3. I thought it might be that Michael Savage "call to arms" against Obama's "reparations"

Homeland Security is monitoring the wrong people.

It bugs me how the rightwing constantly cuts off survival needs for people that really ought to start a revolution for the people who lose access to food and housing. These are the people that the Rightwing always demands to get "tough on crime" against and needs to call out the National Guard against their protests (because they are "rioting&quot .

Yet every time they feel a cultural "threat", the far right thinks they have the "liberty" to pull out guns, cry "revolution", and start mowing down random civilians.

What is wrong with this picture?

By giving in to NRA whining, we are putting guns in the hands of these hypocrites who want to hog the capacity of revolution for themselves. They want the guns to put down the "riots" of the poor people they don't want to feed. They regard the "right to bear arms" as prudent self defense against the 47% takers who are threatening to implement redistribution via class warfare. The confederate flag marked their territory, but now it's been taken down. Equality means more take-aways, so the takers can expect to be met with vigorous armed resistance.

People who stand for decent government regulation, public infrastructure, civic space, the common good, community benefits, and any sort of public sphere need to STOP PUTTING UP WITH THIS NONSENSE.

Individual liberty is all-American, but it stops at the point of interfering with the liberty of others, harming others, and undermining good governance of your City, State, or Country - in other words, the Commons which we all must maintain together. Get the guns the hell out of the Commons.
