And if you are seriously shilling for Palin-West in 2016 when Ted Cruz is ALREADY officially in the game, making Palin not only redundant were she to declare, but a guaranteed spoiler for the GOPe, then you possibly fool yourself, but most of us "paranoids" get where you're coming from.

Why do you assume eagerness on the part of people who "believe" that history repeats itself? That's like saying I'm eager to believe the math that says there's only eight bucks left in my checking account. Believe me, I'm not eager to believe everything I know, suspect, or anticipate.

Crim, you stink like yesterday's diapers.

oh yeah...I havent taken the time to change my sig....so what.

I mean what I say and I say what I mean.

If palin /west came out tomorrow it would blow cruz/? out of the water.

I’d vote for Palin or West in a heartbeat if they ran.

But then again...I’m a conservative.

I notice you tear on my sig...but dont address what I said.

And yes you are paranoid.

So my question is...why do you hate the troops?

Ebola, Ukraine, Walmart Closing ...

... versus slow conditioning to being used to overt military in our presence. Mister, you go down to a nice high-end part of Southern California right now, and see the very disturbing sight of fully-armed thug kids in Parks Patrol type uniforms, right there, "protecting" the environment. You call me "paranoid" for thinking that's pretty crazy?

Well, Jade Helm is more insidious. States should be the only authorities involved in exercises like these. To paraphrase another FReeper, it's a joint military exercise that provides practice for simultaneously operating all of the control levers of armed federal power over six and seven states, the whole nation. It's a "cooperative" involving state police and county sheriffs, and you better bet who's the boss in these games -- major military units and federal law enforcement agencies. When would that ever be necessary?

You compare spotting that for the danger it is, to infowar cat ladies who fret over ebola, Ukraine, and secret tunnels at Wal Mart?

Look, there's something very wrong with the concept of pistol-packing patrols "protecting" open park land from environmental damage, down at the waterfront, at the beach -- that's badly skewed.

As for the tunnel whatchamacallits at Wal Mart (?!?), well, I thought that was scandalous! =^/

Every time my nephew is home..I am “quartering troops” as he stays with me....should I sue the govt becuase I am being “conditioned” to quartering troops?

Nope...I should be thankful he still cares to stay with me.

In other words...you are barking up the wrong tree....

Fair enough, but your Palin 2016 tag gives you away, IMO.

I'll address 'em. Sure you've been listening to crap, just like I've been listening to crap like "We won't survive Clinton," "We won't survive Obama," "We're killing the planet," and that fat and eggs are bad for you, too. Big whoop.

What the hell does pyramid power and a guy who wrote about it (a lot of guys have) have to do with getting antsy at the sight of paramilitary maneuvers in the city, more and more often, and now a multi-state-wide exercise that coordinates federal power of force ... er, cooperation ... over all local law enforcement?

Are you really okay with seeing large convoys of very heavily armed urban combat vehicles going down the freeways? Are you really okay with seeing those white suburbans marked "Homeland Security" in your neck of the woods? That you may end up having to drive through a roadblock put up as one of these "exercises" -- seeing it in the context of currently observed Federal government overreach in so many areas of our lives, is in reality perfectly harmless, but for drama queens it's "slop for the hogs" like pyramid power and black helicopters?

If so, I am sorry to tell you, you are a stone fool.

CORRECTION to my post 89, not heavily armed vehicles, heavily armored vehicles. You only see the empty machine gun ports on the top -- the machineguns are somewhere else.

Government is, after all, a force, nothing more, nothing less. It is a dangerous servant and a fearful master, as Washington supposedly said. If he didn't say it, he should have.

that is scary. an for all the heat that is packed in the US, thank goodness, it may be good for counter strikes and hit and runs, but no match for the military hardware I woul assume.

“Your phonier than a friggin’ 7 dollar bill! {^)”

I wont pick on your spelling ...but no I’m not....I’m a certified pistol instructor and I carry whenever I leave my house...

I can walk right out of a crowd and take someone out....what can you do?

Hide on your basement?

Your notion that our own troops are going to come get you is an insult to our troops....

F you.

Why do you think Obama wanted another army just as well funded and trained as our current one dumbass?

Because he knows our current RED STATE military wont follow unlawful orders to quell Americans.

Here...read this and read it between the lines.

That is liberal hand wringing.....a worry that a conservative based military wont do a liberal president bidding should he take it outside of national defense.

Well, you’re either a phony or your drunk! I hope the latter, because tomorrow you’ll be sober. Hopefully.

It’s NEVER silly to question the motives of government, especially now.
