Can you just see all the criminals marching in and registering their handguns. If Shields gets his way it will be easy for the lefties to take this country over. It has worked well in Nazi Germany and Stalins Russia.

Mike, Kimo,and J said it well.

Sit still, be quiet, and don't say anything to upset the teacher . And by all means, be politically correct at all times or you might hurt someone's delicate feelings.

Carol, to help you understand people like Waffler and Reston, read "The Liberal Mind,The Psychological Causes of Political Madness". Easy to find on Amazon. Liberalism is truly a mental defect and this book helps to explain why.

A true story. A young woman, a relative of a friend, lived alone. Her cat slept with her and was startled by a noise downstairs and woke her up. She reached for a pistol she kept by the bed and shot dead an intruder who was coming toward her. Waffler, she could "hit the side of a barn" and a thug bent on hurting her.

Tell this to the gun grabbing Brady bunch. Reston, go back to sleep, you're becoming annoying.

Right on, Justin and Mike.

Government takes our lives and liberty and steals our property.

The IRS, the gestapo collection goons of the Treasury Department.

The kids are taught to sit still, be quiet, and don't rock the boat, but are rarely taught to think.

J Carlton summed it up in one short sentence. Well done J.

Our government operates under the idea that they can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time and that's good enough to get their job done.

There is much wind coming from the Obama, Reid, Pelosi Axis but I'm not sure how pure it is.

I'm with Mike on this.

Joy , you say your husband works so he must have a job. He is very fortunate to have one with Obama, Pelosi and Reid running things so tell him to hang on to it.

Mises was exactly right and Joy ,your reply is nonsense, or worse.

Reston, your comment ,as usual, makes no sense. Why is our country up to it's eyeballs in debt ? Look to Washington, they are the people who pass the laws and spend the money and we are not getting out of this mess by "Taxing the Rich".

This is why I'm a Libertarian and not a republicrat.

For example, the IRS has a term for taxpayers, they call us "inventory". H.L. has it exactly right.

Speaking "frankly and fully" in this age of political correctness is bound to offend someone.

When the government steals your money, it's always for the "common good". Ayn nailed it in this quote.

This brings us to the income tax which is nothing more than government sanctioned extortion. It's legalized theft.

Tell that to the Anointed One, Mr. B. H. Obama, not that he has any use for the Constitution.

"Legislative interference" is the key to this quote. King Obama is a great example of this.

Liberalism must be a mental disorder. When taxes are raised it stiffles the economy, when they are lowered the economy booms. When taxes are reduced businesses expand, hire more people who pay taxes and government revenue is increased, thereby giving the socialists running things more money to waste on idiotic spending bills.
