With ongoing discussion on left right and center, of government v people armed confrontation, the below should be considered a tinder box. The quoted paper is from the left this time. jz

Resistance is Futile!

A different kind of protest is being planned in cities around the US next Saturday by a different group of activists.  These folks don't seek environmental protection as much as the right to carry military assault rifles on the streets of their home towns and "stand their ground" with lethal force if they feel the slightest threatened. 
Compare and contrast these socially conscious and environmentally-responsible demonstrators with the NRA Rifles-n-Rapture loonies who want to carry Big Loaded Weapons into churches, kindergartens, sports bars, credit unions, hospitals, and any other place that might benefit from a good shoot-out. 
This is from the "Day of Resistance" website:
"On January 16, 2013, President Barack Obama issued 23 executive actions against your 2nd amendment Constitutional right to bear arms. He did this without the consent of Congress which in itself, violates the foundation of the Constitution and the co-equal branches of government. In response to these unconstitutional actions by the President, on .223, February 23, 2013 the American people will stand together in defiance to protect the right that protects ALL of our rights, the 2nd Amendment!"
Sorry to say the main Teabagger website is reporting that there is just not enough money for their little national bang-bang show. Perhaps fundraising was hampered by the scores of gun-related injuries at the last pro-gun rally?  Maybe the protesters are starting to realize their pet cause might just kill them, y'think?  
According to  Daily Kos...
"TheTeaParty.net, a well-known conservative group, reached out to supporters to say that it is 'deeply embarrassed' to have failed to raise enough money in the last several weeks to fund a nationwide series of pro-gun rallies scheduled for Feb. 23. Last week we announced that we needed to raise $100,000 to market the Day of Resistance to make sure that there are HUGE crowds at all of these rallies,' read the Wednesday email from outreach director Dustin Stockman. 'Unfortunately we remain well short of our goal. As of writing we have only raised $26,125.72 towards the $100,000 goal.'"
Did you ever notice that Progressive activists seek to protect things, like human lives and the environment, while their Neocon counterparts just want to cut a wide swath of death and destruction?

Kathy never expected a career in radio as a talk show producer. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kathy was completing her nursing degree when in 2001 - in an emergency - she was asked to fill in as the producer of Mike's program. Within a few (more...)
