"19 terrorists in 6 weeks have been able to command 300 million North Americans to do away with the entirety of their civil liberties that took 700 years to advance from the Magna Carta onward. The terrorists have already won the political and ideological war with one terrorist act. It is mindboggling that we are that weak as a society."

Not to put too fine a point on it, but exhorting people to vote for McCain with the “he’s less bad than Hillbama” argument is like urging them to pick rapist #1 over rapist #2 on the grounds that #1 is a little less well endowed, and that he promised to let you pick the position.

From gsc:

"For my own part, I expect the war against individual liberty to move into additional renewed phases of overt violence. To me, the strategic implications of water-borne properties make them ill suited for what I see coming. I prefer mountainous terrain. Given what I expect of the filthy, putrescent, evil, heinous, murdering, raping, mutilating, torturing, thieving scum who run the major governments of the world, I think the sense of 4th Generation Conflict, that one survives and hits back as opportunity
arises, strongly motivates a choice of difficult terrain in which to move..."

"Many police departments write 'To protect and serve' on their cars. What they don't say is who. We're supposed to assume that they plan to protect and serve us. Actually, they protect and serve the state, and its owners, the counterfeiters who print the money. I'd call them bankers, but in a fractional reserve world, there are no bankers, only state-approved counterfeiters." -- Bill St. Clair
