Me neither.

You think protecting ones self from jihadists is irrational? And you're comparing them to the Irish Catholics? Tell me...how many times did the Pope chant "Death to America"? Can't answer? OK, here's an easy one for you...how many bombs did the Irish Catholics set off at Boston Marathons? How many shoe bombers were from Ireland? Can you name any Irish Catholics that demanded Apostolic Law when they arrived on our shores? No, someone is being irrational around here, and you needn't look too far to find out who it is.

I just want the truth and reason to win the world salty. why I spend so much time in here. ;)

Me? No. I rarely remove points, the only times being when there's something objectionable to someone. For me, it's only words on a screen. The overwhelming majority of the time, I add points as their stated purpose is promote something of interest...whether or not I agree with it is immaterial. To me, the civil debate is what's important. Well, that and when something is funny!

If you haven't noticed lately, they kind of already do.
Irrational Pragmatists. It's fear and a lack of principles.
Remember from our history, all the same fears and hate-mongering that went on during the Irish/Catholic 'invasion'.

are you removing them? I almost never take away points. I want the most objective comments to rise to the top of threads. That is by points, salty.

They can't because they do not tell you of any mental retardation's, prescribed psychotropic drugs or any of their associations...only if they got arrested.

Why are points so important to you K? Frankly, I'd rather debate content than deal with points. Oh well. To each his own!

+1

that you lost a point on this site for saying what you said-well, HELLO-no two points for this statement-makes me want to spend time on other blogs. let the conservatives own this blog. gah.

Once you learn the concept that there are people and forces abroad in the world who want nothing more than our destruction, you'll understand why there is a need for borders and protections. In the nuclear, chemical and biological warfare arena, there will be no retaliation...strike one, game's over.

Once you learn the concept of being an independent free man that respects all men's freedom, you won't need to fear outsiders. strangers, or native Americans (N and/or S mixed genetics). Then we can all get back to a proper government devoted to only protecting individual rights by limited, proper use of retaliatory force, and letting all of us return to being productive men using our minds instead of trying to get the government to do things for us against others.

It new law is not to reduce crime or violence. The purpose is registration and intimidation.

Who is still supporting his actions? I'm sure not, and the rise again in recent gun sales seems to be an indication of the fear the people are getting. Isn't it just like most government programs, the program is designed to do one thing, and what it does is accomplish just the opposite. Proof that for me, the wife is waiting for me in the car.

I don't see how one can support the actions of this president any longer. He has taken away rights, mooched mercilessly, refuses to work with the other side or compromise and unilaterally undermines checks and balances of government. He is one of the worst leaders this country has ever seen.

Left to his own devices, this president would stand up a government capable of nothing less than the USSR or Nazi Germany....so well meaning in the beginning...

It wouldn't have, it's just an "I'm doing something " move

It would do nothing to stop mass shooting. It would, however, help stop mass freedoms.

Just as cj suggests, while it might feel insignificant, CONTACTING your eldcted officials IS IMPORTANT. Living in the DC 'burbs, I recently visited my senator with a group to express our horror at the Iran nuke deal. Our Dem senator came out in opposition of the deal.
The other thing you can do is look up your local party organizations and get involved with them. Help get our electorate more informed through those orgs, raise money for candidates or volunteer for campaigns. Stuffing envelopes for a political mailing is better than sitting at home.

Actually, I have lit up the phone lines of my Senator and Representative. I've also reminded them that although I've supported them in the past, I can support another candidate just as easily. They can be fired as well.

Since I've inherited some money and really hate O'Bozo's big Marxist mouth, I'm going to buy a new handgun.
My glove compartment ,45 tending to become a "jamamatic" at the pistol range, I'm going to trade it in for a 9mm that shoots a lot more bullets. My son has such a pistol he carries holstered inside his belt.
The new gun would contain the same ammo as the pocket pistol I bought this last summer.
I've read that cowboys liked the compatible ammo of their .45 Colt revolvers and Winchester rifles. So yippy-ti-yay!
And maybe I'll get an AR-15 also.
I recently surprised my son by shooting a tighter group with his home assembled AR-15 than he had lethal enough at the time.
I explained that before I retired, the Alabama DOC required me to NRA qualify with an AR-15
at annual training sessions between 1984 - 2013.
Oops, new thought. Maybe I should look for a similar rifle that fires 9mm. I'll research that.
I've read that his majesty the dictator does not like civilians to have .223-cal. rounds.

Dj, tell me what you have done. I ask because I honestly don't know what I can do.

Evil triumphs when good people do nothing.. All of those people that see our rights being taken away, and the Constitution being trampled on but do NOTHING are just as guilty!

Didn't Rahm Emmanuel say something about not letting a good crisis go to waste? I mean they exploit so many things that are politically expedient and ignore what doesn't fit their agenda..

The problem for freedom loving Americans is not awareness, we all know what's going on. The real problem is we don't have a clarion call to action or a well defined action to take.

We could rely on the election and encourage everyone to vote. The truth is most low information voters should not be allowed nor asked to vote. Just check out "Watter's World" on the O'reilly factor for a demonstration of man on the street stupidity.

Beyond that, logistically our only alternative would be messages by courier. The government and NSA are monitoring messaging and movements around the world. If someone gave the signal, "let's role" over the internet, twitter, facebook, cell phone, or any other digital device, big brother would send a black SUV and pick them up. Just consider all the lone wolfs they have thwarted.

So here we sit, some of the best informed, educated, and able people in the country with personal knowledge of how things should be, and we are left helpless to change things.

Gingrich said last night on Hannity there is a big change coming from the electorate. 70%+ of the people out here are fed up. I would guess the other side knows that too and is moving with great haste to surrender our sovereignty to the UN and use international forces to quell any uprisings in flyover country. Large urban areas are easy to sedate, just hand out the free stuff.

Let me remind all on this blog..
When law is dictated by a president, we have a
DIC.....TA......TOR.....SHIP !!!!!!
Perhaps the time has come for Congress to do something about it.
