Bulldogs of the Purple Page

Pulling a Dustbury with my spam-ment of the week: I was able to find good info from your bllog posts. My page bulldog feel comfortable.

It's just a small part of what we do here at PFD, but it might be the most important part. Perhaps I should put it in the header: Making Page Bulldogs Comfortable Since 2010.

Quotables

Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them -- Solzhenitsyn

Tyrannos omnes oportet perire — “It is fitting that all tyrants perish”

The true Christian should not resign himself to the inevitable: he should trust in the impertinence of a repeated prayer. -- Don Colacho

Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort. -- Robert A. Heinlein

When law and morality are in contradiction, the citizen finds himself in the cruel dilemma of either losing his moral sense or of losing respect for the law -- Bastiat

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy.

If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers.

Only the government -- and a few outlaws.

I intend to be among the outlaws. --Edward Abbey from “The Right to Arms”
