A fine piece by Barone, who reminds us of things THE ONE has said that left open his techniques for getting information…

Ah, the left’s campaign in full swing now. The current framing is no longer that it wasn’t effective, it is that the effectiveness is “unclear”.

The only thing unclear would have been the air in where LA used to exist if the effectiveness of the interogation methods were unclear…..

Got to leave now. Been interesting and enlightening. Will read your blog link and get back at you. Looks as if you have some blogosphere presence as it stands.

Later…

Here in Arizona many of us are pretty much going to concentrate on denying John McCain the nomination in his re-election bid for 2010.

I wish you well, even as I doubt you can. McAnus’s Incumbent Protection Act (McCain-Feingold) is one of those structural reasons I keep referring to that will defeat people’s attempts to make any real difference in DC.

I support your effort, though, and may send money to his opposition.

When some twit defends these Reasonable Restrictions with “you can’t yell Fire in a crowded theater” thank them for their brilliant insight and ignore the twit.

Hey, don’t give them any more ideas. I hope you can make a dent there in AZ. I was wondering whether Goldwater was defeated after the ‘64 election. I don’t think so. This would put egg on McCain’s face, and that’s not a really bad thing.

In fact, I’m all for throwing the bastards out, no matter who or what party. It hasn’t been any particular party affiliation that has been the source of the problems for us. It’s been the entrenched against us, who are in the trenches.

Of course I’m a raging right-wing fanatic.

When I went to law school, I also took a joint MBA program. I’d been in business, and wanted to get my ticket punched for all I’d learned and all the self-study I’d done.

It had the collateral benefit of keeping me sane (saner…?), as law schools are pure socialist indoctrination camps, utterly detached from reality as it exists. Obama is a typical law school professor.

I have a piece on that subject at http://rags.blogtownhall.com/

I was active in The Federalist Society, which helped, as well.

Unfortunately, I am challenged in that technology, and have not found anyone to help me. I know I could pay for it, but don’t have the disposable income to do it up right. (It’s a myth that lawyers make a lot of money. Most don’t.)

I commiserate on your lack of web expertise. I am in the same boat. Good luck, fight the good fight. I would imagine in your profession it gets pretty effed up on a daily basis, dealing with the all the left-wing commie mofos that think they are saving the world, one war-crime at a time, or whatever they are into.

go for it AZ

thank you!

And to the other: yes all too many of us have been “cowed-agreed to-been reasonable” with and by the IRS and a whole alphabet of unconstitutional agencies, acts, bureaucratic regulations and such. Slowly, sometimes faster, they have been dismantling rule of law and the Rights of a Free People.

So here and now we have to say not only STOP but start to roll them back. Reasonable Restrictions on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Speech, Assembly and Property Rights have to be rolled back and repealed, the cowards who defend them voted out of office.

If you are to stay with the Republican Party-at least for the short term- get involved at the precinct and county level. There you CAN and WILL get together with fellow Conservatives to knee cap some RINO ideas and candidates.
Here in Arizona many of us are pretty much going to concentrate on denying John McCain the nomination in his re-election bid for 2010. Two fold: we want to defeat him AND if he does lead the ticket we fear too many Conservatives will stay home and cost us in other races-it has happened before.

I have to establish a web-site…that is apparent.

I have to earn a living, and even posting to this blog is costly in terms of my time.

Watch, though. I have to do this soon, and I’ll make folks aware when it happens.

Thank you again.

But I have literally been modeling this idea since about 1992, when I first saw the handwriting on the wall in very clear terms.

I realize that you cannot explain your ideas on this blog post, but I would be interested in learning more about them; if only to critique. I’m still not convinced that there is a peaceful solution, although I hope that there is.

So how would I learn more? I understand that there is there is a problem with giving contact info.

Well said, sir/madam/thoughtful person. I was absent the day that the rules of WAR were taught. I always thought it became a war when the rules of civilization went out the window.

Now we have lawyers deciding if it’s OK to launch a strike against the enemy. WTF???

If we are In a War then aren’t we supposed to WIN it? If not, then I guess I missed that day too.

Hey, I’d be willing to see another plan such as yours, whatever that is. But I’ve been watching this sh!t go down for the last 40+ years. It doesn’t look promising, and the end game is getting pretty obvious and obnoxious and noxious.

We agree on all that. I find it very frustrating to read posters here who advocate doing what has been PROVEN not to work, and are so blind they cannot see the structural reasons it CANNOT work.

It is in response to obvious reality that I suggest a change in tactics to try something EFFECTIVE.

Do I KNOW it will work. Of course not.

But I have literally been modeling this idea since about 1992, when I first saw the handwriting on the wall in very clear terms.

Since that time, I put myself through law school, and I gained considerable insight into our tax system on the practical level.

People in the U.S. have been conditioned to be cowed by the IRS. Much…maybe most…of what they fear is myth. That is by design. I KNOW this, from first-hand experience.

Civil disobedience has to have a moral backing. Part of its power comes from the moral object lessons that complacent people see as it plays out.

I think it has to be tried, because if it works, it avoids what you and I both fear…and foresee…befalling our people.

For that reason alone, it is totally worth the risks, which are manageable and can be mitigated, IMNHO.

Watch for this. I only ask that people give it place in their thinking.
