It isn’t entirely true that, as Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It’s often the case that power simply allows people the luxury of lowering façades and showing their true colors.
A good example is the recent behavior of many on the Left. Commentator Donald Kaul just wrote that he had no problem with guns being pried from their owners’ “cold, dead hands” and that Republican leaders should be dragged around a parking lot with a pick-up truck. A European college professor recommended the execution of “Climate Change Deniers” and the Pope. Closer to home, an American academic called for NRA president Wayne LaPierre’s “head on a stick” in some profanity laden tweets. And then there was voice of moderation Harry Belafonte; he didn’t ask for blood — only that Barack Obama arrest political opponents (prompting me to spoof a song in his honor).
Ah, it’s a long way from Woodstock and peace and love, isn’t it?
You might not expect such hostility, with Barack Obama’s reelection and the liberal dominance of our culture; you might think the leftists would be satisfied with their many legislative wins and be busy planning political strategy. Think again. As I wrote recently, with liberals’ victory in the culture war — and it is over — they’re now embarking upon something else: a pacification effort.

‘Could have I made any more typos than I did in that post?’
Your effort to excel was duly noted and appreciated.
That’s because nearly all of the people typically executed are their voters.
When some right wing nut does something worthy of execution (like Timmothy McVeigh) they never say a peep.
We all want to leave a mark on the world and be remembered. Some will go on to be known for great things.
I will reign as the typo king! And my rule wellbueee lagoondarie!

Not a popular position to take on these threads but here goes anyway.
“The right” is not the only group that owns guns. Many democrats own guns too and they don’t want their guns confiscated any more than we do.
It’s a minority of the left, hard core far leftists nut cases, that want to disarm Americans, obama is one of them. I believe that in our zeal to protect our God given rights, that we sometimes forget that.
Gun confiscation is not a popular position in this country over all. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t be zealous in guarding our freedoms, we definitely should.
Here in the gun grabbingest state of all, (Illinois) The state senate, (Democrats) just shot down an attempt to pass major gun control laws.
Bad day at posting :(
Tell me about it. I put Nazi Germany in 1036 a few posts ago along with about 23 other fat fingered typos...
An embarrassment for not Sphull chuckin’...I haZ it! ;)
Truth. And many of those Dems with a reluctance to surrender weaponry will suddenly get religion. Because the hard left will kill them just as quick as they will kill us.
Or TRY to.
It all sounds like hate speech to me.
Underlying all of this is the assumption that such violence may be conducted under the auspices of the State with themselves unaffected; that they may send thugs under the old "let's you and him fight" scam and then deplore both sides for violence. What needs most to be communicated in this "dialogue" is that (1) this is not Nazi Germany, where the victims had been disarmed; (2) those screaming for blood will be held as culpable as those spilling it; and (3) that the First Amendment is no protection for those intending to overthrow the Constitution by destroying the Second. You either respect the document or you don't, it isn't a cafeteria plan.
Imprisonment and murder of political opponents is neither "dialogue" nor free speech, it is warfare. There is no safe way to conduct that, even if the Left appears to think that they've found one.
I shall defer to greatness.

This was bound to happen when that Dixie Bitch and the other entertainment industry a##holes were allowed to live during the WoT.
Remember one thing. Most raging libs will not do anything but hide in a closet when the revolution launches full force by their heros.
And most cops will not risk life and family to participate. Nor will the lilitary.
Sure a number will. As we say in Germany.
But this ain’t 1036. And a whole bunch of us are not going willingly on a cattle car.
They will do what they will do. And they will reap the whirlwind outnumbered literally thousands to one. Because when you get right down to the actual ‘needs of the ‘revolution’, there are WAY more internet Libs than Bill Aytes types.
They ain’t doin SQUAT.

I disagree, leftists are bloodthirsty. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, PolPot. The legacy of death is legion.
They will do much more than squat. Be prepared and wary. They circle like wolves now, takeing away rights and privacy and freedoms. No one manuvers well in a corner.
I was referring to the internet warriors that flood twitter with a lot of bluster. The Bill Ayers types will ABSOLUTELY go full throttle.
All the big mouth wannabee EBT rappers/hioster/trust funders will stay tucked in the basement with an X-Box and a Chi poster, following the adventures of their Leftist heroes until the power goes out, Then they will run out of food and starve, assuming the radicals don’t haul them off to work first.
There is NO FREAKING WAY idiots that can’t tie their shoes, and piss themselves when they hear a bird hit a windmill are going to do SQUAT but cower when rough men stop standing ready and commit violence.
Except cry and die. Likely by the hand of their liberal heroes.

They have scrupulously avoided any sort of military training, work as a street cop or sheriffs deputy, work as a lumberjack, welder, metalworker, construction worker, farmer, etc.
99% of them would find themselves deeply unprepared for a shooting war.

They dont need to, they have been feeding street thugs for years.
The fact that leftist leadership like Ayers, still is around to forment ruin is a indictment of conservatives.
Most street thugs have about as much ammo as what came in the stolen gun. And they are greatly outnumbered.
When this really gets going, you really think that the heretofore sedentary and law abiding people are going to follow laws that no longer exist?
And the Military isn’t going to save them since as soon as this starts, they’ll be busy fending off the attacks from China, The mid east and likely Russia.
The cops are not going to risk blowback from PO’d Americans.
So unless the thugs can extrapolate the Kennedy magic bullet theory to ridiculous extremes, they are sitting ducks. And when cornered in their ghetto fortresses, they will starve and die when natural law takes control....cuz they ain’t getting out or resupplied.
The Leftist puppet masters could care less about the granolas. They will use the street thugs who will kill indiscriminately.

The street thugs will be re-supplied. The military and police will obey their paycheck writers. What? You think all the police and military turned in Germany, in Russia, in China?? Look at the history! Doesnt happen. Buracracies work for whoever is in charge. Doing whatever needs to be done.
Well, you have your view. We;ll see what happens.
Because if the Military turns on us, we should all just eat a gun.

I think that is the point, isnt it? To kill as many as possible who may oppose? We certainly are not objecting to the observation by drones and caameras allover the country. We are being observed like enemy combatants. And desensitized to it.
