Curious that on Memorial Day so many cop haters would crawl out of the woodwork to spew their tired equation of America to Nazi Germany.

I sincerely hope that we can avoid it.

The perpetual dirty war which continues to bleed in the beautiful country of Colombia is no fun, and that is the type of situation we may arrive at if we elect bad leaders, and they make bad decisions.

A decision for example to ban semi auto rifles after some outrage. No matter what, that could trigger a dirty war.

BTW roscoe, -- many here have asked whenever you start your flagwrapping routine, -- but you never seem to answer..
Have you served? Ever taken the oath? -- I'd bet not.

Maybe roscoe, but wannabe bootlickers like you are even worse.
Hell, you admit that the 2nd only applies to federal law.. Figure that.

Admittedly many of Don's wannabes do nothing more that rage impotently from behind their keyboard. Faced with an armed police officer, they would cower, unable to even raise the "courage" to backshoot him.

Actually I do not believe it necessary to have the states siding against the Federal government. The threat of such a war breaking out even if the government is confident it could win is enough to deter the tyrannical actions of all but a mad tyrant to be. I know teh argument can be made that all tyrants to be are mad but those in his entourage without whom he/she would be unable to come to power have too much to lose. Further, there are numerous example from American history of "masacres" and mini wars where the erstwhile victor eventually conceeded many of the points. From teh Haymarket riots and the Pullman strike to the Molly Mcguirres the American Labor movement was seen as a totally subversive group but eventually unions whatever one now thinks of them did provide an impetus for improving the lot of those who worked in factories and trades.

Now another has posited a situation where a group of people armed by the tyrant to be take DC and the tyrant to be orders the military not to be involved. Such a situation would call for an armed response to perhaps uphold a Supreme Court decision. Remember we have precedent for a President defyin the Supreme Court. It was Andrew jackson who stated "John Marshall made his decision now let him enforce it."

Further, the armed citizenry may take up ars in support of a portion of our military should the disaster happen that we face tyranny. political differnces in teh past caused teh last civil war in the USA who can state that such is an impossibility ten, twenty or thrity years down the road. Certainl one can not state with any certainty that next year or next month we will not be facing some situation where an armed citizenry must be called into play

This is not to say there are not dangers in this fact. Clearly any radical change that is supported by the majority may find that the minority takes up arms (either pro or con). However, the fact that this danger is always present serves to limit the tyranny of the majority in and of itself. the presence of an armed populace helpd maintain our rule of law because when a government destroys the rule of law then force of arms is what rules and they do not have a monopoly there.

Funny that you never ask me if I served.

Not really. You usually don't make the same snotty types of cowardly comments as roscoe.

Of course you know I did, and with distinction.

I'm impressed kevin. Do you realise that tooting your own horn is a type of mental masterbation?

I've been around the world and lived in many nations. Instead of playing mental masturbatory games like the dingbat "constitootionalists" here who scream "jackboot" at every traffic speedlimit sign, I have a good understanding of how well this nation of ours stacks up against other countries. I have witnessed true governmental tyranny up close and personal.

Many of us have kevin. But you of course, have special non-dingbat insights. Yep.

I would NEVER make the gross error of equating the United States of America with a true tyrannical government.

No one has on this thread, kevin. Calm your hype.

  You badly, insultingly overplay your hand when you equate this grand United States of America to the sordid spectacle that was Nazi Germany. At best you display gross ignorance. At worst, you betray a diabolical hidden agenda.

Good grief.. I have a hidden agenda? Get lucid. Talk to a priest about your devil fantacies.

You are all snivelling, spoiled, snot-nosed adult brats so drunk on the magnificent freedoms you enjoy in this country that you complain if life isn't pre-chewed for you. You make want to puke.

Kevin, - you are a sniveling little puke.. Get a grip.
