Oh, the thugs won’t start until Obama orders seizure of all citizens’ firearms . . gradually . . and then we shall see what we shall see IF Obama is elected.

"Oh, the thugs won’t start until Obama orders seizure of all citizens’ firearms . . gradually . . and then we shall see what we shall see IF Obama is elected."

I don't believe it will be gradual. If he's to get anywhere with his agenda, disarming the peasants must come first. It will be swift, violent, and shocking. That what his national civilian security corps will be for. He knows the police, national guard, and our nation's military would not enforce his orders trampling the constitution. His brown shirt legions, however, would. Does the term "crystal nacht" mean anything to anybody out there? Fearless prediction: acting in the guise of unruly mobs, their first move will be to attack and destroy gun shops, sporting goods store, small arms manufactures, ammunition production facilities, and the homes of anyone holding an FFL.

The correct term in German is "Kristallnacht" and here's a brief description for those unfamiliar with history:

On the nights of November 9 and 10, 1938 rampaging mobs throughout Germany and the newly acquired territories of Austria and Sudetenland freely attacked Jews in the street, in their homes and at their places of work and worship. At least 96 Jews were killed and hundreds more injured, more than 1,000 synagogues were burned (and possibly as many as 2,000), almost 7,500 Jewish businesses were destroyed, cemeteries and schools were vandalized, and 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

The official German position on these events, which were clearly orchestrated by Goebbels, was that they were spontaneous outbursts. The Fuehrer, Goebbels reported to Party officials in Munich, "has decided that such demonstrations are not to be prepared or organized by the party, but so far as they originate spontaneously, they are not to be discouraged either."

I read this.

The local police wouldn’t take his land, they want him to grown food, so Mugabe had to send tugs from Harare to do it.

Romsey has the only productive fields for miles around in the once-fertile Makonde South district...

Chief Nemakonde... sent men to torch a field of winter wheat stalks. meaning there will be no hay for cattle.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It’s awful.

I know people who have fled and are in the U.S. legally. I met one of their relatives who is here on a visit and who will be returning soon.

Her husband died and after the sale of her home, she had money in the bank to live out her life. Now with inflation, her savings won’t buy a loaf of bread.

But she smiles, talks of her children there - bright, educated but trapped.

I asked how she could smile and she asked what else could she do?

[george76]

The kids should get out before they are killed.

Forget the cheese, get out of the trap.

"Let them starve."

Nah, that would be racist...and anyway, George Bush has already sent $48 billion of your tax dollars to Africa.

"Remember the Rodney King LA riots and how some people took to their roofs with guns? Shut things down quickly."

Those were the Koreans...Imagine that, of the 62 killed during the riots, none were Korean.

Given a chance Obama will do the same to America. By making coal burning for electricity too expensive and other dumb and evil acts

Even with mass starvation in Zimbabwe Mugabe destroys farmers who are proven successes. Obama will destroy Americans and businesses that are proven successes and transfer their wealth to the lazy bums and idiots

Thanks george76.
