...with the groups showing up "supporting" these mini-riots including the SEIU...it seems clear you have reason to be nervous...these staged, paid riots are nothing but a setup...for a martial law takeover and possible suspension of elections...this little lady said it better in her last sentence than I've ever heard it said...and it matches what the liberal in the link said...

I believe these events were peaceful, because the folks at the TEApartys were non confrontational, peaceful, and respectful. We didn't block traffic, disrupt businesses, or confront anyone who disagreed with us. I don't know what these people in NYC are trying to accomplish, but I do know our technique is effective, and already has proven results. These guys in NYC get a lot of press, and a little pepper spray but thankfully they will change nothing, because they have not earned any respect.

...from what I've read about the Tea Party, their whole intent is to represent calm, though angry, reasonable, though frustrated Americans in a respectable way...without being rabble-rousers or embracing violence...that's a good plan to win folks over...we can say our piece without shouting and being wild and crazy...the power of the vote trumps any riot...

Respectfully, you may have meant "against", but I don't always look at it as us against them. Many times we are on the same side.

2A is about just that...protecting US from THEM

...well I'm not an English major...but I say what I mean...I don't mind anyone disagreeing with me loudly, but I don't need a proofreader...I choose my words purposefully...and I meant AGAINST all three times I used it...NOT FROM...our overly aggressive and controlling government is NOT FOR us...they are AGAINST us more and more... "...Many times we are on the same side."....name one time since 2008 you've honestly felt that our government has been on the same side with us...I can't...
...as to the choice of words...being armed AGAINST them is the purpose of the 2A...and our only protection FROM them...(and their goals and plans for us)...

...choice of words aside, I feel that the great majority of Americans...even gun owners, have never seriously considered that we may be in a time when we have to take up arms...against people we know...to protect/preserve our rights...right here in the USA...that's the point I was making...
