So if you lose your fear of speaking the truth, and not be fearful of those truths, Calling you a racist means what exactly???

Thats when we start winning...

And for all intents and purposes, winning is really not the objective here is it???

Show of hands...

Who here is afraid to speak the truth in front of those you know will attack you for speaking it, call you a name, something (we would know) that you are not???

Who here is NOT afraid of speaking the truth???

It was truly a liberating moment, the first time I said "I honestly and sincerely don't give a crap what you think of me." I remember it vividly. And I can always make new friends.

The main reason for many people’s surprise is that the mainstream media have usually suppressed news about the “knockout game” or about other and larger forms of similar orchestrated racial violence in dozens of cities in every region of the country...

Funny, I don’t hear about this activity being conducted in many states where people carry firearms for lawful self-defensive purposes...

Not that you may have time to use it to defend yourself, but at least those who are in tune and keep their heads on a swivle, stay alert to their surroundings...

All of which is becoming a prudent and necessary task to perform with very little error in today’s society...

You never know what is in the heart of anotherr person till it is too late...

Therefore, consider every single person a threat till proven otherwise, you are not required as an individual to consider someone innocent until proven guilty in this case(s)...

What a shame we have to live our lives like this...

Maybe it’s just me but over time, my carry weapon has kept getting smaller. Started with a steyr 9mm next went to a Star .40 (6 shot) then a Taurus 2in barrel titanium .357 and currently a .380 Colt Mustang. Friend of mine went even smaller to a .22 mini revolver of some kind. I’ve been lucky not to have needed any of them, but the friend got into a shoot out with some of 0bama’s sons who were trying to rob him. They missed he missed (he thinks) And he went looking for something slightly larger. Not sure if he ever found it. He moved to ND and I kind of lost touch.

Unfortunately, by the time for re-election (or not) comes, the muggings will be the norm and the low information voter will have forgoten that the results of (last) election were the cause of the problem. They will vote the pol with the open purse right back in,

You can never be too cynical when it comes to stupid voters and greedy politicians.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Heading said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

...

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

If you look like RipSawyer you are apparently SUPPOSED to be hated, there is no crime involved according to the liberals.

Obama and Pelosi would have done a bang up job

Don't be naïve.

Obama's motto would come into play, "if it isn't broke fix it until it is".

Amen...Maybe it’s just me but the incident in Lansing, Michigan a couple days ago where the hitter was shot twice by the victim woke up some of the media.

If this starts happening more often it may slow the thugs down.

Here’s the FR thread link in case you missed it.

No one’s been able to fight back because no one’s been aware of this kind of thing happening... Nice to see that’s changing. Thanks for the link.
