Leftists call for revolution and the destruction of the culture for 40 years - and then are ‘frightened’ when they finally get a reaction.

Damned right they ought to be frightened. After being pushed to the edge of the abyss I’m for removing their influence in this country by any means necessary.

Do any liberals ever read the Declaration of Independence.

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed, --That
whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.

Liberals did not complain when Black Panthers appeared in the streets armed. Speaking truth to power and all that liberal rot.

If there were a real insurrection against the Feds, then the fags at Salon would be the first ones to go. That is why they fear it so.

I live in Staten Island, NY. HOW did it become a crime punishable by a year in prison to own a gun without a permit? And they’re almost impossible to get here. Although my neighbors have glocks.

Have to retract my statement and correct it, was going by memory...

Correction :

No, there is no legislation in California to arm homosexuals for their protection is being drafted..

A canadate for state Senate made the statement that Gays are Gods, and that there should be armed LGBT squads..

Regardless, it doesn’t take away from the left’s hypocrisy..

Let Ted Cruz be elected President and the cries of
“Tyranny” upon his restoration of the Constitution,
will fill the air and media.

When liberals Progressive totalitarian leftists talk about "speaking truth to power," they really mean "speaking power to truth."

It does make you wonder - are they really that stupid to not understand, or are they being deliberately obtuse?

They are being deliberately disingenuous. I have been fighting the Left for over 60 years, and it is a characteristic--actually, particularly among the better educated Leftist--that they virtually always cherry pick the data they will discuss. The pattern is far too obvious to merely result from stupidity. Where the stupidity factor shows up--and it is not stupidity from low IQs, but rather from their fantasy goals, is in the selection of those fantasy goals.

They really tend to be air heads in those ways. If you seek, as Bobby Kennedy once put it, things that never were, and "wonder why not?"--you have a problem.

[ Liberals do not fear tyranny. I wonder why? ]

They only fear tyranny via “projection”, in other words, if they are doing something bad, they fear their opponents are doing it even while their side actively pushes for it.

But they will push for tyranny as long as they think they will end up “on top” when the dust settles.

Why is it that democrats almost NEVER eat their own, even when OUTLANDISH statements are made, but republicans do it almost weekly. Doesn’t anyone remember what Reagan said? Graham should shut up.
