Good idea.

THAT is an excellent map! Just EXCELLENT! Thanks!

I am a cartographer and I approved this message.

Look at this map of job loss/gain 2007-2009)

*nod* - That is true... however, supplies may be liberated from the enemy if/when the time comes.

And, lets face it, bombs are EASY [to make] for anyone with a basic understanding of chemistry, physics, & electronics. (Though the last is not necessarily required.) This should be obvious to anyone who has been to Iraq in the past several years.

“I do not expect this govt to back off.”

I wholeheartedly agree. The left will use the years to the next elections to entrench themselves, not just in elective office, but at all levels of the many bureaucracies.

Nothing short of uncivil action will return this country to the Constitution, as written. Too many voters are not adversely impacted by taxes, so they vote for the most “entitling” candidate.

Semper Fi, Texas Forever.

Do you think it is an indicator of the coming Train Wreck?

"The tea parties were an initial steam release. I do not expect this govt to back off."

You captured my feelings very accurately- Buckwheat is not gonna back off, and I expect the tea parties to continue and evolve.

Americans are fed up with the fast march to socialism embraced by the [Obama] administration, and they are fed up with the abridgment of their freedoms.

THEN WHY THE HELL DID THEY VOTE FOR HIM?!?
Sheesh!

[mbynack]

I can think of several scenarios where it would be a good idea to be prepared for the worst. I someone decides to assassinate Obama you can bet there will be riots. If the economy continues to tank, the crime rates are going to increase. If a new AWB passes guns and ammo will be at a premium. Etc.

You got it in a nut shell, good citizen.

Were getting a New Government, and it has all the answers. Our input is not required (or welcomed)

[bamahead]

Americans are fed up with having government tell them what guns they may or may not own; they’re fed up with grandmothers getting strip-searched in airports to avoid offending the sensibility of Islamists; and they’re fed up with media elitists making the news instead of reporting it

Our founders gave all to bring about this country. I don’t think many would stand up like that now.

They were definitely in the minority back then, but God, guns, and guts made up the difference!

I went down to renew my Ga.concealed Carry permit today in
Carroll Co. things have changed a bit since the last time
I renewed it. Now it’s called a “Firearms Permit”, now it’s not renewed, you have to “reapply”, now it costs $40, now
you have to be RE fingerprinted, all ten fingers twice, Now
you have to fill out a two page questionaire. Now you have to be run through a NICS check.

No infringment indeed.

Before you went to the probate court, filled out one sheet,
Put you finger print on the license form, paid $25 and it was sent out to you.
Don’t like the incrementalism of all this.

NOTE: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

[Dead Corpse]

Over and above that, the very text of the legislation they used to ratify it includes “incorporation” language.

Do you think it is an indicator of the coming Train Wreck?

I'm a cartographer, not an economist.

IF someone held a gun to my head and demanded that I answer the question, I would ask for more data. I'd want to see the maps for other periods of high unemployment (i.e. 1959, 1961, 1971, 1975, 1983 [unemployment was higher then than now], 1992, and 2003). I would want to see the geographic distribution and the rate of change. I would compare those events with the current event.

But I would keep in mind that we did not have a president who was bent on the destruction of the country.

Here is the best indication of a train wreck:

See also: US BLS site for an excellent data source for overall unemployment rate charts.

Now That is a statement that I Do agree with.
