[WND] When Uncle Sam threatens some blighted and benighted region of the world — ostensibly on behalf of the American People and for their own good — our representatives call it peace through strength.It is then that ordinary Americans are encouraged to pipe up in praise of the State's invariably Orwellian peace-through-strength strategies.
But what about peace through strength on our front porches, while being menaced by lowbrow looters and assorted louts? For that you can be incarcerated in the land where the criminal roams free.
And when practiced by pale faces, our Second Amendment rights, exercised on the perimeter of our properties, as we stand vigil against the vilest of human beings — that's tantamount to white supremacy and privilege.
Witness the fate of some courageous home owners (the McCloskeys of St. Louis, Missouri) exercising age-old rights — also American constitutional rights — when they ventured out onto their verandas with firearms, intending to stand their ground and deter mobs from overrunning hearth and home.
