“Besides, it only took 3% to do it the first time.”
___________________________________________

Actually, it was more like 30% (not 3%) that favored independence from England’s rule.

“Most historians estimate that only about 30-40 percent of the colonists were Patriots. Approximately 30-40 percent were loyal to the British (”Loyalists” or “Tories”). And the rest, about 30-35 percent did not really care who won (”Neutrals”).”

I hate to say it but if this keeps up sooner or later the Military and Veterans are going to have to honor their oaths.

...against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Notice that the oath is to support and defend the Constitution and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. The president is only to be obeyed in pursuance of this goal.

If he signs a gun control treaty this month as rumored, then yes, its too late.

Picture 50 million of the People, echoing Charleton Heston's "...from my cold, dead hands..." speech.....

I fear that November 6, 2012 will be the last free election we will see in this country for a very long time if Obama is reelected.

I would add but 6 words to those above mentioned, Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney, to say "and we the American people also", must come to grips with this moment in time and our role in denying Barack Obama his life long goal of "transforming" us into his slaves working on his government plantation.

AMEN!

NOTE: To the Hate-Mittens and MORMONS, Freepers.....who would as soon see our Great Republic DESTROYED in order to stand on your so-called "PRINCIPLES"....

All it takes for .....

“My late father’s generation (WWII and Korea) and those who went before wouldn’t have put up with this nonsense. Why do we?”

I don’t think we will. There is a reason why millions of assault rifles and handguns have been sold in the past 3.5 years. There are approx 270 mil privately owned weapons in the US. If Obooboo tries to take over he is in for a major shock.

True. The famous '3%' refers to those who actually fired at the British in anger. One of my ancestors was in that number.
