Nobody, we are talking about gun ownership. Thanks for agreeing with me.

Exactly. And gun owners are always crying 2nd amendment and hunters falsely crying about gun control taking their guns away. The 2nd amendment was not about people defending themselves against a democratically elected govt and democratically elected President Barack Obama.

No, gun ownership is also a safeguard against tyranny. You’ll notice gun ownership is illegal in countries run by totalitarian dictatorships. If you think we are far from tyranny think again: “scratch a liberal, find a fascist” - meaning: behind every liberal do-gooder is a budding fascist willing to deprive others of their rights and freedoms. Look at what liberals have done to the unborn.

Basically same ol’ same ol’ in new wrapping. But according to Michelle Bachmann and Darrell Issa who would be the next chairman of an influential House committee, they’re going to be so busy issuing subpoenas and conducting investigations it appears they will actually have little time for actual legislating.

What’s this plan say about Social Security and Medicare? Tea Party Republicans like Sharon Angle and Joe Miller have talked of dismantling them.

So lets see repeal the healthcare law. Repeal Social Security. Repeal Medicare. And someday we’re going to have people in their 80s whose retirements have been shot by the private market trying to buy affordable adequate private insurance policies with pre-existing conditions. Assuming the private insurance industry doesn’t simply decide not to offer policies for seniors with pre-existing conditions as some have announced they will not offer to children now with pre-existing conditions. So good luck to us with all of that. God bless us.

That could be, but you don’t seem to have much of a grasp on what “tyranny” is.

It’s easier to nip “tyranny” in the bud with elections (hurry November) than to have to use guns against it later.

Thank you have having the good sense to put it in quotes, so we all understand you are using hyperbole.It’s easier to nip “tyranny” in the bud with elections (hurry November) than to have to use guns against it later.

How about plutocratic oligarchical oppression? Does that work better for you?

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (namely of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness), it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness"
Sound familiar?
Secession, nullification, and the overthrow of abusive government is as American as baseball and apple pie.

A tad redundant, to start, and transitory. Most of us feel a little oppressed in the morning; it will wear off by the afternoon, at the latest by the weekend.

There are probably a half million apple pies baked in America every day, and dozens of baseball games in every city in the land.
But there’s only one Civil War.
But I have to agree: they are all great traditions.

Well by your admission, you don’t seem to mind the establishment. I hate it, therefore I pretty much feel oppressed from sun up to sun down. And transitory? We have been living under a plutocratic oligarchy for a long time. However, under Lincoln the oligarchs went from being champions of liberty to being champions of the big, consolidated nanny state, particularly when they sold shares of the United States to European central banking concerns after the so-call “Civil War” (more appropriately, the failed War for Southern Independence).

Yes. In a strange way, I am your oppressor.
Just tell the federal agents to camp in their car, instead of your porch. I’m sure they won’t mind giving you that space.
In early America, only white male property owners could vote - about 15% of the population. Why wasn’t that a plutocratic oligarchy?

Another example of citing your own claims and then attributing those claims to the GOP agenda. I’m beginning to think this is a defense mechanism.
By the way, Congressional oversight is necessary. You can’t conduct oversight by faith alone. Subpoenas and investigations are required.

Investigation into what?

Abortion is against God’s will, no one has the right to kill that which God has created. It is an intrinsic evil, being involved in abortion in anyway, committing it, supporting it, voting for it, is a distruction of the soul.

No I’m merely applying time allotment for what Bachmann and Issa of the GOP House delegation claim.

No. Your comments were well beyond the issue of Congressional oversight. As I said previously, your post was another example of citing your claims (ex. repeal Social Security and Medicare) and then attributing those claims to the GOP agenda. You’re welcome to play free and loose with the facts, but I will call you on it.

I guess you don’t have a sensible answer.
