Freedom is a personal thing, I choose to be free and NOT accept their rule. They will have to use force to control me. How about you? Will you give into this or are do you wish to remain a free man? Just asking.

Not Me !! I'm Not Gonna Let them Make me do anything that I Don't Want to do if it can be Avoided!! I will fight them tooth and Nail before I Just Lay Down and Accept Their Rules!!

That's his name. Thanks!

Would anyone of our "leaders" today placed in his shoes do the same?

There was one senator who said the right thing to do when you run for president is to resign your office because you can't serve and run at the same time - it isn't ethical. That was Bob Dole. He advised Kerry to do it, Kerry with his elite contempt for the old man ignored the advice and so has everyone else for that matter.

I think it matters, these little things because it goes to the person's convictions and their ethics. Even though dole would have been OK as president, nothing too thrilling there, he would have been a bit better than Obama or McCain, especially McCain.

Has anyone thought how bad it would be under McCain? I think we would be worst off in many different ways because he is somewhat worst than Obama.

How so? I happen to know John McCain and his brother Joe. John was a classmate of my fathers at the Naval Academy. I am privy to some dirt he is not proud of and is not generally known. I am also not thrilled with his lack of a cohesive message when running for president and became quite tired of hearing "Maverick" 100 times or more. I also believe that he ran out of gas and was coasting the last few months of the election, one of the longest campaigns in our history.

That said, the man has integrity and there is none of that in the white house. He has a proven track record of working with both sides of the isle, Obama had none. The man is also a proven warrior and knows the true costs of leaving soldiers in the field lacking in supplies and manpower while Congress fights over a budget. He would not do that to our soldiers. I voted for him based on that fact and that I have 2 sons in the field currently serving. You might say I have skin in the game.

I do have to say that I have been very impressed with the intellect and decorum that Huckabee has shown since the election and would be curious what his aspirations are for the next go round.

Layout,
I am prepared to fight for my freedom and the that of my loved ones and am not comfortable with posting such as I believe that Obama's Internet Nazis are like Santa Clause, making a list and checking it twice! There are many like minded people that have also prepared for the day they come knocking to seize your personal weapons and have inventory elsewhere. There are also a great number of people that believe that Black powder is the way to go if he president goes after the brass!

Black powed is a VERY good idea, you can make that yourself. I do need to get a black powder shotgun. I have several modern black powder rifles, one is a flintlock which works better with black powder than the in-lines do.

I think Greg is right. With McCain, the ideas are similar, but it would have moved much more slowly. Obama and this administration have pushed hard and fast, waking up the American people.

At least McCain knows which end of a gun a round comes out of. As much as I did not like McCain, compare him to drug resistant tuburculosis, I dislike Obama even more. I compare him to terminal brain cancers. I would have been less worried over security matters with McCain than Obama. Other than that, they all suck.

Actually I would have worried more with McCain on the security of our country. Just replace this whole health care mess with immigration and think about what is going on with the border. McCain would have been fast to pay back the people (Latinos and pro-open border) very quickly, especially with the democratic congressional majority. The republicans would be hard press to go against the New President.

Is Obama's views on illegal imigration any different than McCain's? I was under the impression that BOTH of them were sucking up to these criminals to get elected. That part of Obama's bombs will go off AFTER the 2010 election. Along with many other things that they are holding off on until they consolidate their power.

His views are the same, but the place on his agenda is different.

Regardless, the people who support Obama on this issue also support McCain.
