Our argument in a nutshell: Waking the dragon — How Feinstein fiddled while America burned

[johnyfive]

A liberal will probably never come across the article, but that isn't the point, I think, the point is to help those of us who aren't wordsmiths of any kind make a compelling argument out loud for the things we know in our heart. If we're talking to someone who's listening and not just waiting for our mouth to close, they're probably not a liberal extremist, they're probably part of the majority who is currently being influenced by the biased news and made-up statistics that anti-(specific)freedom liberals are currently feeding them who need to hear the other side of the argument put concisely. The most compelling argument is the one to which the counter argument is never presented.

That was an expecially good article, irregardless of whether or not it was a repost. That's a mute point.

The civil war garbage is ridiculous. We aren't even close to a civil war, to say so makes people look foolish. There is zero organization just a some pissed off people.

I don't advocate a civil war and agree we are not near one now but.... At the end of the Bush years we were close to an economic cliff much as Greece is today. They are having a civil war and the government is afraid of losing power. Are we there, no, could we be.... It depends on how things go from year to year. What is to say that in 20 years the economy has broken from debt, a government overreaction has not lead to the populus being tired of it. Small things nobody saw lead to unrest boiling over. Rodney King and the LA riots, a taxi driver in Egypt, a monk self emolating, a man running into a bank and demanding all of his money causing a depression. It is not crazy or ridiculous, it is learning from history to be prepared because enough unrest leads to civil war. How you prepare is up to each family but should not be put down unless taken to an extreme that affects others. Right now it looks like the economy is turning around and we are less upset overall but who is to say what will happen tomorrow.

I don't think the average bovine voter out there has enough passion about anything beyond the latest offering from Apple, to get riled up and strike back at the oppression marching toward us from Washington. It's a nice thought, but a police state is coming. Aside from some small pockets of resistance which will spring up when the inevitable "it's not really martial law... it's just for your safety" restrictions hit, there won't be much fight-back. Unfortunately...

Do you seriously believe one guy asking for his money from a bank can cause a depression? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_...eat_Depression

Not sure what "emolating" means, but guessing you are referring to immolation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-immolation
