. . . muttered the ogre

Claire Wolfe wrote a few years ago, “America is at that awkward stage. It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” Now Liz Michael observes:

It’s probably not going to be what is commonly thought of as a “patriot” that fires the first shot. It’s probably not going to be a political activist from the left, the right or the center. . . . The first shooting of the bastards will probably be by average citizens who tried to comply but were not allowed to, and whose lives were overcomplicated by that inability to comply.

In fact, this description fits Vin Suprynowicz’s account of Carl Drega – but that was before we had Fatherland Homeland Security to worry about.
