I have never read that article, but when I read your thread title I knew it had to be about the Liberator.

Reading article now.......

...Only as an example of the tactic.

Good read, though I think using Waco as an example detracts from the article. I would have used Ruby Ridge.

Thanks for sharing this - I had never come across it but it expresses my beliefs better than I could ever have myself. Sending a copy to my son and many others.

Locked 'n loaded.

Very cool article, a tad on the long side; but, bearable.

***wipes brow*** just read the whole thing.

Very well done.

... the overwhelming plethora of incredible truth revealed in the article is quite refreshing.


HEAR! HEAR!

It was good up until the wolf sheep sheepdog nonsense.

I disagree with it and don't like it, but some old timers are stuck with it. I just let them go with it and nod along, pick up the conversation after they're past it, or just skim past it, like this article, and continue.

I know too many SME's who still parrot that bit to just use it as a sign to discredit or not believe someone. There are some smart and experienced guys out there who believe or retell the Sheep/Sheepdog/Wolf analogy and there are some smart and experienced guys who abhor it. I find it's mostly an age thing, more often than not. I give it a pass if the writer/orator is over a certain age.

Well back in 2008 when he wrote it they weren't selling the 'SheepDog' T-shirts just quite yet so it wasn't so fashionable to talk about

Well I give him points for being ahead of the curve, but I think the idea of people as sheepdogs is ******** too. I think the only reason any of that is around or accepted is because it lets one group think of themselves as the valient heroes, the other as the villian, and the other as a mass beneath them. Even by the nature of the analogy, I doubt half of the people who believe themselves to be sheepdogs would be one in a time they could.

While a good read, tactics have greatly changed. I think more along the lines or resistance from Terminator is in order.

I mean, drones will never strike on citizens.

Well Jack, you're not known for your optimism so it's no suprise

I'm still a sheepdog in my heart of hearts. What age do I have to be to get a pass?
