This is called ‘politics’... if it's too hot in the kitchen, GET OUT!

In America, you can elect representatives, send them to DC, write books, speak on TV and radio, give interviews, GO OUT AND VOTE, etc... remember? Here, there are many legitimate and effective ways to work within the system.

If you don't like the laws, you can work within the system to change things.

This is NOT (yet) some third world s^%$ hole where you just up and do as you please because you want it to be different!

Conservatives in America are living proof that you have to live with the state of things until and UNLESS you can vote the people and the changes you want. Right now the Liberals have THEIR guy (such as he is) in office. If HE can't cope with the system and work effectively within the system... they can BLAME HIM!!!

Most of these clowns live the life of luxury that few of us will have the opportunity to. Cocktail parties, mixing with “celebs” and the politically correct persons that “really matter”?

I am with you. I prefer to never to any of the above. I go to an occasional baseball game and other than that I am at the range or home. I wouldn’t piss on one of today’s celebs if they were on fire.

Damn right. And when TSHTF, they will be sending their hired flunkies to red America to confiscate our food storage. They won't get a warm welcome.

I hope to live to see the day that we hold Nuremburg type trials for them and give them the Julius Streicher treatment for their key role in transforming this country from good to evil.

Already? We usually don’t get ‘breaking news’ from print gerbalists any sooner than 48 hours or so from the time it happens.
Here on FR it breaks almost in real time.
This news is so yesterday!
Hey look—a squirrel!

If you read my post again, you’ll discover we are describing the same diagnosis, using different words. And, of course, I accept what you state.

Fair enough. I don’t have enough time to back-research posts to understand the author and genesis (so to speak!)

Me too.

If I had to live my life in a city...
with a constant barrage of noise and smoke...
with a constant barrage of computer screens big and small...
cellphones stuck to your head...
don’t even know if its day or night because haven’t looked up from the phone....
face planted in a computer looking at the googles or vidja game...
facebook...
myface...
spaceface...
yourpage...
twit...
tweet...
eating organic tofu and gluten free seaweed...
regulations...
ordinances...
not a creek or a stream in sight except the park where all the crackheads are tweaking...
can’t shoot nothing...
can’t take a leak off your porch...

...I would blow my brains out.

Hey, no state-run media here. All the little parrots just happen to use precisely the same phrase - “shameless” - as Dear Leader, and quote the same phony statistic - 90% approval. All of them, goose-stepping along in a tight formation. It’s so pathetic it’s actually funny.

There are two kinds of gun control advocates; The ‘low information’ and the ‘true believer.’

The ‘low information’ gun control advocates don’t really know anything about guns. They just repeat whatever sound bite or pithy factoid they’ve heard lately. They are either scared of guns or simply don’t like them, don’t know why anyone would want to own a real gun, and wish guns would just go away. While they may not necessarily intend for everyone’s guns to be confiscated they would most likely say ‘Well, it’s probably for the best,’ and go along with it.

The ‘true believer’ gun control advocates have one simple goal: To make the private possession of any firearm a felony. Period. They want to confiscate every gun not controlled by the government. Some simply hate guns while others see privately held guns as an ‘impediment’ to some other goal or plan. They will take as many years as necessary to achieve this goal, decades even. They are nothing if not patient. They will never stop. When they grow too old to continue they will pass on the job to the next generation of ‘true believers.’

This bill’s defeat is simply a battle in an ongoing war.

Gun rights advocates must remain forever vigilant.

If libtards don’t hate me, then I am not doing a great job of pissing them off.

Weird huh? Kind of like a self fulfilling prophecy? “They say what I say and I say what they say. It’s almost like we’re twins or something.”

Roger that. Just like rust never sleeps, radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbag socialist are always plotting and planning some new scheme to deprive liberty lovers of said liberty. Dark of night negotiations are on going for sure. By voting to support our rights, hairy screed only ensured himself of being able to bring more crap up at a later date.

The volume of phony outrage is in direct proportion to the weakness of the gun-grabbers arguments.

We need to stay focused!

Most of the news from the Obamanation Administration centers around topics that are designed to be just another Obamanation Smokescreen to divert the attention away from Obama managing each new Constitutional Crisis into a Regulation that violates the Constitution.

“Never let a Crisis go to waste,” is the rule that guides Commie Obama.

Examples of these Obamanation distractions are most of the social issues that get attention by the Liberal Agenda Media.

Our sorry Congressional RINOs have been to stupid to learn this smoke and mirrors distraction game, and run from bargain to bargain or deal to deal, with nary a thought to use REGULAR ORDER, as designed by our Founding Fathers to protect us from Tyrants such as B. Hussein Obama.

As any card-carrying Obamanation Journalist will tell you:

” - - - We must support Obama “ - - - TO FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - - - ” into a totally Regulated Communist Obamanation of Debt and Doom.

After all, how else can “- - - everyone get a fair shot?” - - - “

BTW, RECEIVING a “fair shot” would have been a lot easier if Commie Obama had succeeded in his personal recent attempted “bipartisan” destruction of the 2nd Amendment to disarm us - - - - .

For those of us who enjoyed Obastard’s temper tantrum yesterday, I recommend reading the article. Enjoy the gloat, but tomorrow we have to get back to work to stop these imbeciles who are working at the state level.

Typical “our rights, not yours” diatribe and phony outrage.

We’re on it. At least I am here in NV. Looks like “we” managed to avoid any catastrophic legislation this time around. I get updates (along with many others I’m sure) from one of our pro 2nd amendment state senators and assemblymen to keep us up to date so we can comment and contact others who may have a “differing” opinion.
