That would be the third.
Soon the governments at all levels may find themselves without the means to keep up with all of this totalitarian bullsh!!.
Quix, I wasn’t blathering at all. I merely answered his question, and correctly at that. I don’t think your comment was directed at me, but if it was, I am certainly curious as to why. Peace.
Death threats are part of the job for any American president, but Barack Obama has reportedly had more levelled against him than any commander-in-chief in history.
A new book, "In The President's Secret Service," says Obama receives as many as 30 death threats a day, 400 per cent more than those made against his predecessor, George W. Bush.
Its author, Ronald Kessler, has sent shockwaves through Washington with his allegations that the cash-strapped Secret Service is cutting corners, leaving the first African-American president in U.S. history particularly vulnerable.
"There's no question his life is in danger," Kessler, a veteran investigative journalist, said in a recent television interview. "Tomorrow, Obama could be assassinated ... simply because the Secret Service was not doing what it used to do."
He's a victim, yo!
Just "coincidently", I saw a report of Fox yesterday citing that old fraud Morris Dees about how the Health Scare is causing all us crazy right-wingers to go out and join "anti-gubmint" militias.
Which is a little silly, since those "militias" sprang up in the '90s, in response to the Dem's claims that you had to be part of a militia to have the right to keep and bear arms. Since the "Heller" decision, this myth has pretty much been put to rest.
But it feels very much like the tactics that they used pre-Waco.
Perhaps the next step is for Obama's evil minions to send a Bradley Fighting Vehicle to "protect" the town hall meetings from all us old, mostly white angry people...
Duh.........so I guess the brandishing of weapons by the black panther idiots served them so well over the years?? I don't think so.....the right to bear arms is an important right and one which best serves mature and responsible citizens not some posturing egomaniacs.
I assume you have a concealed carry permit. If so, why the need to “brandish” it.....what is your point?
brandish - exhibit aggressively; display, exhibit, expose - to show, make visible or apparent
If the government doesn't want to see my defensive sidearm, then they shouldn't make me beg them for permission and pay them a fee in order to legally conceal it.
In case it isn't clear, the act of peaceably and lawfully carrying a sidearm in a holster is not, by any stretch of even the fevered leftist imagination of Chrissy Matthews, "brandishing."

This is what happened to the black panthers and rightly so.
The majority of our adversaries on the far left understand this. Did you ever see Saul Alinsky, Noam Chomsky or Gus Hall going about openly armed? This is because they understand that they must, at least up to a point, appeal to the "masses" and to appear threatening will allow their opponents to marginalize them.
Exercise your right to own weapons, practice, train etc., but don't think you're helping the cause by going to a town hall meeting or whatever carrying a gun on your hip.
Not quite true - if you have a concealed carry permit you can not carry at polling place, but nothing in the law to prevent you from carrying at a public political meeting!
I stand corrected. Thank you for the information.
