Be Ever Vigilant!
Nothing here http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin#External_links and I'm sure that this is not an authoritative site.
The government creates a problem (the WOD) and then thier solution to the violence that results is take away our freedoms.
Did the Brady Bunch get a new press secretary? They seem to be sticking their putrid, lying heads out in the open more and more lately.
You said it, not me. Based on prior experience with you it is not a limited occurance. Carelessness with facts is a liberal trait. We have to be better than that. Others (like Travis McGee) noticed the unsubstantiated quote as well so this is not matter of personalities (and ours certainly don't go together well). I had hoped that by focusing on facts and not on namecalling you would get the hint. My bad.
I will make the same comment to you that I made to Elbucko (in the interests of fairness). Care to prove that quote is from Ben Franklin? Bet you can't. I wish you could, but I really doubt it.
'Yes, and it's about time! GO BRADY FOLKS! We support you 100 percent. It's getting pretty dangerous out there for us folks that ply our trades in the streets and alleys these days,' clamored an upset pickocket.
Another purse-snatcher-rapist clamored, 'Hell no! We won't work unless something is done to make the streets safe for us again.'
A ten-times convicted child molester sitting in the bushes in a park clamored, 'These are hard times. I'm even afraid to even look at a kid anymore. Guns got to go! Even those stun guns make me nervous.'
Twice-convicted convenience store robber clamored, 'How do you expect us to make a decent living if we can't even go into a 7-11 Store, even for a cup of coffee and not be intimidated by the clerks brandishing hoglegs on their hips?'
Clamor reporter, I.M. Shakey of the VPC clamored that his phone rang for two days straight when the House dumped the 50-Caliber ban bill. 'That was outrageous,' he clamored. After all the lies we told to get it passed . . . and all those dummied-up, in-house polls we used; and all that money we paid and stuff. It's criminal,' he clamored further.
"Get rid of the gangs, problem solved."
Keep dreaming...that means you'd actually have to go after illegals.
hey, Sarah what kills more people guns or smoking?
No. Post #12 said it, I agreed and repeated it at my post #18. Why did you not challenge the poster at #12 for reference instead of me? Regardless of the provenance of the quote, its logic substantiates its validity nonetheless.
Based on prior experience with you it is not a limited occurrence.
Ah! That's what I thought, you got a ping. Otherwise you would have queried post #12 instead of me . This is not about the validity of the quote, but about personalities and some of my opinions that differ with the orthodoxy. I refuse to sing the Bang List Song, word for word and that's what this is all about, isn't it?.
Carelessness with facts is a liberal trait.
Yes it is. And with you, as well. Had fact been your real concern, you would have asked post #12 for his reference to the Franklin quote instead of me. You are bad. And quite transparent.
Covering your bases after the fact, I see. A bit too let to not appear duplicitous.
Correction: "A bit too late to not appear duplicitous"
Clamor: One who digs for clams.
I join the others in questioning your quote.
It is not in my small book Ben Franklin's Wit and Wisdom , and is not even close to his manner of speech in the book.
A huge electro-magnet will be placed above the geographical center of the Continental United States. One day, the switch is thrown, and ALL of America's handguns are collected for proper disposal. Until this magnet is constructed, no effort at gun control should be attempted. There are some concerns over replacement hips, tricycles, and other magnetic objects.
Look Bucko, you made a small error and got nailed. Happens around here occasionally. Grow up and get over it.
