I am very torn right now. I have always considered myself an optimist, and as a student of history I know that as a country we have weathered worse. I'm not sure anymore. As to a "last stand," I think our last stand should be beating down the left so that they are no longer a threat for at least a generation or two. They are not simply an opposing view anymore. They are a threat to our freedom and liberty. Hear!, hear! Excellently articulated. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

It seems as though everyone wants to get away from the lunatic left states. We see plenty of people fleeing California, New York, Illinois, and other liberal disaster areas. But we do not see the opposite in Conservative Red states.
Liberal left socialists like rocky mtn bill leave their liberal left homes, and they migrate to Conservative states. But then, like a cancer, they start to try implementing their liberal dogma in their new adopted states. So in short order, they begin to screw up those places as well.
It is refreshing to see more and more people finally reaching the conclusion that liberalism is a threat to our Republic, and a mental disorder. But it is going to take much more than that to reverse the tide. I've long thought that a good place for gun owners to start is simply to ditch the silly notion that we need to accept these libtard guys into some Big Tent. That is simply absurd, because they are stabbing us in the backs with their unbridled support for anti-gun Liberal Left Democrats.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

It's a problem in Virginia. It is looking more and more like Terry McAuliffe will be elected Governor again. He is actually from my hometown of Syracuse, New York. He attended a rival high school. He could not get elected to the lowest local position in New York State, yet he shows up in Virginia and gets elected as Governor in 2014. Since you can only do one term here, he laid low for a term and now plans to run again. Because the Republican's can never seem to get their act together and run someone exciting, he is most likely going to cruise to another term. Which means even more restrictive gun laws that do nothing to stop violent crime.
The left run State House and Senate just keep passing intrusive laws while trying to neuter law enforcement. A quick look at most of their bios show that many are not even from Virginia. Many are from the usual suspect States, New York, New Jersey, etc. A couple more are not even from this country. Not that a naturalized citizen shouldn't hold office, but at least believe in and support liberty and freedom. Virginia is now much like New York State. The Upstate vote no longer matters, it is how NYC goes, so goes the State. Same in Virginia. The rural vote no longer matters. So goes Richmond and the Northern VA suburbs so goes the State. It is wrong, but it is the sign of the times.

Keith, As usual, and typical for conservaturds, you assume things you cannot know. You have no evidence, but you just know they're true. I was born and raised in Montana. My career took me to other places, but this is home. As for the threat to the republic, see today's New York Post regarding Trump's, and your, delusions. You're a sucker and a loser. The big tent is why you lost, and given your cultish devotion why you'll go on losing and losing. Consider emigrating to Serbia. It's a place that shares your values.

We've 'discussed' specifics about the Montana of today, in which there is evidence of libturdism that was not around eightyish years ago, but do you really view your home through the lense of the nypost? What would a big city, east coast blog do to nuture your feelings of entitlement to free access elk hunting in the Rockies?

Craig, you obviously know little of Montana history. This is a mining state, and miners here are union members.We have a long history of Democratic politics and some famous members. The state's descent into Republicanism is strewn with sorry events. Check out the murder of the Montana Power Company.

Yes Bill, I've seen some heavy metal defoliation, indiscriminant tailing piles, stripping, tainted streams and super fund clean up sites, or is that part of the democrat platform that you selectively ignore? The industry of the no benefit, contract worker.
Actually, one of my biggest regrets is not buying a little mining claim up in the Lewis and Clark for a hunting cabin, old shafts all over those mountains.

That is the wonder of public land hunting in the west, anyone with the motivation and a tag can hunt our public lands, generally free of charge. That is the kind of entitlement I fully support, and one of the reasons I strongly beleive in sensible management of those lands.

Montana is reliably Republican, by any metric. Also reliably a federal welfare state by any metric.
