Oh for heaven's sake! Is that all you can say? I figured that you'd be seen on here. Bush more liberal than Clinton? Now that's a funny one, uh where's the proof? No matter what anyone tells you, you keep up with the broken record. Sheesh!!

,i.This forum has slid down hill in the quality of commentary in the last year. Now it tastes kinda like freshly boiled frog legs,

I see, you are unable to make others see your "wisdom" so, by definition, that just has to mean that the proles are just too dumb to understand it. Here is a thought; maybe both the message and the messenger are rejected by better minds.

It's sort of like "Hooked on Phonics" - repetition is a requisite when dealing with the intellectualy challenged.

No it is a sign of Obsessive compulsive Disorder. By the way it may be better if your learned the proper spelling of “intellectually” before you accuse others of being so challenged

RE: "I have owned Class III firearms for 20 years along with over 60 other firearms, ..." My, now I am impressed. Speaking of wet panties, since you brought it up, just how small is your main gun? 'Couldn't resist ;-) As far as your "baseless fears" comment, is there any prior restraint from your masters that you wouldn't find acceptable to your honor as a citizen of this fine Constitutional Republic? Just wondering.

[Texasforever]

I'll just take it as another snide remark from one of the "team" that does all it can to avoid real discussion.

It was a valid statement. Congress or the States to quell civil insurrection as defined in the constitution can only call up the Militia. That my friend means that those you call the "militia" that are going to conduct the next "revolution" are the insurrectionists that the constitutional Militia will quell.

I guess the logic here is that "if it hasn't happened to me, it's not happening. Let's whistle by the graveyard and just wait until our number comes up."

I have no personal experiences to speak of. Unfortunately, this does not in any way mean that disturbing events are not transpiring.

You are an experienced gun owner, and as such I'm surprised you don't know what I'm talking about - or perhaps it has to do with a river in Egypt? Let's see, there's our good friend Randy Weaver and the whole Ruby Ridge fiasco, there's the Viper Militia, and the famous group known as the Davidians. You may think of them as a religious cult and not a militia, but the idea is the same - individual gun ownership is villified through the idea that the 2nd amendment is a "collective right". This argument is commonly used to demonize militias, while the very word militia itself has taken on a negative connotation.

"By the way it may be better if your learned the proper spelling of “intellectually” before you accuse others of being so challenged"

I admit to being keyboard challenged - but not spelling though

[Vidalia]

You have received your militia email, but you don't have a clue.

Why don't you check the Vidalia site before you push your tongue out your 3rd grade ass to do the wagging.

What you will not find on the Vidalia site is how distasteful fools are to the eye and ear...

[Vidalia]

You might want to know on whose case you are "getting on", before you and others jump, for you will only hit the the boat's wash, for you are nowhere near the bow, in fact, you aren't even near the water...

[LibTeeth]

I stand corrected. I have no desire to "make" others see my wisdom. Such statements reveal more about your world view than mine. So far, not one of my questions or points has been directly addressed. As to the stench of my recent replies, I'm just responding in kind. I'm adaptive to any currency when the exchange rate is so favorable.

[missileboy]

No use replying about the collectivism question lest I speak more psycho babble. I guess blatant inflammatory posts talking about fecal matter, narrow mindedness and grammar critiques are to be the norm.

Who informed you that the Bush Administration was "pro-gun"?

If I'm guilty of labeling you "typical", you are three times as guilty for your mischaracterizating me as a militia-borne poster. Doesn't even come close to fitting the bill - I'm not even a good shot, and the few weapons I own aren't much to speak of.

MG34, AC556, MP40 in that order

[missileboy]

I guess that by dissenting I'm suggesting some knuckle draggers are going to conduct a revolution? I wouldn't expect Congress to call up the militia today; I think we're way past that. Hypothetically speaking, what do we do if we find that the Feds (Congress) have become overbearing? Will the militia take a call from them or will the militia have to do what it can to go up against a large standing Federal force?

[LibTeeth]

Bush Republic I could handle. That might entail some actual debate, where thoughtful questions are considered, replied to, and civil discourse follows. Geez, as far as the polls and actual government policy goes, the Bushies are winning. Yet all I see is a big inferiority complex where they can't even deal with legitimate criticism. I've seen posts pulled rather than discussed, and where they are allowed to stand the discussion reminds me more of an africanized bee hive in the middle of grazing herd than any sort of "Free Republic". Fortunately their venom is weak and where there's bees, there's honey. These buckeroos are gonna fund my retirement even if we can't shoot straight and the magazine is loaded with blanks. Fear the government? Not a chance.

[MJY1288]

I can not argue any the abuses by the Governemnt or for the Government. There is no excuse for thje violations you've pointed out. But I can say that for as many gross violations by the Government that threaten our 2nd ammendment rights, There is many more reckless criminals who abuse their rights also. I don't fear the Government nor do I want to take up arms against it. When my rights are threatened and/or the freedoms we hold dear. I will be prepared to defend them both. So before you paint me with your usual brush, Think again

In another generation the citizen militia will be made up of kids who were fed federally subsidized mind altering drugs because they made their index finger into a pistol, or drew fighter jets on their notepads, or wiggled too much in their chairs (some exageration, but not much). These processed "human resources" won't be capable of generating leaders, or those who can follow anything other than what is spoon fed them through the consensus manipulation process that washes over them in school, in the media, and at work. The liberals already own the groupt-think values of the next generation who think freedom means self expression, and whose non-conformity is as predictable as the infection in their nose rings. I think it was beat poet Alan Ginsburg who chortled "we are going to get you through your children". When so-called conservative corporate interests adopt transformational team building techniques to manage their workforce, and justify it, the culture war is just about over. From the kids, to the gray suits, the mental virus has little left to infect. When the spiritual war is nearly lost, the physical war matters little. But keep your powder dry, as statistical averages mean little to the individual face to face with one of the barbarians inside your gate.

It's too late to work within the system,
but too early to shoot the bastards."- Che Guevara

[RedBloodedAmerican]

How many Americans are you is Bush willing to sacrifice?

That's ridiculous. The question should be posed to you: how many Americans are you willing to sacrifice?

So the War on Terrorism is sacrificing our people? And if it provides for the continued freedom and liberty that you enjoy, and you are opposed to that, then you have just put yourself on the enemies side.

Nice work.
