While the dangers of appearing anti-gun are evident to “true champion of the Second Amendment” Harry Reid, who recently tried and failed in his cynical manipulation to divide and conquer gun voters by appealing to the sporting crowd, to guys like Jon Tester, who put on a good front before showing gun owners what he really thinks of the right to bear arms, and to Democrats pressuring Michael Bloomberg to back off from his gun obsession lest he drag them down at the polls, those unable to control their “progressive” impulses are nonetheless itching for a showdown. Why not encourage it? Is there anything that would more strongly motivate not just the grassroots, but the “Profiles in Apathy” segment of gun owners, to get out the vote? Is there a better way to encourage the donkey to commit an act of self-destruction that will blow up in the gun-grabbers’ faces? Go ahead, Democrats. Strap a "suicide bomb" on that donkey and set it off.

Excellent point, I love the analogy.
Some of us are concerned to not bring up impeachment just before the election because it will serve to energize the left's base. There is some truth to that but what about energizing our base. The open border invasion has done that to some extent, I believe. And I think you are right that encouraging the left to mount an anti-gun campaign would further energize the conservative base.
Well said.
Never underestimate the GOP's desire to lose elections.
The GOP establishment doesn't want Obama's job... They want Harry Reid's
Mike, I find you to be a wise man. Though I find it perplexing how it can be that you do not yet see the actuality before your eyes.
Both political "factions" (as George Washington so aptly warned us all about) play each election to lose. All so they pester from the minority and blame the majority. They trade cycles back and forth, ensuring both loot Americans, eat out their substance, and both can grow government - increasing the number of unionized employees to harass the Citizenry.
The "factions" figured out that they could lock arms and become an insulator between We the People and our government all while claiming to be the "correct" conduit to it. They further complicated things by creating the "registered lobbyist". A subfaction race of factions is born.
Some say "another party" is the answer. But truthfully NO party is actually the solution!
So while the Democrats pack their gun control suiciding endeavor with gun control, know that the Republicans will match - tit for tat- every exploding equine. Indeed we should be encouraging the dems to pack the mule, and so too should we encourage the pubbies to match them one for one.
This because you never attempt to stop the enemy from self destruction.....

I do not believe in the 2-party system except as I understand the fact that it is two wings of the same bird of prey, as Pat Buchanan called it.
What I DO believe in is buying time between this instant and when the entire rotten economic edifice collapses of its own weight. This time can be used to prepare locally, to train, to build logistics. If we can avoid a civil war with the regime until that regime collapses, we will be able to save more of the country. But the collapse will come, you may depend upon it. Electoral politics is what we do between now and then IN ADDITION TO THOSE THINGS to ameliorate the damage.
I will take your explosive Donkey ... and raise it a flatulant Elephant!
Both expensive failures ...

Actually, nothing can stop it. The scheme for the of currency system dominance has been going on since the first central bank scheme of printing money out of thin air and then "leasing" it back to the government started in France in the late 1700's. That story is the entire crux of how the Fed came about and how the British tried to break up America for 2 century's. It's also the story of every single war since. As usual..it's ALL about the oligarchy/money/power and insanity.

The USG will do everything in it's power to stop this..include war. It always has.
Mike, the problem with what happens with the chaos AFTER the self imposed collapse is that then there is no longer a regime to galvanize against. That means only one possibility remains - the resulting hardship won't be seen as the "enemy", and it will just be a Citizenry fighting itself.
We agree on a great deal, of that there is no doubt, but we part ways on this point. Waiting until after it all crashes is basically a subsection of cloward piven - though possibly not being among those trying to bring it about. I once thought picking up the pieces after a crash was the best choice among the few available.
But I came to realize that if we wait until afterward, until post crash, then those responsible for perpetuation of the scam called governance today will not only escape responsibility, they will be to well positioned to start another similar scam all over again.
I know this much, even in small disagreements, you are one of the good guys and I look forward to meeting you one of these days.
