Guns, including a military style rifle were openly carried to (but not into) an Arizona Townhall. Spooky, no doubt, to be near some folks exercising their Second Amendment rights. They seem to have a chilling effect upon a burly SEIU goon who would beat a much smaller man for handing out "Don't Tread On Me" flags. I've owned guns and enjoyed them very much. It was very gratifying to score well on the pistol range and I enjoyed cleaning them, making bullets, and comparing them with friends' pieces. I voluntarily gave them up when I moved into Chicago because only cops and gangbangers are permitted to have guns. I never carried a concealed weapon, never aimed at a person or animal, never fired a shot in anger, and never had an accidental discharge. I felt much less secure in the city without a gun -- the burglars, rapists, robbers, and home invaders were a real threat to my family in our neighborhood. Nevertheless, I accepted the trade off gracefully. Less personal protection for more public protection -- never a fear of my aresenal being stolen or any of the guns being put to a unlawful use. But, now? Now, I want my guns back!
The beating and kicking of the street vendor in St. Louis outside a TH was the wider opening of an already wary eye. Anyone who doesn't think the SEIU's presence was instigated by the White House or one of its many minions is under a deleterious influence. Then the arrival of Acorn at other venues and their crowding out of unorganized folks -- couples, families and individuals was a real spit in the face. When the WH said "we'll strike back twice as hard," the goons showed up in a matter of a few hours. And when the feckless Sibelius encourage them to "keep it up," I could have locked and loaded, if only I'd had a gun. When Obama remained silent, he might as well have said, "O.K. you conservative sons of b-----s, do you want some too?" In- stead, he spends an afternoon in the Rose Garden race baiting with that simpleton Gates.
This is community organizing Chicago style. Acorn once invaded a city council meeting with force and they've invaded many boards of director and shareholder meetings of banks and other private enterprises. Prior to Acorn, I witnessed the '68 riots outside the Democratic National Conventions. This was community organized by Bill Ayers pals in the Students for a Democatic Society. "If you want to know who I am, look at who I associate myself with." Then there was the "burn, baby, burn" reaction to the assasination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Chicago history records many instances of insurrection, riots, and mob violence. The famous Haymarket riots and the Pullman labor strife are just two examples. Saul Alinsky, author of the Handbook for Radicals, laid it all out and his methods have been and are being followed as matter of achieving and retaining political power. Those who use them are convinced that they and they alone know what the greater good is for the majority of the minority, that eggs must be broken and that the end justifies the means. Finally, with the election of Barrack Obama, those anguished souls who have suffered so grieviously under theBush administration, and the lash of the majority of the majority, are free at last, free at last, to impose their gracious wills on the rest of us.
They (Obama and the left wing democrats) have wasted no time in attacking (with a vengeance) private enterprise with over a trillion dollar commitment of your money. Come hell or highwater (expect both) they will beat the smokestacks into windmills and chase the factories and their jobs across our borders. Not to worry about illegal immigrants. They will follow the jobs and soon caucasian Americans (if there are any left) will be using the same tunnels to enter Mexico -- not only for jobs, but for improved health care, education and tax free cerveza.
By god, they're going to change this "downright evil" country into something Michelle Obama can be proud of -- and you better like it -- or else!
I am so glad that ego and circumstances have caused "the one we've been waiting for" to give us a peek at what a collective life under a regimented dictatorial regime will be. Don't you know you'll be ever so happy. Grandma can luck out and spend her final days in the 5,000 litter Rahm and Izzy Emanuel Hospice. You know, the hospice with the Code Pink wing and the castellated morphine tank. And, when she's finally called home, it will be but a short procession to the chute at the end of the hall leading directly to the Nancy Pelosi Crematorium.
Well, Obama supporters, you have been baited, hooked and switched and switched and switched. But don't despair. Have the audacity to hope that in 2010 the majorities of both the majority and the minority will vote for any one other than an Obama democrat.
Meanwhile, I want my guns back.
