As a Tennessean I was extremely excited that the Presidential debates would be coming to the bright red state of Tennessee. I was even more excited at the thought that finally some "REAL" people would get to ask questions of the candidates. This time the Obama-backing media would have a counterbalance. Indeed, this time, this time John McCain would have a homecourt advantage so to speak. John McCain would be in the state that supports him most. Whats more, the McCain friendly crowd would get to ask some questions. I told my wife to arrange for someone to watch my beautiful baby twins because we are going to Nashville. I got the checkbook out, ready to pay whatever it took to be in attendance. I anxiously dialed the number to Belmont University in Nashville, only to be informed that the GALLUP ORGANIZATION controlled all tickets and would be distributing them as they saw fit. It was then that this dawned on me, I have been so worried that Barack Obama would bring communism or socialism to the United States, in reality, in this election year - the media already has.
Keep your powder dry.
“Keep your powder dry.”
Nothing against you sir. You just happen to the person who posted this when I finally decided to say something =)
People post this saying but mean nothing by it. The general concept is “Keep your powder dry, because we are going to be ... “going after them”, “taking back our country”, “reclaiming what was stolen”, “reclaiming our freedom”, etc...
But no one ever REALLY means it. They only mean they would like to... but that someone else has to start it and get it big enough so there is little to no risk for them to join in.
Im not really against the concept of keeping your powder dry in preparation for doing what needs to be done. I AM against using the term if you don’t really mean it.
BLOAT
Actually i was going to call barney franks office and tell him it is time for us to flex our second ammendment right.
I understand what you are saying completely. me and my baretta are just waiting for them to come to the door.
