Quote of the Day

Communists are always certain of themselves because their certainty is ideological, not factual—and ideology doesn’t require reality.

All successful politicians express great confidence. I do not know how many actually believe themselves. But I know a great many of them seemingly compulsively tell lies. Truth and reality are tough, really tough. So, the more connected to reality and the more truthful you are the less confidence you will express. That gives the communists and liars a big advantage in getting followers because they express the confidence that gives people a feeling of stability in an uncertain world.

The same can be said for anti-gun people. But anti-gun people are mostly communists, so that isn’t adding much.
