“Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush,”

Krugman backed John Edwards.

What will it take for us (or at least me) retired gimpers to start rioting in the streets to take back our country?

Right now it will take:

retired gimpers stop voting for Democrats

Universities loose enough money that they stop hiring liberals as teachers

letter to the times...

Dear Paul,

First, let me say that you deserve kudos for writing what you feel. That is the only thing I will or can say that is positive.

To suggest that 9.11 had quickly became a shame because of what you term faux heroes in the name of Messrs. Kerick, Giulianni, and Bush is not even an interesting re-do of your animus toward people who do not think like you do—thinking being a task normally achieved by human beings able to process information—a task that has apparently become a strain by your office.

These men have never made the claim that somehow they were heroes. They were and are mere mortals who happened to be in positions that required response and action as leaders. Oh, much to your chagrin, were they destined perhaps to be in place at the time of the evil horror. I want to mention, since you didn’t, that the evil horror was brought to New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania by what most in the country (that would be the most too who do not buy the Times) call radical Muslims born out of radical Islam, taught by wretched evil mullahs.

Spell “the” with an “h,” please. One should re-read even though you have spell-check. Perhaps you added “te,” to your dictionary. I don’t know why but it is not surprising based on much of what you have been saying and writing lately. It is a sad thing when one slips into some form of mental disability. I am sorry you have for it is sad to see such a potential become such a withered thing.

A relative of mine wrote the book, “Conscience of a Liberal,” and I do not see the title as being accurate for this screed. Although historical now, the book remains a reference for many to absorb and appreciate for the economic and agricultural period that began in the thirties. Mr. Packer would not appreciate your use of the term conscience or liberal because you are proving that the liberal mind of this day is not like it once was—not like it once could contribute, not like it once strived to be an honest voice—and not so shallow to call people faux heroes who happened to be on scene. Whether or not there is an active conscience in those who call themselves liberal is for others to determine on their own. I have my own point of view on this.

If part of this blog was unwritten but would have included your negative reactions to the United States going to war, what response other than war could have been appropriate? Do we wait for another attack? What response does evil deserve in your view? Do you think rebuke by voice is enough? How about a strong letter? Really—? There are times, Paul. There are times.

In a way Krugman did the us all a favor

He took off the fake veneer of phoney liberalism and revealed the ugly anti American true face of liberalism they hide so well from the general public Krugman will rue the day he wrote this vile filth

“...What will it take for us (or at least me) retired gimpers to start rioting in the streets to take back our country?...”

I guess that’s an answer only you can provide, brother. What is the line in the sand for you personally, I suppose, is the question. Do you have
a war left in you? Because that’s what it will be.

For me, it’s the firearms issue. They come for those, and well, I’ll just leave it to the imagination without saying anything else. That’s the last straw. At that
point, they want your ass totally broken, totally helpless, and completely powerless. Hell, if they thought they could get away with it without
being seriously bloodied and damaged beyond repair, they’d have already gone for broke. Hence “Project Gunwalker” (Fast & Furious) and
their cowardly, treasonous attempt at subversion of our Constitional and God given rights through a generated false-flag Reichstag crisis.

Has anyone stood up and taken to the streets on this issue yet? Crickets.....wind..... If EVER there was a reason, there it is, right now. We can hardly
get “our” side in Congress to go after this criminal admin, because they’re afraid of a stupid word - “Racist!!!!” (ooh....evil!) in spite of the multitude
of criminal actions and outrages this admin has already inflicted on us.

So many lines have already been crossed, and we, being the TRUE picture of tolerant, patient, good citizens, are disinclined to “riot in the streets” - why?
Because we’re basically good, decent, hardworking, productive folk who actually still believe in the system.

And as a result of that, we have backed up, repeatedly, over and over again. Because WE are the Good Guys.

To my mind, the time for that methodology is over; it’s the recipe for defeat, and the reason we are where we are right now. They will keep pushing us as long
and as far as we keep backing up - it’s their way. The definition of “peace” to Marxists is “the absence of opposition to our goals”.
They don’t understand the meaning of “live and let live”, nor do they even care to try to understand it - it’s not even in their lexicon, except for those on
their side and with their sick mentality and skewed view of society.

IOW, they are in a perpetual state of WAR with all who disagree with them.

Our side, on the other hand, does not see it as war; we are for the most part simple folk who still believe in letting the other guy have his say, believing in
“playing fair” and “by the rules” politically. Mudslinging is distasteful, it seems, just too “confrontational”, and we rarely even stand up for OUR side when the
liberal socialist scum trash them in public; witness the pitiful reactions of some of “our” side when Sarah Palin was being verbally raped daily by the media.
Where were OUR warriors coming to her aid, castigating the Dem sycophant mediots and their talking points?

In a different day and age, a BETTER day and age, had a woman been publically and daily subjected to the vicious hate-filled slime that those on the
Left have inflicted on her, teeth would have been knocked out by MEN jumping to her defense. Now? Geez, even her war hero “Maverick” running mate let her
be publically savaged during the campaign, and then viciously TURNED ON HIS OWN SIDE for bringing up any dirt on the opposition.

The key thing to realize is - there ARE no rules in this battle, except the ones we impose on ourselves. The other side sure as hell isn’t playing
by any rules - except one - Win At All Costs. And they’ve been ruthlessly efficient at it for several decades, while we keep stepping back,
electing spineless compromisers and “moderates” who push THEIR ball forward, even if its only a few inches; THEIR agenda still moves forward.

So to answer your question, I don’t know what it will take for those of us who still consider ourselves AMERICANS and not nebulous “citizens of the world”
or socialists to stand up and get in their faces and finally throw their asses onto the trash heap of history. I only know where my personal line in the sand is.
I suspect that it is the same line for many, many others - one has only to peruse any number of threads out here on FR to see a corroboration of that.

It’s a question that each one of us must answer for ourselves; “what am I personally willing to do, to sacrifice, to bleed for, to do to regain what these subversive
scumbags have stolen from us?” And where is the breaking point when enough is enough?

Again, only you can answer that for yourself.

” For me, it’s the firearms issue. They come for those, and well, I’ll just leave it to the imagination without saying anything else.”

Come for 100,000,000 guns?

And 500,000,000 rounds of ammo?

They know better. The private sector has been collecting guns for 100 years or more, and most (like me) know how to use them.

“...Come for 100,000,000 guns?...”

Like I said, bro... if they remotely thought they could get away with it openly and brazenly without serious damage, they’d have done it already.

To my mind, they’re just f***ing insane; liberalism is a mental disease. They may be insane, but they aren’t stupid.
