I can't find a single full text source for Kissinger's alleged statements at Evian, France, and that lack of other quotes from the same meeting is curious, as is the lack of a full transcript. Can you please find the FULL text of that address and link it here? Quotes don't mean a darn thing when they're taken out of context- and in fact, can mean the exact opposite of what they appear to say when shown in isolation. For all anyone knows, he was describing what could happen if the US was subject to continual terrorist attacks and the soccer moms were able to outvote us, not neccessarily describing what he would like to see happen. I can pull quotes like that out of many freepers' comments as they express their fears about what terrorists could do, and then claim they wanted those things to happen.
You may have noticed that the liberals' demands to confiscate firearms over the last few years led to the rising up of the entire gun-owning electorate in the 2000 elections (47% of voters were gun-owners; you think they voted Democratic?), the repeal of gun bans in a number of states and replacement with concealed-carry laws, and the complete destruction of gun control organizations to the point where they're just a couple months of slow donations away from Chapter 7 filings.
Gun control on the national level is a dead issue now, and will be for at least the next couple of generations, if not forever. There are still fights to be fought in some states, but we're winning them. And any events like the one described in this article will lead to the almost instantaneous total crushing of all remaining gun control advocacy groups and politicians. There will be massive runs on gun stores nationwide (just as there was, to a much smaller extent, post-9/11), and any politician that even mentions the POSSIBILITY of ANY sort of gun control regulation will be committing political suicide.
Also, if this does start, it will end with the complete extermination of them all, and there will be no replacements coming in after them. After such an attack, the public would absolutely DEMAND the total banning of all male Arabs in that age range from being allowed in the US.
In short, they might be able to do this, but they'll only be able to do it once.
Sure, they'd find a way to rationalize it to themselves. But they will be horrified to discover that nobody else will even give them a hearing. If they think they lost a ton of support post-9/11 (and they did), wait until something like this goes down. They'd start getting beaten up on street corners for even daring to make such an accusation.
Not that I condone physical violence against mere speech, but I do believe it would happen.

Both have maintained there rankings in the top ten on these two lists for the last two weeks now. This has all happened pretty much word of mouth with exposure on FreeRepublic and of late in Shotgun News.
More very encouraging news. Now if only the printed version will experience a corresponding "bump". Guess we'll see what happens!
If you're just going to insult me, I'm not going to get into a discussion with you. Reread my post 122. WE destroyed the gun grabbing industry by getting together in grass-roots fashion (not because of the NRA) and said "That's IT. We've had enough!" And we voted the gun grabbers out. Yes, it takes a lot to shake people out of complacency. But it can be done. It was done after 9/11, and only went away because nothing else has happened since. But the whole nation's on edge; if it starts happening again, they will wake up, and they will know what they want and how to get it.
And yet, as we speak, the ATF,FBI,and the IRS are quietly conducting a war against American firearms enthusiasts.
These warnings are NOTHING but scare tactics to gain power.
We will either defend ourselfves as a nation under arms or we shall perish as too stupid to survive. One of the basic truths the Founders of this Republic understood is that an armed citizenry will have so many troops available that deficencies in training will vis a vis their enemy will be rendered meaningless.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
