An Uncivil War...

 "...It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take great devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- the we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the People, by the People, for the People -- shall not perish from the Earth..." -- Abraham Lincoln, "Gettysburg Address"

It Has Come To This...

 

Alas, my minions, we have come to a crossroads. A fork in the road that leads either to servitude or unbounded freedom.

Your Galactic Overlord chooses Freedom.

And so should you.

Destruction...And Happy New Year.

"Electricity is really just organized lightning..." -- George Carlin

Stupid Passive Aggressive...

 "At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child -- miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of spoiled brats" -- P.J. O'Rourke, "Give War a Chance"

Canada, Ukraine and New Yorkistan...

The Left and Civil War...

 "I, for one, welcome this conflict the Left keeps insisting is coming. It will be over very quickly. The Straight White Males own the majority of the guns, money and means of production, while The Other Side is a collection of four thousand self-interested, mutually-exclusive, functionally-illiterate identity groups, that are often confused by their own genitals." -- The Overlord

Step Back and Breathe...

"There is something that unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform objective reality to the wishes of Man, and the solution is a technique." -- C.S. Lewis
