Here's how he knows...because conservatives almost never resort to violent anarchy. That's what liberals do when they aren't getting their way, not conservatives. PaulS, if you owned a restaurant, who would you want setting up camp acros the street - the Tea Party, or Occupy Wall Street.

And liberals do have more money than conservatives. Look where the liberal strongholds are - west coast and new england. Conservatives are mosty middle America and the rural South.

Are the conserv. allways talking about taking up arms? Is it empty talk?

Are conservatives taking up arms to better their own way of life or others? Or attempting to aide others? How many liberals no voted Afghanistan and Iraq two senators definitely approved the vote Biden and Obama

I'm not sure of your point Paul
Obama has been the best thing for gun sales. I have no idea what that means either but it does indicate a loss of trust for the government and in people in general. I'm comfortable with well armed citizens. My neighbors are armed as am I . Crazy but I find myself sleeping better knowing that. I trust my friends and neighbors .
Conservatives tend to look out for them selfs and others. Despite how you would like to paint them
You can trust in the government ...,
I'll be a bit more cynical

Jim is trying to make the absurd point that when liberals don't get their way, they resort to rioting. I'm making the equally absurd point that when cons. don't get their way, they talk about taking about arms.

Excdept I can point to as many recent examples as you'd like, of anarchy taking place when liberals don't get their way.

Race riots, anti-war riots, Wesleyan students throwing condoms at Antonin Scalia, liberal college students storming the stage when Ann Coulter tries to speak at UCONN, liberal college students storming the stage when The Minutemen try to speak at Columbia, rioting when the Rodney King cops were acquitted, the Occupy Wall Street kooks, anarchy outside the 2008 Republican convention (hundreds of arests), rioting every time the economic group G-12 has a conference, liberals rioting in Europe when cuts are announced to entitlement programs...

Where are the examples of equivalent large-scale civil unrest when conservatives want to make a point?

Just because you don't like what I'm saying, doesn't make it false.

"Are the conserv. allways talking about taking up arms?"

One of the more stupid questions i have ever heard...but I'll answer it (unlike you, you dodged my question about who yuo'd rather have across the street from your restaurant).

Conservatives do not talk about "taking up arms" every single time we don't get our way. Look at every single example of civil unrest in this country in the last 25 years. In most cases, you see liberal anarchists aren't getting what they want, and they respond by throwing temper tantrums.

When OJ got acquitted, I don't recall the right-wing law-and-order types staging riots.

Conservatives do not talk about "taking up arms" every singleDid I say "every single time" - they do say it quite a bit. Watch next week after the election. time we don't get our way. Look at every single example of civil unrest in this country in the last 25 years. In most cases, you see liberal anarchists aren't getting what they want, and they respond by throwing temper tantrums.

When OJ got acquitted, I don't recall the right-wing law-and-order types staging riots.I don't recall liberals rioting either. For you to use that as an example must mean that you equate the African Americans who rioted to liberals? So that is why I'm constantly reading things here and wondering who people are talking about? African American's = liberals. I got it. Now when people say liberals are always looking for handouts, they mean African Americans but are using code words. I finally got the conserv. code word key down.

Thanks for clearing that up.

You don't recall the liberals rioting? Well, of course they didn't riot after OJ was acquitted, because that was what many liberals wanted. But do you not recall what happened after the Rodney King cops were acquitted? Your recollection needs a tune-up, it would appear.

If Obama wins, there will be no conservative riots, just like there weren't any in 2008. So you just keep making stuff up.

In the final days of this campaign, we see the Obama administration's indefensible reaction to the Libyan attack. And now, we see that unemployment is increasing again. Only 1 network will discuss either of these things, and what they clearly say about the incumbent.

I cannot understand why this is a close election.

I certainly remember the riots - How do you know it was "liberals" rioting? Your just assigning positions based on your views and prejudices. I thought OJ was guilty so that disproves your point that liberals wanted him acquitted.

I thought Raider Ronnie said Romney was going to walk away w/the election?

If Obama wins I think it is b/c Romney threw his lot in w/the most right wing of the party (see Ryan). From abortion to healthcare he has been willing to reverse his previous positions so that they match the party. He apparently will say anything to get elected.

"How do you know it was "liberals" rioting? "

I know because I am objective and rational.

I'm not saying that all liberals are anarchists. What I'm saying is that when you see a good riot in the US, it's almost always to advance a liberal agenda (or to protest a conservative ideal)

"I thought Raider Ronnie said Romney was going to walk away w/the election?"

What's your point? Ronie is entitled to his opinion, but it's his opinion, not fact. I sure hope he's right...

"He (Romney) apparently will say anything to get elected"

As opposed to Obama, who said the following:

that he'd close Gitmo
that he'd cut the deficit in half
that unemployment would be less than 6%
that he would be a post-racial president (right!)
that he would be a post-patrisan president
that he would not have lobbyists around
that proposed bills would be online for us to see

Bill Clinton was one of the greatest flip-floppers in the history of the world (he governed like a Tea Partier during his second term). His flip-flopping on economic policy was one of the best things any president has ever done. I'll take a flip-flopper over a liar who abandons troops fighting for their lives (and refuses to discuss it), and who supports the killing of babies after they are born. And people say Romney's position on abortion is extreme...

IMHO, the number of people who want free stuff and large Govt to put
their mittens on for them is growing.
What used to be the majority of people who took pride in their independence and
hard work are dwindling.
