question:

How is it that the “New Black Pantherz” are so intimidating? They appear to be just standing there. So what?

I mean, if I were a 14 year old boy or a 17 year old girl, then yeah, I can see where they might be somewhat intimidating.

But an adult? Afraid enough of the scary looking black guy(s) dressed in semi-paramilitary black outfits (how cute)  that he/she chooses not to vote, or feels intimidated into choosing to vote for their candidate (how would they know?)

Look, I’m mot there, and I am not an inner city dweller, so maybe I don’t understand. But really, what’s the big deal?

If they chose to attempt to accompany me to the voting booth, then that is one thing. But unless they do, then what is the big deal? Just a couple of friends hanging out. It’s a free country. As long as they stay out of the polling place, let ’em. They aren’t breaking any laws until they force people to leave the area and not vote under the threat of violence…and I just haven’t seen that happening.

And if they choose to do so, the protect yourself,… deal with the threat by whatever means is necessary. After the first one bleeds out on the sidewalk figures out that you won’t let him intimidate you, the rest will get the message. Stand up and refuse to be cowed.

Else you are just a sheep.

Today’s the day

When the citizens of the country decide whether they want more statism, more socialism, and less freedom.

Or if they want 4 more years of Obama’s agenda.

Seriously though, this election will, like few others, decide the direction of the country and its policies. Whether we choose as a whole to go down the path which Europe has already taken, or take another route to destruction.

No matter the outcome, expect cries of “fraud” ,”cheat” and “vote tampering”. Expect multiple recounts and maybe even court cases. Likely there will be cases full of (exclusively) votes for the blue team found in an election supervisors car the next day in Minnesota, Wisconsin and (of course) Chicago if things get close. Expect intimidation by the NAACP and/or Black Panthers (snicker, let ’em try that here) at polling places in the cities.

Oh, and depending on the outcome of the election, we shall see if those folks who promise to riot are men of action or not. I’m betting not, but I plan for riots. Just in case, if Obama loses, plan on staying away from potential hotspots, and pay close attention over the next few days. Leave quickly if a large group of “blue” folks get together and/or appear agitated.

You can’t reason with an angry crowd. Don’t bother to try. leave, or get out of sight.

Stay safe. Maybe keep your kids home from school if that seems necessary. Your call.

Me, I’m in a rural (more or less) area. I got no worries and a clear field of fire. Gonna work, go home, and watch things (un)fold.
