You haven't been on CD for a while. Several states have exempted guns manufactured and sold in-state from federal regulations.

One simple reason:

Because they want a dictatorship.

Patriotic Americans they are not.

I don't think so.
I really believe they want to overthrow the Government, but then, what's next?
Do you really think they want a dictatorship?
I think they want something different, something more disparaging. They want to repeal all social programs, e.g. social security, medicare, unemployment insuance/compensation, public housing/assistance, and so forth.

Remember? They want to take back their country, for whatever that means, or for whatever that's worth.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
That about sums it up for me.

Obama and his dim leaders (And kool-aid drinkers) are throwing everything they can at these average, freedom-of-speech loving Americans.
The Tea Party members are a crackpot, low class, angry group of people who should shut up and go home.

But they still hold the same rights to freedom of speech that we both hold dear and important. To shut those people up would be taking away their rights of freedom to assemble and of speech.

What we can do, is change the station if we do not like what we are hearing, it's that simple.

I watch most all of MSM, and when they begin reporting on dissent and tea baggers, I find a movie to watch. I also exercise my right to vote for the best person for the job, or who I think will do what we want.

It's a shame we didn't live back in the times when social security was signed into law, because history states people talked and acted much like they do now, with the fear tactic and with malice intended for lawmakers. Not much has changed, but, people can change the message they are listening to in order to receive different points of view.

The comment was meant in sarcasm.
