THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
― Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Tom Brokaw on the Tea Party movement

 I found this ant thought it was a rather good read.

  

Former TV anchorman Tom Brokaw characterized the Tea Party movement this morning as 'prosperous people trying to hang on to what they have.'
Appearing on the MSNBC 'Morning Joe' show, Mr. Brokaw cited a New York Times poll which found Tea Party members:
• Held an unfavorable opinion of Barack Obama--84%
• Disagree with the way Congress is doing its job--96%
• Rate the economy fairly bad or very bad--93%
• Rate their own household financial situation fairly bad or very bad--20%
"So you've got prosperous people trying to hang on to what they have," Brokaw concluded, "and they have learned to organize."


 The article included the CBS/NYT poll.
