No military, makes it easier to fight off an overthrow. Does anyone remember the Nazis and Stalin? In an overnight raid (Night of the Long Knives) Hitler changed the face of German politics. Stalin was less obvious but just as brutal. Isn’t there something about “a strong military” being a keystone of a democracy?

I think there are too many well armed Americans, and we WILL NOT go quietly into the night…
And somehow I don’t think our military will try to kill Americans, maybe I’m naive but I was military and I know many Vets and current troops, I see them fighting to maintain the USA, not destroy it, but IF I am wrong, then so be it, I took an oath to defend this nation from ALL enemies, both foreign AND domestic…
Yeah, they’ll take me out but I won’t go easy and I won’t go cheaply…

Militia anyone?
I wonder when they will strike this entry from our dictionaries:
mi·li·tia Pronunciation[mi-lish-uh] –noun 1. a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies. 2. a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers. 3. all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service. 4. a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

I’m surprised they haven’t hacked in and stricken these comments.

Thanks, Sheldon, I took the liberty of posting definition number 4 on my blog. That describes the groups in my area. They take the Second Amendment at face value.

People need to understand if the 2nd Amendment falls or any other for that matter, the rest are soon to follow. Everyone needs to support ALL of our Bill of Rights not just the ones that suit them. If the media would just realize this they would be singing a different tune. Heston said it best. “…out of my cold dead hands” Correct me if I quoted that wrong.

Well put, Sheldon. Agreed. My answer to an Obama election is “buy more guns.”
mccain just voted for the 85 bil bailout, so that proves he would have sucked big time. obama wants to disarm not just the hood but america, hello mcfly, what does disarming everyone sound like? go on youtube and type in marshall law but that’s our only two choices, because that’s all they give us, we take their shit and they love it.
