY. NO QUARTER, NO MERCY.

If liberty is a social function for you, then join a tupperware club or something but don’t get in the way. For some of us. Liberty is not entertainment. It’s what we’re working on. It’s what we’re fighting for every day:

(I’m sitting here in Kiev with a very clear view of the fact that liberty is only possible with an armed and trained militia willing to die to preserve their freedom from tyranny. Everything else isn’t freedom, it’s permission.)
