MOWCA vs. Vanderboegh--'Accepting our Chains'

Paul Davis over at the MOWCA Blog provides a thoughtful response to Mike Vanderboegh's latest suggestion concerning the response of Patriots to tyranny.

Be sure to read the whole thing, but here is an excerpt:


...the real reality here is this is recipe for ACCEPTING the shackles and chains that are swiftly coming upon us. Please remember there is a significant difference between OPPOSING a system, and PREVENTING or OVERTHROWING a system.

You can oppose a system all life long – AND NEVER, NEVER OVERTURN IT! No, what you become is the worst of traitors and hypocrites. Mike talks about the “moral high ground.” Well, this ain’t it. But there again, if fictional characters are your sources, I guess you can do whatever you want — and it works — at least on paper.

However, it will not prevent the coming tyranny. Rather, it will assist its emplacement and entrenchment — guaranteeing slavery for our sons and daughters. Of course, you could convince them to oppose the system from within too — but they would still be slaves living under tyranny.

And you will have compromised everything you said you stood for . . .
You know, the saying “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” doesn’t discriminate.

Our Founding Fathers would shudder:
