Army tank battalions have 54 tanks, unless they've recently restructured during our ongoing wars. 50 battalions = 1700 tanks. DHS bought 1700 new MRAP's. Kinda sounds like a planning factor of one per state. No proof, just coincidence. Right. . . ?

Ummm, more than a few, OK? That's why they're called "wars."

Count me as another political apoplectic--whenever I hear or read a Libtard, it's like another drop of water hitting my head in the Chinese Water Torture. I'm old enough to have been personally aware of these harpies and their dogma & emotion-driven agendas for about 45 years or so, and the drip, drip, drip just never stops. But I am a (retired) American soldier, and like other American soldiers in dark times, I'm counting on the greatest nation in world history to figure it out. These bloody-aproned mass abortionists will face a day of reckoning; snipping spinal columns, tossing living babies into laundry closets to die, vacuuming out brains, etc., are practices we won't tolerate in a veterinary clinic, for God's sake!

Both. On the one hand, it's called shameless vote-buying. On the other, it's known as a degenerate lack of pride, work ethic, and true self-esteem. Who WANTS to be a welfare recipient??? There used to be a societal consensus on such questions, but the Progs have poisoned that well, too.

Thank God he is emerging, along with several others, as Conservative leaders who can and will articulate effectively our point of view. Otherwise, we have no voice except via our petitions and demonstrations that let Washington vaguely understand that we're out here, we're watching & listening, and that we CARE. Deeply. We are committed to preserving our Constitution whether they are or not, and their cavalier disregard for our country's founding principles endangers this country. We, however, WILL preserve it.

In Louisiana, we'll have your eastern flank covered. "It's just that simple!" MS will have ours, the AL, then GA, SC, the list goes on. OK will have you on the north, for sure. Rural NM and AZ won't sit on their hands, either. Can Detroit control rural Michigan, or Chicago control Illinois? No, not when push comes to shove--the sleeping giant will awaken. Individual states can decide whether to wall off or search & clear their flaky cities: SF, L.A., NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, or whatever. When we stop having to give them everybody else's money, we can build good interstate loops around them and carry on quite nicely while they rot on the vine. I'm sure that Occupy, ACORN et al. will do a great job running those cesspools.

Sure thing GOW, just talk to your neighbors to ensure that your left and right limits overlap theirs, and that y'all have a plan to deal with dead space, key terrain, and avenues of approach. If they start it, we'll take 'em up on it, then we'll finish the job and restore the Constitution. In all actuality, true patriots will let us know if & when things are about to get serious, and at that point we'll take the initiative against any anti-Constitutional forces--they aren't the only ones capable of raids and other direct-action missions. Can't prove it, but believe most Americans feel the same way. Dixie, Western states, our rural brethren in northern states. . .nope, we won't stand for this bull.

USMC, I would be pleased to see my wife and daughters cleaning their .38's for the next go-round, but actually I've worked hard to train them to reload immediately and stay ready. Too much chance that the BG's friends will arrive before the police. (And of course I also want the girls to police up their brass--I'm an avid reloader:-) Here in West Feliciana Parish, I'd expect the police to compliment the ladies highly for doing a thorough job, and they'd probably all be talking about deer hunting by the time I get home. That would be a great time to clean guns, actually.

The VP of the USA spouting such absurdities from behind a brick wall composed equally of (His Majesty's) bodyguards and depressing ignorance. He presumes to know not only what we do and don't need--which is nothing new for these sleazy pols--but which guns we can and can't use effectively. "Let them use shotguns," right, Your Highness? Joe, you damned fool, come out here with the REST OF US COMMON PEASANTS and face the music without the Secret Service. If you want a double-barrel to oppose a bunch of gang-bangers, knock yourself out. Me. . .I choose something else. Many do, and you have NO RIGHT to try to tell us otherwise.

Nothing really new in this column, but it is still an excellent summary and glaring reminder of the absurd position in which we find ourselves. In an instant-info, media-crazy world, we have a prez who literally conceals his past, and the typical news- and rumor-mongers help him do it. And the opposition party makes no real noise about it, nor does anyone break into the Columbia library and "leak" this info. The same society that celebrated the "bravery" and "integrity" of a Bob Woodward stands tamely, mutely, satisfied, as this glaringly obvious fraud is perpetrated against us. And this mess is but a small part of the tissue of lies and deceptions that masks Obama's every move, and his obvious past (and present) as a leftist radical.
