Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action ... Aristotle
Youd think ole Ari might have been peering through some sort of cosmic window into modern day America some 2300 years ago with comments such as those above.
Theres another way to look at it, as well. One can grudgingly admit that the Greeks, of 2300 years ago, were smarter than modern Americans. In my estimationyoud be right. So, I tend to go with the latter explanation.
See, America is building a head of steam preparing to go to war with itself a second time at this very moment. This is not unusualnot in America. We have already had two revolutions. You may recall the American Revolution against Great Britain and the secondthe War for Southern Independence, often erroneously referred to as the American Civil War, or the War Between the States.

Its often been observed that perception is more important than reality. The observation is often correct. It is never MORE CORRECT than for those weve come to call liberals. I prefer statist but liberal has morphed from its classic meaning to the other end of the spectrum so Ill stay with it.
Since these folks operate almost entirely on EMOTION and FEELING, REALITY seldom allows FACTS to intrude upon the delusional worldview they have constructed and the comfort that provides them. It is that illogical, irrational and delusional mindset that prompts many of them to continue to quest after a Utopian society. The thought that such a society can and will never be achieved in a fallen world populated with failed sinners never penetrates whatever remains of their cognitive consciousness. Its a DANGEROUS WORLD and, as the liberals continue to define deviancy down, it becomes more dangerous daily.
There is another, far more sinister, level of the liberal call for gun control.
It was Mencken who offered that The urge to save humanity is most often a false front for the URGE TO RULE. He clearly had been a student of the liberal politicians of his day. Were he alive today and able to observe the likes of Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Obama and the rest, hed almost certainly have used far stronger language to frame his sage observation.
To conclude, dozens of studies reveal the FACTS concerning gun control. Those FACTS are that where firearms are widely and READILY available to law-abiding citizens, CRIME GOES DOWN! The liberals who willfully ignore the FACTUAL EVIDENCE and continue to call for gun control (i.e. the DISARMING of DECENT CITIZENS, thereby denying them the ability to exercise their God-given right to self-defense) are those about whom Mencken wrote: Their goal is NOT about preserving life. It is about the hell-bent pursuit of the impossible to achieve Utopian world where all are equal but some (thatd be THEM) are MORE equal than others (thatd be US).
There are many PRO-RTKABA videos on You Tube that your often busy lives dont allow you to find on your own. Search there for Gun Control, watch them and, more importantly SHARE THEM with the folks in your orbit.
Were in a fight. And losing will ultimately cost us much more than our right to our guns.

How many of these liberals screaming about Sandy Hook can actually name any of the kids hurt there?
I’m guessing not very many.
But WOW, you should at least read it.
.....but did not Sandy Hook come along at the most convenient time for this administration?...right on the heels of F&F?..
..it has to be a coincidence since there is NOBODY who would engineer such a tragedy just to further an agenda......
.....or is there?
Now we have Ma clip-clopping down the Senate corridors mouthing the need for "...assault weapons ban renewal."
We have no one to blame but ourselves...
The communists Democratic Party and their king, King Obama, the communists black Muslim, and America is about to collapse. The only saving grace is a possible civil war. Americans you are about to get a lesson on being so ignorant to what you have let happen while you play and soak up the sun.
“The very first firefight between government agents and American private citizens will be the ignition point of an all consuming maelstrom that will inundate the nation and render null and void any chance that America might reconstitute itself into its former image afterwards.”
Indeed...a better America.
I think the civil war starts this way:
It’s a snowy morning, and you have to clear your driveway in the dark before you can drive to work, through the snow. Your neighbor is not out clearing the driveway. He is a retired government employee on a government pension, and wintering in Florida. You work in the private sector or have your own business, and your 401k hasn’t performed well, and you have to work, and pay taxes so that your neighbor can get his pension checks.
Later, you slip and slide on dark, snowy streets after a hard day at work. You check you mail. There is a post card from your neighbor in Florida. The opening shot in the civil war is the iceball you throw through his window.
The Democrats know gun control doesn’t work. They see the same things we do. Yes, they would like all private weapons gone so they could just tell us what to do all the time, but they know they can’t get that done. So why do they keep harping on gun control? It’s because the Democrat’s Nazi Behavioral Scientists have shown them how to use fear to get elected. “The Republicans want you and your children dead! The Democrats want you to be safe and happy and warm.” Fear is a tremendous motivator, and the Democrats use it every day on every issue. We either have to scare their voters more or make them braver.
Pack yer' sh*t now. You won't have time later.

I suspect that present day Americans will accept everything except hunger...
The Civil War is already over.
WE LOST....
ON FX, right now, I’ve watched two wildly popular movies from the last several years, “XXX” and “Machete”.
In one, the bad guy is a CONSERVATIVE politician that hates the ideas of a generous government, and solving the world’s problems.
In the other, the bad guys are CONSERVATIVES against illegal immigration, while CONSERVATIVE pols are making tons of money from the illegal drug trade.
What most folks on FR don’t realize is that we LOST the Civil War already, a generation ago, and it is CLEARLY reflected in the popular media culture, which reinforce those memes and images, over and over again, to a pliant sheeple.

Class warfare from the right? I’m a retired Federal employee who worked his ass off to earn that pension. I worked, testing and developing weapons and explosives, and even counter measures to foreign weapons and explosives, risking life and limb every time we made a shot. You lump every tax paying employee, including retired military of abusing the system. You’re no better than zero with your class warfare.
funny thing. i can print this article but when i copy it to email folks it won’t paste. anybody know a reason for this?
I use to laugh at 9/11 Truthers. Now I’m firmly in the camp of Colorado Theatre/Oregon shopping Mall/Sandy Hook Truthers.
