When the worm turns, people with your mindset will be doing the same damn thing the Left is doing now, and going full tilt violent on anyone and everyone perceived not 'on their side'.
That is the nature of the mindset displayed when coupled with opportunity and cause, which is coming.
There will be no more respect or honor of liberty than the left has for it.
Bloodbaths are nasty business and they do not care about anything or anyone who gets pegged and hurt beyond exacting revenge and 'winning'. The Left is already there in total, and you folks are right behind them by a half-step.
All it needs is a spark and all that gasoline we are sitting in goes up and the fire cares not whom gets consumed.
It is a fear of mine, as well.
Both sides in this debate seem to ratchet up the rhetoric a little more each day, and we argue over who started it.
It won't matter if it all goes up in flames.
Don't get me wrong, defend yourselves, by all means.
Defend by refuting lies and using the 2nd amendment, if it gets that far.
We do have the right to free speech, to correct those who paint us in unfavorable light, and we have the 2nd amendment, to stop tyranny in all its forms.
From the tyranny of the local street thugs trying to take over the next block to expand their territory, to the unhinged lunatic that wants to harm schools, to, yes, even the government, whatever banner they fly.
The left, no doubt wants to curtail freedom by having a true democracy, rather than a representative republic.
They are those that currently want to limit our rights and freedoms, under the guise of some sort of payback for all the unfairness generated on them.
We have to be mindful that this whole FISA-warrant-wiretap-court thing started with Republicans, following 9/11, with promises that it would only be used to stop terrorist, and it wouldn't be abused. So this time, the side that abused it came from the left.
We have to be vigilant that it never comes from the right, or anyone else again, for that matter.
People are crazy, and rightly so.
There's this little thing called schema, which keeps your mind from thinking about everything happening around you all at once, so you don't lose your minds.
Yet, everything is happening all around us, all the time, in real time, on the internet, cable news, radio broadcast,etc.
It can make people retreat into stereotypes, and quit critical thinking, as it is much easier to have pre-conceived notions, so our brains aren't on overload, all the time.
Be careful out there.............
