  • The purpose of all this is to make the populace react. Once we react he can release the hounds of government to tear us apart. If you think that statement is a bit overboard, I will remind you of various dictatorships that started with actions that the citizens did not approve of, but what the heck, it didn’t really affect them.
    Division, derision and defeat – three steps in taking a democratic people into socialistic fascism.
    Are you ready to die to protect someone else, even if it doesn’t affect you or your loved ones?

  • Yep, we have retained our Constitutional right to own guns, but HEY, WAIT A SECOND!!! Where are all the cartridges??? Especially .223 and 9mm??? Have you tried to buy gun powder lately? How about primers? Good luck!!
    Yep, old barry says OK, keep your guns. We’ll fight you a little just to keep you preoccupied and silently buy 1.5 billion rounds of ammunition, as many primers as we can get our hands on and, oh yeh, the gun powder, with your money of course.
    Enjoy your weapons, but how are you going to practice without being able to buy ammunition or the components of a cartridge for reloading.
    Just thinking a bit.

  • Ya know, I always thought that the people who OWNED the company had a right to determine wages and benefits. It is also the right of the employee to either work or not work for the company based on his/her acceptance of the terms of employment. If the owners get stinking rich off the labor of the employees, it seems to me that is their prerogative. The employee has a right to renegotiate and the owner has a right to refuse or agree, depending on the worth of the employee to the organization. So where exactly does extortion work into the equation. With the laws, and I may add the culture, that are currently in effect, it seems to me that there is no need to fund an additional entity to spend the employees wages for issues the employee may not like or have the union bosses do nothing but collect dues and bluster from time to time. There is NO valid reason we can’t live without unions. From what I see they are not only ineffective, but quite dangerous to the very people they extort from.

  • Is your weapon on the proposed gun-ban list?

    In reply to JoeShawler.

    ummm, just a quick correction – second hand smoke does NOT cause death to others. Well, at least it isn’t very reliable ;-)

  • The problem is that there appears to be a steady drumroll of progressive ideas and platitudes being foisted on the young military minds. I would posit that this is an attempt to subvert the younger, more impressionable minds, so that in a time of crisis – coming soon to a neighborhood like yours – the military/police/power wielders will be more likely turn on the American people rather than side with them. This is insidious and extremely troublesome. Once the upper echelons of any governmental armed cadre truly believe the pap that is being fed to them, it is a matter of time before we not only financially resemble the Wiemar republic, but we will start on the path to a totalitarian government. Hope I am wrong.

  • Is This the ‘Scariest Jobs Chart Ever’?

    Want to see something really scary? Plot the Dow-Jones Industrial average against the Gold chart. You may see some interesting figures. Also you may want to read Bernanke’s speech from 2002 (I think it was in August). It is a bit tedious and loaded with arcane references to high level finance, but the scary part is it lays out why Quantitative Easing and the reaction of the market. Quite interesting if you are able to discern the true “State of the Union”.

  • Religion is for people who want to go to Heaven
    Spirituality is for those who don’t want to go back to Hell

  • Well, we certainly seem to be in a pickle. Reading these posts, there is a lot of anger and acrimony. We aren’t going to pull off an armed insurrection, so we may as well stop talking big. What we need is a fighting point! Suggestion – instead of worrying about the fiscal cliff, start getting people banded together for a peaceful, yet extremely strong, gesture that will not be missed. Instead of paying the income taxes based on the 2012 tax tables/exemptions/guide lines, pay with the 2008 tax tables/exemptions/guide lines. This would be plausible only if there are enough brave souls left who would actually go along with this scheme. The tea party could possibly be talked into taking the risk, but it would have to be a lot of people willing to do it. Talk amongst yourselves.

  • The issue – would I be fined if I was to do the exact same thing? My answer, yes I would, so Gregory should be fined to the max and jail should not be implemented. This would show the law is the law, no matter who you are or why you broke it.

  • Possible reaction to fiscal cliff – instead of using 2012 tax code/rate/exclusion use 2008 tax code/rate/exclusions ;-)
