In the comments at my personal blog (Rated R), Peter of Shakey Pete’s Shootin’ Shack had this to say on the topic of Obama trotting out his new government-services poster child, after I mentioned that I’d gladly opt off the goodies list if I could just have my liberty back:
They don’t want you to have your liberty back. They don’t want you owning a home. They don’t want you owning a gun. They don’t want you owning a car.
They want you living in a small apartment in a city, taking the train to your government provided job. They want you to need their permission to take the intercontinental railroad on your state approved vacation.
They want, no, they lust for power. They don’t care that every time they get that power millions of people die, others live in squalor and fear. They must have power.
Oh, and that small apartment in a big building they want you to live in? It will smell of boiled cabbage. Because that’s what they do. See the Soviet Union, circa 1970, when it was at it’s “best”.
Eff them. Eff them all.
Got ammo?
Well said, Pete.

Typical capitalist. He owns a gun shop (I am to assume), so he paints a terrible picture of our future then says, “Got Ammo?” He’s just trying to feather his own nest. Oh, and what does he recommend for hippies, pols and/or zombies??
If you didn’t follow the link over to Shakey Pete’s, DO IT. Good common sense advice for Julias all over. Thanks Pete.
конечно !!
Peter doesn’t own a gun shop, but he’s been handloading his own ammo since Moses was in a basket. He’s a great resource if you have any firearm-related questions. If he doesn’t know, he will at least point you in a helpful direction.
Also, his mama raised him right, so he never makes you feel dumb for asking a dumb question about firearms. Which I’ve done, so, voice of experience here.
If you don’t have a face or hands, you don’t have any business owning a home, car or gun anyway, comrade.
Break’s over, Grandma, get back to work on the collective farm. Those cabbages aren’t going to harvest themselves.
