You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions.... If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes, you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourselves, man, woman, and child, to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them."</blockquote>Read Chapter 16 of Jonah Goldberg's book, <i>The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas</i>, to learn more things that will make you question why Glenn keeps on saying "We have to be Gandhi." One would think that Glenn has read Jonah's book since he had him on the program to talk about the book. Gandhi also said the following to the British:

Thus, my talking point: a Separation of Business, Media, and State, much like the separation of power that (should) exist in our government. Go.

They are going to make criminals out of all of us because once they take it, I'll just be back on the street again looking for another. We know they'll be expensive but we'll get them either way. I think most people I know feel the same way. Yep, they’d have to come and take my gun from my home because I’ll never turn it in willingly.

There is nothing that these Senators and Congressmen fear more than the possiblity that they may no longer hold office.
