The typical patriot acts within his free-speech and 2nd Amendment rights, and in fact most patriot activity consists of venting steam by meeting with like-minded Neanderthals and firing off blog posts threatening civil war. Yet such blather tends to get under the skin of the Timothy McVeighs of the world. These groups should be closely monitored, with resources adequate to the task, even if it means shifting some homeland security money from the hunt for foreign terrorists.

This was taken out of the L.A. Times editorial, LOL, some how people are acting within their constitutional rights is terrifying......patriots are neanderthals......comparing patriots to mass murders.....shift more money away from hunting foreign terrorist to monitor more closely patriot groups.

This is the mind set of progressives, now I know what all the effects psychotropic drug use and face lift operations is having on the users. This isn't getting scary, its getting spooky. Great find nukes.

We're in the last days of Rome here, where the unwashed toil to fulfill the needs of the citizens of Rome-- or in this case, the hive cities. We've lost effectively our voice and our vote (now that SCOTUS had decreed that positive voter ID is unconstitutional). From here on, it only gets worse.

The non-hive areas can petition for secession all they want (as several counties in Colorado are) but the tyrannical majorities will not abide the escape of their cash cows. And as long as they get to pad their majorities (if, indeed such majorities exist) with vote fraud, there's no way in hell it will ever turn around.

Even when the system sort of worked, the right had to overcome an inherent 4-10% bias due to fraud/media bias. Now that the left has been given free reign, there'll be no stopping them.

As, an economist that looks at territories for our US fortune 1000 firms to expand abroad - I always look at the entitlement variable (plus GDP, birth rates, saving rates, geopolitical structure, etc.). I present to those corporate executives the spirals that will ensure in entitled nations. It wasn't until last year that I included the States in that list and recommend products (consumer packaged goods) that our clients may need to consider pulling back from US distribution and make more profit abroad.

If you haven't read Atlas Shrugged, you should. For years I disagreed with her (Ayn Rand) selfish philosophy but my eyes were opened in the last two years; her philosophies primary focus is around individualism rights from a Gov't that deviates from the constitution.

If Ayn Rand is too much for you, at least pick up James Wesley Rawes. James was military intelligence and a great 2A planner. You won't be able to put his books down.

Far better to find ways for people to find out how much fun shooting is. That will develop familiarity and lead to more acceptance. Then we will have more folks neutral or in favor of gun ownership.
