When the gas prices went up TEMPORARILY under Bush, you libs started screaming about how he was in with "Big Oil" and his family was profiting from it. Not a peep of any of that toward Obama, even though fuel is almost DOUBLE what it was when he took office. And has been for what, well over a year? And lets not talk about him wanting to shut down the coal industry. Or crushing the pipeline plan two weeks ago. You libs? you have no idea what my political position is... So basically your argument is "I can baselessly blame the current president for gas prices because some poorly educated people baselessly blamed the last president for gas prices"? pretty poor argument if you ask me... whatever. He visits Hawaii a couple of times a year. He visits the golf course weekly. He visits Disneyland.Again, what does this prove? He also visits the toilet... he is free to go where he pleases as a free human being living in these, the united states of our america. Thats not what he said. Essentially, he said that Obama was pressured into it. Actually, that is EXACTLY what he said... Mine are up. My property values were lowered 12%, but my taxes went up 10%. How does that work? Unions. It takes a crew of three people up to two hours to loosen the two bolts to swap out a street sign. For all of you that got happy when your county lowered your property values, check your taxes. Wait wait wait wait, you're blaming the president for your property taxes? please see your republican governor for STATE taxes. Tanks? No. They're not large enough of a team to do that to all of us. But my "little pistol" will keep you liberals the hell off of my property. Besides, I don't think most cops and military would "participate" in such a thing. Most military love this country, its freedom, and what it provides (even though we don't provide nearly enough for them). Again with the "you liberals"... I'm an individual, not a liberal or a conservative, I tend to vote conservative when it come to money, and I tend to vote liberal when it comes to freedoms, choices, and liberties. I'm registered as a republican, but by my best approximation, I'd say I'm closest to a libertarian. Now for the rest of this paragraph... I have been to your property exactly zero times, and I plan to keep it that way no matter how many weapons you may or may not have... But I'm curious how you plan to use your gun to protect yourself from the government. Do you think that the president himself will come to your house and try to take your gun from you? I'm a little lost in your thinking apparently. Who in the government exactly do you think you will defend yourself from with your mediocre civilian firearm?
