Sorry I did not see it before. For whatever reason, the tool marked it as spam and I did not pay it any attention until today. I hope my apparent lack of interest did not turn you away. Troy Stacey,
Thanks for the comment. Sorry I did not see it before. For whatever reason, the tool marked it as spam and I did not pay it any attention until today. I hope my apparent lack of interest did not turn you away.

Then spread that anger to any and all who will listen. I read the Wallace article at http://www.newswithviews.com/Wallace/andrew117.htm and I agree with him. Personally, I would have broken the article into several days worth, for easier reading and absorption, but, each of us has our own approach. Thus far, I have tried to be mild in my approach, avoiding comments that might make me look like just another crazy Texan -- but, I think it is time to stop that, just as Wallace has. For instance, we all have very interesting, scholarly comments about the second amendment, whether it is an individual or collective right, etc. The raw fact of the second amendment is that it was intended to allow common citizens to form local militia in order to support or RESIST their own government. In other words, it is a right of last resort, but one that every American should exercise now, while they still can. One good way to resist confiscation of arms is to have so many of them out there that the task becomes impossible. As I said in the blog, I want to start conversations focused on what ordinary people might do to halt, or at least slow, this trend toward tyranny. Continuing to harp on what is wrong is not getting us anywhere. More to come - hopefully some of it actually good. Don’t let it get you down – let it make you angry. Then spread that anger to any and all who will listen.

Increasingly, it seems too late to for thought and discussion, and becoming time for action - horrific as that seems to an old man. The Marxist bastards are on a roll and making up for lost time. I find it hard to argue with <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Wallace/andrew117.htm" rel="nofollow">this man's logic</a>. Watch the video I just posted on my blog today. Please talk me down out of this tree, my friend. ◄Dave► I am afraid despair is setting in, Troy.
