  1. Remember, the truth is always the truth regardless of timing or delivery. I'm 66 years old and ive never seen the divide any deeper nor the rancor any nastier than it is now between the opposite sides of the political spectrum. It's time to tell the truth. These people want to disarm you and me; while keeping their arms and bodyguards. It's nothin more that the social darwinism thing that wuz popular in the early 1900s. At its core; it says: "....We the elites are smarter and more responsible than you less evolved "ordinary citizens"; therefore we'll TELL YOU what's good for you and make you abide by it, because we are "more advanced beings; and you are too ignorant to know what's good for you; so we'll disarm you and threaten you with the power of the state to keep you in line....".

    I wouldn't worry about offending these sons and daughters of satan. They are tryin to disarm you and make you a serf while tellin you that that's not what their doing. Finestein just as well have been standing on the caskets of the kids murdered at Newtown when she started this show. It's political opportunism, pure and simple.

    Remember, political figures are "public figures". That's a choice they make goin into politics. They bring their families along with them, and should have no expectation of privacy for themselves or their cgi members. They may try "theatrics" and "feigned outrage" at those who criticize or point uncomfortable things out publically; demanding that family be "off limits" ALA Clinton and Nobama. I say "baloney". It's a "red herring"; they know better. It's nothin but an opportunity to try to divert the conversation from the real issue to a side issue that really means nothing for tactical advantage. Dont get drug off in the woods with this baloney; that's what it is. The republicans criticized Truman's daughters piano playin ability; the demorats called Lincoln the "Illinois Baboon; the demorats said Bush wuz dumb. They just may have been right on all counts. They were, in fact, "unkind on all counts" and meant to be. Politics is a tough business. I say: "...The hell with most all of them... Theyve asked for this, let it be...".

    Remember the great quote from a real hero and giant of politics, Fredrick Douglas: "...I will always join with those who are doing right, and never join with those who are doin wrong...". That's exactly where we are today. I refuse to turn on and "eat" those who are tryin to help in this battle. I would advise you and others in the kindest way possible, not to do so either. We're well past the point of worryin about hurting feelings and worryin about timing. This one is for all the marbles.

    Leroy,
    This is clear and exactly to the point. Thanks for saying what I wish I could say so well. Great job.
  2. [quote name="East_TN_Patriot" post="896789" timestamp="1359230015"]One thing to keep in mind is that many nations supporting this treaty are countries engulfed in civil war, lawlessness, and genocide.  They have a different motive and perspective than we do in the United States.  They see it as a way to control the illegal weapons trade that supplies criminal warlords and makes it difficult to establish law and order.   This is also the reason I have heard for support from American politicians who do support it.  Does that mean they perceive it as a side opportunity to restrict gun ownership in the United States?  Perhaps. Regardless, the treaty must be ratified by the US Senate and treaties are subordinate to the US Constitution as they relate to American citizens.  I don't think it will be ratified, just like how the United States has refused to sign onto the treaty related to the International Criminal Court.[/quote] some supporters see it as a way to keep people from being able to overthrow their sorry asses
  3. I know I need to start reloading again. I just can't seem to carve out enough time. With the shortages of ammo I may have to move reloading up the priority list. I have a Dillon press that has been unused for over 20 years.

  4. That kind of brings up Beck's book, "Overton Window", doesn't it? Political trends and media shifting through time.

    The Overton Window is much more than a book by Glenn Beck. From Wikipedia: The Overton window is a political theory that describes as a narrow "window" the range of ideas that the public will find acceptable, and that states that the political viability of an idea is defined primarily by this rather than by politicians' individual preferences.[1] It is named for its originator, Joseph P. Overton,[2] a former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.[3] At any given moment, the “window” includes a range of policies considered politically acceptable in the current climate of public opinion, which a politician can recommend without being considered too extreme to gain or keep public office.

     

    By suggesting extreme ideas  that aren't currently acceptable, the window is moved a little at a time, to include policy that was previously outside the "window"

  5. I didn't watch the video. Don't need to since I am familiar with Morgan and Alex jones I have a good idea how it went.We don't need lunatics speaking for us, but if we continue to "be nice" and  don't stand up for our rights, we are going to wake up and find them gone. SOON.  The left is not going to play nice. They will lie, cheat, manipulate, bully or whatever it takes to sway opinion and get their way. Just calling our representatives is not going to cut it. 95% of them don't give a rat's rear end what the people want. Gun rights needs loud and aggressive leaders and some kind of show of numbers by peaceful demonstrations. Our time is short.
