   Still waiting to hear the troll’s view of that forum I posted about. I am sure they have all gone over there and perused the site, along with at least one of them signing up to post.

   Why, I was at least hoping to hear one of their usual apologist comments such as, “This is just one site. Hardly a movement” or, “This is something the Conservatives put up in an ever increasing effort to discredit Obama…the nasty racists.”

   Unfortunately, there are more sites like this that are popping up, and there are still thousands, if not millions more that feel the same ways, but have decided to keep it amongst their “peers”.

   I now honestly believe we are closer to some sort of new “Civil War” tan ever before. Granted, I am not saying it would be a shooting war, per se, however the divide between both sides has never been greater than now since 1861, and it is growing wider ever more every day.

   Just read the quotes on that forum and then think about such things as these “volunteer” organizations, as well as his Neo-Gestapo. Then wonder if we are getting closer to something that would make 1861 look like a minor scrap in Congress.

   Thanks Insomniac–I am all for Title 5:

   5 ‘‘Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education

   As I am teaching the Next Generation marksmanship, safe handling and proper cleaning and storage of firearms. Perhaps I could send BroBama a Gift Membership in the NRA, Gun Owners of America, Second Amendment Foundation and other fine volunteer organizations to say “thanks Bro”.

   Good Bye America-you will be missed.

   The Obama Forum? You actually think that is a legit site?

   HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

   I have seen that before. It was apparently set up by Ron Paul supporters. I believe they did the same thing with Fred Thompson. Anyone with half a brain would spend five minutes on that and know it is a parody site. Heck, you could look at the sponsors and see one of them is the “Democrat” party and know this is a joke. Though no doubt some people wander over and post things in earnest either anti or pro Obama. Poor, simple people. Like Ret, apparently.

    What was this about “stimulus”? Not only are the chickens homing home to roost but the cows seem to have run dry. Dear Leader BroBama when will your Benevolence sweep over the land and make all things right? When will these counter revolutionaries stop denying your true Magnificent and Exalted Being ?

    1. Dress in a very spiffy manner.
    2. Play basketball in a really spiffy manner.
    3. Throw really spiffy Wednesday cocktail parties.
    4. Laugh and laugh in the face of despair, bankruptcy, and ruin.

    According to Obama last night, our standing in the world is drastically improved since he was elected.

    Lets see if this strategy works. Beat Americas leader down to zero, then replace him with Obama, nowhere to go but up, then claim the mantle of progress because you are better than zero. Luckily, there are a lot of Americans that are smarter than that. Just not the ones who voted for Obama.

    We already have a civilian national security force. It is described in Title 10, Chapter 13, USC.

    Agreed, the unknown issue, to me at least, is whose command I/we would fall under. The first thing the sissy politicians in IL, where I live, would want to try and lock my weapons up in an armory someplace. That’s a serious issue, because i am sure that would be the first thing they try to do if a militia comes out into the open.

    Forced compulsory service would be next.

    Illinois wouldn’t be bad if you could get rid of Chicago and Cook County.

    The state militia is nominally under the command of the governor. However, the Law of Land Warfare acknowledges what is known as a levee en masse where inhabitants of an area rise up spontaneously to defend their homes from invaders. These groups normally elect their own officers or just follow the guy they think will have the best chance of success.

    Any governmental organization that comes to collect my firearms in violation of the Second Amendment, which the Supreme Court ruled was an individual right, could reasonably be considered invaders.

    Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. The Second Amendment and the militia are our civilian national security force. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!!!

    Chap, the sad thing is that Ret. is far from dumb. That’s why I don’t understand how he can think something like the following is legit:

    For the youth today it is hard to understand parents who don’t support Obama. This is common for many of the young people of this generation, just as the youth back during the civil rights era had parents who just didn’t understand the racism like they saw it. Many of you are struggling with the fact that your parents just don’t get it. They don’t feel the same about Obama the way that you do. They still cling to their old ways of guns and bibles and greedy capitalism. You know better. You know that Obama, and the Democratic marjority, can run things better than those greedy corporations. You know that the best way to run an industry is to nationalize that industry.

    That is why this thread has been created. For you, the future of our nation, to let us know who your parents are. Tell us the names of those who do not support Obama the way that you do. Let us know if your parents own guns, or wish ill will toward the government. Let us know before it is too late for you and too late for your country.

    It is the patriotic thing to do. Let the government take care of this problem for you.

    List your parents name here.

    I mean, you really expect him to believe that just because there was a site called “The Fred Thompson Forum” that was outrageously over the top, which then was exposed as a hoax, that a site that, entirely coincidentally mind you, is called “The Obama Forum” which is outrageously over the top is a hoax too?

    That is weak, Mookie. And exactly the type of response Ret saw coming even before this thread was started. He is THAT omniscient.

    One vigilant House member, GOP Rep.

    GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx is one of the best there is in Congress!

    Congresswoman Foxx doesn’t get much credit for it, but she was one of the handful of Republicans (including Hoekstra, Culberson, Pence, Shadegg, and other GOP House revolutionaries) who stood their ground and started the first “Tea Party” last August when Nancy Pelosi moved to shut down the House and silence their revolt.
