The Harry Reid campaign has released a campaign ad attacking Sharon Angle as "crazy" for warning that "If this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking towards those Second Amendment remedies."
The spokesman is Bill Ames, president of the Peace Officers Research Association of Nevada and a self-described "member of the NRA and a Republican." Says Ames:
What she's actually talking about is armed resistance....That kind of talk is dangerous and way too extreme.
Let's watch the ad:

Hey Harry, YOU LOSE!
And yet he keeps digging.
Harry should only worry about such things if he and his lib tribe wins.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”.
I am with Sharon. Remember tyrants 1789.
LOL
Who is Bill Ames and what is the Peace Officers Research Association of Nevada?
I’m guessing he’s a laid off blackjack dealer who started this outfit in his garage.
Last I heard, Harry is numero uno in the eyes of the NRA....
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Don’t Tread On Me.
Don’t Tread On Me.
Harry Reid attacks the Declaration of Independence! His anti-American hate speech is over the top.
Tyrants disapprove of rebellion and freedom.
American tradition and the perspective of history side with Sharon Angle!
Quotes from a few more “Radicals”.
“You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.”
— Charles A. Beard
“The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.”
— Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minnesota)
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress.”
— Frederick Douglas
“A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace.”
— James Madison, The Federalist Papers (No. 46).
“Four out of five politicians surveyed prefer unarmed, ignorant peasants.”
— Unknown
The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state controlled police and the military are the weapons of dictatorship.
The rifle is the weapon of democracy.
Not for nothing was the revolver called an “equalizer.”
Egalite implies liberte. And always will.
Let us hope our weapons are never needed—but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny... If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government—and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. - Edward Abbey, The Right to Bear Arms, 1979.
Both the oligarch and Tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms. - Aristotle.
An armed society is a free society. - Howie Carr, Boston Herald columnist.
The Bill of Rights is a born rebel.
It reeks with sedition.
In every clause it shakes its fist in the face of constituted authority... it is the one guarantee of human freedom to the American People. - Frank I. Cobb, La Follett’s Magazine, January 1920.
While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny. - Rev. Nicholas Collin, Fayetteville Gazette (N.C.), October 12, 1789
As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. - Tench Coxe, Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution, under the Pseudonym “A Pennsylvanian” in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789.
Those are great!
Here’s one of my favorites:
Get a shot off fast. This upsets him long enough to let you make your second shot perfect.
— Lazarus Long
Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.
I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.
--Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams, 1776
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
— Daniel Webster
“It is not the function of Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error.”
—Robert Houghwout Jackson (1892-1954), Associate Justice, US Supreme Court
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
—Atlas Shrugged
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. ...”
William Pitt
“Our own Country’s Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions -
The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny mediated against them.
Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”
—George Washington, General Orders, 1776
Sharon Angle is right, and right on the mark.
The clown that was in that commerical isn’t a republican. A republican wouldn’t be making ads for harry reid.
The guy is a lying idiot. He needs to stay away from the republican party.
That shotgun would serve a much more useful purpose if it were filling the idiot’s gaping pie hole.
