yeah thats because the PBS is ran by colleges and universities which get their funding from the crooked politicians in Washington DC. They are alreay censoring the patriotic news on campus as well. but I think if they are required to give equal time to all parties, they won't be able to push their liberal agenda but so far. At least as far as political campaigns are concerned. I could care less what they do the rest of the time.

taxes are just getting ridiculous. NYS tries to tax goods bought online now.

Ohio has been trying that one for a couple of years and it get shot down like a Japanese Zero everytime.

The state laws on handguns are getting were they need to be too. We have a been pretty vigilant as of late and things are improving. Now if we could only get the FedGov to pay attention.

Yeah right!

The FED won't start paying attention until we are rioting in the streets (the way they are in Iran), and lead is flying through Washington DC.

One person brought up that we may see rioting in the streets soon. Be careful with what you do and be quite judgemental of what you see. How much of the rioting in Iran is 'planned' and incited by some organizer? Granted there is a certain amount of safety in numbers that you gain in that situtation but there will still be deaths. At least if it comes to that we still have an edge that those in Iran don't have.

I watched that video of the girl getting shot a couple of days ago. That is probably going to seem common place before too long.

If you aren't willing to fight at least learn something in first aid to help those that are willing. I know that for every person on a battlefield there are at least 2 more behind the lines supporting the fighters. (beans, bullets and bandaids.)

Its coming.

I know when Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity mention rioting in the streets that those in higher positions are starting to get nervous.

More like seven. A wound can be more effective than a kill.

So the thought goes. Here in America that rule will apply. In most third world countries where the health care isn't "all that", you can throw that rule out for the most part. See what happened in Somalia during the Nineties. Wounded were left until the battles were over. Most didn't survive. The inhumanity of it scared the bejeebers out of many of our troops there and was a deciding factor in how that little skirmish played out.

Now Civilized countries the ratio goes up. Our logistic, support and command probably makes up 70% of our armed forces. Of that remaining 30% the majority are not 'Line troops' though with Iraq and Afghanistan they fast found out what Heinlein meant with " everybody drops, everybody fights"
I am not ragging on our military by anymeans but like everything else in this country it has become top heavy.
The problem with any power is it won't restrict itself but will happily whittle away at the base with no thought past its own life.
This is the disease that is eating away at our country. Every single rep we have from the Prez to local government is whittling away at the little guys and the incomes to "save the budget" but how many are actually taking a cut themselves.


NONE

great leadership by example I say.

Our main enemies will not only be the police, but scavengers. You theory will work for the scavengers. Our organized resistance will certainly spend thousands and tie up medical facilities trying. This will only serve to break the bank, so to speak. When this takes place, the people can tie up opposition on a 10-1 ratio.

while everyone is learning about survival and food stores for the coming revolution, you may want to consider books and medical supplies such as surgical tools and sutures. If the Gov gets control of the health care system, you can pretty much bet they will deny medical aid to anyone that opposes them in the resistance. Hopefully there will be some town doctors that won't conform to Gov control that can give medical support for us rebels.

This may sound crazy but give it some thought before you write it off.

Start recruiting veterinarians. Most Vets have the same skills as general practitioners, can write the same prescriptions, and usually have much more training. Back in 'the day' it wasn't uncommon for Vets to tend to the families that they saw while attending to the animals. To the best of my knowledge Vets are not under the same strictures that Doctors are going to be subjected to if the National Health Bill passes.(and I wouldn't be surprised to see more than a few Doctors changing over just to stay in work that they can be proud of.)
