Did you see what our military did to the Iraqi army? And I am sorry my friend, but the Iraqi army is a hell of lot better armed than you could ever hope to be. When the FBI comes to tramp on your civil liberties, because an Aschcroft Supreme Court said it was OK, every single person posting on this board is going to surrender to the FBI. No middle class pampered legal scholar on this board is going to lock and load, everyone on this board is going to reach for the sky and beg for their lives. I had a gun placed in my had when I was four, and won shooting competitions when I was a kid and I wouldn't even think of taking on the FBI, let along the 101st Airborne Division. Our only hope against tyranny is that the police and the army don't follow the tyrants orders, and pretending otherwise is just hot air. If someone on this board has actually participated in modern combat I will take their talk of using their gun to protect their liberties against a tyrannical government a little more seriously, otherwise shut the hell up.

Listen up my California "Republican" friend: I get it now. You graduated from Irvine and have time to post again. I guess its not like you can go daytripping in Mexico, so why not revisit your old haunts. Pretend you are one of us, and then try to convince us why the substance of our beliefs is wrong! Clever, but I'm onto you now.
Anyhoo, tell ya the truth, it ain't the FBI or 101st Airborne Division I'm particularly afraid of, because I know the FBI and the 101st Airborne Division and they ain't coming after me. Hell, I'm close enough to them that I can say with great certainty that I ain't coming after me!
What I'm afraid of is when President Hillary (shudder) invites the minions of her Chinese masters into my city as Peacekeepers.
What they hell do they give you people in California at party meetings anyway? Get with the program or shut the hell up yourself! 56-44, no thanks to you people!
