Couldn't agree with this writer more...


At The Atlanta Journal Constitution in Gingrey’s home state,
writer
Jay Bookman takes issue with the increasing trend of Americans
coming
to public meeting with deadly force in-tow.


“It is attempted intimidation,” he wrote. “It is an
acknowledgment
that, lacking the intellectual firepower and ammunition to carry
the
day, the person in question is prepared to try to settle the
issue
using the kind of firepower and ammunition that any idiot can
purchase
at a local gunshop.”


Bookman continues: “It also reflects a growing mindset among some
that
the government just isn’t listening and thus must be made to
listen,
one way or the other. There’s a fundamental childishness to that
attitude, a notion that equates listening to agreement. The
person
in
question is not prepared to accept the idea that having listened
to
him, a majority of his fellow Americans might decide that he is
wrong.
So he reserves the right to try to impose his view at the point
of
a
gun.”


I suspect that the president is much safer with people who are
legally
carrying guns than with anyone else. In most states those who have
guns
have passed back ground checks, so have been "validated".- Hide

the 2nd amendment

You forgot to mention they will be the last line of defense when the
government starts collecting books they don't like and piling them in
the
streets to be burned. What sounds familiar about that?


Steve


NRA members will be the first to help the gov't collect the books and
burn them. They don't like them smart alecky folks.


who was it that said 'when a dictatorship comes to america, it won't
be with the hammer and sickle...it'll come wrapped in the flag, and
carrying a cross'....

aesop?

Who said the man who controls the election is the man who counts the
votes.
Lots of SEIU employees in every polling place I have worked for the last
twenty years.-


since about 7% of americans are unioned, but there is no penalty for
firing people who ATTEMPT to unionize, we know where the power in THAT
relationship is, don't we?

you probably believe in monsters under the bed, too.

reply: The quote about the man who counts the votes is from Josef Stalin.

And I can see you've never looked under MY bed.
