People at Lexington and Concord are traitors? They are the reason you sit here and don't answer to a King and Queen in England sir. I suggest you go read a history book and apply some critical thinking skills to the current situation, the article in question, and understand the world is not so black and white. Otherwise, sounds like we might have a D.C. spokesperson in our midst.frazzled wrote:They are called traitors, or at best murderers and shot like the dogs they are.What about people who shoot government employees who try to seize their military style guns? Like at Lexington and Concord.
Don't be daft. People like that aren't patriots. People like that are called cop killers, as in PA.

P.S. I am not defending the PA shooter's actions, but that incident is completely different than having someone label me a domestic terrorist for supporting our Constitution and using that as grounds for confiscation, coercion, or even execution...everyone who signed our Constitution knew they would be committing treason, but to us they are patriots. Remember that before making such short sighted comments.
I could be wrong (surprise, surprise) but I think you went off on a tangent here. I think the point of this thread is that what one sees as "terrorism", another sees as an exercise of rights in a free society. Of course that works both ways, it just depends which side of the spectrum you are currently on.frazzled wrote:1. They were traitors to the British government.

2. The states also took up arms against the Union. They lost. They are still called traitors.
Think carefully before replying. Are you advocating armed insurrection against the US government?

They would rather talk about Obama's new puppy!RiverRat wrote:Not a word on either ABC(KVUE) or NBC(KXAN) Austin local TV news stations about the governor's speech this morning. Not a single word about it on their news web sites. SIGH!
Got that right. In Houston, I watched the evening news on both the ABC and NBC affiliates. Not one peep about Perry's press release, but I now know quite a bit about Bo and the Portuguese Water Dog breed...longhorn_92 wrote:They would rather talk about Obama's new puppy!RiverRat wrote:Not a word on either ABC(KVUE) or NBC(KXAN) Austin local TV news stations about the governor's speech this morning.
When did anyone say say anything about an armed insurrection? I certainly did not, nor did I call the men at Concord and Lexington "cop-killers"...I don't think I need to justify that one in the slightest because it is so factually wrong. I am advocating that it is unreasonable (putting it lightly) for the United States Federal Government to say that people that support the Constitution (10th amendment), which is the supreme law of the land in this country, could be considered a "right wing extremist."frazzled wrote:1.

I really like the idea of HCR 50, and the foot it theoretically puts down...
Someone apparently believes this automatically puts them in the middle of another civil war...Geesh...
Just because a great number of us have guns...Doesn't mean we have to use them this time...We are not even close...
