Is that photo from Boston? Is that dude in the armored vehicle pointing a gun?

They aren’t on duty 24 hours each and every day. If they are part of a confiscation team, they will make fine targets when they’re relaxing after a hard day of rounding up the citizen’s means of self defense.

That's a Humvee...not exactly an armored vehicle, though they do come in up-armored variants. It looks to me like he's got a video camera.

If I hear people are coming to take my woodstove, I’ll just light a fire in it. Let’s see if they have asbestos fingers.

Thanks. Can’t figure out why he’d be pointing either one - camera or gun.

Upon closer look, I think that is an up-armored Humvee. They didn't have those when I was still in boots.

Yes, the royal "they" can tell us what we can or cannot do with our homes and bodies, but dare we suggest an alternative to abortion, and no, no, no. We are fascists. Makes about as much sense as banning smoking in Colorado, but legalizing pot? Smoke is smoke, no?

Good link. I am a big fan of what Paul Wheaton, and Ernie & Erica are doing with Rocket Mass Heaters.

0% of rural Penna heats with wood, wood pellets or coal. This won’t go well around here.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed? said Dr. Ferris. We want them to be broken. Youd better get it straight that its not a bunch of boy scouts youre up against... Were after power and we mean it... Theres no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there arent 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. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? Whats there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now thats the system, Mr. Reardon, thats the game, and once you understand it, youll be much easier to deal with. (Atlas Shrugged 1957)

While Obama sits in the White House with the heat cranked up to 80 degrees.
You gotta remember he was born in Kenya. Those people cannot take the cold, ya know, cut the guy some slack. /sarc> B-P cough......
I never thought I would see such tyranny in this country.
Yeah, I know. If you came to me and told me 30 or 20 years ago that one day a Chicago agitator born in Kenya would ever be elected president, I'd laugh at you. Now I'm crying.... B-(

Pick a side, palmer. I have. Now you have to pick a side. Your picture postd to me is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Publications one of the enemedia. If you know how logging works, it means that they can associate my IP with that picture when the thread reloads and I reply (except the way I just replied). If you don't realize that, then you are just a little naive. That's ok though, nobody's perfect.
As for the war, you have to pick your battles. If/when I go down it won't be as a right wing gun nut (which I am) but as an innocent wood stove owner persecuted by the overweening state. Hopefully thousands more like me would be able to stop the slide into totalitarianism. But maybe I am naive too.

I do the opposite. When it gets bitter I turn on the propane, but that’s expensive so I only use it to take the bitter edge off.

Being as this is America, the home of the free, I
would suspect that rural folks are just going to
go on heating themselves however they can.

Have you ever heard of ‘boiling the frog slowly’? This is how it starts and it will ultimately end with a complete ban.
