DEA, BATFE, EEOC, etc. While superficially these are organizations fighting crime and bigotry, they are, in actuality, organizations that monitor peoples' actions and mandate, to the extent that they can (and often illegaly), peoples' lives. <BR/><BR/>Two generations ago, one quarter of a million Americans died in combat to defeat two other governments whose actions in suppressing liberty presently are not much different than our own. <BR/><BR/>Thirty percent of all prison inmates incarcerated in this country are non-violent drug offenders. In other words, there are are more political prisoners in the US that in the rest of the world combined. <BR/><BR/>The vast majority of Americans today, are as naive as to what constitutes liberty, as were the overwhelming majority of Germans in the 1930's.<BR/><BR/>When will, if ever, the citizens of this country wake up, repeal the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution and, in the process, return this country limited government. <BR/><BR/>Jimmie Jones <BR/><BR/>PS: The CATO Institute has some excellent literature on the suffocation of liberty in America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-45786421936695908232008-06-06T10:42:00.000-04:002008-06-06T10:42:00.000-04:00I can't believe many 'patriots' don't already real...I can't believe many 'patriots' don't already realize this. Yes it may amount to only one or a handful of people like me getting arrested for writing that "If we're not fighting for the right to fight back, what are we fighting for?" or "When guns are outlawed, "Liberal" season must/will begin,” which I do all the time.<BR/><BR/>When they succeed in scaring us back into the ‘crime argument’ for the 2nd Amendment, which they will find a way to win, by saying ‘self-defense(our most basic right) is no reason to own a gun,” because after all, “No one has the right to shoot legally elected, hired or appointed government employees,” they will have us right where they want us and soon we will be like England: <BR/><BR/>http://www.willowtown.com/reality/britsinsane.htm<BR/><BR/>On the day one of these people or groups are arrested and sent off to wherever or convicted, we must begin killing our authoritarian types, regardless of what label they hide behind. If you don’t think so you are not prepared for what is coming and not willing to kill for your Liberty and thus don’t deserve it.waypasthadenoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859840530208615786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-90839698845950499632008-06-06T08:46:00.000-04:002008-06-06T08:46:00.000-04:00Kudos Tim."Foolish liberals who are trying to read...Kudos Tim.<BR/>"Foolish liberals who are trying to read the 2nd Amend. out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a public safety hazard don't see the danger in the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like." - Alan Dershowitz (at one time a left winger's left winger). When one considers the present administration's legalization of torture, extraordinary foreign renditions, the nullification of Habeus Corpus, the zoning of free speech for presidential motorcades, etc., Mr. Dershowitz' words appear sadly prophetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-84314470841757997212008-06-06T08:45:00.000-04:002008-06-06T08:45:00.000-04:00Mmmmm, "camps."

I guess it's time to send donations to the JPFO and GOA, just to make sure.<BR/><BR/>Aw, heck, all they'd have to do is check with the local sheriff's office for a list of CCW permits. After all, anybody who's paranoid enough to want to actually have the means to defend themselves while in public is probably crazy enough to think that they have a right to their life, liberty and property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-58226935492336994242008-06-06T00:55:00.000-04:002008-06-06T00:55:00.000-04:00The passage of the "PATRIOT" Act actually confirme...The passage of the "PATRIOT" Act actually confirmed something I had long suspected: news accounts at the time noted, buried near the bottom of coverage, that only one Representative, and no Senators, had read it and indeed there was only one copy.John Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801684602403824157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-33009501810490763772008-06-05T19:28:00.000-04:002008-06-05T19:28:00.000-04:00Wouldn't be surprised if Obama was martyred by the...Wouldn't be surprised if Obama was martyred by the Lizard Queen and it's blamed on the southerners.

I even broke down and bought an EBR (albeit not an AR).<BR/><BR/>Maybe the best thing Ashcroft ever did was scrap the background check records Reno illegally held, but I've no doubt that the new wave of goons will have no trouble tracking down Dangerous Elements. As Tam notes, membership lists of various gun rights groups are vulnerable, as will be marketing data from the likes of Cabela's and CTD. CMP may be forced to turn over their sales records... there's just too much damning information out there for the grabbers to get their hands on, and you can bet a paycheck they will get their hands on it in an Obama administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-68408093107663174252008-06-05T16:37:00.000-04:002008-06-05T16:37:00.000-04:00I have to admit, I never did quite lose the feelin...I have to admit, I never did quite lose the feeling we're due for another "Late Unpleasantness" sometime in the next couple generations. As you've noted before, once the stakes get high enough with federal power, at some point one side or the other may well not wish to step aside gracefully. <BR/><BR/>Thing is, I think Senator Clinton has learned enough from the early 90's and her husband's missteps to be clever and subtle enough not to force any Concord Green moments. <BR/><BR/>Obama? Not so much.. he just seems too insulated to even know when he'd be pushing too hard, too fast. <BR/><BR/>Whether in the long run that'd be for good or ill I've no idea.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682072668997410668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-4813769803959628822008-06-05T14:59:00.000-04:002008-06-05T14:59:00.000-04:00You leave Fred Thompson out of this!You leave Fred Thompson out of this!HokiePundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649933279845677962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-57031831379930935252008-06-05T14:54:00.000-04:002008-06-05T14:54:00.000-04:00Nonononono.See, "Guns" is a non-starter of an issu...Nonononono.<BR/><BR/>See, "Guns" is a non-starter of an issue right now, politically.<BR/><BR/>"Terrorism", on the other hand, is still Page One stuff.
