Check the internet for ammo, at last look several months ago, there were two suppliers (one in Florida, don’t remember the other east coast source). Granted, 1000 rounds of Belgian corrosive primers at about $200 may not be your thing, but I am sick and tired of paying $20-27 for a box of 20 at my local gun stores.

Your right. It is another form of intimidation, degradation and humililation via name-calling. The poster "theFIRMbss" is doing just that, by lumping those of us (the majority BTW), who love our country and oppose amnesty for illegal aliens with the likes of David Koresh and Timothy McVeigh. That is a common tactic of supporters of illegal alien amnesty, to call opponents of amnesty racists, nativists, zenophobes, fanatics, etc.
Yes, you are also right about Hitler and the Nazis using the same tactics. It was Joseph Goebbels, who served as Reich Propaganda Minister under Hitler, who masterminded this tactic, I believe
elPresidente Boosh and his followers are causing much of the anger we are feeling toward illegals, because they are calling us racists and bigots. Making statements like Chavez just made only fuel the fire and could not be further from the truth.
Couldn't have said it any better myself. Great Post!
I'll go through the gun magazines in the bathroom, lots of ammo in them.
Thanks
I'm so glad to know it's only Buchanan that's beating the Republicans like a pinata full of American dollars.
Maybe you haven't noticed nearly the entire base of Republicans have had it with this once great party and this president. Maybe you failed to notice what is happening right in our *own* backyards, that has totally escalated during a period of years the Republicans held power.
Just how much concern should Americans have about countries 7000 miles away, while they watch as America and their own towns become part of a third world, socialist country?
Thank you, sir. Or should I say, "muchas gracias, senor?" LOL! IF I even said that right. I suppose I should learn, because the way things are looking, I'm going to need to know it. ;o)
Part of this is the power of organized lobbies - Linda Chavez's voice typifying the sort of thing that resounds within the Beltway like received truth. Part of it is the desire of a politician to leave a "legacy" that is contrary to the political currents outside the Beltway. That is the final result of the seduction of power, the temptation to lead rather than represent and the resulting necessity to use prod and whip when the led don't like where they're going.
It is lock-and-load time? I don't think so (and in any case I won't be sharing a foxhole with Pat Buchanan however correct he is on this topic), but it certainly is time to start stashing ammunition when we hear this sort of stuff from Bush's side of the aisle and "We're going to take things away from you for the common good" from the other side of the aisle. When we see Bush and Kennedy and Clinton all smiling together at the podium we are forced to admit that the problem's a real one.
The Republican party will survive this to the degree to which its adherents manage to reject Bush as its titular leader. I'm sorry to say that because I have a genuine affection for the man, but he's a lost cause now, IMHO, and I'm tired of defending him while hoping otherwise. If the D.C. political echo chamber manages to bully conservative - not just Republican - Congressmembers into acceding to this the Dems will be laughing all the way to the White House. About all we can do at this point is to insist repeatedly that our own representatives know where we stand on the issue. Violence is a last, horrible resort and we should quite rightfully be reluctant to employ it unless forced to in self-defense. Inside the Beltway that's a laughable fantasy. Outside the Beltway it isn't.
What does the empirical evidence show?
Look at California. Was life there better under the gringos, or is it better now under the Latinos/Mexicans? And how does the future look?
California isn't going to remain a part of "America" (at least the America I grew up in) for long. Nor will the rest of Atzlan. When they've destroyed that part of our country, they'll come to destroy the rest of it.
Pat's essay hits another one out of the park. And as usual, he's right, again.

Way too late for that. This invasion is a violent invasion, and that violence has only escalated dramatically in the past decade. As a matter of fact, the numbers of dead and injured Americans number into the tens of thousands now.
A very astute observation. It is a "cultural cohesion" that holds, that binds, people together (usually people of a like ethnicity and culture). When that cohesion evaporates, so does the sense of nation, of culture.
But, tell me: the "tipping point" you describe - are we there yet? or even past that point?
I'm beginning to think that we have just passed such a "tipping point", perhaps irrevocably.
Whether we can ever "get back to where we belong" will hinge on the fate of "immigration reform" (makes me cringe just to think that).
Honestly, it doesn't look good.

“Just for the record, Pat is a POS.”
Is he wrong here?
“A tale of two invasions”
Outstanding.
I couldn't agree more.
I'm reminded of the leadership detachment in France in the 1770s, or Russia around 1916.
As we know, this level of detachment from the reality outside of the palace is not often followed by a happy time. Not for the rulers, or the ruled.
That comment was so VERY uncalled for.
BTTT!
