Reminds me of when the "New Math" was all the rage. 2 plus 2 equals 5, but not to worry, close enough. We wouldn't want to hurt the little darlings self esteem by telling them it was 4.

I'd change the "All" to "Most".

Camille, I'd check out that water supply in Salt Lake City. I'm with J Carlton on this one.

Like Lenin or not, this is an accurate quote. That's no doubt why Obama pushed so hard to get it passed.

A great quote and so TRUE. Very little even close to being true has come out of Washington in years. If you plan to listen to Obama give the state of the union address, be sure and wear hip boots as it's likely to get pretty deep.

Katlyn, you are a great example of this quote, the ignorant part anyway. I suspect that you are young, judging from your name since Katlyn was the name given to a lot of kids born 15 to 20 years ago.You no doubt attended public schools which explains why this quote has you baffled. Let me translate for you. If you are ignorant, government can easily pull the wool over your eyes and convince you that they have your welfare in mind while they rob you blind and enslave you. Hell, you won't understand this either.

Government poverty programs, like all this war on poverty, do more harm than good. We now have people making more from welfare than they could make at a job. Not much motivation to seek work here.

"The latter corrupt" part describes most of the U.S. Congress but not the "superior itelligence" part. Maxine Waters alone would drop the average intelligence of any group at least 50 points.

Sherman should know as that S.O.B. inflicted a load of cruelty on the South after the war was lost.

Have you noticed that our government always has the country involved in some kind of a war. Wars on poverty, obesity, cancer, hunger, and those pesky shooting wars where people actually get killed. People will give up all sorts of rights when the country is involved in one of those wars where people get shot and blown up, which could be a clue why government keeps one going most of the time.

There are many things threatning our freedoms today, gun control, the war on drugs, civil asset forfeiture, the Obama gang and so on. It's hard to say what is the biggest threat, but Islam is up near the top. If you doubt this, get a copy of a book by Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament. The book title is "Marked for Death". Mr. Wilders has been under armed guard for the past 10 years due to telling the truth about the Koran and Mohammed. Because of political correctness now infesting our country, telling the truth about Muslims is verboten.Check out this book for the truth about this world wide threat and how Islam is ruining Europe and is right here in America.

We need one now more than ever.

Waffler, there you go with that gibberish again.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Gun grabbers pay no attention to the Constitution whether Maine's are the U.S.

Mike, thanks for the Blackstone information. My have things changed in England since Blackstone.

Waffler are you nuts, and that's a rhetorical question. Your diatribe above is so full of nonsense that it would take a ream of paper to reply. Where on earth did you get the notion that guns are to "attack" our government. I rest my case as to your sanity.

Susan and J Carlton got it right and Mencken is one of my favorites along with Mark Twain. Twain described public servents this way: "Persons chosen by the people to distribute the graft". L.Neal Smith described government this way: "Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure".

This quote is exactly on target, and why libs like Robert, Reston, and O'Dwyer can't understand it is beyond me. The liberal mind is truly a wonder to behold. Cognitive dissonance is the only answer I can think of.

It's good to stay on subject when comes to guns. The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting, target shooting or protecting your home against intruders It has to do with citizens being able to defend against oppressive government. Our Founders understood the evils inherent in government and wanted citizens to be able to protect themselves against these evils.

Allan McLeod, about what I'd expect from a New Yorker. I am not a hunter nor a gun collector, but thanks to your comment, I'm joining the NRA today.

Did you notice this on the "news" yesterday. The libs trotted out the unfortunate lady who was shot sometime ago in Arizona. Naturally she said that "something has to be done now". Liberals, being emotional , not logical, always use a pathetic person, or persons, to promote some hare brained scheme to "protect" us from ourselves. Communists like Diane Feinstein are always on the wrong side of liberty.

Mann, as usual, you miss the point. He didn't say that genocide and tyranny was specific only to Communism , he was simply stating what happens when a country is taken over and ruled by Communists. We know that others are guilty; Hitler, another left winger comes to mind.

As usual. Mencken is right on target.

The commies are still dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as the Muslims. If anyone doubts this, get "Marked for Death", by Geert Wilders. This book explains how evil this "religion" really is from a man who has experienced it first hand.
