I'm sure many of you have read this in the past, but many likely have not. Somewhat lengthy read, but IMO well worth the time.

My thoughts exactly. I know a number of people that I'll be encouraging to read that.

Great read!! :thumbsup:

"If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?"

That is fantastic. My new sig.

Makes me think of the ol' adage, "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but on one wants to die."

That was wonderful! I find it interesting to note that it was written 20 years ago when BHO was just a twenty something kid doing drugs with who knows who (Bill Ayers?) and talking about changing America.

Thanks for posting this.

I did not yet read the entire piece, but I will. And will pass it along to some other sites I visit.

The sad part is that it was written 20 years ago and yet here we are driving in the same circle.

Good article.

Tungsten · May 5, 2013

Great article. Some very good points. I like the part about crime being against our dignity as opposed to simply being a loss of objects.

Speaking of 'changing America' ...

That commie bastard and his sycophant of a POTUS certainly have a twisted vision for our great country if they think like THIS ...

William Ayers says Weather Underground, Boston bombings not same

“To conflate a group of fundamentalist people [in Boston] who are nihilistic in some way with a group of people who spent their lives trying to oppose the murder of 6,000 people a week … and still the killing went on. And still the killing went on. What would you have done?” Ayers said. “There’s no equivalence [with Boston]. Property damage. That’s what we did.”

It was not clear if Ayers sees the difference between bombings he and his associates carried out and the April 15 attack by brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as one of intent or outcome. Although no one was killed in the bombings of NYPD headquarters, the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol building between 1970 and 1972, Ayers’ then-girlfriend Diana Oughton, pal Terry Robbins and fellow Weather Underground member Ted Gold were all killed when a bomb they were making in a Greenwich Village townhouse exploded. That bomb, which was packed with nails similar to the pressure cooker bombs used to kill three and injure more than 200 at the Boston Marathon, was intended for use on newly drafted soldiers at Fort Dix, according to authorities.

Sooooooo ... Politically-motivated terrorism under the guise of protest against government actions are 'pure and protected' ? Suppose modern day patriots do the same, and only cause "property damage"; could the 'Ayers-excuse' be used in their defense ? Would actions like that lead to tenured professorships and a BFF relationship with Obama?

Just askin ' ... :innocent0
