It's hard to fight against billionairs. But fight we must!

The lesson to be learned here is that freedom-hating liberals do not sleep. They lie in wait for us to drop our guard and then pounce like a starving cat.

While I often call him "Bloomingidiot" the truth is he is a very intelligent man,, even if morally and philosophically bankrupt.  So; it's not surprising to me that he would shift efforts to the states because i believe the state houses and capitals are precisely where restoration; preservation or loss of our rights will be won or lost.

 

The federal government is a lost cause...it's too large, too bloated and too corrupt to be of much use to anyone at this point.  The individual states, however, still hold the possibility of providing both protection of and then restoration of our rights to be free citizens (rather than subjects).

"A 23% drop from this time last year...".
But that means those gun laws are working and we need more .... /s

If they worked so well then why did 6 people die in NYC this weekend compared to how many in states with much less restrictive laws? Edited June 3, 2013 by jonathon1289
