Consider the following:
The DemocratS claim that Algore won the 2000 election by approximately 500,000 votes (For the record George W Bush won more popular and electoral college votes then Clinton did in both of his elections). But we know that the Constitution only recognizes electoral college votes and gives States almost unlimited power on how to cast these votes. The whole thing in Florida was nothing but a media circus because the ultimate power of those 24 electoral college votes rested in the Florida Legislative.
What the 2000 election mostly did for me was to draw attention to the type of cheating that the Democrats have been doing for years. There it was in broad daylight and in the public eye, not the usual back room counting in the dead of night. In my old home town of Detroit it was found (not widely reported by the national press) that there were 100,000 questionable Democrat voter registrations in the 2000 election. Taking that at face value, that trims Algore's popular votes lead by 20%. How many large Democrat controlled cites also have such discrepancies?
In 2002 even more open cheating was seen and it did affect the outcome of some close elections. I also expect more and more open cheating in 2004 and 2006.
That bring us to the election of 2008 and a possible Hilary run for the presidency. We know that she is not that popular within the Democrat party, I think many voters will stay home rather than vote for a undesirable candidate but many more Democrats would cheat for her. I think that if Hillary wins many Americans will not accept her victory because of massive cheating. We will not have a president but an unelected tyrant. When a free people lose the right to change the government by an honest election, it may have to be changed by force of arms.
The founding fathers wrote the two most remarkable documents in human history; the Declaration of Independence, which states that the people have the right to change their government if that government becomes destructive, and the Constitution along with the Bill of Rights with its limits on national power and protection of individual rights. The Second Amendment was added to fulfill their premise in the Declaration of Independence that self-government is the right of a free people and that right might have to be backed by a force of arms.
They never mentioned that private ownership of firearms be only for hunting or self protection because in their time it was a given that a man support and protect his family and property by any means possible up to and including deadly force. The real reason that the soco-fascists want to see weapons taken out of private hands so they can have their way with us.
Not, as they claim, for public safety.
Not for the children.
Not for reducing crime.
Not for the environment or protection of endangered species.
But for the oppression of the people and the looting of their personal wealth and land ownership rights.
Looking at the Bush Country map on the right reminds me of many successful popular revolutions in the twentieth century. Some examples are Cuba, Afghanistan (against the Russians), Communist China, and Vietnam where the tyrannical central government and their allies controlled only the major cities and the rebels the countryside and the lines of communications between the cities. Need I say more?
A few years ago I recall reading a cartoon that took place in a courtroom. The lawyer for the defense of a drunk driver was browbeating a farmer sitting in the witness stand. The caption read "So it was YOU who grew and sold the grain that the whiskey company manufactured and then sold to the bar my client visited and lead to his arrest for drink driving". I laughed at the absurdity of holding a farmer and manufactors responsible for the misuse of his legal product once it becomes available in the public market. I am not laughing anymore, that cartoon is starting to come true by the money grabbing anti-tobacco fanatics and their partners in State and Federal government. They say it is to protect the public health form primary and bogus second hand smoke health concerns and keep it out of the hands of children. Any thinking person knows that this is nothing but a shakedown of a legal industry to fund even more big government by lawmakers too cowardly to either cut government spending or raise taxes. Tell me how are the tobacco companies suppose to control their lawful product when it leaves their warehouses? Joe Camel is no more yet teen smoking is rising to all time high levels. Is the fault of the tobacco industry advertising?
Now some private and government groups are attempting to sue firearm manufactors for crimes committed with their products. The real reason why this is being done is not to prevent crimes; the Clinton/Reno Justice department does not prosecute criminals who commit federal firearms crimes, but to get around the Second Amendment by forcing firearm manufactors to pull out of the civilian market. Like any other commodity (like cattle futures), decreasing supplies will increase retail prices. So since denying citizens the right to keep and bear arms can not be done away with Constitutionally by amendment, it is going to done using the laws of economics by decreasing the supply of firearms and making them too expensive for the average citizen to buy. Of course firearms will still be widely available for criminals because smugglers will bring them into the country to fill the demand, just like they do for illegal drugs. Criminals understand very clearly better than liberals what supply and demand is all about, finding a need and filling it.
However the greatest danger to our society is not the loss of the Second Amendment (as bad as that by itself is), but the entire capitalist way of life this country is built on. I argue that if Colt can be sued because a criminal killed someone with one of their handguns legally sold into private hands, then why can we not sue the automobile manufactor who made the vehicle he drove during the crime? The gasoline company he filled up the tank at on his way to commit the crime? Maybe even the company who made the tires because if he did not have tires how could he drive to the crime scene? I guess he would have to take a bus or taxi, making those firms liable for damages. How can any public company protect themselves from numerous second hand bogus liability lawsuits and still survive? They cannot and we cannot maintain our standard of living and way of life if business firms either go under or move overseas and not do business in the United States anymore.
Call me extremist if you want. Even shake your head and write me off as a radical right wing gun-owning nut if you desire. Ignore me if you do not smoke or own firearms and think that this essay does not apply to you. Think about me what you want, all I ask you do is recall two items I wrote about: the cartoon that I mentioned and Americans who shrugged off the first, feeble attacks on tobacco 30 years ago. There are many such attacks in our free society today such as against fatty foods, private ownership of land and junk-science environmental concerns, and the internal combustion engine that Algore claims is the most evil invention ever invented by man. All this and other quality of life and freedom of choice issues are being worked right now using the tactics of the anti-tobacco Nazis. Little by little over years, winning small victories and compromises that by themselves do not mean much. But groups and individuals who track such things and look at the big picture can see that the sum is greater than the value of it parts and sees the methods behind what appears to be random and disorganized actions.
All free thinking Americans must take a constant and vigilant stand, never give up anything or dealing with these devils. If you do not use your freedoms, you will lose them. One day we may look around in the Peoples Democratic Republic of the United States and ask "What happened to our freedoms and Constitution? We never saw it coming."

The criminals, who do not obey the laws anyway, will not give their weapons up voluntary. Americans who keep guns for self protection will not give them up because the criminals did not. Persons who hunt for food will not. Other Americans who believe in the right to keep and bear arms and do not trust the government will not give up their guns either.
To enforce gun confiscation the government will have to go door to door and thoroughly search every house from the attic to the basement looking for hidden spaces. They would also have to search in and under every garage, barn, shed, pigsty, chicken coop, and dog house. Every cave, hollow tree, backyard garden, disturbed piles of dirt, and fresh holes (including recent graves) will have to be dug up and checked. The government will have to shake down every car, truck, motorcycle, camper, and trailer. The government will have to continually search out and raid underground gun factories.
Taxes would have to be increased to support a national gun confiscation police force. Many more courts and prisons would have to be built along with cemeteries to bury the gun grabbers and the gun owners killed in shootouts. Every other right in the Constitution will have to be trashed in order to enforce gun confiscation. Is that the America the Million Moron March and the Brady Bunch gun grabbers really want?
I think they do.
There are millions of high school students in this country and there is a percentage of them who are outcasts, not accepted by their peers. Their fate is to always on the outside looking in. These outcasts to a lessor or greater degree like their popular classmates surf the Internet, play video games, watch violent movies, listen to violent music, have access to guns, and have the technical skills to make explosive devices. Yet almost all of these outcasts do not choose to blow away their classmates. I speak from experience, all of my school life I was an outcast, many of my tormenters were school athletes. It was very painful time in my life then and I am still fighting off the negative effects on my inter-personal skills.
While growing up, I had access to my father's guns. I also had tools and materials available to build pipe bombs. Looser gun laws in those days meant that I could openly buy bulk gunpowder and ammunition. My brother had hobby rocketry equipment that included fuses and rocket motors to act as detonators. Yet even in my worst times, I never considered taking out my high school classmates, the thought simply never crossed my mind.
You can blame the Internet, violent movies, access to guns, legal or illegal drugs, too much TV and suggestive music, sugar, junk food, sunspots, indifferent parents,lack of religion, moral bankruptcy of the president, etc. etc. etc. I strongly believe that there are simply evil (for lack of a better word) people in the world. There will always be Adolph Hitlers, Joseph Stalins, Jeffrey Donners, the men who blew up the Murrah building in Oklahoma City that also shook my house to its foundations. Why some people are evil, who knows? Maybe an unidentified mental or personally flaw set off by certain external factors unique to the individual. Or perhaps there were born that way, as liberals claim that homosexuals are.
You can pass all the new laws you want and take away more of our rights as Americans. You can try to "profile" people but human nature is too complicated to identify potential aggressors, the innocent will suffer the sigma of being "Identified" and an evil person can slip through the cracks and have their day in the sun. All we can do is be prepared to defend ourselves against them by legally carrying concealed firearms and demand that the authorities have well practiced operational plans to swiftly take the aggressors out.
