It’s been quite a month for Washington State liberty activists, hasn’t it? We’ve seen the RLCWA faced with an easy decision. We saw the bulk of that body stand on the wrong side of history, and then we witnessed at the organization began to tear itself apart. Through it all, a dedicated group of new journalists have been there to document and report on it. Kit Lange at the Victory Girls Blog (see here, here, here, and here) Doug Parris and Roberta from the Reagan Wing (see the last 20-plus posts on the site) and Michelle McIntyre from Life of the Party (see here) have all been instrumental in spreading the truth about this group. I’ve even waded into the pool at the Reagan Wing and here on Red State (see here, here, and here). We tell the truth. That’s it. And we’re called “divisive.”
It’s worth noting that no one has made the assertion that anything that we’ve said is wrong or factually incorrect; instead, we’re told that we’re dividing the (liberty) movement.
Are we, though? Are a few people the cause of division? Or is the movement divided and a few people have the courage to point it out? I would argue that the latter is true.
