- You're fooling yourself if you don't think that the Federal government will renew its efforts to renew a highly-aggressive version 1994 "Assault Weapons" Ban. For those that are unaware, Joe Biden was driving force behind that bill, and Obama has supported related legislation in the past (surprise!). With a democratic majority in the House and Senate and Pelosi at the helm, look for heavy taxes on ammunition, "scary features" bans, and licensing/registration/State-issued identification for firearms-owners.
- Not one, not one person I talked to that supported Obama could articulate the reason supporting their vote for Obama beyond "the lesser of two evils" argument, or, worse yet, the "Hope-Change-Magic-Fairy-Dust!" argument. Yes, this is anecdotal evidence. I believe the vast majority of his supporters may not consider themselves Marxists, but tacit support is still support.
- I'm still expecting trouble regarding Obama's inauguration... It's just a suspicion at this point. The birth-certificate issue is still not fully resolved, although that may not be the catalyzing event.
- Just when I think I've reached the bottom of my estimation on the critical-thinking skills of the American public, something both fresh and horrible assaults my sensibilities, and I am forced to reconsider it. P.T. Barnum had this place figured out a long time ago.
I seriously doubt there will be any gun-ban attempts any time soon. The Dems have been burned too many times on that.
ReplyDeleteI also don't think anything will come of the whole birth certificate thing. Whether Obama is a bona fide citizen or not no longer matters; he was elected, and as far as the government is concerned, that is that.
I'm not so sure, as they might take the election of Obama/Biden as a mandate, and it's difficult, if not impossible, to find two more anti-firearm politicians in Washington.
ReplyDeleteI'm also reluctant to agree about the birth-certificate; the prols are too busy doing Kool-Aid keg-stands to worry about the details. And should something serious come down the pike, say, full-blown depression, they'll have forgotten all about it.
I need to get out of California. This is depressing.
"Kool-Aid keg-stands"
ReplyDeleteBetter poetry I have not read. I like that phrase!
As to the rest of this stuff--taxes, gun bans, nailing men's sacs to boards and hitching them to the feminist grist-mill, I say "scruduhgubbamuh!" It's sad, watching the slow death of our country. Even though we've been watching it for, say 140 years.
Thank you, I do my best. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm stitching a plan together right now for the coming years that has "Scruduhgubbamuh-through-better-living" as the main theme. I'll post some information later, when I'm happy with the post content.
