Whats comical is that people refuse to open their eyes and see whats going on. The sheep would rather follow blindly to slaughter and they will.
There is a liberal agenda out there. Why would they want to ban guns? Why would they want to disarm law abiding citizens? Why is govenment getting bigger and more restrictive?
Why can't I smoke in a bar anymore? Why is trans fat outlawed?
Wake up people before its too late.
Hyperbole and paranoia at its worst.
The reason we can't smoke in bars anymore or many other things is these Nervous Nellies who sees government as nanny and want the federal government to legislate the morals of the people. This is an excercise in futility, as it is impossible to leglislate morality. I still agree with the Founding Fathers, who felt that government should be small. They had just kicked out a large powerful government, and wanted no more of it. It was doubtful for a long time that the United States would ever exist because they did not want a strong central government. If you feel somthing is not right, don't go crying to Uncle Sam to make others act the way you think they should. You act the way you believe you should and don't worry about what Joe Blow does. Asking the government to pass laws to control how other people act will never work, because after the bureaucracy gets through with it, you have given up major freedoms. And fight back anytime you hear a politician say the magic phrase, "Protect the children." Anytime you hear Protect the children, believe me, you will lose something you thought you couldn't. When Arizona considered passing the sweeping no smoking laws that eventually became law, all you heard was this was going to protect the children from second hand smoke. This is in a state where it was illegal to have children in a bar!! How does preventing adults in an adult venue protect children from anything? If you have been paying attention, when an anti-gunner cries about the number of gunshot deaths, what do they always say? That they are protecting the children from dying by gunfire. Judge Judy the other day had a case about a 10-year old kid with a BB gun. the father stated he had purchased the gun for the kid when he was eight. Judy went into a diatribe about how it was irresponsible and almost criminal for a parent to buy his kid a BB gun at the age of eight. Sorry, Judy, but I taught my kids how to fire all of my weapons as young as I could. I stressed safe gun handling and proper use and ownership of weapons. The problem in the US today is that parents will buy their kids BB guns, and never teach them anything about handling them and provide no supervision when they are in use. That is a formula for a kid shooting at random objects.
I'll slide my soap box back under my bed and surrender the floor to another.
Which is why I'm against laws that outlaw drug use and prostitution.
As for HK, yes, I do use the word hyperbole a lot, and it's not because I just learned it. Would you like me to use another? How about polemicism?
denial-a psychological defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality
— in denial : refusing to admit the truth or reality of something unpleasant <a patient in denial about his health problems
Paranoia: baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others.
Hyperbole: obvious and intentional exaggeration.
Paranoia: baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others.
So I am paranoid and you are in total denial. Guess we balance each other out.
No, I am not in denial. I just refuse to be influenced by obvious hyperbole and paranoia.
I know. That's your story and your sticking to it. By the way I refuse to be influenced by denial.
I know. You're influenced by hyperbole and paranoia.
Makes us even.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. I actually live in the real world, am not in denial, and will not respond to (I'm going to use a new word here) obvious exaggerations and untruths.

Exaggerations and untruths? Haven't seen any. What I've seen have been predictions and warnings based on statements and voting records, along with striking similarities to a historic figure. If these predictions don't come to pass, no one is harmed. If they do happen, it's nice to be warned and prepared. The weather predictions said my area were likely to be hit by multiple hurricanes. People in my area prepared for that potentiality. We actually didn't get a hurricane this year? Were the forecasts exaggerations or untruths? The night before Katrina hit New Orleans, those folks said (like you), "It can't happen here." I hope you aren't wrong, but I'll be prepared for the worst. Thanks
There's a difference between legitimate predictions and warnings based on his voting record (ie., the very legitimate concern that there will be a lot more gun control when Obama becomes president) and exaggerations and untruths (ie., like the subject of this thread, a million man militia, which is just nothing more than fear mongering and paranoia).
Tatt, I think Obama's statement for a civilian national police force armed and financed at the same level as the DOD qualifies to the subject of this text.
