Remember, he came to power thanks to the backlash on that.<br /><br />I'd vote for Newt or Romney (I'll hold my nose, though) over Obama ANYDAY. I rather be voting for Cain, but the media killed him.<br /><br />A second term for Obama means the gloves are likely to come off, at least with regards to whomever is pulling his limp puppet hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-83476916769121903252011-12-21T13:24:21.921-06:002011-12-21T13:24:21.921-06:00In 1775, civilian government in the Massachusetts ...In 1775, civilian government in the Massachusetts Bay Colony had been suspended for seven years and replaced by British military rule, which controlled only Boston. Local civilian government still prevailed outside Boston.<br /><br />As far as the tanks and F-15s are concerned, when the British regulars marched from Boston to Lexington and Concord they were on a mission to arrest people leading the opposition to military rule and to seize individual and community owned weapons, munitions and stores such as preserved food suitable for military use. The British use of military force against a civilian population was opposed by civilians organized and led by other civilians using personal weapons and supplies and community owned weapons and supplies. These organized civilian forces had previously been used against hostile Indians and to augment British regulars in the French and Indian War twenty years earlier. Civilian owned merchant vessels at sea typically had civilian owned cannon and other arms for the defense of the ships.<br /><br />Following the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Virginia plantation owner and French and Indian War militia leader veteran George Washington wrote "the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched in blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?"<br /><br />Organization of a United States government under the Constitution did not force the people to yield their civil rights. Some still find that regrettable, as they would prefer that the plains of America be inhabited by slaves in their service.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-19028688503982339652011-12-21T13:23:44.247-06:002011-12-21T13:23:44.247-06:00No Mitt-for-brains.

He'd sell us out in a heartbeat as long as Republicans, any Republicans at all (including the likes of Giuliani and McCain) seize the reins of power from the Dems. At the end of the day, Hewitt cares no more about the right to keep and bear arms than he cares about abuses occuring under the Patriot Act and its progeny.

Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-30680909110050162712011-12-20T21:43:04.144-06:002011-12-20T21:43:04.144-06:00No Newt.
