After we are done, we will use a lot of this:

Last weekend, Tea Parties throughout the country held Tax Day rallies to protest bloated government budgets, ever increasing debt, and the ballooning entitlement state. Some among the Left were not content to let the Tea Party own Tax Day.
In Arkansas, an anti-Tea Party rally dubbed "Make Them Pay" took place on the steps of the state capitol. Jim Lendall, a former state representative and 2010 Green Party Gubernatorial nominee, was applauded when he took the podium to call for the beheading of businessmen and conservatives.
The French, inspired by our American Revolution, knew how to deal with the wealthy arrogant aristocrats. The French people built guillotines. Maybe we can park a guillotine in front of every chamber of commerce, corporate headquarters, bank, investment house, and Republican Party headquarters to remind them that democracy is about people, not profits. We need to tell them in one clear voice, ‘No more greed.’The video was picked up by Breitbart. Check it out. Note the amused approving smirks, the aloof comfort, and the eagerly offered applause.
The easy point to make, which Americans for Prosperity Arkansas does, is that Lendall's call to violence higlights a double-standard. What if a similar comment were made at a Tea Party rally? There's no doubt it would be a top story for days.
However, there's a more instructive point to take away. Unlike Sarah Palin's depiction of gun sights on a campaign map, this is not a political metaphor. Lendall references the French Revolution as a template for how the Left should proceed. At the very least, he suggests that the threat of violence is a legitimate political tactic...

Yes, they'll bring a Guillotine to an AR-15 fight. Bring it on.
Should a civil war erupt, Conservatives will have discovered an amazing new source of BIOFUEL!
This is simply sick. Let's start calling that hospital and tell them to fire this mental case... Force his ouster so he has something real to gripe about!
Lendall references the French Revolution as a template for how the Left should proceed.
Oh yeah, that worked out really well for the French. It gave rise to Napoleon and a whole new host of Aristocrats - if you were related to him that is. Everyone else was on their own, like being disappeared right into his La Grande Armée. (pardon my French) /s
Can I play too?
I have a Mauser M48A,and a Makarov.
That's all the M's I have - for now. Until I get that Mossberg 500 anyway.
Oh. Does a Colt & Remington count for your Bingo Game? ;-)
Verbal Judo is a court / legal thang more than a defense against someone who is intent in doing you harm. Best use of it was for police....
In a time described by this thread....I don’t see the use of such so much. Even by PD.
Beans an bread along with fuel will be the new cartel products....
The threat of arson will be higher against business an government.
Keeping what ya have an staying safe will be the new hobby for the next 15 years IMO ....
All just opinion of course....
Maybe some of the colonies were nicer about it, but here in central and western NC they were routed. Those who didn’t flee were killed. Their property was seized and auctioned to pay war expenses.
Yes that happened to my ancestors in Herkimer County NY and the Susquehanna River Valley in PA
One family member was burnt to death when the rebels fired the house and a teenage girl died in prison...
another ancestor was a POW and was killed escaping from the prison..
Even an old grandmother and young children were imprisoned...
Both families had their lands confiscated and had to flee north to Canada
The women and children spent the next few years in Sorel the refugee camp near Montreal..
They never got their property or land back...
A son from one family married a daughter from another..
My 4th great grandparents..

Legends of people crowded into a building, a schoolhouse or a farmhouse, and being burned to death by opposing forces obviously stick in memory and have grown over the centuries. These things did occur, just not so widespread, and they occurred at the hands of Loyalists and British soldiers as frequently as not.
In this neck of the woods, it was more retaliatory on the part of Patriots or “rebels” as you term them, which is very interesting to me as a southerner. We had Banastre Tarleton to contend with, Bloody Ban. There are those apologists who have attempted to rehabilitate Tarleton’s repute but I have copies of ancestors’ records, pension applications and contemporary accounts, that describe in detail the deliberate, terrorizing tactics employed by that man. “Tarleton’s Quarter” was no fabricated legend.
The “Tory routing parties” were provoked into existence by the excesses of British and Loyalists/Tories. The fighting was exacerbated, here at least, by other indicators of allegiance such as familial ancestry and religion.
I’m descended from nothing but old Tory fighters and indian fighters before that, unless you’re talking about indian ancestors themselves, who chose the wrong side again. They had that knack. They were Tory, two of them. Hid out in the mountains and rode it out. The Scotch-Irish and the Cherokee did discover an affinity for one another, once they stopped killing each other.
If someone comes running at you brandishing an ax, shoot him.

Mine were not that far south...
and they were 4th generation French Huguenot descendants and descendants of Palatine Germans
They fought to get their lands back at first..
They may have been at Cherry Valley though...
One family was in the Indian Dept of Butlers Rangers...
Butlers Rangers and their recruited Indians participated at Cherry Valley but I havent found my ancestors names in any of the militia lists
There were 800-1,000 members of Butlers rangers so they may have been elsewhere
I would hope they were not at the massacre there..
Bingo!
And leftists see the Reign of Terror as a wonderful thing apparently
#39 is right on the money
I think the next 10 years could be much worse than those days
Yep, if we let the Communists run wild.
