I'm never one to take an opponent lightly, but this picture kind of sums up why I'm really not worried about the threat of Marshall's militarized leftists...........

You do know that Michael Dukakis served in the US Army stationed in Korea, right?

It doesn't matter. He looked like a swart ill favored Orc, sitting in the tank. One look at that photo (this was way back in 88) and I knew he was a goner.

People do realize that 42% Approval Ratings were what Ronald Reagan had in a much, much less severe downturn?

Ronald Regan was a much more experienced politician and statesman who didn't have the kind of personality problems Obama has. Unlike Regan, Obama will keep on believing he is right and that he is a genius and that the American public is too dense to recognize it.


Uh, with double digit unemployment Barack Obama could implement all the Tea Partisans' (absurd, backwards, incoherent) policies and not gain much in way of public approval. Let me share something from any introductory article on Depression-scale disasters - THEY DON'T DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT!

Of course they don't disappear overnight. I never said they didn't. Obama is not psychologically up to the task of pulling his administration out of it's power dive or implementing policies that will eventually fix the economy.


The main problem with Obama's administration isn't so much a "POWER DRIVE" as it is conflicting goals - the goal to be "bipartisan" (which entails institutional conservatism) and the goal to be "transformative" (which entails wedge politics to drive the opposition apart so as to implement meaningful reforms), their goal to be mainstreet reformists versus the goal to smooth relations with WallStreets shows another area where contradiction is destroying any change of effectiveness (one can't help mainstreet by redistributing income upwards to WallStreet banksters who destroyed the economy). This, and I don't mean to be offensive to people affected by the condition but it's the only word that rings rhetorically approperiate, political schizophrenia is destroying any chances of structural reform.

That and Obama's pretty much going along with an expansionist National Security State (first it was his vote on the FISA bill as a candidate, then it was his administration's efforts to make wiretapping easier, then it was attempts to make assassinations easier) which is sure to demobolize the ACLU civilly libertarian wing of the Democratic Party.

This is what I'd be worried about if I were you. If several months worth of beer flatulence and dried skid marks were to suddenly ignite it could take out an entire platoon of redneck teabaggers.

Since the economy is going hell in a buggy, Obama will need his Wars too. The only cure for a bad economy is War. It worked for FDR. The man who got the U.S. out of the depression was Adolph Hitler.

Right now Afghanistan is Obama's War. In a while it will be Iran. (or it will be the War of Obama's successor). The minute the voting public has no War to divert their attention they will go amok and vote out the current party, regardless of what the party is. Which is better, I suppose, than going amok and hanging politicians from the nearest lamp post or overpass.

As far as shotguns go..........if some of you ladies show up to your Paris Commune reenactment with shotguns, you need to be careful to hold the buttstock of your weapon hard into your chest, as the recoil can be absolutely nasty. I won't say too much, but if you don't get firm 3 points of contact on the shotgun, you'll get a nasty bruise on your chest that will knock a Manga-fan out of action for 4 or 5 days.

My whole concern though is that if you tried to lead your people through any type of structurized drill, they may well blow their face off in the 2nd movement of inspection arms....... No joke.

Also, the fact that many of your troopers will be attempting to storm our positions with their pants worn halfway down on their hips is not going to help your cause. You may recruit some 'gangstas,' but I imagine they will be slowed considerably as their trousers descend about them, and they'll only be able to wield a handgun at best as their left-hand will be thus occupied trying to keep their pants up.

I don't know. I can picture the tea party platoons already. A gaggle of shotgun wielding pear-shaped hillbillies waddling down the streets with their massively protruding beer guts precariously contained within their XXXXL sized overalls. Just don't force them to march too quickly or the bouncing motion of their beer guts may cause their suspenders to break, allowing their already overly-forward center of gravity to pull them flat on their face. Can anyone say FACEPLANT? LOL.

As for the gangstas, well... I'll admit it may be tough to train them not to fire their assault rifles sideways using one hand. However, having the recoil lift directed horizontal rather than vertical might be advantageous considering the wide aspect ratio of the targets. They'll just have to aim for the waistlines.

Could you really find that many pinkos that are willing to use a gun and that any hippies willing to come down from their high to fight the tea party? Even if you can you have already proven here that you can't keep it clandestine. I was debating for a while about reporting your posts to the local LASD joint terror task force (who would report it to DHS- I've done it before on another site) but it became clear that your intelligence assessments about guns an the tea party are delusional, your plan is insane, and that you are not mentally competent to carry out such an attack. Seriously, your posts on this thread sound like the musings of an emotionally disturbed 15yo.

I'd not be concerned........... marshall would discover that the hooptiemobiles of the gangstas aren't going to be up to his transport requirements. He forgets that 'Tea Party Platoons' would pretty much be completely mechanized. Besides our complete advantage in weaponry and transport, we'd also have the benefit of being naturally tactically defensive, as Marshall's leftists, as the initiating party, would have the onus of somehow escaping a state of siege in his ghettos.

Besides that, I don't know how often Marshall strolls about racially-changing neighborhoods, but his precious gangstas are starting to get some spare tire and muffin top about the waist, as well as that fat turkey neck. Too much Popeye's chicken methinks............. definitely the porky 'Ruben Studdard/Fat Albert' build is becoming the physical normative for the black populations...... Either that or I see alot more of the effiminate limp-wristed type amongst them. They are definitely starting to look a bit pursy and short winded.

Anyway, I'd not bother reporting Marshall as he's all in good fun. Its probably better the eventual fight comes soon anyway before their birthrate gets completely out of control.

Seriously? You actually think I have "plans"? :lol:

Give me a break. You right wingers use violent rhetoric and macho posturing all the time. You're the same assholes who shout "kill him" at political rallies, make death threats to democratic congressmen over healthcare reform, yell racial slurs, call gay people "faggots", etc... So you like to dish it out but you can't take it?

Interesting new poll out by Gallup. Obama's approval rating is about 45% overall but 91% with blacks and only 36% with whites. Seniors are at 38%, independents are 40%, married people at 39%. Hispanics are at 55% approval, significantly lower than I would of thought.

You're kidding, right? More like significantly higher than expected. Hispanic voters are normally conservative.

Also, considering the groups....were the married people all white people or were they black as well or maybe Hispanic too?

I know that Rove tried to get Hispanics to fill the place of Eastern European immigrants in his attempt to rebuild the Reagan Coalition. Since most rank and file Republicans are rightwing ultranationalists, that didn't work (and is one of the many reasons that ultraconservatives distanced themselves from Bush).

Depending on whether the GOP continues with their anti-Hispanic racism, we might just see a complete realignment of that group into the Democratic column (remember that on issues other than the death penalty African Americans tend to be very socially conservative yet vote Democratic thanks to decades of GOP racism).
