A short message for our marching, gun-toting friends…

1. Thaaank Youuu!

[Hoyt]

2. Exactly. They are patriotic and law-abiding when it suits THEM; otherwise, they are just terrorists.

[The Magistrate]

3. Hear Hear, Sir!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

4. AMEN!

Just Amen!

[TnDem]

5. Well...

Just because someone is elected and claims to be "patriotic", are we supposed to bow to them unconditionally because this bumper sticker/ad says that we must do?

Like I did for Dubya?

[baldguy]

6. Who said Duhbya was *elected*?

[TnDem]

16. I do

I saw my former Senator Gore, (who I met personally several times during my tenure as Democratic party chair in my county), losing Tennessee as he spoke.

He blasted the NRA and gun owners and thought that was somehow a winning argument...

All of my Democratic friends and I had a beer at the time and we agreed...He's fucked in Tennessee....And he was.

If he had won his home state of Tennessee, Florida wouldn't have mattered.

8. The Libertarian room

is down the hall, and to the right...

[freshwest]

10. Refugees? Same talking points on several theads now. Oh, well..

[billh58]

11. Yep, and he has

friends posting the same TP on several threads. Another infiltration of recruits/zombies?

[freshwest]

12. Possibly they are rummaging around the sock drawer for a fresh pair? IDK. It's icky.

[TnDem]

17. Allllrighty...

I joined this forum in 2004 and you joined in 2010...

I hardly thinks that makes me junior to you or anyone else...

Check my profile...I don't post on every single subject...I am much more of a reader than a poster.

However, I feel the exact same feelings locally NOW that I did in 1991 and 2000...

We will lose the mid-terms and presidential 2016 because Democrats from the northeast, (who do not understand gun politics whatsoever and won't STFU about it), will make southern Democrats either:

1) Not turn out to vote
2) Vote against the candidate that would be the best electable candidate for the state.

[The Magistrate]

14. So You Think Armed Rebellion Against The U.S. Government Is Not Treason, Sir?

"Enquiring minds want to know...."

[TnDem]

18. Actually

That would be "Inquiring minds want to know", correct?

Yours is an incorrect play on the old National Enquirer ads from the 1980's, (which I remember).

And my opinions about rebellions, armed or otherwise I have never considered or wondered about...That has nothing to do with this conversation?

I am simply explaining, that WE as a party will not keep the Senate majority or presidency in 2014 or 2016 if we do not STFU about guns...It will kill us in the south, because I hear it weekly.

If your goal is to lose 5-15 seats in 2014, then go for it....

I say avoid it right now by dropping it as a pseudo party plank.

[Martin Eden]

15. I can refuse to "bow to them unconditionally" ...

... without engaging in ARMED INSURRECTION.

I don't recall the left advocating violent overthrow of our government when GW was prez; do you?

[Hotler]

7. The only problem with that post is.....

every part of it should be in large bold letters.

[sheshe2]

9. K&R!

Thank you MrScorpio!

[11 Bravo]

13. Nicely said! Many years ago I swore an oath to protect this country from ALL enemies ...

foreign and domestic. These mouthy mother-fuckers appear to fall into the latter category.
