What he said

One might wonder…..

Poking the bear DOES have consequences.

And he has poked the bear, many times. Quite hard too.

One wonders what other charges may appear if he continues his on his path.

Read Kelly’s words.

If this doesn’t chill your soul, doesn’t make you wonder how people like him do jobs like that, then you must be an automaton.

Some days I think my job is hard (and some days it is), but I don’t think I could do his.

Some people, like soldiers, police ,and EMTs, are underpaid.

With anything in THIS?

I can’t. While I admit it is a bit over the top. I cannot complain about anything in the article.

And I find that disturbing.

Seems that the folks being asked to leave Cabrini Green in Chicago (some after 30 years) are unhappy that they are being moved.

Moved.

Moved by the city.

The city is paying for the move.

After living cheaply (or no payments at all) for years and years and years.

Yet they bitch.

About someone paying for their move from a place where they paid no rent to one where they won’t.

And we wonder why the country is broke. It’s not like they have paid rent for….you know, some of them up to 30 years…..If they don’t like it, I see them as free to choose their own apartment or house AND PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES! Or stop bitching about what is given to you.

I’d throw them out on their ass.

Did yer senator vote for this?

Mine did. (at least mine until the next election).

Is there a bag limit on RINOs?

Me, I think that there should be open season.

Again, it is a good thing that dueling is against the law.

What caliber should you use for RINO?

We are, after all, slowly heading in the same direction.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

We do, however, have the second amendment. If we choose the time and place to use it, should that time come, that line be crossed.

But I ask you, where is the line? Is it distinct enough to see?

Or will we allow ourselves, like the frog, to be boiled slowly? Will we even notice the increasing temperature?

Will we one day wake up and see the line, sharply focused, behind us?

Will we lament as he did, too late?

Does the TSA have police powers? Can they arrest, or even legally detain you? Or do they have to refer cases to the local police?

Inquiring minds want to know…

If yer interested in this sort of thing, Ferfal has his BOOK on sale.

Since Argentina is where we will likely be in 5 years or so, I think its worth reading. You might too.

If not, please disregard this posting.

Is like letting someone live in your head..
