    What would you be willing to do to protect your child's life if you thought you had no choice?

    So Broidy, an uber rich Republican who owns a house with 19 bathrooms, is going to be the fall guy for some other rich republican asshole?

    Not even Cris Carter would recommend that.

    There's very little I wouldn't do if I thought I had no choice to protect my child's life. That's why I shouldn't be the only person with control over those decisions. I can't always be trusted to make the rational one.

    Yeah. No.

    That's not really what the author is suggesting.

    He's saying take up armed resistance against a government that would do such a thing - although it's hard to tell because the relevant paragraphs are a little muddy.


    you don’t want America to become Britain — if you don’t want to wake up one morning to find the American state defying loving and prudent parents to declare that death is in a child’s “best interests” — I would suggest that you not wait until America is secularized, centralized, and authoritarian. I’d suggest that you not wait until the moment when the state has seized the power to act like Britain, and you’re reduced to arguing, “I know the government can do this, but it shouldn’t.”

    Because if you wait until then, you’ve already lost.

    Across Twitter, I’ve seen conservatives talk about Alfie’s case and discuss “Second Amendment remedies.” Something about that case has unlocked the revolutionary spirit in some American hearts. And rightfully so. Because if our nation reaches the point where it treats children and families the way Britain has treated Alfie and his parents, then the promise of American liberty will be broken. Is Britain’s present a preview of America’s future? It should grieve us greatly to know that the answer to that question is in serious doubt.

    I think you and I agree on a great deal when it comes to Alfie Evans.

    Well, Europe usually sets the trends for America so Britain's present might indeed be a preview of America's future ... Guns up!
