Well said Marshal'
I think all of us on all the gunboards are very uneasy right now. Its like seeing a tidlewave coming in the distance knowing we can't do a thing about it. Just trying to prepare to survive the coming years.
Thanks, Marshal,
I wish more people like you who have been in a liberals fantasy country would stand up and speak. You have first hand knowledge that it doesn't work (at least not well) and that you give up too much for the little you receive.
Actually, part of the "fantasy world" works fine in my old country, because of huge income from exporting oil and gas plus the fact that they have one of the highest income taxes in the world. ....

Pioneer, I agree with everything you said,EXCEPT about McCain. Some one else said it first, but it is possible that the Manchurian candidate could be WORSE than Obama or Clinton. If either of them attempt any restrictions then MOST republicans will resist simply because they belong to the other party, same with Civic and Conservative Religious Leaders, HOWEVER, if that RINO rat is pres and tries the same thing, (which he has in the past IE "gun show loophole") the resistance will be shattered because he's NOT from the other party.

By the way, Tom, we could do a lot for airport security if only we required some flights to be "pork eaters" and others to not be. The Muslims have some kind of cleansing ritual for eating pork....not too likely to fly into buildings with oinker grease in their guts....
Well said.
I think looking at the invasion passing over our southern border and the Amicus Brief of D.C. vs. Heller, and a couple of other things, that the traitor Bush has done more harm than Gore or Kerry would have (you have no idea how much it hurts to say that). Everyone knew where Gore and Kerry were coming from.....but Bush sold us out. "Read my lips...", G.W, err, no G.H Bush....oh well, fruit falling close to the tree trunk or whatever.
I thought I was doing the right thing voting for the lesser of two evils and voted for GW. The lesser of two evils is still evil....as was so aptly put by Michael Bane.
I think, as much as I dislike the Democratic candidates, that McCain has the potential for greater harm....once again, I'd rather get punched in the face then stabbed in the back. And it's not that I think I can avoid either, it is just I prefer getting punched in the face....something about backstabbing by "one of your own" that I don't like.
If McCain is the candidate, I'm staying home because I won't vote for him and can't vote for the Democratic candidate.

The reality is that they will all be bad, unimaginably so. As we were blindsided by Bush and the SG brief, we will be blindsided by everything that any of these people do while in the White House. I am of the opinion that the last 16 years have just been a prelude, and that we cannot even imagine what kinds of bad stuff will come out of Washington in the next 8 years, just that it will be bad.
If we go into it not trusting ANYTHING any of those socialists say then HOPEFULLY they won't be able to "blindside" us. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS AND LEGISLATION ARE IRRELEVANT, "RIGHTS" ARE NOT GRANTED BY THE CONSTITUTION, ONLY RECOGNIZED. The Declaration of independence states "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," The Bill of rights simply itemizes the rights in a more specific form, they are not open to interpretation, legislation, regulation, or any other form of infringement. See Miranda v Arizona, "When rights secured by the constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." Cockburn v State of Texas, "The right of the individual to bear arms in defense of the state or himself is absolute. He does not derive it from the Government. It is one of the "high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and is excepted out of the general powers of government. A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, Because it is above the law and independent of lawmaking power.
Those are just 2 examples, many more exist, victim disarmament is illegal as well as immoral. I don't care who gets elected, I ain't surrendering squat, and I intend to be in peoples faces about it. I don't care what kind of socialist dream world some bubble headed ass lives in they do NOT have the right to change my constitutional rights, THAT IS WHY THEY WERE SPECIFIED. If I offend people I can only say "GOOD", if I scare people I can only ask "What do YOU have in mind that my insistence on MY rights scares you.

Good points all, tombogon, and I agree.Tom, you make great points. I just think it's time to hunker down...the battle is lost without an aroused populace and, I think, that's going to take punishment....high taxes, property confiscation, job loss,...i.e., their ox being gored and losing their "good life.
There have been a number of posts and threads here about what happens is this "soft" war should turn hard and these thoughts have to be turned into actions. I honestly think that is the direction we're heading, and there is damn little we can do now to stop it, especially with the candidates we have offered to us. Not one is qualified to be President, not one is even thinkable as CINC. ...........
