We need to call it Liberty Control instead of Gun Control.

The current debate is over Liberty and Freedom, the national Socialist Left wants it to be about scary objects they don’t understand. “She who defines the terms, wins the debate” For all of their inherent faults, one must have a begrudging respect for our comrades on the national Socialist-Left in how they exploit language to very good effect. They enforce an iron discipline when it comes to the words they use to frame the discussion to their cynical advantage. An article in The Atlantic exemplified this with: Don’t Call It ‘Gun Control’.   Or more recently in New York magazine: ‘Gun Control’ Has Outlived Its Usefulness While we will never adopt it’s immoral base ideology of collectivism, it is time we maintained the same discipline in the words we use. This occurs in various instances, with the incorrect use of the term Liberal being the most prominent, but that is for another column. The debate is rightfully over the cause of Liberty, so why not act like it? At prese

Can We Please Stop Praising The Enemies Of Liberty On The Left With The Term ‘Liberal’?

Here are the top 5 reasons to stop applauding the Left with a word that implies they defend Liberty when they clearly do not. Recent events have clearly demonstrated the Left is no longer Liberal.

Hat Tip: Nazis Are Socialists (Meso) A dose of reality for you Leftists opposing freedom on behalf of the gun owners of America. Seeing that we gun owners been your rhetorical punching bag for several weeks, there are a few things we would like to point out to you folks opposed to the most essential of Liberties. You’ve spent all manner of airtime talking down to us, dictating what we ‘need’ with regard to our basic human rights. So now it is time for you to listen to a couple of brutal truths in the matter. These aren’t going to be ‘politically correct’ , by any means, but such is usually not the case with cold hard reality. From your ever so self laudatory language, you Liberty grabbers on the Left like to think of yourselves as noble warriors, out there ‘changing the world’ for the ‘Common good’ [Gemeinnutz in the German vernacular] .
