Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

When her husband comes home to Tucson on leave from Iraq, Keila Rios could face a dilemma she finds infuriating. She plans to take their children out of school for a week to spend time with their Army dad. But when she asked for makeup work they could do at home, she initially was told they’d receive zeroes if they didn’t go to class.

Here’s a good example of why the gooferment should be separated from the skoolz!

These days, the cops take sides. They don’t enforce the laws against tailgating, but let a little lady even the odds a bit, and all of a sudden the cops pull out the cuffs.

The Revolutionary Candidate
by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

Think of how much less interesting, indeed how downright intolerable, this election cycle would be without Ron Paul: a bunch of hacks and drones, not one of whom would make a single substantial change to Washington, D.C., if elected. Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani may as well drop the pretense and just run on the same ticket, for heaven’s sake. And since they’re part of the same racket, they both despise Ron Paul much more than they dislike each other – another excellent endorsement of Dr. Paul, of course.

It’s hard to imagine what the “mainstream” candidates will make of him. I can see Hillary shooting flames about the “children will die without the village”. And, Rudy will say “guns kill people”. Ron Paul will have to be as deft as Harry Browne to get the sound bite message that “freedom is our birth right”!

What kind of twisted psychopath do you happen to be, Madame Mayor, Mr. Councilman, Commissioner, Legislator, Governor, Congressman, Senator, President, that you’d rather see a woman raped in an alley, and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand?

Guns are the litmus test issue.
Ask a politician where he stands on the “gun issue” and if you get anything but straight Second Amendment stuff, then you have discovered their politics. They want to impose their views on you. By force, if you don’t agree to submit to their will. The Second Amendment is there for only one reason and one reason only: To allow the citizens to forcibly remove a tyrannical government!
It’s not about hunting. It’s not about permits, licensing, and background checks for “criminals”. It’s about control. The first thing a dictator does is disarm the scapegoats. The Jews learned it in Nazi Germany. And, over time countless millions get killed by “gooferment”.
The professional soldiers talk about the Fourth Generation War we are facing Iraq. Unfortunately, there will be a Fifth Generation War here as well when the citizens rise up against those in power. The politicians like their easy life with the constant shearing of sheep. Heaven help them if there are a few sheep dogs in the flock that object to being sheered.
FMPOV, even if they succeed, they will eventually fail.
Look what a handful of Jews did in Warsaw with about six guns. When the sheep decide they have had enough, and are willing to die for freedom, then the politicians better get out of Dodge quick. Revolutions fail. I remember being in school when the Hungarians revolted against the Soviets. Ever heard of a “Molotov Cocktail”? Guess where it originated. On the streets of Hungary, where young children said “no” to Soviet Oppression. Hungary is free now. It’s inevitable.
Don’t let the sheep shearers put your fangs.
Women should be “packin”. Not a cell phone, Mace, or car keys. But a nice little “girlie” gun. They should AUTOMATICALLY by being in America have one. I’m sure that the gun makers can make them in coordinating colors just like cell phones.
To quote Heinlein, “An armed society is a polite society”. And, safe too.
