Overnight Open Thread (12-30-2012)
— Maetenloch

Actually we already are and in fact the Federal Government is basically paid for by the top 5%.

And if more than few take their taxes elsewhere we are screwed e.g. France.

Well if you're the government you just take the money:

On April 15, 2011, a day that has been dubbed "Black Friday" in the poker community, the DOJ shut down the American operations of three major sites: PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Ultimate Bet.
...In January of this year, Full Tilt and the DOJ worked out an arrangement in which the DOJ took ownership of Full Tilt with the intention of selling it to raise funds to pay back American players. Seven months later, on July 31, PokerStars purchased Full Tilt from the DOJ. Businessweek estimated that the transaction would make $547 million for the U.S. government. At the time, the DOJ vowed to reimburse Full Tilt's U.S. players; Stars said that it would take responsibility for returning $184 million to non-American customers.
PokerStars followed through on its end of the deal and recently relaunched the Full Tilt site outside of the U.S.

And surprise, surprise the DOJ has returned exactly $0 of the US account holders' money.

According to Steven L. Kessler, an attorney based in New York City who specializes in forfeiture law."In one of its publications [the 'National Asset Forfeiture Strategic Plan 2008-2012'], the government talks about bringing in $2 billion in forfeitures and returning only $700 million." Recouping Full Tilt funds will be "a long, drawn-out process to the point that you will need to be out five or six or seven figures for it to be worth pursuing. The system is set up so that you are discouraged from going after your money..Plus, look at what you're exposing to get back what belongs to you. You have to wonder if it will turn into a tax case."

Celebrating New Years Dutch-Style

Apparently Carbidschieten (carbide shooting) is how the Netherlands ring in the new year.

Basically, a small chunk of calcium carbide and a little bit of water is placed in a metal milk churn. The carbide decomposes into acetylene and a flame is held up to a small hole in the milk churn. The resulting explosion sends the lid of the milk churn across a field and much fun is had by all.

The Next Gun Control Angle: Insurance

Megan McArdle discusses an idea making the rounds - requiring liability insurance to own firearms. I think she dismisses some of the concerns over this a little too easily but in the end she believes it would have a negligible effect on gun ownership. In terms of pure insurance I would agree since an NRA membership already gives you a certain amount of liability and theft coverage. Jazz Shaw seems to have completely missed the point that McArdle was estimating the effects of this policy if it were implemented.

The Journal News Doubles Down so their competitor, the Rockland County Times, Goes After Gannett Execs

Well since the Journal has seen fit to pierce the personal privacy of perfectly legal gun owners, I see why no reason why Journal News employees and Gannett executives shouldn't have their own privacy pierced. It's all available from public sources anyway so let them explain why their info is sacrosanct but private gun owners' is not.

DailyKOS: Hey Lets Have a War Against Gun Owners

And of you'll need a police-state apparatus to deal with all the NRA-criminals:

The very first thing we need is national registry. We need to know where the guns are, and who has them. Canada has a national firearms registry. We need to copy their model. We need a law demanding all firearms be registered to a national database. We need to know who has them and where they are. We need to make this as easy as possible for gun owners. The federal government provides the money and technical expertise, and the State police carry it out. Like a funded mandate..
Now we get down to it. The registration period has passed. Now we have criminals without registered guns running around. Probably kooky types that "lost" them on a boat or something.
...I'm not so concerned with the guy who bought that bolt action Mauser a decade ago and doesn't have anything registered to his name. It's a pretty good possibility that he sold it, gave it away, or got rid of it somehow. And even if he didn't, that guy is not who I'm concerned with. I'm concerned that other guy who bought a half dozen assault weapons, registered two hunting rifles, and belongs to the NRA/GOA. He's the guy who warrants a raid.

Bob Owens Responds with What You'll See in the Rebellion

Let me explain, gun grabbers, how your confiscatory fantasy plays out. Let us imagine for a moment that a sweeping gun control bill similar to the one currently suggested is passed by the House and Senate, and signed into law by a contemptuous President. ...Tens of millions of Americans will refuse to comply with an order that is clearly a violation of the explicit intent of the Second Amendment. Among the most ardent opposing these measures will be military veterans, active duty servicemen, and local law enforcement officers.
...After a number of carefully-planned, highly-publicized, and successful raids by the government, one or more will invariably end "badly." Whether innocents are gunned down, a city block is burned to ash, or especially fierce resistance leads to a disastrously failed raid doesn't particularly matter. What matters is that when illusion of the government's invincibility and infallibility is broken, the hunters will become the hunted.
Unnamed citizens and federal agents will be the first to die, and they will die by the dozens and maybe hundreds, but famous politicians will soon join them in a spate of revenge killings, many of which will go unsolved.

You know, we should probably do some 2013 predictions, either today or tomorrow.

Here's one from 2012. Oooo -- so close:

Mitt Romney will be the GOP nominee, and Marco Rubio the nominee for vice president. The Romney-Rubio ticket will win handily, an outcome made very easy to predict on election night when Pennsylvania goes Republican by a wide margin.

12 The left pretty much always want a war against the Dreaded Other. And when they have enough power, that switches to an extermination, like in Russia or Cuba or North Korea or China.

18 The proportion of taxes paid by the 1% is meaningless. Suppose George Bailey never lived and Mr. Potter got to turn Bedford Falls into Potterville, where he has all the money and everyone else is destitute. In fact, they are all so poor that everyone's income in Potterville is below the personal exemption level, except Henry Potter himself of course, who pays 100% of all the taxes - no matter what the rate of taxation is. Don't you feel sorry for poor old Mr. Potter?

Have another, they're small:

The House GOP majority will expand by a few seats, but the Senate GOP will pick up Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, and one additional Â“surpriseÂ” seat while losing none. Scott Brown will win handily in Massachusetts.

39 Can we stop with the rebellion stuff? It's an unrealistic fantasy. If the government tried to grab guns, the would have their alphabet soup agencies go in, and they are more powerful than almost all militaries on the planet. And msot gun owners will comply because going to jail or worse isn't worth the destruction of their families. If shooting starts, then Obama and friends can call in plenty of welfare addicts who are just itching to play Grand Theft Auto in real life... and they will be given free reign to do whatever they like, since everything will be blamed on "radical reich-wing militas" anyway. This will not end well...

Why do I get the feeling that they aren't concerned so much with WHAT somebody has, as they are are with WHO has them? One thing I concluded with leftists a long time ago, is that they aren't really anti guns. They're just fine with armed communits, socialists, various ethnic gangs and what have you. For the Social Justice, of course. Maybe I'm just cynical?

65 So, yesterday I bought my first handgun, I'm just waiting out the background check. I've shot plenty of times, and enjoy it. I have a couple of buddies that have lots of guns and we've always used theirs, so I've never seen a need to own one, but that's changed. In the end I went with simple and reliable, buying a Glock 19. I tend to prefer a 1911, but my wife is comfortable with the Glock, so that's what I got, if we only have one, I want her to be comfortable with it( when I told her, she told her friends "Hubby bought me a gun! Uh...no. I bought a gun that you can use. ) I'll get a .45 for myself next, but first I'm going to take my buddy up on his offer to help me build an AK, he's done it lots of times and has a whole gunsmithing bench. Anyone know if AK receivers are selling at the same rate as ARs?

68 I see nothing inherently wrong with the ultra-rich paying the lion's share of the federal budget. They obviously have benefited disproportionately, so why shouldn't they pay more?

Government subsidies to education
Government subsidies to infrastructure
Government paid defense
Government paid Law enforcement
Government paid everything

This country has prospered on the backs of the working and middle classes....so why shouldn't the rich pay more?

Because they are white and privileged?

80 And, yes, the majority Conservative government here got rid of the long-gun registry although pinko Quebec is trying to sue the (Conservative) federal government to make the (Quebec?) information available for their own provincial registry. There are estimates that half the long-arms were never registered to begin with.

BTW, the Liberals said the registry was just going to cost a few million and it ended up costing two billion. (There was probably money laundering going on for the Liberals through it too.)

Handguns have been registered since IIRC 1921. I don't know how up-to-date it's kept for things like private sales between individuals. And just like liberal American states, tougher licensing laws here don't stop crimes or multiple shootings... oddly enough.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at December 30, 2012 06:36 PM (GsoHv)

Whether or not Congress passes some ridiculous national gun registry, most of the Federal Circuits would strike it down. It would clearly be in contravention of the understanding of the 2nd Amendment.

The real test would then be what the Supreme Court would decide. So the fate of freedom will once again hang in the balance of a 5-4 vote, and whether Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy stay healthy for another 4 years.

People here have mocked Kennedy in the past, but I really sense that he dislikes Obama on a deep personal level.

How did the rich benefit more from that?

Part of being wealthy has always been that you could have stuff like security because in the days before there was such a thing as police the wealthy still had guards.

It is the poorest who have benefited the most as they now casually expect stuff to be provided that was solely in the realm of the wealthy not that long ago in the span of history.

And there is one huge fallacy in your list of 'Government paid' stuff:

The government has no money except what it confiscates by force of arms from those who actually create wealth. Whenever you say 'government paid' you really mean 'paid for by the wealthy without any say in how it is used or wasted.'

I'd rather have an elementary school run by a group of wealthy people with an eye towards producing future employees. They wouldn't place actual skills below 'self-esteem' in their priorities. Their school would be required to educate in practical matters first and foremost. Some commie wants the teachers to organize and start teaching socialism? Fire them all.

I doubt that many gun owners are willing to get into a huge shoot out, and sacrifice themselves and their families along with them. I also doubt that many gun owners have the means to wage a rebellion. Houses will be taken and assets will be frozen. How and where will they live, even if they were willing to throw everything else away. Most people are in a state that any radical change to their life, income, &c. will be disastrous. There are plenty of leftists who would love to play revolutionary and would be willing to get their hands very, very dirty with people's blood. Rather then be successful, and plausible rebellion will be used as justification for the far left to go hog wild with implementing their delusions. I honestly believe that many of the far left would turn out to be worse then Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, and Hitler rolled up into one.

And it takes time and effort and meticulous attention to detail. And used brass is starting to run low as dumbasses have been selling it as scrap (worth more as used brass). Depending on the caliber you may get 5-20 tries out of it, if you don't lose any. The projectiles are still the expensive part.

I bought a Saiga 7.62 x 39 sporter model rifle on the cheap a few years back. I am not a gunsmith, but I wanted it to look like an AK (the Russian company that makes the AK makes the Saiga [same lower], but the version I have looked like generic EBR). The main thing to keep in mind is the number of parts you have to swap out for American parts if you want it to still be federally legal. There's a million checklists online that will help you do it. I bought the right number and type of American parts and brought them to a gunsmith, and he did it for me. I bought unfinished wooden furniture and stained it a pretty awesome Russian red and replaced the plastic crap. It now looks like a (semiautomatic) AK, which it essentially is, and it takes AK mags.

It was a thing of beauty until that tragic boating accident.

124 Seeing Vasquez Rocks in a movie or TV show is always amusing to me because it is just a few miles away. We go there to walk the dogs several times a year. The article wildly underestimated the number of productions that have used the site. Many avoid showing the most familiar formations because they've become such a cliche. But it's a rare day when we've gone there and not seen somebody doing some work.

The area around Thousand Oaks gets used a lot as well but is less likely to be recognized. It was pretty funny as a kid seeing the movie Demon Seed and it showing our local City Hall as the location housing the villainous AI, Proteus IV. The whole theater broke up laughing and order was only restored by a nekkid Julie Christie.

I also doubt that many gun owners have the means to wage a rebellion. Houses will be taken and assets will be frozen. How and where will they live, even if they were willing to throw everything else away.

Maybe ten percent of a resistance will be shooters. The rest will be busy supplying ammunition, food, safe houses, explosives, etc. And even those shooters won't have to do it full time. A couple of guys who go to work every day, go to church, and once in a while they go out and blow up a cop car, kill a politician or bomb a government building.

The US is too big for the Federal Government to successfully control without a massive increase in forces, especially since many state and local governments will be divided. Local police may not actively side with the resistance, but will look the other way to activities, especially if the rebels don't do anything locally. The only way that the Feds will be able to exert influence is to massively increase their forces, either through conscription or through foreign military forces.

The Founders weren't keen on throwing a war against the then most powerful nation on the planet back then. It took many years of building frustration and offenses. And a major portion of the European colonist population did not side with the rebels. The war that created this nation was fought and openly supported by a minority of those living here.

Taking up arms against the Crown was a far less palatable idea then than now. We've made uprisings against tyranny a cultural touchstone. It permeates out popular fiction. Look how often dealing with a problem is sold as a War On X.

181 Hat, I think you're underestimating the chance of rebellion. This isn't a tax increase or forcing a religion to violate deeply held beliefs, bad as those are. True confiscation (as the krazy kos kiddie is advocating) would be a pure act of tyranny and a pissing on everything the Constitution stands for. Most philosophies, religious and secular, have the tenet that there is no need to obey an unjust law. Many, many people would refuse to allow their weapons to be confiscated or their homes to be searched for weapons. They'd do it peacefully to the very end, and I think most of it would be caught up in litigation hell, but if the government went in guns blazing against its own peaceful people to disarm them, you would see a substantial percentage revolt. There was a story in the sidebar a week or so ago--it was an estimation of roughly how many guns owners there were. Can't remember the figure, but lets say 75 million people. If 1% of them revolted, that would be 750,000 people--I don't know how big Red China's army is, but that's the only military of any size that could rival it...and that's assuming a percentage as low as 1%. Not to mention, as noted, the tens of millions of sympathizers they'd have. It's why it's not going to happen. The tyrant is a tyrant, but he has not shown himself to be stupid.

Now, if there's another 1994 AWB? Nah, nothing will happen, except a lot of dems get voted out of office in 2014 and the thing gets gutted.

John Locke:

And thus the Community perpetually retains a Supream Power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any Body, even of their Legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked, as to lay and carry on designs against the Liberties and Properties of the Subject. For no Man, or Society of Men, having a Power to deliver up their Preservation, or consequently the means of it, to the Absolute Will and arbitrary Dominion of another; whenever any one shall go about to bring them into such a Slavish Condition, they will always have a right to preserve what they have not a Power to part with; and to rid themselves of those who invade this Fundamental, Sacred, and unalterable Law of Self-Preservation, for which they enter'd into Society. And thus the Community may be said in this respect to be always the Supream Power, but not as considered under any Form of Government, because this Power of the People can never take place till the Government be dissolved.

We'll see if this principle means anything in practice. Soon, I fear.

Those gangs do not an army make. They're a tiny minority in their own communities as wolves need a large multiple of sheep to get by. It would not take much to collapse their organizations, such as they are, because they are accustomed to dealing with police forces that go to great lengths to take them alive and preserve their civil rights.

If a bunch of Bloods start staging confiscation raids under the guise of home invasions, those who fight back are not going to be concerned wth reading them their Miranda rights. And how well do you expect the average bunch of gangbangers, who produce a remarkably low body count for the number of shots fired in cities like Los Angeles, to stand up against anyone who is former military or LEO and keeps in practice?

Remember when Harry Reid lied about Mitt Romney, saying he had evidence Romney was a tax cheat? Where's Harry Reid's evidence? He never had it. He lied. And for no good reason. Democrats lie. They always lie, they lie to everyone. Democrats out in America need to come to terms with the irrefutable fact that their Democrat leaders are lying to them. Democrats tell big lies when little lies will do. Remember when President Obama lied and said doctors were amputating children's feet instead of treating them? He could have simply said he didn't think care was good enough. But he pulled out the biggest whopper of his presidency to trick you into supporting Oabamacare. Democrats are lying to you now. The big lie now is that Republicans don't want what's good for the country. They are lying when they tell you they do. They don't and they are lying to your face. The truth is, Democrats are enslaving black children under a debt they will never repay. They are enslaving poor children in substandard schools. Democrats are lying when they say taking away your gun will make you safer and keep you free. And they are lying to you when they tell you that you can get the amount of government you want if we just raise taxes on other people. President Obama is coming after you. He will take your money that you earned and spend it in ways you would never want it spent. He will use the IRS and the EPA and a hundred other government bureaucracies to steal your freedom and your future. And Congressional Democrats are in lockstep behind him to steal from you and to steal from America. He's lying to you. Because Democrats always lie. And I will not accept any deal that favors what they want because what they want is bad for America and America's children. Today, the house has passed a budget that America can afford and we've adjourned for the session. The president and his followers can pass the budget as is or they can be responsible for the worst tragedy of Federal government in living memory. We'll see you all in 2013.

245 Can we stop with the rebellion stuff? It's an unrealistic fantasy. If the government tried to grab guns, the would have their alphabet soup agencies go in, and they are more powerful than almost all militaries on the planet. And msot gun owners will comply because going to jail or worse isn't worth the destruction of their families.

If shooting starts, then Obama and friends can call in plenty of welfare addicts who are just itching to play Grand Theft Auto in real life... and they will be given free reign to do whatever they like, since everything will be blamed on "radical reich-wing militas" anyway.

This will not end well...

Posted by: The Political Hat at December 30, 2012 10:21 PM (Vk2pI)

The wrong is strong in your post. The alphabet agencies are not nearly numerous enough to take on the populace that would resist. There are less than a million badged, gun carrying law enforcment nationwide. And they are not nearly as well armed, nor as well motivated, as the people they would be facing. And welfare addicts are welfare addicts because they don't want to do the work. Do you really think they are going to risk their lives?

Many gun owners would turn in their guns. But a sizable fraction would not. And they outnumber all of the LEO, Active Duty, and Reserves by a large margin. On their own ground, with the ability to cut off the supply lines the .gov depends on.

There is a reason the liberals fear the gun owning populace. And it isn't because they own guns.

Its because they cannot beat them in a stand up fight. And that is why they constantly attack them, trying to wear them down to managable levels. It hasn't worked.

Okay, here's one. My step-son was visiting over the holidays. He broached the subject of Sandy Hook and had some vague notions that "gun control" might be a good thing to keep horrible events like that from happening. I walked him through the issue from my perspective, since he acknowledged he didn't really know much about guns or gun owners, etc. He seemed receptive to the discussion.

Then- this same compassionate soul declared that the mother of the shooter got exactly what she deserved! I asked him if he knew some facts that weren't publicly available because there are a lot of unknowns and mis-reported facts about her involvement. I couldn't refrain from saying, "So you would just summarily execute her without any discovery of facts?" He said, "No, I didn't say I would shoot her, I said she deserved to be shot." My response- "Oh, so you would have someone else summarily execute her on your behalf." That was pretty much the end of the conversation.

I had over a thousand in tourney bucks, stolen by the gubmint. I keep hoping they will legalize poker play and I can get my stuff back. And as much as I detest that human shitstain Barney Frank, he was a leading proponent for legalized online poker in Congress.

Before you answer that, ask someone from Russia, China, North Korea, or Cuba. I know it doesn't look much like it could happen here, wait until the money is worthless and the government is handing out AKs to gangs here instead of Mexico (OH WAIT, they already did - Operation Gangwalker). Don't get me wrong, it's a horrible idea to fight back. It's just that the one and only worse idea is not fighting back.

How much immediate danger are you willing to put your young children in to avoid "surrender and cowardice". I am happy to support the second amendment in many ways, but knowing that the ATF seems to have little problem shooting 14-year-old boys in the back...well, I have a hard time seeing myself or most other normal, law-abiding parents of young kids running afoul. Sorry. That really is the practical thing at the front of my brain.

Posted by: Jenny Tries Too Hard at December 30, 2012 11:37 PM (b+8h9)

Flip side of that is, how many in the ATF have children they are willing to sacrifice on the altar of their job, versus the right of the People to keep and bear arms.

Many of the men and women who fought for our independence were willing to put their children on the line, and did. Why should we be any different? How can we do any less? What is being proposed would disarm our children in the face of an ever more powerful government. Would you see them disarmed just when they need arms the most? Would you see them herded into camps? That is what happens to a disarmed populace. Time and time again; time immemorial.

320 It's time for an abbreviated version of my Ray Lweis rant: He grew up a thug, and as such hung around with thugs. He was an extremely talented thug with the disciple to make use of that talent while still hanging out with thugs, One of said thugs killed a man. He was there. He lied to the cops. These are all bad things. He was charged with murder. The prosecutor dropped the charges, because the evidence showed he didn't kill anyone. (unlike other high profile murders, Duke lacrosse for example) He realized that he could either be an NFL star, or hang out with thugs. Not both. He chose NFL star, and by all accounts has lived a good life since. Is he a "role model"? Not to me, but I don't have any role models not named dad. (well, maybe a few, but they all have the Medal engraved on their headstones) But is he a bad human? No. He made bad decisions, but he fixed them. What more can you ask of a man?

330 The House and Senate Ag Committees announced today they had reached a deal to extend the 2008 farm bill (which expired in Sept.) for another year. This, it is claimed, will prevent milk prices from shooting up in January.

What isn't being talked about is that the deal will also fund other ag subsidies, and especially the biggest spend in the bill, food stamps. The House had previously proposed a cut in food stamp spending of nearly 10%. The deal still has to be approved by both parts of Congress tomorrow which is not a certainty in the House.

But we know they will fold. They always do.

Related is this article about EBT fraud:

Earlier this year, an owner and a cashier at Glenwood Food Corp. in Canarsie, Brooklyn, were arrested for ringing up bogus transactions... A federal sting found the bodega was recording phony purchases on EBT cards, handing customers about 70 percent of the amount in cash Â— and pocketing the rest. Goods were rarely exchanged in the scam, which defrauded taxpayers out of $985,000 in two years...

Before you answer that, ask someone from Russia, China, North Korea, or Cuba. ------------ That's just it---a disarmed US is not China, and it's not slavery. It's shitty, it's horrible and remarkably less safe, but it's not (yet) China or Cuba; it's more like Australia or the UK. Which I don't want, but I don't think is a fate worse than death. If I had to be in the actual "surrender your guns or face an ATF raid" position, and there wasn't a safe way to get my kids out I don't know if I'd choose putting them in immediate danger over living in a country where there is going to be a higher rate of murders, and where the government will tend more toward tyranny, but where they'll probably remain alive and reasonably well into adulthood. But, yeah, I think about things like this more than I probably should. I've thought about Cuba in particular and, while I'd put my child in immediate danger by putting him/her on a raft to Florida, I probably wouldn't put him/her in the sort of immediate danger we're talking about here---where the potential pay off is *maybe* changing the government's mind rather than escaping such a wretched government. I'd put myself in that sort of danger, but my kids under 14? I'm not sure.

What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

338 Thanks, GnuBreed, for the uplifting article to desprit me even more. The only silver lining I had was milk prices. Dairy farmers are paying so much for feed right now, thanks to ethanol, mainly, that milk prices will be going up anyway because there will be a lot of dairies going under. Not only feed, and other costs like trucking etc. But Obamacare is going to hurt a whole lot. I envision many smaller farms saying fuck it, and getting out with what they can salvage. Might be good for consumer beef prices, though, as they sell their herds.

Or do you think the American Revolution was fought in neat lines along a well defined battlefield where everyone went back to their camps and had grog and song until it was time to fight again?

Both sides killed defenseless people, and yes, even babes in arms. Its war. Stuff happens. Or are you now marching on DC because our drone strikes have routinely killed children?

372 Sorry Maet. Will lighten up.

Its just that people want their cushy life and refuse to understand that there is true evil that will take it away. And they'll negotiate all the way until their blood runs in the gutter, astonished that it turned out that way. Astonished, even though history repeats, over and over and over again.

I saw a family of 4 just last week at the range. Cutest looking little blondie girls and mommie I ever did see. Requested a stool for the 10 year old so she could see over the counter on the lane. And there little Annie Oakley fired away on her 22 long rifle, hitting every target laid before her. Her little sister, all of age 7, stood behind in awed silence as big sissy fired down range. This family understands. They have empowered their little girls. I'll bet they're home schooled as well.

That is one way to approach whats coming. Another way is to tremble in fear, hoping to be eaten last.
Jenny's choice.

In 64 years these spineless shits couldn't update the original law to reflect farm modernization. Easier to pass a yearly fix and keep the dairy lobby's donations coming in.

Too bad only a handful of madmen and malcontents actually do them. We don't have an economic model for radical reform, they do. There are large number of people who work as a solid bloc and many of them are paid by the government to push their agenda, and do it in their spare time. We don't have anything like that. And I agree with you, revolutions are horrible and almost never produce anything but horror. I wouldn't expect another one to. But we're experiencing a slow-motion revolution now, and we don't have a plan to deal with that, so the other side is winning. The schools, the media, the bureaucracy, the economy.

The problem is -- like so many other problems -- the gov't screwed the pooch on the first iteration (New Deal), got bailed out by WWII rationing, then threw a bandaid on it in 1949, then passed a "temporary fix" in a farm bill, which "temporary fix" was extended by the "Bush Tax Cuts [and assorted congressional pork]". So now when the "temporary fix" is ended, things don't go back to a free market (which would work), but instead to the latest fix to the socialist garbage that was temporarily overridden by WWII.

419 353 Derak, care to answer my question? Would you genuinely let your kid die rather than surrender your gun if, Heaven forbid, you were in a Waco/Ruby Ridge type situation?

Posted by: Jenny Tries Too Hard at December 31, 2012 12:06 AM (b+8h9)

Sorry, didn't see this earlier. Tough question. My child died at 3 months, so I'm not sure I'd like to see that happen at an older age either. Rips the heart out with a spoon, over and over and over again. Never ends.

Ruby Ridge happened in my "neighborhood" so to speak. The ATF was at fault, was rouge, and the Weaver family was literally ambushed by the federal government, shooting both Vicky and their son with sniper fire for a trumped up weapons charge trying to get them to turn evidence on the Neo Nazi compound at Hayden. Which, by the way, he had very little knowledge of.

At the age of 30? Perhaps I would relinquish, I'd be happy to surrender and hope they didn't beat my and my families brains out like they did in Cambodia.

At the age of 50? I'd hoped I'd educated my kids to the point where they could make a choice. Free? or Slave.

You make a good point. I would conclude that because of it, we will be disarmed come next November.

424 #331

You need to learn more about the people who make up this administration. It isn't China or Cuba but it is a definitive step along the way. And there aren't that many steps once the government believes it enjoys an exclusive on coercive force.

Take a good long look at the people who raised and mentored Obama, and look at the miasma of murderous intent in which his beliefs were brewed. These are the hard core of the left that was pushing for a violent overthrow of the government throughout most of the 20th Century. Towards the latter half of the century they realized they could achieve their goals better by slowly infiltrating and replacing the government.

Leftist Hollywood has made HUAC to be the greatest home-grown villain of all time but rarely do they mention that many of those brought before Congress were in fact Communists and many in the pay of Moscow. (If Voldemort in the Harry Potter books was smarter he'd have spent decades subjecting the magic using community to books and movies decrying the terrible persecution of Death Eaters.)

Do you get annoyed at the prospect of being made to pay for other people's birth control? Well, Obama's science advisor, John Holdren, has gone much farther than that. He wrote a book advocated that the government forcibly administer birth control to the population at large and require licenses for having children.

There are now people in high office, in very high appointments, or just with access to those people, who once thought it acceptable to openly calculate how much of the US population would need to be killed outright to reach the state of government they thought preferable. Obama announced his first run for political office in the living room of such a person.

Look at the last 70 years and note all the incredibly bad policies that have become SOP for our government. All of this was push for by leftists playing a long game. Every time we give an inch they're already at work taking the next inch.

At some point you run out of space to retreat.

How many families in place like Germany and China ended up packed in trains to places from where they'd never return, because the parents felt they couldn't resist while the children could be threatened?

445 Derak, I'm sorry to hear about your child. I think we understand each other better now. I, too, hope and pray that my kids will make the same choice I would with regards to safety and liberty...but while they are still kids (and mine are only 6-11) I don't think that those of us who would put our kids' safety ahead of some of our principles are necessarily cowards. Like, when Randy Weaver did surrender for his surviving kids' sake, he wasn't being a coward. And then the "ATF kids" thing came up and I can't resist bait...

446 At some point you run out of space to retreat. Posted by: epobirs at December 31, 2012 12:31 AM (kcfmt) Long past gone, my friend. In a way, I'm kind of glad I didn't know that until later. I can imagine how I would have turned out if I had known that since I was little. But some of the clues were there, I thankfully didn't add them all together until later. When I was a kid, they were using "Delphi techniques" and "change agent" training to manipulate children and control behavior in schools. Not to educate, not to give people tools to be better in life, but for another agenda - a false utopian vision, a desire for power and control. I grew up around these people. They really did that. Even now, if you talk about it, you're a kook, no matter how many of their own words you shove in people's faces. Too. Stupid. To. Live. Free.

447 AZ Hi, do you seriously know anyone who you think would be willing to kill a child solely because that child's father is an ATF agent? Is this person also Timothy-McVeigh-crazy?

I'm not talking about dropping a bomb in a legit war and shit happens; I'm going from where you led---an ATF agent being forced to choose between his job and his child being "sacrificed on the alter of gun confiscation".

Maybe I'm nuts, but I do think that the right side is not near as willing to kill their innocent women-and-children countrymen as the wrong side.

Posted by: Jenny Tries Too Hard at December 31, 2012 12:21 AM (b+8h9)

Here is where you don't get it, ma'am. The ATF agent confiscating guns today guarantees your grandchild's enslavement. A disarmed populace has always ended up under the heel of totalitarianism. This has never been not true. So, you are willing to trade that ATF agents children's lives for your own grandchildren being shot in the back of the head at the edge of a ditch?

You live in the now. Its okay if we give up our guns now, because we don't have a totalitarian government. Yet. But you are willing to give up essential freedoms to make yourself feel better, and disregarding what will happen in the future. You are willing to gamble with their future in order to make yourself feel better.

Do I want that to happen to their kids? No. A million times, no. But if they make that choice, will it happen?

For my four current grandchildren, a million times yes. I will fight and die so they do not have to. I swore an oath to defend the US Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic.

Oh, and what is your definition of 'legit war'? Because I would be most inerested to know.

In Cuba, you see people risk their kids' lives if there is a chance of getting *out* and I'd do that. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to say that I'd do literally anything for my country, my principles, my (and your) freedom...but if I'm being 100% honest I think I'd put my kid first, thinking mostly in the short term. Yeah, if the soldiers were coming to take my kid to a camp where I thought she'd probably live a life worse than death, I'd be willing to go out in a blaze of gunfire with my kid or slip her a pill---but other than that, I live in hope. I think most parents are similar, and that's a major reason why there wouldn't be the sort of revolution/rebellion that some were talking about in the unlikely event that guns were confiscated. I genuinely wondered where the rest of y'all with young kids would stand. But, it is unlikely and here's hoping none of us ever have to make that choice.

I know we've brought this up before but some here tonight might not have seen it:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266425/

I cannot recommend this movie enough. It is such a perfect example of the nice neighbor who'd be OK with murdering millions to achieve his goals.

This movie dramatizes the events of the Wannsee Conference in which the Nazi's Final Solution was laid out for various government officials. The conference was supposed to be for the purpose of devising a solution but the gears were already in motion and the plan delivered as a fait accompli. A done deal.

A large portion of the details were unknown for decades as all copies of the official notes were ordered burned. One copy was mislaid or secretly kept and discovered many years later. This brought out details that shocked many historians. But the part that really makes it horrific is after the conference, when we watch Adolf Eichmann (Stanley Tucci) go home to his lovely wife and enjoy the remainder of a pleasant day bicycling with her.

I have no difficulty imagining a modern version of the Wannsee Conference with various Obama appointees in attendance.

Holdren was the typical academic taking the wrong lesson from Plato's Republic. Nobody can say for sure if Plato was serious or making fun of his fellow philosophers who thought everything would be swell if there just granted absolute power, because after all they were the smarties who knew how everyone should live.

Holdren's vision is just Plato with early 70s technology woven into the narrative. Substitute climate change for overpopulation and you've got a quick update.

Going back farther, Marx was a failed trust fund baby. He blew through not one but two inheritances that should have kept him comfortable for life. He spent much of his adult life dependent on handouts from followers to survive.

And this is the guy the Left thinks worked out the real deal on economics.

But that is what money is. It isn't as coercive as being commanded at gunpoint but it is very powerful. Money represents work. Instead of exchanging goods or services for your own labor it allows you to instead offer somebody else's labor who has been recompensed by the same means.

539 AZ, just to be completely clear---I GET that war is brutal and children die. Got it. We didn't start out talking about war, though, and children dying from bombs being dropped on their cities. We (or at least I) started out talking about Ruby Ridge-type situations as part of a rebellion/resistance domestically. I'm NOT, nor have I ever, said that Americans shouldn't go through with an act of war if a child would die because of it. What I was talking about was people putting their young children in danger in order to hold onto their guns if there were a confiscation order or similar---if it escalated to civil war, that'd be different. In either case, like the London parents you mentioned above, I would do my damnedest to get my kids out before shit hit the fan, but (thank you History Channel) a Randy Weaver type situation was at the front of my head and seemed to fit the scenario others were talking about, so that's what I was talking about. But, to adress something said earlier, I don't think I agree that giving up guns today *guarantees* my children or grandchildren's enslavement, at least not to the point of giving up enough hope to justify young kids' immediate danger in many cases. I do live in hope, faith in God, and that's probably where our mileage varies, here. I don't think that the left lacks in evil---but I do trust that God in His goodness prevails over evil.

Well, if you want to bring God into it, I'll refer back to Genesis. There were two choices, Life and Knowledge. One meant an easy existence as an animal. The other meant awareness but having to overcome every difficulty by power of that awareness rather than expecting anyone to intervene on our behalf.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for divine intervention. The fact that I am capable of pondering the issue makes me responsible for my place in it. God may takes sides but there is little evidence of him taking action in recent centuries. That leaves this as a matter for humans to deal with for themselves.

Unfortunately, ma'am, you still think you can get your offspring out from under the Blitz, and they won't have to deal with the fallout. Because somehow you and yours are special. God does what He does, and not quite on your schedule.

But here is the thing. God has not shied from the killing of childern. At times he has demanded it.

But the reward has been free will. That has always been the goal. We determine our own Destiny. Our own Fate. That is the prize. And the price can be terrible. But it is always worth the cost.

Because we want our children to determine their own destiny. Not so that they should be bound by some desk jockeys' whim. Their own will.

Die for that? Why, yes. Yes I will.

Fight me for it? Try it, sweets.

567 epobirs, neither of us is likely to change the other's mind about what God expects of us. I think, at this point, that He might expect prudence and I am heartened by the way that Catholic nuns and priests stepped in for others (Kolbe) and smuggled children away during war, so I think He expects bravery from adults as well. I will admit I'm not sure where He stands on a situation like I mentioned, or where anyone stands, and that's why I asked. But I think we're all over the map regarding which situation we're even talking about---WWII London or Cuba 1996 or Ruby Ridge (FTR, that's the only one I was talking about( or San Antonio 2014---so I dunno. Whatever. If you would let your kid die because you think that's best for God and country, that's up to you. All I'm saying is that I'm not giving in to my own Internet-tough-lady and saying that I'd do anything but get my kids the hell out of dodge, even though I know it sounds shitty. Again, I hope we're neither one tested. *proffers cake* But here is some delicious red velvet cake I am willing to share in peace, coward that I am.

One of the aspects of the AIDS plight in Africa that casts doubt on the claim of how widespread the disease is, is that the population keeps growing. Some researchers have found it very difficult to make the numbers add up and conclude somebody is lying about either the mortality rate or the population level. One paper I saw suggested that if the deaths attributed to AIDS and wars were not greatly exaggerated, the average birth in Africa would need to be triplets to explain the continuing population growth.

Well, the precedent is now set. The Gov. CAN compel you to buy insurance. We know that much.

As conservatives we need to take advantage of this at the state level. Start compelling people to own guns, and impose taxes on anyone who doesn't and more taxes on anyone who doesn't maintain a concealed carry license. After all, if you aren't prepared to defend yourself, then you are freeloading off the rest of society who have to pay more for police to protect you.

The Second Amendment talks about a "well regulated militia"? Fine, then every male age 17-35 is now considered part of the state militia. Public schools are required to teach a year of weapons training, including use of a rifle, pistol and shotgun, as well as the basics of squad tactics.

Hell, require everyone to purchase "legal insurance" that pays the cost of an attorney if you are faced with a felony. That way the state doesn't have to pick up the cost of a public defender.

They said it was common for the women they interviewed not to know how many children they had, nor even when they where born. But they insisted ... many rural parts of Africa have only seasonal schedules for planting and harvesting so many people don't know the day of the week, et cetera. This might explain the difficulties in record keeping ...

One of the aspects of the AIDS plight in Africa that casts doubt on the claim of how widespread the disease is, is that the population keeps growing. Some researchers have found it very difficult to make the numbers add up and conclude somebody is lying about either the mortality rate or the population level. One paper I saw suggested that if the deaths attributed to AIDS and wars were not greatly exaggerated, the average birth in Africa would need to be triplets to explain the continuing population growth.

Posted by: epobirs at December 31, 2012 02:00 AM (kcfmt)

Or it suggests that natural resistance is rising in sub-Saharan Africa....meaning that it can repeatedly arise there in non-affected populations and repeatedly devastate non-Africans in 1st-world countries.

There's a 30' x 30' overlook for that view at Castle Crags, with picnic tables and such. I'd bet that the web image and mine were shot within 25' of each other -- and, BTW, there's a far shot of Mount Shasta that's at about 120 degrees from this, over your right shoulder.

Except it didn't and was never likely to do so. Widespread heterosexual AIDS is pretty much unknown outside Africa. The few places that do see it are mainly populated by the descendents of African slaves and may be largely attributable to IV drug use. This goes back to the theory that those descended from survivors of the Black Plague are more resistant and require overt behaviors to become infected, namely certain sexual practices, sharing of IV needles, and unmonitored blood transfusions.

Remember back in the 80s when mass outbreaks of AIDS among heterosexual non-junkies were due Real Soon Now? This was the ultimate ploy by fundraisers to get members of the low risk majority to care. A more rational suggestion would have been that solving the AIDS puzzle would also provide a great deal of improved understanding of things nearly everyone could benefit from having in the medical arsenal. But that wasn't as compelling as a looming threat to everyone rather than a tiny subset of the populace.

It took a unique combination of events for AIDS to become a problem in the developed world. The two big ones are air travel and gay rights activism. Neither was necessarily a problem on its own but the combination allowed very promiscuous gay men to visit places around the world and bring back their infections to share long before they got ill. The man long regarded as Patient Zero was a airline attendant who visited Africa several times for his job and was known to be very active sexually. He was probably not the first infected person in the US but the promiscuity in a society that newly allowed it is what theoretically did the trick of creating a critical mass of infections.

I suspect we're talking a bit past each other......I'm cognizant of the PR hype of AIDS and the facts, and how much each has been pitched to poor effect -- I do, after all, live just down the road from SF. But I'm also concerned that AIDS is a fairly mutable retrovirus and that evolutionary pressures can thus cause rapid differentiation. Similarly, with high human reproduction rates and low levels of survivors, human evolution can also move quite quickly.....all of which is present in Africa.

I'm not worried about it. For AIDs to become something genuinely scary to the majority of humans also requires it to become something that is self-limiting or harmless. From an evolutionary standpoint, the best way for HIV to achieve universal infection rates is to take the same path as many other viruses that nearly every human is host to: become highly communicable and essentially harmless.

How do you have high human reproduction rates and low levels of survivors unless the infection rate is very low? If not for the gay liberation movement, AIDS might still be known as GRID or still be so obscure as to not have a press friendly name. Preserved samples from patients who died of mystery conditions as far back as the 1950s have been found to be HIV infected.

It took a major societal shift to make AIDS a thing known to all. We know how to stop AIDS from spreading: Don't fuck strangers. Don't share needles. Don't perform blood sacrifices without gloves. Etc.

Yup, except for the fact that widespread AIDS did burst out of Africa onto an unwitting 1st-world transport system and rampage the globe.

I'm not big on whether it hits gays or straights -- there's folks I love and adore -- and hate and despise -- on either side. I don't react much to transmission -- sex (gay or straight or nouveau), transfusion, spit, whatever....but it's there.

I will also state for the record that the BATH-HOUSES in San Francisco were the DE-FACTO GROUND ZERO SUPER INCUBATORS for AIDS and the then MAYOR MASCONE shut the bath-houses down because it was known that the gays were having up to 50+ per person sexual contacts PER NIGHT in said bath-houses.

No, it didn't. The number of HIV infections in the US and similar countries was far less than the threat from other diseases. Once the blood supply was secured the real emergency was over. There would be no more Elizabeth Glasers infected by a transfusion and passing it on to her children during pregnancy, eventually killing all of them.

Once the blood transfusions became safe again, the chances of a heterosexual non-drug user becoming infected was exceedingly small.

Things like drug resistant tuberculosis are far more of a threat in that the chance of infection is far greater for the average person.

The Black Plague took out over a third of the European population. It created scenes we associate with apocalyptic movies where entire towns are completely deserted. AIDS at its worst was simply nothing like that level of threat. If it had just been needle sharing aka poor IV drug users it would never have become a big cause because it would have lacked a worthwhile celebrity body count and a highly affluent cadre of the Professionally Concerned to make it a big deal. There would have been a few heroin using rock stars succumbing but chances are most of them would OD and die of that before a disease was noted. (Who knows how many such might have been infected as it is?)

There are tons of nasty infectious agents out there and that is just the ones we know about. We can only estimate how many remain undiscovered.

You've likely read Richard Preston's books, The Hot Zone and Demon in the Freezer. If not, get them. They are great for inducing infectious disease paranoia and making you wonder how we ever made it this far. Ebola is an incredibly scary disease and we have no idea why a more virulent hasn't appeared and wiped out big swaths of humanity.

But I'm more concerned with those actively seeking to do me harm rather than the possibility of being felled by a natural occurrence. I can only do so much about the later by supporting research. Being concerned about the former is more a matter of personal responsibility.

At a guess, I'd apply the same rules as for condoms. Don't expect any material made from animal hide to be impermeable and prevent contact with skin or worse, breaks in the skin. Also, don't overestimate the size of your hands and end up with poor fitting gloves that fall off at a critical moment.

I've always been a bit put off by the very concept of sheepskin condoms. Seems like a gateway to bestiality. But then latex could be viewed as a gateway to RealDoll ownership.

728 Kind of pumped today. I had given up hope of finding another complete AR for my kid (Who loves my stag) and the M1A I have been wanting since forever. Went to my local gun store bought the Binelli M2 tactical, told them jokingly hey if you ever get an M1A let me know. put my name in their book. I go down to buy ammo for the M2 at Wallyworld a few miles down the road and get a call from Reds (The gun store I just left) I am there within 2 minutes swoop in and by a Stag Model 2. While Im there, Red comes in and I make some offhand comment about how I'd be in heaven if they just had the M1A. He tells me, well we just got one in at the North Store. I got them on the phone right then. So if things go as they should I have an M1A match tomorrow morning. Excited!
