Samantha is learning that, like those of us in the 2nd
amendment fight learned long ago, there are certain
times and places and formats where 'civil
disobedience' is considered a violent crime. Where was
she when law abiding American citizens were being
murdered in their homes by the ATF over something so
minor as a $5 tax?
While the liberal left is whining about how their
muslim buddies are being treated, they still are
completely ignoring the preexisting repression of law
abiding upstanding natural born citizens who try to
exercise those constitutional rights they don't
approve of. And they will continue to ignore us after
this is all over, too.
If you are looking for my pity, you are too little,
too late, so it's too bad.
