NOQ Report - Conservative Christian News, Opinions, and Quotes By  D Parker
Polls show the people value liberty and their civil rights and reject compromises based on mass murder fueled by media contagion.
Now that everyone should be following the Rob Pincus rule of never compromising with the anti-liberty left and their allies in the anti-freedom lobby when it comes to our basic civil rights. Itâs time to talk about why we always need to follow this very important rule.
Letâs begin by noting why the anti-liberty left has a near manic obsession with âuniversal background checksâ, the issue they push whenever they can, even when they have no bearing on the crime in question. Even when they would do nothing to keep anyone safe from harm because most people already undergo background checks.
Simply put, they obsess over this issue because itâs the quickest way to their nirvana of virtual gun confiscation â better known as âuniversal gun registrationâ. Dean Weingarten has made this point for more than 20 years in his essay Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation â Updated 2019 Edition that we referenced when the same issues became prevalent with another series of mass murder tragedies brought on by the psychological phenomena of media contagion.
It is well worth a read because it illustrates the danger of these checks as well as why the anti-liberty left constantly obsesses over them. But we do need to outline the other reasons why we can never compromise with the people out to destroy our freedom and civil rights.
The authoritarian socialist two-step
This is one of the authoritarian leftâs favorite games. They start with step 1, asserting that there arenât any laws on guns with outright lies such as âitâs easier to buy a gun than it is to voteâ, or the ever-popular âeasy access to gunsâ.
They then get whatever they can with step 2, chipping away at our civil rights, after which they immediately revert back to step 1. Pretending nothing has been done and they still have that annoying âeasy access to a gunâ lie. Rinse, lather, repeat.
This is why any kind of compromise is a foolâs errand. Simply because any type of âbipartisanshipâ will be promptly forgotten, followed by new demands. The fact is, the pro-liberty right has been compromising with the anti-liberty left for decades, each time giving in to pressure and giving up a little more freedom. What has it got us? The authoritarians simply come around for more.
Polling shows a shift towards the pro-liberty point of view.
Itâs always been standard fare for the anti-liberty left and its allies in the anti-freedom lobby to cite old polling taken at the moment of high emotion surrounding a mass shooting. In most cases, these will be an almost meaningless generic question that will be extrapolated to a specific assertion on âuniversal background checksâ and similar pieces of anti-freedom legislation.
In the past, even the numbers supposedly obtained from Republicans have shown a willingness for more restrictions on freedom. That has changed recently, leftist still clamor for restrictions on liberty while this isnât the case from the pro-freedom side. Many are beginning to see that knee-jerk reactions and restrictions that deprive the innocent of their civil rights wonât solve the problem.
A brand new Rasmussen survey indicates that 64 percent of likely U.S. voters say âitâs not possible to completely prevent mass shootings,â and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says this is proof voters are smarter than Joe Biden and his anti-gun Democrat colleagues on Capitol Hill.

âWeâre not surprised that a majority of likely voters have this one figured out better than Biden,â said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. âAfter Georgia and Colorado, fewer than one in four (23%) believe mass shootings can be completely prevented, and those voters must live in the same fantasy land as the president and his Congressional comrades.â
âAs one might expect,â Gottlieb observed, âDemocrats by a 77 percent margin favor stricter gun control laws, but 71 percent of Republicans are against tougher laws, and so are 60 percent of Independent voters, according to the survey.
âWhat this tells us at the Citizens Committee is that Joe Biden and the Democrat leadership are out of touch with a majority of voters,â he continued, âand Democrats as a whole actually make up the so-called âfringeâ of the electorate when it comes to guns and the Second Amendment. We have said it before, and will continue repeating it, Democrats have become the party of gun confiscation and prohibition, not just gun control. The farther Democrats drift toward an anti-freedom, anti-liberty agenda, the farther the party, and its leadership, move away from traditional American ideals.

One cannot compromise with liars and those acting in bad faith.
Letâs be blunt about this, it is impossible to negotiate and compromise with those who cannot be truthful and do not want to work on a level playing field. The anti-liberty leftâs lies on their assault on freedom are legion. Weâve detailed them over the years, the most egregious being the âno one is talking about taking your gunsâ lie.
Our extensive research and documentation of the myriad times they have demanded this has this way beyond a laughable lie. Not to mention now that with gun confiscation SWATing aka âred flagâ laws being prevalent, itâs almost mind-boggling that anti-liberty leftists would even bother trying to exploit this lie.
This brings up the other aspect of this issue, in that one side exploits lies and emotional arguments. If not outright false demonization in its propaganda screeds. How is the pro-liberty community to âcompromiseâ with those that accuse it of being domestic terrorists regularly?
The Bottom Line â We are not going to compromise on our civil rights.
One cannot compromise with those out to deprive the people of their civil rights. We have shown that itâs a foolsâ errand since it achieves nothing but demands for even more of our liberty. While the anti-liberty leftists may pause in smearing us as terrorists and mass murderers, it will only be a momentary respite.
Soon enough they will be back with new lies and accusations while they make new demands designed to destroy our civil rights. Demands for âuniversal background checksâ will inevitably be followed by calls for virtual gun confiscation â better known as universal gun registration. Meanwhile, they will come up with new ways of making the exercise of a common-sense human right to be even more expensive and embarrassing.
Some characterize the left as being âanti-gunâ or the even more hideous phrase âanti-gunnerâ. These terms miss the mark in two main ways. The anti-liberty left isnât anti-gun by any stretch of the imagination. They just donât want those guns to be in the hands of their opposition, the pro-liberty right.
Second, it should clear that the left is anti-liberty and always has been. They only fake support of civil rights and liberty to attain power and control over the people. That is their true priority, they are anti-liberty through and through, always remember that.
