I do not welcome their hate;

[denem]

I do not welcome their rage; I do not welcome their jack boots; I do not welcome their ignorance; I do not welcome their lies; I do not welcome their provocateurs; I do not welcome their enablers; I do not welcome their apologists; I do not welcome calls to defend the Constitution by overthrowing the Government and honoring The Bill of Rights by mixing up church and state; and I do not welcome anyone who has no enthusiasm for keeping them out of Congress. I do welcome anyone and everyone who will cast their own vote against this perversion of the Republic.

1. Vote, arm yourself, speak out

That's my best advice to you. Each one just as important as the other two. :hi:

[elocs]

3. If I have to arm myself to survive in this country,

then this is no longer a nation in which I would want to live. I have survived quite nicely for 58 years without living in fear and believing I have to arm myself and I don't want to start now.

5. Then get out of the way of those that will confront the wicked.

You can stand on the sidelines. We will carry the fight against the racists, the sexists, the greedy, the money lovers.

[elocs]

6. Only a fool believes this battle will be won by arms.

Big "we" talk there. There already is a party with the philosophy that might makes right and it ain't the Democratic Party.

12. IF there is a battle, you already made it clear you will be gone.

So spare me your lecture. You will be around for the post battle celebration, but when the work is to be done, you will be gone.
There is a difference between attacking and defending. Our party defends.

11. You and me both...

You and me both. Were fear to compel me to purchase a firearm, that purchase would be my own personal admission of defeat and surrender (note to the hypersensitive... the preceding statement applies only to me).

2. We have to keep these insane whack jobs out of power.

4. It's not fear - it's an insurance policy

Do you drive around the countryside without auto insurance? Same principle.

[Drale]

7. The only way to get rid of these nutjobs

is the fix the economy. Once they have to get jobs again, they will fad into the background, because they will have something to do during the day other than watch fox news.

8. I seem to remember there were quite a few jobs in the South

circa 1950 and 60s. And then was Selma.

9. Yes but these tea baggers only showed up after

the ecomony tanked, hmm just like the Nazi's, although in this case I think the tea baggers where created by the republican party.

10. I disagree. 'TPUS' is a front for returning America to the Gilded Age.

That battle has been going on for thirty years, in good times and bad. Today it's also a storm front.
