If progressives like William Rivers PItt want
direct action from Americans, they will have to give up their agenda of
disarming the citizenry. Otherwise they are going to get people killed for
nothing while the rest become Big Brother's obedient servants, accepting a bare
subsistence from "a caring government" in exchange for docility.

It is
the conservatives who are armed, and they think the enemies are blacks,
hispanics, pinko-liberal commies, and "terrorists." Recently a friend told me
that Obama was a marxist. Really, how did a marxist get elected with the support
of the US military-security complex, the support of AIPAC, the insurance
industry, Wall Street, Big Oil? How much money do marxists have with which to
make campaign contributions? I mean, really. It is extraordinary that anyone
could possibly believe that a stealth marxist could gain the White House. If he
did, once he showed his colors, he would be assassinated, and Iran would be
blamed, followed by an invasion.

The other day I saw a young man wearing a
t-shirt with Obama's image. Under it was the caption, --socialist." The
stupidity of Americans is extraordinary. Wall Street is going to put a socialist
in the White House?! If the word under Obama's image had been "prostitute," the
message would have been on target.
