Matthew Bryan's Columns
"If the right to fight for one's continued existence must be granted by legislative fiat, isn't the right to exist at all in question until granted by the political class?" Column by Matthew Bryan.
"The notion of helpless youth corrupted by observing the actions of 'irresponsible' adults is a cornerstone of the encroaching state. 'What of The Children?' is the universal call to arms of the control freaks and perpetually aggrieved. Every ill of society perceived by the guardians is framed with an appeal for the innocents...." Column by Matthew Bryan.
"The iconic, rock star status of 20th Century Uberstatists is unbalanced by corresponding objectification of those who would spare us from them. In short, there is a dismaying lack of political assassin paraphernalia. The murderers of mere civilians reign supreme in silk-screen." Column by Matthew Bryan.
" Why is it immoral to abort a fetus at
three weeks gestation, and yet perfectly moral, nay, heroic, to send a
fully formed, 18-year-old fetus to his violent death for a government?
Dudley Do-Right and Deputy Dove
"To these weak-kneed sheep, I ask this: If you are free of wrongdoing, why should the police stop you in the first place? Does it not strike you as at least odd that someone who, like yourself, is wholly innocent of transgression, would be detained by the police, and forced to identify himself?" Column by Matthew Bryan.
Friendly Fire: Bush Strafes Syntax, Bombs Logic
"Full sovereignty! It rolls off the tongue with mellifluous grace and visions of glorious tomorrows. Never mind the 138,000 occupation troops, Iraqis! You will be free! June 30th will indeed be an historic occasion. For the first time in recorded history, a fully 'sovereign' nation will entertain a hostile occupying army." Column by Matthew Bryan.
"We are in the midst of a grisly match of one-upmanship. Two zealots, each assured of the divine rectitude of their hypocritical sanctimony, led us here. And, again, the pusillanimous politicos and puffery pundits will surely miss the point: Bin Laden is a godless heathen. His minions do his bidding. He controls them. They are surely brainwashed. Blame him. Bush is a righteous man. His subordinates do his bidding as they see fit. Don’t expect him to control all of them. They are ill trained, inexperienced. Don’t blame him. Such a convenient dichotomy. The apologists have already reclaimed the moral high ground. Our barbarism pales in the face of theirs. Their sins against humanity excuse ours. What a relief. We can claim humility and righteousness once again. The vicious cycle continues." Column by Matthew Bryan.
"Once more, for those who can’t grasp it: Freedom is NOT a commodity to be doled out by 'benevolent' governments, their armies, or their agents. Government CANNOT guarantee your freedom; it can only revoke freedom. YOU are responsible for your own freedom. Government is ANTI-freedom, by definition." Column by Matthew Bryan.
Not really, says new Root Striker Matthew Bryan.
