The question I have is this: if, in a couple of years, our capitalist economy is recovering and we still have our guns, are you or any of the people who said things like this going to feel at all stupid about having said them?

That's a big "if", isn't it?

If our capitalist economy is recovering due to the efforts of a socialist, I'll sure be surprised.

As far as the gun issue, we'll probably have a renewed AWB in less than a year. I'm sure we'll also have some "reasonable restrictions" on other guns as well as ammunition.

You sure sound like an Obama supporter. Are you one?

And if we refuse to go along with providing the funding for the NeoMarxist regime? If we decide to just say screw it and engage in a massive work and production slowdown for the next several years? What then? What will you do?

Forced labor camps? Why yes indeed. The Obama - Ayers Doctrine already calls for it. A bloody mess you Democrats put this nation in. Its all over your blogs. You have been engaging in work slowdowns for years, and it worked in crashing the economy. Now, what if we choose to return the favor at this critical juncture?

What, you want us to help you build what you tore down so you can turn around and take credit for it?

Don't work like that.

It is a big if, but the point is that it's an if. Painting ourselves into a corner, rhetorically by insisting that it is a foregone conclusion is going to interfere with running a fact-based campaign in 2012.

That's a possibility. It's a far cry from Obama taking guns away from anyone.

I've said many times that I supported Barr. That said, I am a patriot and Obama is going to be President. I want Obama to succeed in turning this country in a better direction and I have no choice but to give him the chance to do that in his own way. I could also choose to sink into rage and bitterness. I could choose to rant on about how evil Obama is and how he's a secret Muslim or other such silliness. I could choose to urge my representatives in Washington to block everything he does, or I could urge the to use whatever influence they have to exert some conservative common sense on proposals that are likely to turn into policy under the majority-Democratic regime.

If that makes me sound like an Obama supporter, so be it.

I also don't buy a lot of the mythology that permeates the right wing "blog-o-sphere." Invading Iraq was unnecessary and has proven to be a historically bad idea. I don't feel any obligation to defend it to supposedly redeem conservatism — it has nothing to do with conservatism. Being a conservative is not like being a sports fan. You cheer for your team whether they play poorly or not. I don't have a team, I have a philosophy. Right now, promoting that philosophy will require working with the Democrats.

That's just a fact.
