I’m going to buy me a nice 9mm and a good rifle. Apparently our Constitution died today and I get the feeling the jackbooted acolytes of the Messiah are coming for us.
If anything, it is pitchfork time.
Dear Representative Shimkus, I am writing to express my disappointment with your Yes vote on HR 1586. While I typically appreciate your fairly conservative voting record, I feel that this bill, while appealing to populist sentiment, is clearly an unconstitional bill of attainder. While I'm opposed to the entire government bailout concept, I'm troubled by this blatant targeting of specific classes of people, especially if there were previous employment contracts that governed these bonuses. I'm much more fearful of an out of control Federal government, which the current Administration unfortunately seems to champion, than I am of any alledged private sector abuses. Thank you for your time and attention to this correspondence
You may be right. Never a bad idea to have weapons for personal protection anyway. Better safe than sorry — even if somehow we avoid what I think is coming.
