In Obama's world the end always justifies the means. Alinsky devoted a chapter to the subject. On page 37 Alinsky quotes Lenin,

"They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet." And it was.


Let me try it:

"They have the water cans and therefore we are against torture and for gaining information through peaceful means. When we have the water cans then it will be through torture." And it will be.

Went to a crawfish boil in the country yesterday. There were quite a few like minded people there. One person I met was a former Marine rifle instructor. It was clear from the conversation he liked to shoot and frequently. We began discussing some of the shortages sportsmen are now seeing. He's a reloader due to the volume he shoots and explained that his biggest problem was obtaining brass.

I've searched the expended military brass subject extensively and the subject is murky, but the shortage is not.

Lenin and his original old Bolshies at least had the excuse that their socialist and communist ideologies back in their day were new and untried. By now, we all know only too well that collectivism doesn't work, and that it inevitably degrades into state terror against the population. How stupid - and/or arrogant - must be those who still insist that a few "smart" bosses on top can figure out what's best for everyone!
