I just don't bother to actually engage them substantively because there is no substance in their arguments. That guy's posts are just all ad hominem attacks with no facts. There is no way he has anything intelligent to offer.

He rouses me politically just like Palin does! Would it be cheating on my husband to say that I love that man! And I too wish I could vote for him. Maybe someday we will have that opportunity. From our lips to God's ears!

Seriously? Do you have anything better to do?

Well said! Maybe we should just stop feeding this stupid troll. He's probably the low man on the the totem poll over at the Daily Kos or Media Matters and was told to come on here and start this crap with us. Hey Dumb Truck, go back to your masters. You have no sway over us here.

I won't hold my breath.

Or are you only kissing the butt of your soon to be Muslim masters because you think they'll just kill you last, or maybe not at all if you turn in more and more infidels? You are a pathetic little troll.

I can see them slowly trying to take over the economy and turn it more socialist, but out and out hard tyranny. I won't say it can't happen at all, but the chances in America are quite small. We are born and bred freedom fighters. We always let it go so far before we pull back and say ENOUGH! So, while I do say CONSTANT VIGILENCE that's not the thing I'm most worried about.

We are not Britain or Australia. We won't hand them over without a fight. Most of us won't and it doesn't matter who they send to collect them - cops or military. Either most cops and military won't obey, or there will be a blood bath, sad to say. I just really don't see it happening. The world can sort of side with Obama on certain things, but visions of Americans being shot at and dragged away by some kind of neo-Fascist regime I don't think is going to sit very well with the rest of the world, or garner much sympathy, and unless Obama is ready willing and able to take over most of the rest of the First World and keep them from helping us defeat the tyranny, I really don't think it's possible.

I'll definitely order soon then! :-D Mon, 5 Jul 2010 23:34:31 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2010/07/05/its-the-liberty-stupid-big-peace-launches/#IDComment85043548 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jphillips/2010/07/05/independence-and-the-right-to-private-property/#IDComment85035811 Beautifully written Mr. Phillips. I've been trying to get this across to a self-described Progressive on another message board for several days. I just linked him to this article in the hopes that his alleged "tolerance" will shine through, he will read it, and hopefully see the light. I won't hold my breath though! ;-D Mon, 5 Jul 2010 22:30:40 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jphillips/2010/07/05/independence-and-the-right-to-private-property/#IDComment85035811 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2010/07/05/its-the-liberty-stupid-big-peace-launches/#IDComment85034013 Edski, Thank you for that information! I will definitely pick up that book. I only took one class in college - intro to Economics, but due to my listening to a lot of conservatives on the radio and reading here and there on conservative blogs, I have learned a great deal. I would like to learn more. Can you tell me though - is it a relatively easy read in terms of being a lay person? I'm not much of a math person so if it involves too much math, my brain will shut down. That's why I went to law school! LOL! Thank you in advance for your response.

Saving butts in WWI and WWII, especially in WWII where Europe diddled with Hitler and let him take over most of Europe?

It is beautiful! It should be printed out in pamphlet form and distributed like the freedom pamphlets of old! Mon, 5 Jul 2010 03:55:54 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jhudnall/2010/07/04/4th-of-july-john-adams-a-must-see-miniseries/#IDComment84823935 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jhudnall/2010/07/04/4th-of-july-john-adams-a-must-see-miniseries/#IDComment84822103 Immigrants, especially those that come from tyrannical countries, are the best ones to teach our children the meaning of freedom. We are like spoiled children. And didn't one of our Founders already make a statement about that? I could swear they did. The more I read about our Founders, the more I am humbled and amazed at how brilliant, though still flawed they were. They had what we seem to lack today - WISDOM. They understood human nature and it's frailties, probably because they were flawed and frail and they knew it, as opposed to our current President who thinks the sun rises and sets in the crack of his rear end. I haven't seen this series yet, but I think I will have to watch it. And yes, the risked all and many signers of the Declaration ended badly and/or their families did. It is a shame that this country should disrespect the sacrifice they made by giving up on freedom for what we believe is our security (which is just the nanny state). God Bless America!

And thank God for that! I wouldn't want to feel really weird about him and Robert. ;-D Sat, 3 Jul 2010 03:46:11 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jhanlon/2010/07/01/review-new-twilight-movie-eclipses-predecessors/#IDComment84472225 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2010/07/02/thugs-from-jimmy-kimmel-show-torture-pro-life-activist-with-hot-spotlight/#IDComment84407086 I'm a lawyer, but I don't deal with this kind of thing so I'm not sure. The only time I've heard of "walking away" is for self-defense purposes and that is in lieu of fighting back unless you are cornered. The boy was not fighting back, he was just standing there. I can't imagine the law would expect a lawful protestor to move because some thugs were assaulting him. But the larger point is this - if he moved then the bastards would have won. I would not have moved either. The union thugs are bullies and if you give them an inch they will take a mile. That boy was brave. They were all brave. God Bless them. P.S. The leader should have waited for the cops to arrive. I believe him to be innocent of any charges, but he should have waited for the cops and then I think they would have been in a better position.

I mean, the Tea Party is barey out of the gate and there are accusations of racism and violence, based on ZERO evidence. When I first heard that, I felt like I was living in Hitler's Germany or Communist Russia. I agree that the Left is pushing us towards this. That is why Glenn Beck and others have been telling us to remain calm, to use MLK and Gandhi as our guides. It's hard for me, as I'm rather, well, passionate. But we must. We cannot be the ones that fire the proverbial "first shot" or we will lose all credibility. We must show ourselves to be the adults in this conflict. And then we will win the hearts and minds of most Americans and be able to turn our country back to its founding principles.
