How will you use small arms to defeat a "tyrant"?
Last time I looked, you were kissing the tyrant's arse and singing "Hail to the Cheat".

Like the great men that founded this nation, I am always ready to stand opposed to tyranny and those that would limit my right to defend myself and my family.

So you went to war with the Brits to get rid of a "tyrant" (who was subject to Parliament and the rule of law) and recently you elected a president who says "If the President does it, it's legal." He also managed to pardon himself and his cronies for war crimes, committed and yet to be committed.
Extraordinary.

When the British came to Concord green to collect our rifles...they got them. Ammunition first.
They weren't rifles...they were muskets.
So...how many British soldiers did they manage to hit?
At Lexington, there were more than 100 "militia".
At a range of 30 feet(!) they managed to.....graze 1 Brit.

If not health care, the nicest roads (not bridges) must be in the USA.

They are. No other nation on the planet has an infrastructure as large as ours. I gladly pay taxes for them and for the killing of terrorists and criminals wherever they may be found. Unfortunately, the police do not waste nearly enough oxygen thieves thanks to communist judges.

And regarding that "health care" issue...

I'll put my health care up against canuckistan's any time. You bet I pay for it...no problem there. I'm glad to pay for it. That's called Capitalism. Not communism. And it's the only way I will have it. I pay my own damn way and I don't expect anyone else to do it for me. Conversely, I see no need to continue paying a nickel more than the law allows for the lazy, fatass welfare state 'citizens' and I see no need to fund the careers of criminals as they prey on the innocent.

I don't wait for my health care. It's there when I need it and IT"S THE BEST IN THE WORLD...just in case your vision is so poor from canadian health care that you haven't noticed. The world comes to us for the best health care. Not the cheapest. The BEST. Period.

No one guaranteed a 'right' to anyone born on this planet to 'health care'...especially if I'm the one paying for it. Only socialists and communists expect such treatment.

Here is your new Bill Of No Rights, just so you have a better understanding of what life is all about:

"WE, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt-ridden, delusional and other liberal bedwetters.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident:

that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights.

"ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

"ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone--not just you. You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

"ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

"ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

"ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

"ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

"ARTICLE VII: You don't have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen TV or a life of leisure.

"ARTICLE VIII: You don't have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.

"ARTICLE IX: You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want all of you to have one, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training before you to make yourself useful.

"ARTICLE X: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness--which by the way is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights."
Actually, most of your taxes goes to protecting Halliburton etc.
I very much doubt that you have any knowledge whatsoever of living conditions or healthcare outside the USA.

You don't have much faith in your Army's ability to repel an invasion, do you?
That's pretty insulting.

Hey Steve, getting back on topic, it is apparent that you don't carry a gun as part of your cycling equipment. Do you carry any kind of protection, other than the grace of God, when you ride? I don't mean to use against humans, but how about dogs or whatever you might encounter.

I've been riding bikes for 42 years.
I have never been threatened by humans or animals. Neither has anyone I know.

More Australian violent crime...that didn't happen, of course:

Police set up strike force to investigate 'suspicious' death of Gary Wiggins

By Gerard Knapp in Sydney

The New South Wales (NSW) Police Department has appointed a select team of detectives, being assisted by the NSW Homicide Squad, to investigate the death of the retired Australian track cyclist, Gary Wiggins – the father of the leading British pro rider and multiple Athens 2004 medallist, Bradley.

Wiggins Snr was found on the morning of Friday, January 25, on Segenhoe Street, Aberdeen, a town near the Australian centre of Newcastle, NSW.

A NSW Police spokesperson told Cyclingnews that 'Strike Force Durbin' had been set up to investigate his death, which detectives are treating suspiciously. The police spokesperson said the results of the post-mortem had not been released, though it is understood that Wiggins died from head injuries.

The formation of a special strike force is indicative of a highly serious crime conducted in NSW.

After he was found unconscious, Wiggins Snr, 55, was taken to Muswellbrook Hospital and then later airlifted to John Hunter Hospital where he died. The spokesperson said, "The circumstances leading up to Mr Wiggins' death are still to be confirmed and his death is being treated as suspicious at this stage."

He said that Strike Force Durbin, formed to investigate Wiggins' death, will comprise detectives from Hunter Valley, Lower Hunter and Newcastle Local Area Commands, with assistance from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad.

Police are appealing for anyone who might have seen Mr Wiggins walking from McQueen Street, Aberdeen, towards Segenhoe Street about 21:00 on Thursday, January 24 to contact Crime Stoppers on (AUS) 1800 333 000.




Not to worry. The 'authorities' in charge of protecting Mr. Wiggins will see to it the report reads that he tripped over his own feet and beat himself to death during the fall. Thank God he didn't have a firearm to protect himself with...his injuries might have ben even more severe.

Too bad Stevebaby wasn't there to assure him that he had nothing to fear from man or animal.

Hey Steve, how many representatives did we have in Parliament?

The controversy which gave rise to the "Hail to the Cheat" business was settled according to the law.

BTW the counties which couldn't count up their votes properly in time to realize Bush had won fair and square were largely Democratic. According to the law, that means the people running the voting machines were Democrats. So, if the unclear count was a cheat, it was perpetrated by Democrats. That means Gore men, Stevie. I am not saying it was a cheat, but if it was it was not perpetrated by Bush's party.

If Gore lost because his own party couldn't properly count up a winning vote in his own party's counties, then he lost according to the laws of the nation he aspired to lead.

You seem to be saying the US isn't a democracy because it doesn't work the way it should. Have I summed up your argument correctly? Explain please.
