Dem Congressman Warns Of "Mob Scenes" Without "Equity In Society"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 6 Feb 2013 | Staff

McDERMOTT: This whole society is gradually changing in response to what’s going on. Now, we’re in a very difficult period right now, because we have a lot of people who suddenly think it’s all about me. And it isn’t about me; it’s about we. If we don’t take care of one another, and we say everybody’s on their own, then it will simply fall apart as a society: become a mob scene, as it was in Paris if you go see Les Misérables. You can see what the country can become, if you don’t have equity in the society. I don’t want that. I want people to be able to have a peaceful life. And I think our system will work.

The entitlements will not vanish—the monster of inflation will make them worthless. They will not raise the welfare or give aways—only reduce the purchasing power. Food, Gas etc.. is going up—This is how it will work.

Guys like this encourage rioting and looting - as long as it’s 0bama’s constituents. A perfect example of why we need the 2nd Amendment.

“I took his words as a veiled threat. Go along or face the mobs.”

I, as well, understood it thataway.

” before 2014 I believe we will see guards armed with M-16s at every store.”

What, then, is to be of the mobs? There is not enough need now for as many jobs they will all of a sudden have to get.

It’s going to get even uglier as this socialist mess is either dissolved or implemented.

Mr Mcdermott intends to ensure the safety of his constituents by a new law restricting mobs to seven or less to coincide with the largest ammunition clips soon to be allowed.

Uh the reign of terror of the French revolution and Nappy predate the years Les Mis was set in but otherwise your point about what violent revolutions usually bring about is true.

Further, if you choose to “face the mobs”, they’ll side with the mobs against you.

The phones come with 250 “free” minutes. You can also upgrade them for a small charge for texts and added minutes. The liberals claim it is not a tax that pays for this. Technically it is not. The government forces cell phone companies to charge an extra “fee” then uses your “fee” to purchase phones for the their voters. Look at your cell phone bill under Universal service fee or fund.

While folks here at FR are historically literate (and you are of course correct) mine was more about the nature of French (anarchist) uprisings. Since the modern version of education doesn’t require one to learn dates, I was merely taking the easier, sloppier way
