and seemingly, prone to violence. (see comments re: the first link…. and the second section in the 2nd link)

Do you think that there is a point at which an armed uprising is acceptable vis-a-vis the alternatives? Is it ok to take action preemptively?

Is there a point at which you will rise up in revolt? (BTW, don’t tell me, I could be a provocateur….But decide for yourself where the line is…best to do so beforehand, so you’ll not just be ruled by emotions like anger or fear). But where is your line in the sand? Having to show your papers every time you enter or leave a town….Or whenever a policeman decides he wants to know…..or when taxes get above 60%….or what?

Seriously though, while Roberta and I may disagree, she has a point…Starting the fight may be a tactical mistake. But I think not being willing to start one makes you weaker….

Something to think about.

and not by me….

Will this fly? I think not, at least not unless a MAJOR upset in November…..But still, the fact that is has happened is another crack in the wall of the socialist president. A major paper is publishing this rant…..

I personally don’t think the charges are valid….but even if they stick, the votes wouldn’t be there.

Mr. Obama, The Socialist Democrats, and the rest of the welfare/Obamacare crowd:
If an able-bodied person is ABSOLVED of the responsibility of providing for the physical needs of themselves and their dependents, by what logic do you arrive at a place where I am BURDENED with the responsibility of providing for the physical needs of said person and their dependents?

Seriously……Explain the logic.

I’m waiting to be enlightened.

Via INSTY, comes the rerun of the REAL STORY of Katrina.

The truths are manyfold. The fact is that the Liberal DNC backed governmnent failed on nearly every level in New Orleans. The fact is that the National Guard, and the Coast Guard, and the rest of the military backed first responders did a wonderful job. The fact is that the union backed locals failed miserably, at least until shored up by the National Guard. The fact is that the DNC backed mayor had less ability than Democratness (and blackness), and couldn’t govern OR LEAD the people who elected him….Same story for the governor, who failed her state miserably.

The fact is that the story as represented by the media was at best poorly and incompetently reported, and at worst a well executed and well planned LIE to the American people for political purposes.

The fact is that the first reponders did a wonderful job, and that FEMA, which is not supposed to be a first responder, was castigated for not being there early enough, and for not doing enough. But the fact is that all of the story of Katrina was a lie.

Let us not forget, the non DNC run states, like Mississippi, recovered faster, even though they had more damage, did a better job of taking care of their citizens, and didn’t have a significant percentage of their populations who couldn’t take care of themselves or plan more than 4 hours in advance.

As they say, READ THE WHOLE THING.

without much fanfare…..We marked the anniversary of the passing of a senator….

Who noticed?

The late, unlamented, Teddy.

How much damage did he do the US in his years in the senate?

I, for one, am glad he is gone. As forgotten as Ms Kopechne, I hope that he will meet her in the afterlife, and have to face her.

 ETA:
In another blog, in comments, someone pointed out that Teddy has, for the first time, made “one year sober”.  

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

Winston Churchil.

or is it?

“Obama’s stimulus, passed in his first month in office, will cost more than the entire Iraq War … 15% more.”
Read…think…

See here for details.

More attacks on the US by our Socialist in Chief…He who hate the United States, and the structure which was so repressive that we elected him….

So he whines about us, our history (well rewritten), then apologizes to the UN for all that we are….

Seems that several prominent Democrats have suggested a “Transaction Tax“.

hey, it’s only 1%!

One percent more of your hard earned paycheck. One percent of your retirement EVERY TIME you move money from one mutual fund to another…..One percent every time you pay a home loan payment, or a credit card payment…..one percent every time you buy a car, or make a car payment. 

On top of the rest of the crushing taxes we already pay…..and the more crushing taxes that take place on Jan. 1, 2011 to begin to pay the Obamacare bill forward….

The real way to a “Debt free America” doesn’t include increased spending, and increased taxes, but rather the opposite….Unless you area a socialist democrat….

Expect to see this at the next lame duck session of congress. At that point, they will have NOTHING TO LOSE.

They used the IRS to nail Capone when they couldn’t prove he’d done anything wrong….

(and that was in Chicago….)

Now, they will attempt to disarm us…not by taking our rifles, pistols, and shotguns, but by making the ammo we shoot illegal!  (interesting coincidence that the politician to whom the EPA reports is (or at least once was) a CHICAGO politician…..mmmmm?)

The one thing you gotta admit about the left in general, and the anti-gunners in particular: they keep trying until they get their way…..if we let them. 

(HT to a bunch of folks)
