Just based on his speech at the memorial service (which was actually a pretty good speech, by the way) , it looks like President Obama is not playing the game the way some want him to:
The loss of these wonderful people should make every one of us strive to be better in our private lives - to be better friends and neighbors, co-workers and parents. And if, as has been discussed in recent days, their deaths help usher in more civility in our public discourse, [b]let's remember that it is not because a simple lack of civility caused this tragedy, but rather because only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to our challenges as a nation, in a way that would make them proud.
Just for the record, I think it's sort of tacky to hand out T-shirts prior to a memorial service. But I thought it was pretty significant what he said in the above quote. It sounds like he's telling Sheriff Dupnik, Matthew Yglesias, Paul Krugman, and many others, to shut the heck up.
The President seems to have learned his lesson. This is not 1995, and he is not Bill Clinton. But we'll see.
Onward and upward,
airforce [/b]I really hope that you are correct and this Tragedy does not lead to any of our 1st or 2nd Amendment Rights being taken from us, but if you are wrong I believe that we are going to need to come up with a battle plan to defeat them and do it soon.
I believe that if they try to use this, or successfully use this to further their Commie Agenda Patriots will need to finally take action and stand up for our rights, and I believe that action may need to be large Coordinated Peaceful Armed Demonstrations in every State.
And I mean large enough to outnumber the Law Enforcers who will want to stop us.
If we outnumber them and we are heavily armed then I feel that the Law Enforcers will back down, since cops are many things but Suicidal is not one of them.
But of course Peaceful intentions on our part does not mean an absolute guarantee that there will not be an Incident, after all the Patriots Assembled on Lexington Green that fateful morning did not intend to be the trigger event of a Revolution.
The problem we have is we are running out of options to save our Republic through totally Political or other Peaceful means, and when all Peaceful options fail then what is left but less then Peaceful means.
