Riots scheduled for September 17th.

Somebody needs to hide my soapbox so I'll quit getting on that damn thing and spouting off.

[O'Dell]

Bawann your tinfoil hat is ok you just got to change the battery and then turn on your microwave and put the hat outside the machine for a minute or two and it will recharge again...On a serious note I tend to agree with you about presbObama having a better than average chance to be elected to a 2nd term and finish the destruction he has only started...I work in a union shop and almost everyone here still thinks the guy walks on water and wouldn't think of voting Republican which drives me insane...I hope that Rick Perry can come through and win the nomination and I would love to see Herman Cain as his running mate but other than those two I can't see any of the others being able to pull it off...The problem I have with Obummer is that he just doesn't have a clue about the economy and thinks that only Government can create jobs which is the crux of the problem, no jobs = no tax base = record deficits = downfall of America...I am more of a Libertarian about some things and very conservative about the economy...Last night I watched a show about the Cocaine trade from Mexico and how over 22 thousand people have been killed in the so called drug wars...I say make the stuff legal along with pot and tax it...No more mafia, lots more tax revenue and no more DEA to waste money on and if people want to do that stuff in their private homes so be it...I would also like to see severe penalties in the form of taxes placed on companies who off shore work to increase profits at the cost of tax paying Americans jobs that are never replaced...I would like to see the EPA done away with and stop their strangle hold on business with stupid expensive laws and rules along with OSHA...The best thing we could ever do is get rid of the IRS and replace it with the Fair Tax which would be more fair across the board to both the ultra rich and the middle class....I hope and pray Presbo doesn't take the election because if he does you can bet your bottom dollar that this time he will go after our right to own and carry firearms but my gut feeling is that he will win again because there are just as many if not more left wing loonies from the gimmie mine class to boost him over the top again I fear....

I doubt that Obama will be re-elected - I hope that not just wishful thinking. It only took us ten years to pull out of Viet Nam. We've been fighting the drug war for over fifty years - when will someone realize they we lost that one too? If Rick Perry does get the nomination, which in certainly not a sure thing, I doubt that he would choose Herman - more like Robio or Giuliani. Or maybe Giuliani for Attorney General and Herman for Sec. of Commerce. If Romney gets it, he'll lose and I may be buying that one way ticket to New Zealand.

I agree with eliminating the EPA and OSHA. I'd also throw in the Corp of Engineers, Dept. of Education, Dept. of Transportation, and probably a few more. Of course everyone knows how I feel about the FairTax and that would throw the IRS to the dogs. [sorry if you like dogs.]

I'm gonna stop now - I beginning to sound like thetmanski.

Well, let's see. His mother was a dedicated Marxist; his father was a dedicated Marxist; his college professors say he was a dedicated Marxist; his activities in college were with Communist Organizations, and he said he only felt comfortable with them; he announced his entry into politics at a reception in the home of a dedicated Marxist and domestic terrorist [Bill Ayers], and the attendees were all dedicated Marxist except for the press.

Either you are pulling our leg big time or you can't see what's right in front of you!!!!

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, and only associates with ducks, I'm calling it a DUCK!

O'Dell, perhaps the difference between you and me is that there is a diversity of thought and behavior in my circle of friends. I have friends in the Tea Party movement, I am far removed. I have friends who drink, I don't. I believe in the 2A, many friends don't care. I have friends who act like Senator Joe McCarthy is ready for sainthood, I think he was despicable. I play golf three or four times per week, most of my friends don't play at all. I don't find any credibility in blogs such as the one cited above [ http://obamaism.blogspot.com/ ], some think its fact.

I don't think that Obama, any supporter of his, or myself (a non-supporter), need to prove a negative. What seems to be offered as proof is weak and mostly guilt by association (thank you Senator McCarthy).

With your indulgence, I am going to refrain from any long political discourse on this gun forum. Its too nice a place and I've gone farther than I intended. Have a great evening.

The problem with "diversity of thought" you refer to is that the left in this country is hell bent on shoving their policy down OUR throat, at the expense of our Constitutional rights. I'm fine with a socialist so long as their not in office ignoring the Constitution. It's funny you bring up McCarthy when today, the blackballing and intolerance that seems to offend you is coming from the left, NOT the right. And it's been proven that McCarthy was mostly right, they were communists. The documents released from the old ussr proved that. The black caucus and everyone else screaming racism at the Tea Party when it's an outright lie. The worker celebration in WI wanting to exclude Republicans and how about hollyweird? Conservatives need not apply, they're not welcome. Intolerance in this country is on the left, not the right. We already have examples of where we are headed with nobama and his entire party by merely looking at what's happening in europe. You can dismiss http://obamaism.blogspot.com all you want, but they at least post their sources as proof unlike the lies from the left and their media that's exposed routinely. It all boils down to socialism/communism, any form of keynesian model is a failure. Hiding the facts of this that the lame stream media does now will not last. Even the perpetual stupid will wake up when it's finally THEIR pocket that has to pay.

Way to go, O'Dell! You put it so simply that even an imbecile can understand it. The only ones who can't understand it are the ones who proudly identify themselves as 'liberal' or 'progressive', who still proudly display the Obama/Biden bumper sticker on their Volvos. Oh, and ALL of the liberal news media.

I resemble that remark O'dell!

I knew it, I knew it. the minute I hit Submit Replay, I knew I was going to be in trouble. Sorry Man - my only excuse is that I hadn't slept in two days. A good friend died Tuesday and I sat up all Tuesday night with his wife.

When I wrote it what I meant was that, I wasn't going to do a long post. I didn't mean that you ramble like I was starting to do.

[TheTman]

It's all good O'dell, I can take a joke. I thought that was a pretty good one. Lord knows I do get to rambling on and on. I was glad to see a little bit of humour in this thread. It's got awful serious.

Tom, I'm quite disappointed in the Day of Rage Riots. Detroit was awfully quiet. Two hours left to raise hell. What do you suppose happened? I heard Wall Street was quiet too. Odd.

Can we get this rescheduled? I'm bored, the Tigers cinched the AL Central Title the other night, I'm waiting for the MLB Playoffs.

[mr surveyor]

.............. I'm waiting for the MLB Playoffs.

DITTO!

Hoping my Rangers (actually mrs surv's Rangers) continue to hang on to the Western Division lead.

[MW surveyor]

Man! I completely forgot to go down to the courthouse/fbi/BATF/bank/etc.

[HadEmAll]

Sure wish I'd have known about this in advance. All I had on me all day was a PM40 and 2 extra mags full of Speer 155 GDHP, and my P380 and 2 extra mags full of Corbon 90 grain JHP. And I did a rare drive through downtown early this morning.

It could have been a close thing fighting my way back to my Mini-14's. If I'd have known, I'd have already had them in the truck. But I guess the local rioters didn't get the memo either.

[melissa5]

So, nothing happened on the 17th? I forgot all about it...guess they did too.

[JFootin]

Was the story just a hoax?

[TheTman]

I just went to http://usdayofrage.org/ and they sure weren't bragging about anything, maybe we don't have as many dedicated socialists as I thought we did.
GOOD!!! I'm glad nothing happened, shows they have no power to organize anything of consequence.
