I'll give up my pickup and my STI right after Barack, Babs Streisand and their ilk give up their jets/limos/gargantuan houses etc.
Hypofrickincrites.
Reminds me of Aunt Esther.

Brazil solved their energy problem by striking the big one. It can grow anything they want and turn it into ethanol and it's all gravy
I guess he wants everybody to have nothing but guns and religion to cling to. I got mine! ;^)
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
Maybe he will finally pull the trigger on the next American Revolution.
Yeah. It would really suck to give him the edge by waiting until he has armies at his disposal, but timing is everything.
No service man or woman would ever follow him
An interesting sentiment, but, service men and women follow orders. That was Hitler's edge.
We are a fractious, argumentative, unregimented, and sometimes violent people.
It has been 143 years since the end of the last revolution.
Well said. And when disaster strikes around the world, who are the first one to arrive with help? Yep, Americans.
...oh, have we missed the schudeled revolution?
I think were tossing apples and oranges.
Certainly, if provoked sufficiently, I trust we can show the world how a revolution ought to be done, but I think you sell servicemen short by attributing disobedience to them so offhandedly.
I figured you'd trip on the verbotten Hitler reference. But if you'd check under the surface even casually, you'll find the question "how could this have happened" isn't sufficiently answered by naming "Germany" as the cause, as if that explains everything. But you will find stories of people who were just doing what they were told to do, like soldiers do. It's not that they were told to annhialate all Jews at once. They were told to harass them. And then to corral them. And then too load them onto trains.
I think I can safely say that I've met sheriffs deputies who derive a great perverse thrill out of playing petty dictator over people without even being ordered to do it.
You fool yourself if you think it's not so.
Small town sheriffs with shiny sunglasses are more stereotype than fact.
Revolutions are not started by the poor; they are started by the thoroughly pissed off bourgeois.
This country's political class is pushing a lot of buttons on the ordinary citizen.
That's all I'm saying.
Many presumptions built into this willful dismissal of that which you wish not to believe.
Statistically, the documented abuses by the law enforcement personnel in the entire State of Florida are chilling. Abuses by judges and lawyers are harder to prove but clearly the system is corrupt from top to bottom. Fairness is the exception, not the rule, and "justice" simply can not be counted upon.
There is no excuse for burying one's head in the sand about such things, but too, it's unpleasant and impossible to fix by worrying and so most people won't think about it, until it happens to them.
And if it happens to a law abiding person half a dozen times in 20 years, then the system is plainly corrupt.
Now, I'm done here, because I can already anticipate sorts of responses you can speculate about that render the presentation of actual events supposedly meaningless, and I think time is too valuable for both of us to bother with that.
Fascim is alive and well in the Florida "criminal" "justice" system, and if you wish to ignore that it is a reality in this day and age, and believe that it can't or doesn't have a foothold where you live, that's your prerogative.
Regards.
Apart from the first two sentences, I cannot disagree with the that post.
