Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
No one wants to be on the wrong side with the bad guys. At least, that’s what people claim. Many of them don’t seem to understand which side is wrong. As strange as it seems, it must be explained to them.
People who are in favor of slavery of any variety are always on the wrong side. Even if it’s the “slavery-lite” imposed on everyone in America by Abraham Lincoln’s war -- subjugating us to an overbearing federal government that goes directly against the principles upon which America was founded. Unless it was all, from the beginning, a hoax to gain power and Lincoln was just the one who was able to finally put all the pieces in place.
People who are in favor of stealing are on the wrong side. It doesn’t matter if the theft is called a tax, extortion, armed robbery, a fine, or shoplifting. It doesn’t matter if the thief uses a gun or legislation. Theft is never ethical and those who are OK with it, under any circumstances, are on the wrong side.
Anyone who tries to deny others the liberty to defend their life, liberty, or property from all violators is on the wrong side. They often use the justification “I don’t condone violence.” If you don’t condone violence in defense, you want everyone to submit to the bad guys. This helps no one but the bad guys. They appreciate this support.
The wrong side supports censorship, war, kidnapping, vandalism, trespassing, and governing others.
Those on the wrong side will try to argue that something that is wrong in every other situation isn’t wrong if the person doing it has imaginary political authority or a government job. This is a feat of mental gymnastics I won’t participate in. A government position can’t turn wrong into right.
Anyone who is OK with violating any rights, of anyone, is on the wrong side.
Sometimes this is called being “on the wrong side of history.” Unfortunately, when the wrong side wins the battle and gets to write the history, it gets to say which side was, in its opinion, right. At least for a while. This is how a protest gets labeled an insurrection. This is how self-defense gets treated as murder. This is how refusing to submit to an armed kidnapping gets called “resisting arrest.”
Before you attack those with a different view, make sure you aren’t the one on the wrong side.
