Maybe the Leftists in Indiana are just plain meaner. I've met and talked to enough of the Left to convince me that a Second Civil War, while unpleasant, would probably consist of bombings, kidnappings, assassination, and such other tactics as suit the sort of detestable little sneaks that Leftist are. And to convince me that it would be a good thing if the Left loses a Second Civil War. <br /><br />You may, or maybe won't, interpret this to mean that I'll be stopping by the Seven Eleven every morning for a 64 ounce Double Gulp (lemonade, orange soda, Mountain Dew, and Sprite combined in various proportions depending how the mood takes me) on my way to the converted school where I sit behind the tripod mounted machine gun, reading and eating Jalapeno Doritos, waiting for the Community Hygiene Volunteers to bring up the next batch of Former Americans for their Graduation Ceremony. <br /><br />I suppose you've got this "donkey/elephant fight", two-branches-of-the-ruling-party thing thought out to your satisfaction, but I sure would like to see the Libertarians get it together enough contest a town council or mayoral election and win, or maybe take over a county Board of Supervisors. Until we have some example before the country of Libertarian governance, Libertarians will be the sidewalk kibitzers of American politics, and will not be taken seriously, nor would they deserve to be. I wouldn't mind an experiment in government by Libertarians; if it worked, and was a better way to run things, I figure I and the rest of the country benefit. Until that happens, you all just keep on talking--it's not as if any force on earth could stop you, Libertarians are real good at talking, especially about what parties who win elections and run things are doing.<br /><br />It just now occurred to me that watching libertarians deal with one of their own who actively wants political power might prove to be a humorous evolution. Please don't mention You-Know-Who, until a libertarian doesn't have to cowbird his way to office by raising a false flag, there won't be much respect for libertarians.<br /><br />Mike JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-48794531528404713622012-03-05T05:04:43.384-05:002012-03-05T05:04:43.384-05:00Quick is, usually, reasonable but someone check hi...<i>Quick is, usually, reasonable but someone check his patella, that knee jerked so fast.</i><br /><br />Try disagreeing with him more often, Unc.

Would not Eric Holder and the DOJ start looking into whether it was Hate Speech?<br /><br />Substitute "Republican" with either Black, Lesbian, Muslim, Jew or Democrat (you get to Choose), and the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ would be all over it like White on Rice.<br /><br />And that's where Bill is DOA. When the Ranter is at that Level, there can be NO "Civil Discourse" with that Person. They have publicly declared their Hatred, and I doubt that even a "Road to Damascus" Revelation would work.<br /><br />Why YOU would be declared the "Bad Guy" in this is beyond me. Or does "Civil Discourse" mean we can't call out Haters anymore? Freedom of Speech and Expression is a Two-Way Street, and if Haters want to Hate, then they need to feel the "Heat of the Kitchen" (as Harry S. Truman once said). Or else we should all just get our Party Membership today and start stringing Wire for the Camps.<br /><br />What's Sad and Disgusting is the Fact that Sensible People are looking out their Front Doors and drawing up Range Cards for their Neighborhoods. What the Heck has happened to the Republic that we even need to take those measures into account? Not Good.<br /><br />All I know is, that if I'm near Roseholme and Insanity breaks out, that I can be allowed to run to your place for Shelter. It be much safer there than out on the Streets.
