Yup. I hope the Democrats are reading this VERY clear signal from the American people that they will be pushed only so far, and no farther, and that the tipping point is VERY, VERY close.

They are too arrogant to understand the signal, no matter how clear it is. As much as they even notice, they attribute it to a "small group" of right wing nut cases. That small group has bought enough firearms to outfit the largest armies in the world, just in the past 7 months or so. Just the numbers over the year earlier numbers are enough to outfit the Indian and US ground armies. (The Chinese and Indian armies are the worlds largest, we didn't quite buy enough extra to outfit the Chinese, but the total we bought was more than enough, but we do that every year.) A rifle behind every blade of grass is the way Yamamoto is said to have put it. Well, we have a lot more rifles now, but no more grass.

Since grass blades are kinda thin on the ground where I live, I'm scouting for a good cactus for my rifle(s) to be behind. Preferably one growing on a nice big rock. Sort of like the one I saw along the Battle Road between Lexington and Concord, only limestone instead of granite like I think that one is.

" A rifle behind every blade of grass is the way Yamamoto is said to have put it."

I read that a general talking to Stalin about the occupation of America was interrupted by Stalin, who said that, "you don't occupy a country that has 200 million snipers".

And you can bet that Russia and China have noticed and adjusted plans accordingly.
