Q: Do we need to break out those second amendment remedies?

[CLANG]

A: No. The second amendment remedies are heretofore only needed by people on the wrong side of our democracy. This is an extra-democracy method. A method of fighting against your fellow citizen which is actually called treason.

No, we on the left believe in using our First Amendment remedies. Those that involve non-violent assembly to have grievance against a fairly elected government representative, when we believe that his/her actions are unconstitutional, or just against the will of the majority of sane citizens practicing their obligations to their fellow citizens and the common good.

That's what we are witnessing now. The robustness of our most important right. This right must be exercised when needed to preserve our union and our way of life.

So as they continue to bus Teabaggers from West Virginia and all points south to shutdown free speech in Wisconsin.

I believe the rule of law and the first amendment and good ol' common sense will ultimately prevail.

Bless the protesters, since they are us! :patriot:

1. Excellent! n/t

[bdamomma]

2. I hope these protesters stand strong.

Bus teabaggers in to shut down free speech??? who is giving them their marching orders? creeps.

[CLANG]

3. The KOCKSUCKERS!! (and their front group FreedomWorks).

[CoffeeCat]

4. They're bussing in teabaggers to Wisconsin?????

Tea baggers are flooding into Wisconsin to protest the protesters??

I smell a rat--or several of them--who want the focus to be on RIOTS and VIOLENCE.
If they're doing this, they're creating reasons to shut this thing down.

FIGURES!

[CLANG]

5. I don't know - I think they just may get their just desserts by comming here.

I hope they catch it all on film.

6. Woo Hoo!

Teabaggers to march on Madison, saturday (source Ed Show)

7. I'm a strong RKBA advocate, and I favor First Amendment remedies too

Second Amendment remedies would be appropriate only AFTER a total breakdown of civil order.

[CLANG]

8. That may be when the 'baggers show up! BWAHAHAHA!

[slackmaster]

9. The 'baggers are pussies. They're all hat and no cattle. They talk the talk, but when push...

...comes to shove they won't walk the walk.

I am prepared to arm every family on my street with a Mosin-Nagant rifle and 100 rounds of ammunition, if they so desire.

[CLANG]

10. (we know that) I'm just trying to egg them on - put up or shut up you geriatric gomers!

[SlimJimmy]

12. I offer exhibit A. How are we any different than *them*? I am a strong

RKBA advocate, but I would never even consider such an action.

[slackmaster]

13. I'm talking about an extreme situation, such as the aftermath of a catastrophic earthquake

One in which the regular government-provided security forces such as police and the National Guard are unable to provide protection.

The purpose would be to help people survive, not to take over the country.

[SlimJimmy]

15. In that case, I agree and would probably do the same. I was

under the impression that you were ready to arm your neighbors against teabaggers. :)

[slackmaster]

16. I regard teabaggers as harmless kooks

All bark and no bite.

[SlimJimmy]

17. I would respectfully disagree. Even one armed "kook" is enough to cause a firestorm of hurt. (nt)

[slackmaster]

18. They don't have the stones to actually hurt anyone

:hi:

[SlimJimmy]

19. True ...

:fistbump:

[SnoopDog]

11. CLANG, may I use your phrase in a LTTE?

"First Amendment remedies" - well said my friend.

[CLANG]

14. Sure - the more the merrier!

[arbusto_baboso]

20. I'd say we should exercise our 2nd Amendment rights, too. (Hear me out, I'm not advocating violence

And the reason for that is because wherever and whenever we are out exercising our 1st Amendment rights, there is always the looming possibility that some lunatic fringe rightie will incite violence, counting on all of us being unarmed. The rhetoric from that side makes this inevitable. And I, for one, have no wish to be a martyr.

22. +1000

I've been saying it for a while, every time the nutters get nuttier, arm yourselves and keep your eyes peeled. :o

21. 2nd Amendment remedies are dystopic fantasies held by adolescents...

2nd Amendment remedies are dystopic fantasies held by adolescents who have read too many hack-authored science-fiction sub-literature.
