   New Black Panther Party bus from the Philadelphia Chapter arriving in Boston on January 18?

   Everyone have their video cameras ready.

   If the Dems try to steal this one then the gloves need to come off. A free society can only exist where there are free, honest elections.

   If they try to steal that basic right from the people, then the trigger point has been reached for massive civil disobedience to take place. We shut the system down.

   The types of voters they’ll be picking up to take to the polls are the ones who would forget that they were told to vote for Coakley and see “Kennedy” on the ballot and put an “X” by his name.

    flyoverman you are precisely correct. rational people try to obey the laws and bring grievances to court or the court of public opinion known as elections. but when you can not have a fair election, and the courts won’t dispense justice because they have become political partisans as well, then civil disobedience is the only recourse given by our founding fathers.

    Yup. It means that any officials of any organizations involved in the vote fraud should have their businesses and homes surveilled, watched and protested to make them uncomfortable. It means all illegal activity needs to be videotaped.

    Most importantly it means Brown himself needs to be willing to fight tooth and nail, if and when the cheating happens..

    We own a small business, we pay for health insurance for ourselves and our employees. We don’t have “cadillac” plans, they dont even include vision coverage. But because our premiuns barely meet the “cadilac threshold, we are now subject to an onerous tax.

    When Attorney General Eric Holder gave the New Black Panthers Party a walk for voter intimidation he sent a clear message: we will do what it takes to win so don’t mess with us.

    This is exactly the kind of tyranny our Founders warned about. We have seen SEIU thugs attack and attack our citizens with the full knowledge they will not be held accountable. When we can not count on the government to defend us-when that government is indeed the enabler of those attacks then it is our God Given Right and Dut, to defend ourselves, our families, neighbors and the Republic itself.

    With this terrible convergence of ills: huge debt, high unemployment, government run wild, criminal gangs running whole sections of cities the possibility of societal breakdown is greater than I have ever seen. I do not intend to go quietly in the night. If you live in a city or a state that restricts your means of self defense you might want to consider Concord/Lexington. Your Rights as a Free Person do NOT come from the political elites.

    Williamsburg, Virginia takes some umbrage too. Revolutionary zeal was endemic to almost all the colonies. The Brits decided to punish Boston and push the issue. While the bigger skirmishes were Concord/Lexington and Bunker/Breeds Hill British troops did march on the armory at Wiliamsburg.

    But General Washington did decided to form his army with the Massachusetts muster outside Boston and then New York. I imagine that is why we understand the Revolution to start there. I must admit before Chappy’s link I had never heard of the Neo-Whig – “Ideological” Interpretations.

    Yes, that is a union guy for Brown in one of the pictures. Turns out the tax on Cadillac health plans would be hitting the union members in the wallet, so many are actually voting for a Republican.

He can’t contribute anything other than a speech and a few “hang in there, help is coming” remarks. Is anyone really in charge there? Besides, I doubt Haiti would give permission.
