We know our rights, we will not be cowed into submission, and are willing to fight and die for those rights if necessary...and we are armed.

It is getting closer!

We are fast approaching the brink.... 0bozo & his goons will try to stifle & suppress our freedom & our rights & want to subjucate us in a socialist-fascist tyranny. I pray that patriots & Americans for freedom will rise up and fight to regain & restore our nation to our former greatness.

Here is a screen cap from the video at MyFoxTampaBay. This guy was right up front and his tee-shirt caught my eye. "Union Tough", it reads.

Now, I know it is just an old union slogan, but this guy chose to wear this particular shirt, on this particular night, for a particular reason.

He wanted (or maybe his Union boss wanted) to intimidate people into sitting down and shutting up. Unless, of course, they agreed with the party /union line.

“....and we are armed.”

I would delete that if I were you. These goon bastards working for ostammer will have the BATF at your door if they possibly can.

“’...as soon as the new American Idol season is back, they’ll forget what they are angry about.’”

What an insult! As if Freepers watch that drivel... I can understand a Dem relating to it, though.

Did anyone bring a video camera? Bring cameras everywhere, Freepers!

That’s what is effective, without it, this is quickly covered in lies, distortions, and obfuscation. ;~}

Do what ACORN did. Have a protest outside Castor’s home and her office and do it daily. We can’t fight them if we don’t fight as hard as they do. DO what ACORN did when they protested outside the homes of the CEO getting AIG bonuses. Take the damn gloves off or be ready to be defeated.

I will not delete it. It is a simple staement of fact and one that is enumerated in the Constitution. No crime there and I refuse to be intimidated by them into not claiming or proclaiming my rights.

Pick your fights better. Being forced to incur legal fees and possibly a criminal record for no purpose whatsoever other than making your stand on an internet forum is just plain stupid.

Carrying out your rights is one thing, and something I agree with doing if and when the time is ever right. But bringing unnecessary trouble to yourself in a way that doesn’t advance the ball down the court one inch is just dumb.

Go look at the thread about the ‘live free or die’ poster who got a visit from the SS because of a vindictive Marxist ostammer supporter poster on a newspaper comment board.

Bustin...I've been around here, and out at various locations where illegal and tyranical government activity was occuring a long timedoing what I do.

You fight it and stand up your way...and God bless you and support you in it.

I'll do it my way, as I have been doing...with no apologies.

So, please don't try and tell me when and where to pick my fights and pass judgement on whether it ineeds to be "better" or not.

You get to know me, you stand with me in the breach, and you can earn that right...at least in so far as I will immediately take it to heart because it is you saying it.

We did fine at Klamath Falls, at Jarbidge, at the New York City Fire Fighters Memorial, etc., etc. Go to my site and read about those a bit.

I respect your right to choose your fights...I'll choose mine. I think we're on the same team, so I'll cut you some slack in that regard...and if we are, we'll bring things forward together in our respective involvement.

THE STAND AT KLAMATH FALLS

THE 50 MILLION ROUND MARCH

DISPLAY THE WTC GROUND ZERO FLAG RAISING AS IT REALLY HAPPENED (400,000+ signatures)

THese videos leave now doubt this was a well orchestrated astroturf event put on by Castor’s office, the local unions, a few Democrat special interest groups and the local mass media corporations’ newsrooms.

I don't know that anyone has already done this, and I think it's fairly important that it be done; so I tried. And I think documentation of the attack and identification of the attackers needs to be spread far and wide. I am posting this information on several related Tampa, FL threads.

Obama and his violent Chicago Mobster tactics need to be brought out into the light of day; and these acts of violence - at Obama's direction - need to be roundly condemned by every freedom loving American in the country, regardless of party affiliation.

What follows are screen capture images from You Tube videos which I have added captions to, marking goons, victims, and cop:
