"Exercises" like THIS ONE scare the hell out of me.

As an ex Grunt, I see the need for training to specific types of operations, and Urban Operations are among the toughest assignments any military unit has to engage in. Training saves lives, of both the soldiers and the civilians engaged in any conflict. Having said that, something about this training exercise makes my skin crawl. My gut tells me there is more involved, and in my years as a LEO I learned to trust my gut. There are times that there are subtle hints that you are not consciously aware of that warn you of danger, and my spider sense is tingling all over this one.

Yeah, I know it makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I wouldn't trust ANY Administration with this type of power, much less a Socialist one like Obama's. Posse Comitatus was put into place to prevent any political entity in the U.S. from arbitrarily using troops to perform Police functions.

Ask yourself WHY they would find a need to train for such activity unless they are planning to use it in the near future? Given Mr. Obama's past record on gun control, and even more importantly, the past history of his appointee for AG on gun control, doesn't it strike just a little twinge of fear that this might just be a rehearsal for the future; or if nothing else, a trial balloon to see how it floats with the American public?

Only time will tell, but, remember, "just because you're paranoid doesn't necessarily mean that there is no one out to get you.", and in the case of our rights as free people, I believe a little paranoia is healthy if you want to keep those rights intact.

"Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed." -Sarah Brady

STILL believe the Brady Bunch don't want to confiscate your weapons?

What will it take to wake you up to the GFW Agenda; the police breaking down your front door in a search for your (heretofore) legally owned weapons and ammunition? Get educated, get aware to what is truly happening, get involved in protecting one of your most basic rights.

If you don't do these thing, and soon, May I wish you all the happiness in the United Socialist States of Amerika, Comrade?, as for me, I believe I will be one of those "Capitalist Running Dog Counter-Revolutionaries that the State protected you from. I may be dead, but I died free...may your chains ever lay lightly upon you, but you will deserve to wear them if you won't fight before they come to put them on you.

Nicki over at at The Liberty Zone has had it.

I sure couldn't put it any better than she has in this scathing condemnation of those responsible for the current state of the Republic.

As cartoon character Pogo once remarked "We have met the enemy, and he is us".

I'm tired of yelling into the wilderness, all I can do from this point on is prepare myself and mine for the coming storm and the chaos it will bring. I beg you all, do the same.

Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, otherwise known as HR45 is wending it's insidious way through the House.....I sincerely hope that it never gets out of committee, but the mere fact that a GFW is bold enough to even suggest such an act shows just how far down the path to Fascism we have trodden.

Any Congress-critter "bold" stupid enough to even THINK of such a bill even ten years ago would have, rightly, been run out of town on a rail with a thick coat of tarry feathers to keep him warm.

Why I am I so incensed? Read some of the provisions of the bill, if YOU are not incensed at the proposed denials of a basic right recognized in our Constitution, I question your patriotism, if not your sanity.

Mr. Rush (D -IL) is proposing a vast new bureaucracy that will have control over your basic right of self protection, the very bedrock of our Republic. He is of the opinion that the Government has the right to restrict weapons to those few it deems "safe" and control even those people to such an extent that their ownership becomes a mere caricature of ownership.

The only question before us now is: are We the People made of the same stuff as our Founding Fathers ? They threw over a tyranical government for much less reason. Have We become too complacent and/or cowardly to stand up for the basic rights They fought,sweated,bled, and died to let us freely exercise?

Read your history people. I suggest you concentrate on Germany circa 1934 to 1938. Don't make the mistake to believe "it can't happen here". It IS happening here, at the least, the beginnings are happening NOW; we have time to change it before it's too late, but not much time, and it will take courage and a steely resolve to fight to stop it.

Allen Davis has a great piece on just what the "stimulus package" currently being proposed by Mr. Obama is really all about.

Plain and simple, it's an end run to end the free market economy as we know it.
Period, end of story....the only question is, will the electorate wake up in time to stop it or not.

My bet is the sheeple will continue to snooze on....excuse me while I go check my inventory of precious metals.

Yeah, Socialized medicine is really swell! I can't wait for the day that I'm refused emergency care courtesy of Obama/Pelosi/Et All...after all I really care for the poor (after all I AM one) and downtrodden (can't be that...apparently White people aren't allowed) /sarcasm

Ben and Jerry's is coming out with an unbelievable new ice
cream in honor of the new president.

It is being churned in Washington DC and appropriately being
named:

'Baracky Road' ---- half chocolate and half vanilla,
surrounded by fruits and nuts.

Bifurcation?

Captainsql has a tongue in cheek proposal to smooth over the current polarization between the Left and those of us who are correct.

I must say that his last request is highly agreeable to me...., hell, I would wish it to occur regardless of all the rest of the proposal. I'm sure Mssr. Car-ter would be much more comfortable among his own kind, and it seems that Hamas or France both need some new blood in the upper echelons of power...
