All it takes is a smile, a pleasing manner and you can have friends all over the world, Specky. :-D

What books have you read lately? Mien Kampf? Eichman's classic "Murdering Jews for Fun and Profit"? A bit of Ayn Rand? Milton Friedman?

The Erotic Confessions of Margaret Thatcher?

Perhaps Ronald Reagans noted autobiography "I Can't Remember being President."

Pray reveal all. The masses await with baited breath to know what works of erudition decorate that awesome mind. :razz:

Manifest destiny has never died. There is a small percentage of the US population that are the 21st century "savages" taking the place of the American Indian (although living up to the great ones is almost impossible). I am in this group. There is a vision of a better freer, healthier sustainable way. Manifest destiny is pushing. The only way to survive eventually will be defensive violence. Spend some time out of the dead zone. go to the Oregon Country fair. Observe the path of death from the outside. Its sobering. And as A-Ron said its all about $ and capitalism. I am a "savage" biker. to them savages still exist. The only way to stop them when resources decline below there overbreeding and overconsumptive ways is to blow their fucking heads off. have to defend your food sources ya know. Its a culture of death. I will never be part of it. ever. blaze those fucking guns. Ed Abbey was and is great, seldom seen.

Theres a very good chance those Abrams rolling over the hills towards you are coming to provide assistance and NOT to direct fire on you.


You mean like these in Texas a few years ago ?

Many here have entirely too much faith in the govt and the military. A study was done on the Marines a few years back that showed a significant percentage would have no trouble turning their guns on US citizens if so ordered..
This is pretty damning, you have to admit, specop. The tanks are coming to assist? flash to Waco. Brilliant kochevnik. A sociological study of the loyalties of American troops would be interesting to read if you can remember what that study was. Another important question though is what the officers think, mid-level and at the top.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', '
')By the way KS, since the US already has the highest rate of incarceration in the world, just how many more people do you want to imprison? Stalin would be proud of you.


Yes he would. The difference is that he imprisoned people just because he could. I would only imprison them if they posed a danger to society, or undermined the Constitutional Republic. Yes, that means I would have locked up all of the "YES" voters for emminent domain, as well as Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxor, Dianne Fienstien, John Kerry, George Bush II, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and thier sympathysers. Yes, I said it. I would institute politicall prisons. They would be well fed, as they are still citizens. (unless they side with the enemy, then off to Guantanamo they go!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'A')ll jokes aside this stuff about guarding people's rights with guns is rather hollow.


Why, do you really think your little peice of paper, (or peices of paper), is really going to amount to a tinkerer's damn when/if your government becomes a totalitarian regime imprisoning people for *god knows what*, putting in "work camps", demands you surrender your farm for the collective good, restricting movement with internal passports, demands you work for free for the advancment of the collective, and starts executing all political prisoners? You better save that document. You are going to need toilet paper after all.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'G')un ownership has not prevented the Patriot Act taking away a good part of people's rights and laying the foundation for a future Gulag state.


You know why don't you? The American population has as a group lost both the means and will to fight. As I stated earlier, the federalies could probably make dissent a capital offence, and the population would not utter a word simply because "It dosen't apply to me."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'T')o return this thread to a more savoury, not to say constructive, direction I submit the following.

Techniques of progaganda, arising from mass-advertising, have reached the stage where they verge on mind-control.

Consider the last twenty years: the American working people have seen their Unions smashed, their jobs exported, the living standards decline, their job security and conditions eroded, two presidential elections stolen, and a clique of neo-fascist maniacs take over the country without most of them rioting in the streets or even apparently noticing much.


Replace "Neo-Facist" with socialist globalist sympathysers, and I agree whole heartedly. But I would also go one step futher, and say MSM IS mind control. It keeps the people pacified, and unwilling to even care if the nation turns as totalitarian as the DPRK. So long as American Idol, Survivor, Big Brother (how apt), and the Superbowl are on, there is no threat of any massive revolt.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'T')hey have even managed to recruit some of the victims of this relentless class-war to foam with hate not against their persecutors, but their fellow victims and those few clear-sighted people who have tried to stop all this.


What class war? I haven't noticed anyone shooting at the rich simply because they make more money. Verbal slander is not war. Envy is not war. Laziness is not war. Living on welfare and sitting on your ass is not war. A government big enough to give you everything, is also big enough to take everything you have away. As evidenced by the recent decision regarding emminent domain.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'N')one of the beinghted cyber-space superheroes, whose Onanist antics have so amused us on this thread, want to go and shoot the Republicans and the Rightist pressure-groups who have done this to them, but the Liberals, the Blacks and the Arabs and any other irrelevant scapegoat that the corporate mass-media has inserted into their dim minds.

Some Republicans are RINO, and they need to be thrown out of office, publicly humilated, and have thier citizenship stripped from them. They are as big of a problem as the progressives. As far as the blacks, I don't care what they do. Arabs, I just watch like a hawk whenever I seen one. I don't trust them, and I never will. Even before 9/11, I was uncomfortable around them.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'T')here is of course a large element of personal stupidity in this, but a large element of manipulation also. If you can get people to drink poisonous Coca-Cola, buy nutrition-free breakfast cereals, unhealthy snacks and drive uneconomical, unsafe, shoddy cars, then it's not far to go to get them to blame Liberals for the devices of the Conservatives.:roll:

Likewise, it is not hard to brainwash a majority of the population to believe that getting money you never worked for via income redistribution is a good thing. They are also brainwashed to believe that no man has the right to defend his life, family, home, property, and nation. Police cannot be everywhere at once, unless you want to be like the DPRK. Even there, there is canibalism, so even they don't have "complete security" down, and they are the most isolated nation on earth.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'D')ivus et Impera. It's as old as Rome.

Also works good for knocking out insurgent forces too. Encirlement works also.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'S')o, to my Confederate Degenerate sparring partners here, I say: you've been had, gents. You're on the wrong side in the wrong war.

Better dead than red, you communist.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'M')icky Mouse is Dead. Your masters want to eat your flesh.

Stalan and Karl Marx are dead too. The USSR has collapsed. Your communist dream is dead. Lenin had a saying for you people, "Useful Idiots". You really have no idea what you are supporting. Sickle and Hammer sound familiar?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'I')t doesn't matter how many guns you have if you've lost control of your own consciousness.

The thing is, I am actually thinking. YOu are believing the big lie pushed forth by the likes of CNN, ABC (America), CBS and CRI. So, how long is tht potato line today, Comrade?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'T')he first step to liberation should be the destruction of your TV and the opening of books.

Hell, it might as well have already been done. I haven't watched any significant TV in over a year. The last show I even watched was that one about Yellowstone blowing up.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Macsporan', 'T')o those sane and stable people like Ladyruby and others I say, in the words of J RR Tolkien, "awake from fear and put aside the imaginations of Darkness."

I agree. I didn't take into account body armor, artillery support, and air support. About the only way it could be done is using geurilla warfare.

Hey K_S, Mac is in Australia. He knows as much about America and its politics as Japan knows about growing wheat. I dont know why you waste your time agruing with someone living under a socialist regime with no rights whos directly descended from theives, pedophiles and murderers. Its of no use, he'll only continue to flame. He really should be banned, as he contributes NOTHING.

Moving on though. The military would be divided. If it comes to revolution i fully expect to see tank on tank and plane on plane battles. There are those in the military who know the oaths they took, and would not turn those guns on civilians in the event it was ordered by a oppresive government.

It would be ugly. But the point is, if we have guns we have an option. We can fight. If we dont? Well, the Jews faired pretty well when Hitler took away all their guns....right??.........

I dont know, maybe far enough into an energy depleted society the military would simply cease to be an effective controlling force, or perhaps it would be too streched out to pacify any area. But divided? Only if officers in the upper military decided to go against the system that has benifieted them so greatly. The US military I know probobly wouldnt be divided unless the rebellion was long, drawn out, and mostly successful.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')bout the only way it could be done is using geurilla warfare.


Absoloutly, rest assured if a revoloution is anything like watts in '92, it'll end quickly. We would need a tough leader and plenty of cannon fodder, and if it survived the first few months, maybe it could eventually succeed in stretching the army out too much between the home front and overseas. An empire is only as strong as the faith its citizens put in its ability to put them down.

Wow! The flames in here are so hot that I did'nt even have to light the grill tonight. I just slapped the steak on the monitor for a couple minutes..

Really, I have one small thing to say. The same people that tell you that declawing your cat is inhumane because it leaves the cat defenseless are the same that want to take our guns IMHO. What does that make you? Less than an animal IMHO. I have some cats and I would never declaw them even though they use their "guns" from time to time to let me know where the limits are. I try not to challenge them because it hurts... think about that.

Yes, and covert operations is the way to minimize risk upon the attackers, and also maximise your effectiveness. Just think about it. What is easier to strike, a refueling station, or some random rail line out in the middle of BFE by use of a couple M1000's and a cutting torch? Personally, I would prefer to go after the rail line installations, or roadway bridges. They are almost ungaurded, and you would have up to 24 hours to set up the operation. The national infastructure is actually very insecure. I really don't feel comfortable giveing any more details than this. I am already bordering on sedition.

KS; its really nice to hear a truly illiterate, abusive anti-communist rant. Honestly I felt a tingle of nostalgia all over my body.

For a moment I thought I was back in the golden days of my youth back when the Cold War was still hot and everyone wore platform shoes and flares.

I agree with you of course that excessive welfare payments and socialism are a great threat to the US and the world, particularly those forms of corporate welfare that permit openly corrupt no-bid contracts for psychopathic multinational arms corporations and banks which shield them from the salutary discipline of the marketplace; permitting them to make disgusting profits and irresponsible loans to 3rd World despots knowing that the taxpayer will rescue them if things go wrong. :x

The socialism practiced in the US armed forces is especially deplorable, what with jobs for life, free medical and dental care, not to mention a free tertiary education.

Your tax dollars support these business-suited parasites and their ne'er do well breathern in uniform (many of whom are black firearms murderers) and I'm glad you refuse to countenance them: it makes you my kind of man.

Socialist subsidies paid to US farmers to keep out 3rd World competiton are pernicious and should be abolished.

Socialist tax exemptions to churches and the obscenely wealthy also have to go. :x

You might want to get behind Ralph Nader next election. I'm sure he could use your help.

Seriously though I'm sure you see now that it is not a matter of Socialism vs No Socialism but simply who gets the goodies.

America has Socialism for the Rich and Capitalism for the poor. If you think this perversion is for you, please stay where you are and be happy, if you can.

Just don't get sick, or jobless as a result of some irrational economic cycle, let alone PO.

Although you wouldn't know a communist if you woke up drunk in bed beside one, allow me to put you straight on one little point.

I am a mixed-economy man. Free enterprise tempered by government regulation in the public interest, fixed exchange rates, Bretton Woods and all that. This is the most successful system of political economy ever devised. Your homework for tonight is to find out all you can about it and report to the class on Thursday.


I am proud, Specky, to be an Australian and we have many rights: I am particularly fond of the right not to starve to death whilst unemployed or sick and the right not to have my head blown off by obnoxious paranoids.

Come out here and see for yourself. You might even get a tan on your pasty white flesh. And by the way, I'd much rather live in a country founded by petty criminals than one founded by mean-spirited and brutal religious fanatics.

And I don't troll; that's what you do. I just taunt cowardly windbags and hold them accountable for their inane rhetoric. :razz:

While I'm taunting you: I'm sure you don't read books, unless you count comic-book adaptations of "Team America". The ignorance you display on just about everything you talk about comes not from books but Faux News the whackjob websites you keep posting. :roll:

If you are so unhappy that people here are not receptive to your ill-natured reactionary bombast, why don't you join your fellow neanerthals on Free Republic and similar public cesspools? Or have you been kicked off there for being too foul even for them?

If so, contact me at once. I'll tell them you don't mean it: that your really a resentful poltroon who was bought up without manners and without dignity. I'm sure they'll let you back if your vouched for by someone like myself who is so obviously your intellectual and moral superior. I'm sure in time they'll learn to pity you as much as I do. :razz:


In summary I don't know what either of you are doing here. Your contribution to PO is negligible and most of your posts consist of unedifying displays of impenetrable bigotry and stale, old whackjob propaganda. My own theory is that you are Republican stooges paid to disrupt this forum.

This incidentally would explain why you like all the other lily-livered chickenhawk Republicans are keeping yourselves warm and safe in Mommy's bed in the US at a time when your country needs you to fight Muslim "Terra" in Iraq.

Far be it from either of you to lead by example or put your precious selves in danger, or heaven forbid, stand up for what you claim to believe in by hard deed rather than cheap word.

Despite this, don't give up. In the fascist concentration camps of the future that your whackjob friends will organise, there will be a place for the hateful and the gutless.

Combining your twin interests of hating Liberals and firearms you can get a job shooting people in the back of the head, dangerous work but someone has to do it.

:-D :razz: :roll:

Organization of gun owners into gov't supporting paras

Unread postby tivoli » Wed 13 Jul 2005, 16:51:45

Of course , I am of the opnion that the 2nd won't be repealed but actually leveraged by a right-leaning gov't to "support" like-minded gun owners ( any one have numbers on gun owner demographics in terms of political sympathies ) organizing themselves into paramilitary units that carry out extra-judicial activities in the name of "law and order". No need to field a large domestic army when you have "neighbors" policing the area.

:twisted: One only needs to look to our South American friends to see how gov't policy can be support by these type of players...

Possibly, but even then anyone owning a gun not involved with the paramilitary forces will likley be harrassed, effectivly eliminating the 2nd amendment for all non government sympathizers.

Wrong, any government should be wary against allowing paramilitary forces complete control. They tend to commit serious crimes simply out of boredom, and enough atrocities will cause revolts anywhere, and gun toting citizens can deal with light infantry.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE WON! That is, you have won position #2 on my Ignore list. You will have to supply your own lifetime supply of shit now. Ban ban ban ban, ban ban ban ban, BAN!

Also, please begin walking ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN to China for your vacation. Renember to wear your concrete shoes, and smear yourself with shark bait before you begin your jouney. You won't be needing to take oxygen tanks on this trip. Water will support you just fine. Yep, that's right. I don't have to say what I am trying to convey. Unless your IQ is below 70, you should be able to get the hint on what I want you to do.

Then again, your IQ probably is below 70 just judging from your posts. Were you a product of incest by any chance? I bet your sister is your aunt and mother, while your brother is your uncle and father. Just do society a favor, and realise that you are too stupid to continue living. You are nothing but an oxygen thief. You are wasting my air by sustaining your life any further.

Now, go start on that walk to China, you waste of DNA. I'll bet when you were born, your mother slapped herself, and your father cried. I hope you got whipped as a child, you deserve it just for breathing the rest of humanity's life sustaining oxygen. In closing, I want you to ponder this: How many people will be happy when you die? I sure will be. And if you are as stupid in person as you are online, I can imagine the city you reside in will throw a parade to celebrate the death of the annoying pest.

KS--You are a very silly person.

I will not put you on the ignore list as I find you amusing in a twisted sort of a way and its always nice to know what the poisonous reptiles of this earth are slavering about.

I rather enjoy your big pictures you keep posting.

Please continue: if I was an inarticulate stumblebum with nothing much to say and not enough wit to say it, I'd post lots of pictures too.

Peace and Love,
