From my friend John Hawkins (Culturcidal), a post named “Is This Liberal Right That It’s Wrong to Own Pets?“. The relevant part from his post (emphasis mine):

We No Longer Have a Country
Well, my friends, I hate to break the news. After carefully studying the latest Twitter materials, I realized we no longer have a country. Yes, that is what I said. Why? In large part because:
Let These Courageous Chinese Protestors Inspire Us
COVID is the conspiracy to Control, Observe, Vaccinate, and ID everyone. Many courageous people in China are offering us an opportunity to wake up to this fact. Whatever our faith, let us take a moment to pray for these people who risk their lives to put their humanity and their souls ahead of their fear.
Authority Has Been Delegated, but Responsibility Has Not
America is in uncertain times. Most are focusing on a unity of command approach in a desperate attempt to grab hold of the reins, to assert control. They do not understand that the reins are not theirs to grab. That is the people’s job; rather, what must be provided is a unity of direction.
Hey, This Democrat Nit-Wit Sounds Just like Former NH State Rep Cynthia Chase (as in “Let’s Make Life Harder for Our Residents!”)
Ok, perhaps a bit of a stretch, but stick with me here. NH State Rep Cynthia Chase’s utterances concerning the Free State Project movers to NH (below) made it up to the Rush Limbaugh show years ago when Steve wrote about her. This video clip isn’t the Democrat herself but her Republican rival simply quoting/commenting … Read more
Notable Quote – Contra the Left that LOVES Communism, The Freedom It Promises Always Results in Slavery
Communism failed and is bound to fail for at least two reasons: one, that to enforce equality, its principal objective, it is necessary to create a coercive apparatus that demands privileges and thereby negates equality; and two, that ethnic and territorial loyalties, when in conflict with class allegiances, everywhere and at all times overwhelm them, … Read more
Quick Thought – This Is Correct; They Are Trying to Break Us
From Liberal Logic 101: Progressives, on the other hand, not only wish to crush that spirit but continue the process of forcing a dependency upon Government that started in the early 1900s. They believe they are entitled to Rule. Oh, not them personally (well, many of them) but knowing that the facade would be sufficient … Read more
Let Freedom Ring!
This election cycle you have a clear choice. Do you want to be told what to do? Or do you want to be left alone? If you want to be left alone to go about your business with little to no government intrusion into all aspects of your life, then you value freedom.
Democrats, Abandon Ship!
#WalkAway I’ve been saying and writing that what was once the Democratic Party of my youth is no longer that. The Party of Roosevelt and Kennedy is gone, highjacked by Marxist Socialists promoting an anti-American radical agenda, and robbing true Democrats and all Americans of our futures. Proof of this came from the Democratic Mayor … Read more
Brittney, Biden, and Star-Spangled Banners
WNBA star Brittney Griner is experiencing the hell of Russian incarceration. That’s not a unique experience. Tens of millions of human beings suffered and died in Communist gulags and prisons over the past century. While Griner is presumably not being tortured or starved like so many of her prison predecessors, her confinement is surely brutal, … Read more
Born Again on the Fourth of July
The United States of America was born of a minority of people overcoming seemingly impossible odds. Serious students of history tell us the founders who fought for their independence from tyrannical governance credited divine intervention throughout the Revolutionary War. Their enemy, the British Empire, boasted the greatest naval and military war machine on earth. The … Read more
Blogline of the Day – We Should Be Saying This More Often – MUCH More Often
Freedom just is – having to ask permission means it doesn’t exist
(H/T: Skip, September 12, 2014)
We are closing in on 47,000 published posts at GraniteGrok; we’ve covered a lot of issues, concerns, questions, and trouble. A lot of times, by several of us, and often, the same thing comes back up in different guises.
Notable Quote – And This Is How They Will Destroy America
I don’t get chances to abstract much from Kurt Schlicher’s columns even as I read them all the time – he writes in a style that DEMANDS the entirety be read in toto and it’s hard to excise a part to be standalone; all of the sections are required to get the gestalt of his point. This, I hope, stands alone in part, especially when combined with Michael Graham.
Consequences Are Not Problems
Sadly, there has been another school shooting, this time in Texas. Also sadly, there are people who have been waiting around to use something like this as an excuse for dragging out every anti-gun measure that they haven’t been able to enact in the past.
Safeguard the Precious Treasure of Freedom
Patriots,
Do not allow the current political climate to affect your spirit or diminish your energy. Also, do not allow anger and frustration to control your life. If you do, we all lose. Remember, you are not alone. There are over 100 million of us. If we are united, we can move mountains.
Notable Quote – Capitalism Requires Both Individual Freedom and Respect for Private Ownership
Capitalism is an economy based on decentralized private ownership of resources and open markets; “based on” means that private ownership rights are acknowledged and respected. Most members of society must feel a duty to respect the private rights of others. Ownership rights must be exercisable without fear, ridicule, or disrespect from other members of society. … Read more
Notable Quote – Only Capitalism Puts the Individual Foremost. Everything Else Puts the State First
As Hayek frequently repeated, many intelligent and informed people of his day had been taken in by the claim that National Socialism was the next logical and historical phase of a collapsing capitalism. His point, one that most would accept today as evident, was that fascism and communism both represent totalitarian systems that have much more in … Read more
Did the Slaves or MLK Know Freedom Was Actually a Dog Whistle for White Supremacy?
Everything is racist nowadays. Bike helmets are vestiges of Jim Crow, at least according to the city of Seattle. Who knew? I suppose swimming pools are racist too if one considers the hazards for sinking among certain, shall we say, racial demographics.
It’s EASY to Make Shared Misery “Equitable”! – Freedom vs Coercion
With ad hom attacks thrown in. Yes, I’m getting more militant on Treehugger – time for us ALL to heed Glen Reynold’s admonition to Conservatives and Libertarians to “punch back twice as hard” and that’s what the deal is here. Take the eco-socialists words and turn them right back on them. Make them come out … Read more
Which Is Worse – Their Presence or Their Absence?
I’m referring to those Canadian truckers using their Big Rigs to make statements in various Canadian cities with Ottawa, Canada’s capital, being the main and first target.
