Watch Your Back
In posing the stark choice between submission and resistance to tyranny in America, I've encountered a distinct hostility lately from the readers of what I deem the most thoughtful of liberal blogs. And I don't think these were covert conservatives, but, rather, genuine liberals unable to come to terms with the enormous sacrifice and responsibility we face to rid ourselves of tyranny in the US.
Which lends a sobering aspect to Bush's observance that you're either with him or against him. Like the religious right, liberals may complain a lot about not getting their way, but, in the end, they will undoubtedly line up against those of us who believe in freedom, rather than take any personal risks.
In other words, if you're fighting for freedom, watch your back; otherwise you might find yourself with a liberal's knife in it.
