The U.K. does not have a Second Amendment. I suspect the first couple of truckloads of bullet-riddled rioters will dampen their enthusiasm.

in fact if you care to post your home address here, I’m sure more than a few of us would be happy to come over and toss a brick through your window.

Without a major u-turn in the character of the people of the world, 2012 will be a straight shot to hell.

I’ve seen various comments about “youths acting like bankers.”

Society was not broken in 1980 when Reagan picked up the mantel.

He was merely a mirror of the true core of America that Jimmy Carter had painted over in an ugly pink.

Now we’re reaping what we’ve let the left sow for too long.

Any political leader that wins in 2012 will, like 2008 I’m afraid, very closely reflect the core of society.

I hope my calculations are wrong....


I believe they are correct.

Might be to late even with a U turn.

Was probably to late before most of us were born.

I see it as a lot of people demanding their governments get out of the way of day to day living.

FWIW. The US is the only country where a grass-roots movement has arisen demanding less government. It has to date been utterly non-violent, even polite.

In every other case of which I'm aware, the opponents of government actions are demanding continued or even expanded government benefits, quite regardless of how they will be paid for. They just don't care about that.

A less libertarian movement is difficult to imagine.

“YSATI” would have been an acceptable addition to your response to him.

Bullsh*t. It’s the wrong people uprising. They’re not uprising in protest of too much government, it’s in protest of Western Civilization and the cutback of government benefits.

The exact wrong people are uprising. What’s left of the “real” British are sitting idly by pissing in their tea.

Hopefully this will wake them up.

I have no sympathy for the English. This is a problem of their own making. They have castrated their society and allowed PC to run amok. This is what we are to witness next right here in America.

Napoleon had an excellent method for riot control. Put cannons pointing down city streets, loaded with grape. The original “streetsweeper”.

Wow, they think they can “win respect” by burning down a children’s hospital? Wow, pure evil. Time for the police to “win some respect”.

Not seeing the connect.

Neither am I Laz. Something else is probably afoot.
