Be careful about what you endorse, under a Kerry/Hitlery administration they may be bringing in the body bags for a freep-fest they don't like.

That future has been here. Just because the media didn't broadcast it didn't mean that it didn't happen.

...southern boys with guns aren't that forgiving

The last time I was excused from a jury, it was over the question to jurors, "do you own guns?"

At least three-quarters of the pool raised their hands.

You guys out there in Ga keep your heads down. This bodybag thing falls in line with some scuttlebutt that I heard about the increased chance of a terrorist attack.

"The Feds are taking into consideration that this is south-east Georgia, where a lot of people carry guns," he says, with something like pride.

Works for me.

I don't know about that. I think that tatic has been played out. You pull something on a plane today and you'll have 45 self appointed sky marshalls standing on your face.

Atlanta is about 300 miles away. There are a bunch of closer commercial airports. Are you shorting Delta stock?

"Sea Island was selected because Martha's Vineyard and other, groovier East Coast islands refused point-blank to host the summit"

Groovier perhaps to the likes of whatzername Dickson but not to the people who have made Sea Island the third most expensive real estate in the United States (after Jupiter Island, Florida, and Aspen, Colorado).

"Perhaps the more appropriate question would be "Does the Constitution have a problem with killing protesters?" and the answer is unequivocably 'yes.'

Just because I disagree with a bunch of hippies doesn't give me the right to kill them. And that is even more true with the government.

Be careful about what you endorse, under a Kerry/Hitlery administration they may be bringing in the body bags for a freep-fest they don't like.

True.. But I have no qualms whatsoever with shooting protestors on sight, when they are looting, damaging, and rioting on/in private property.

No, I was just agreeing about terrorist concerns I've heard re: the G8, too.

At that point, they are no longer "protestors." They are "rioters," "insurrectionists," and "persons engaged in felonious conduct."

Just because they're @$$holes doesn't mean it's OKAY TO KILL THEM.

But yes, you are absolutely right. It's 'silly' to demand the right to protest. I feel really 'silly' when I protest in gun-rights protests.

I guess I'd feel a lot less 'silly' if a demonRAT administration just warned me to stay away or something 'fatal' might happen to me.

Somebody's got a serious case of the vapors here. At the risk of a lawsuit I shall quote in its entirity the actual news in this article, including the violence, the atrocities, the repression, and the iron fist of authority on the faces of the protestors:

I guess the Episcopalians, Methodists, and ELCA Lutherans will have to go some to compete with that warm and fuzzy gesture to the commie/anarchists....maybe a big group hug before they leave town.

Well, they are no longer exercising free speech, and they've entered a different category.

As several have pointed out, the legitimate protestors are being infiltrated by professional violent agitators. This was true in Seattle and in Florida, but the result was peaceable (albeit HIPPIE) citizens being billyclubbed when they posed no threat.

The watermelon (green on the outside, red on the inside) protestors are succeeding in creating an atmosphere where legitimate protest can be squelched and conservatives approve because lefist scumbags are the ones being silenced.
