Rachel Madcow says something fundamentally stupid about open carry demonstrations.

She opines:
But let the record show, at the same time, that in the United States, whether the issue is guns or anything else, you will not win arguments that you try to win by threatening to shoot your opponents. You will not win if the way you are trying to win is by threatening to use weapons to get your political way. People do it in this country, it is a tactic. People try it from time to time and they lose because Americans do not settle disputes that way. In fact, we're pretty invested in having a political system that has us not settling disputes that way. Once you threaten that you are going to settle your political disputes by use of arms, you will lose all of your political disputes. Tempting as it may be, particularly when the issue is guns itself, threats and physical intimidation are not how we successfully achieve change in this country.
Tell it to the Deacons for Defense and Justice. Tell it to the veterans of the Battle of Athens. Besides, it is these collectivist bastards that are using the force and power of government to threaten and physically intimidate US with their inconstitutional laws and criminality under color of law. "Threats and physical intimidation are not how we successfully achieve change in this country." Yes it is. Ask the ghost of Captain John Parker.

Just more leftist double talk, from a husky built chick, who wishes with all her might that she was a man. I wish she was too, for just five minutes. Whups, there I go, with the physical intimidation! Well, I dunno. Like Mike says, THEY threaten us with the physical power of the state to get THEIR way, so, come' ce, come' ca. Dykes. Reminds me of Goering.

Well said. The progressives use every means at their disposal to shut down debate. They use the courts, the media and finally the government.

Poor deluded liberal....
He/she should try reading history now and then...

I would predict that as soon as any politician that sides with "gun control" and ensuing confiscations, that there will be a "rash" of assasinations.
Something about "the tree of liberty..."

I guess no one has told the ATF/FBI/HRT/HSA/ETC about this. They all regularly practice intimidation through the use of arms.

Such bullshit.....

"Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is FORCE. Like fire, a dangerous servant and a fearful master"-George Washington

Fear of government force of arms is what makes people pay their taxes. After all, if you don't pay the tax man and refuse to be arrested for it....they send men with guns to your home.

Bullshit this country doesn't use the threat of force to bend the people to the government's will.

Guns, shooting and other threats of violence don't work?

What does she think her government does?

PJ O Rourke said it well in "Parliament of Whores"

"If you don't pay your taxes you will go to jail.

If you try to escape from jail, you will be shot."

So all those evil regulations and taxes passed by the treasonous congress are disregarded under penalty of death.

So just who is threatening who?

Hope you are feeling better Mike

"threats and physical intimidation are not how we successfully achieve change in this country." Thank you, Miss Maddow, for admitting that the labor movement was a failure.

She needs to stick to her expertise in carpet munching.

She's right you know, because she's on the TV. I printed out them big words she's saying and plan to educate the IRS and their guns when they show up since she has inspired me to quit paying that involuntary income tax. Since Im a bit on the small size in stature I plan on using her big words to intimidate my much larger and very "friendly" cell mate. I am so glad her college money wasnt wasted.

We don't settle political disputes by force of arms? There are thousands of dead Americans buried in Civil War battlefields all over the eastern part of this country who would be puzzled to hear that.

A Heinlein character once opined "Violence never settled anything." To which another character replied "Tell that to the next Carthaginian you see."

You know...they just don't get it.
Here are these, what, elites? (And this applies to any person within our government that has become a regime who are by act traitors to the rule of law.)
"Elites", who hold themselves as our intellectual masters, who perceive how only they and their world view possess legitimacy, in all matters.

Well for a collection of deep thinking betters of our society, they haven't yet grasped the threat to our primal rights of protection from their malice and forethought, from literally the outright theft the very thing that belongs to every human by birth, the most basic idea and means that make us free men.

And these self appointed lords and potentates whom have the elevated themselves to a position of social superiority, a self imposed lofty privilege only they are capable of, of determining what is and is not our Liberty, which in and of itself alone is the greatest hypocrisy imaginable, a collection of pompous arses, who have not reckoned with the reality that when you cram your useless fantasies of some crackpot social justice bullshit up peoples butts and then take their dignity by villianizing them for not bowing to your whole cloth of agenda, well the folks you spit on get pretty testy.

And by meaning testy folks who finally have had enough of such rot, and take up their arms and wave them in these elites faces to give fair warning that that is just about enough of your fucking bullshit.

But what really bakes my noodle, is if these "elites" are so unbelievable intelligent, so wise and knowledgeable, whom are deciding the fate of our Liberty, in their terms and on their terms only, and they can not see they are stirring up a hornets nest?
What do these mental giants expect. Roses and genuflecting at their feet?
And when the unintended consequences of their meddling and manipulating in affairs not theirs ever, rights that come with birth sure as breathing air, that belong only to each man and woman of Liberty, they are insulted and alarmed?
Well that says everything about how astronomically stupid these ignorant royal inbreeds truly are.

One begins to see the scope of resistance to tyranny our founders found so unacceptable.

These are the people who are making the most profound determinations of the future course of this great nation since the founders established it?

Wow...well maybe they themselves have earned the possibility to be shot by the people and their arms they want to steal by any means, done away with as every tyrant and dictator whom eats out a peoples existence worth the name righteously deserves, if only to keep their usurpation of power from polluting the human race with the misery of serfdom and furtherance tyranny.

It begs the question, who do these idiots think they are?
Gods or something equally insane?

Tell that to the Obama admin who deals with any sort of political dissent overseas or here with implicit and explicit threats of violence. A 16 year old US citizen was blown away by obama via drone bc his father preached against the US foreign policy that Obama engages in on a daily basis - namely blowing away civilians with drones for being suspects.

How on earth can anyone take maddow the obama cheerleader seriously?

The fundamental lack of knowlege about firearms is appalling - Rachel, those little black holes you see are where the bullets come out ... and the shiney, stabby bits under them are bayonets which are used when the bullets run out.

Perhaps a practical demonstration is required to complete this education module?

I hope you don't mind my borrowing the Madcow pic for a post on my blog site. Word is out that Commiecast Cable might part ways with MSNBC because of the ratings sinking down the sewer. I have some ripe pics of Ed Schultze, Alfie Sharptongue and Mr. Tinglefoot Chrissie Matthews.
