Let's talk about the supremes from hell-- Scalia, Alito, Roberts and Thomas. I wish the worst for them-- not their families, but them. Their decision on guns will absolutely cause the deaths of thousands of innocent victims, more likely tens of thousands. And I'm not exactly wishing the best for their families, either.
These men are pariahs who, cloaked behind the scales of justice, have made terribly bad decisions that are damaging the very fabric of America. They carry a karmic burden that demands a response from the Universe-- a response that gives them a bit of the dose of hell they've decreed for tens of thousands of others.
There are those who would argue that these men are just judges with conservative positions. I strongly disagree. Two of them interfered in the presidential selection process. The four of them continue to wreak havoc upon American values and justice. Their idea of justice is sick and perverted by the interests of corporations and the powerful. No, these are not just right wingers. They are a pox upon America. And I know I am not alone in wishing them the worst.
I would love to see them besieged and to the extent legally possible, made uncomfortable by a league of protesters, dogging them, wherever they go, wherever their wives or children go. Let this league of protesters, always within the law, use their rights to free speech, their rights to own guns and display them, as the law allows. Let this league of protesters shout from the rooftops as they hound the four monsters of the supreme court who are wreaking untold damage upon america, making unbelievably bad decisions that will cost so many American lives.
Remember that these four were the ones who voted for the death penalty for child rapists-- a stupid choice that would have caused many more murders of innocent children. Rape is bad enough. Bad laws are worse. In that case, Kennedy made the right choice. History will view him as a man who wavered between good and bad decisions, sometimes protecting America and Americans and the American vision, sometimes siding with corporations, the wealthy and powerful.
Okay. I'll confess I have pet names for two of them. It started with Scumbaglia (thanks Bill Clinton for breaking the path for me to use that word) and then Scumbagalito. I could use help coming up with comparably despising names for Thomas and Roberts. Any volunteers.
Yes, I want to see protesters with signs in front of the schools of Roberts' and Alito's children. Let's start with "Alito Causes Murder" for the signs. I want to see protesters in front of the hairdressers of the supreme's wives, until they decide it is not worth going to hairdressers. I want to see protesters acting like papparazzi flocking around the supremes wherever they go. It would even make sense for funding to become available to do this work so protesters can do it full time, with help from researchers to identify where they will show up next. The goal-- make the lives of these miserable partisan ideologues hell-- within the limits of the law. After all, they have done that for the families who survive the victims of handgun murders that would not have occurred without the supreme decision.
Yes these judges from hell will have security, but they also will be forced, every day, to walk their talk-- maintaining the constitutional rights of the people who despise them, who wish they would go away. And maybe they will think twice about whether it is worth being so hated, worth joining George Bush, going down ignominiously in history as people who did irreparable damage to the USA.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they have not yet done irreparable damage. Even if their decisions cost tens of thousands of lives of innocent gun victims, maybe things can be turned around. That will absolutely not be the case if McCain gets to appoint the next justices. Then, America is toast. They'll have to call CSA-- the corporate states of America... or Conservative States of America, or Christian States of America. Take your choice. They all portend the darkest American future.
And while we're at it, why not also target the right wing religious extremists who helped put them there-- James Dobson, Pastor Hagee and the right wing megachurch leaders who are more corporate than spiritual.
There are risks in going to the edges of the rights to free speech. So, to avoid recurrences of past visitations from government officials, let me be clear. I am only calling for actions and protests that are within the law. And I am not in any way calling for anything other than the full use of our constitutional rights.

Well, lucky for us, we don’t have to figure out how to send them to Hell, they have bought their own ticket, and must walk through the path they have carved. “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord”, to me, means we don’t have to get down in the muckity muck with the scum of the earth to make sure justice is served. The Universe has its own set of checks and balances that is far more reliable than any that mankind has thought up. So we can, hopefully, focus on something that feels more uplifting – such as our vision for a glorious new America, and invest our energies in that. And let karma take care of the rest.

when was the last time a LAW ABIDING CITIZEN committed a crime with a gun? Can you actually sit there and suggest that those who would actually follow the gun control laws are now, all of the sudden, start committing crime?
The notion is absurd.
here are some views from our founders..
"To disarm the people... was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." -- George Mason, speech of June 14, 1788
"If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens." -- The Federalist, No. 29 - Alexander Hamilton
The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation. . . (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." -- The Federalist, No. 46 - James Madison
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's liberty teeth keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour." - George Washington Address to 1st session of Congress
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington:
It is VERY clear How they perceived the Second Amendment, so when gun control advocates try to suggest that the founders did not mean this, or that, or that the founders could not predict the way our society is today... I could refer you to the Declaration of Independence... the royal government sent forth many bureaucracies to "harass our people and eat out their substance"
I have noticed many bureaucracies eating out my substance.. How bout you?

Swimming Pool Accidents... people killed in traffic accidents, etc... More people will be dying as a result of the population increasing!
Yet, I do not hear the outcry to change the Constitution so that we can ban cars or to ban Cell Phones...
The only thing that I DO hear is outcry that the Supreme Court did not act as a legislative body and change the meaning of words so a gun ban could be justified. A gun ban for a city, where despite the fact that there is a gun ban in effect more people are shot and killed illustrating one of most consistently high murder rates in the country...

Excellent comment! Rob's position on gun control is why I sometimes fear the left as much as I fear the right. The nanny state can be just as cavalier with our Constitutional Rights as can the Nazi state. Never before in the history of the nation has the Second Amendment been more important than right now. Only naive idealism could possibly cause one to believe that our rights will be restored without arms. Ask the Jews.

And I thought I read here on OEN at one time that you were Irish! Am I wrong on this account? Correct me.
I guess this means you won't approve my upcoming article on "the seeds of terror" which uses the word text of the old testament to make my points. But just in case, I'll send it in anyways because so many christians have told me how valid it is and let's see if you will 'approve' this Scotsman's opinion.

I tend to leave that kind of article, which is questionable to them. What's the problem with old testament?
And before you make any assumptions or stereotype me, you might want to click on my name and check out my articles that I've written on Israel, AIPAC, etc.
Go to my articles page, hold down the control key, click on F for find, then type in ISrael or AIPAC and search. see what you find.

And they struggled mightily to obtain arms once the Nazi's came to power. So you want to voluntarily disarm as we seem days within an attack on Iran and military rule?

Yep! You nailed it! Rob's piece is about removing guns from the streets of America.
One of the bands I worked for named Lynyrd Skynyrd actually wrote a song about this same subject called "Saturday Night Special" about dumping handguns into the ocean.
I wrote a piece about how Ronnie Van Zant must of been one of those anti-gun liberals and in my piece on this subject I called him a communist for it and his daughter surrounded me with some of her toothless redneck friends to threaten my life for daring to call her daddy a communist for writing a suck ass song about gun control.
The way some of us feel about gun control is you give the government an inch and they will take a mile.
Give the government the handgun and they will take all of them.
I am not willing to give up not one firearm in the hands of law-abiding good Americans. I want them to be armed now and forever.
The moment this nation is disarmed is the moment this nation is truly dead. And I can not believe that Rob Kall would be calling on any of us to help kill our own nation going against the signed contract called the U.S. Constitution.
Like I said before, what Rob has done with this article is no different than me moving into Iran and writing articles for their citizens calling upon them to hand in their guns. It would stupid for anyone inside Iran to listen to me calling for their disarmament.
And likewise, I think it is a stupid idea for anyone inside America to be calling for any sort of gun control or disarmament of we the people. I can only look upon anyone who does this as someone who has a political agenda with the intent to destroy this nation and this is exactly how I think and feel about Rob Kall and his opinion.
If this angers some, then what can I say? This is my opinion and is the opinion of many millions upon millions of other Americans.
We will keep our guns- all of them. And this opinion will not be changing for anyone ever.
So please allow me to voice my opinion even if you don't like it.
I sit here and read your opinions and I don't like many of them, but you do not hear me running down the writer with personal attacks just because he or she wants to voice their opinion.
Have patience and consideration for all view points without personal attacks please.

thanks Steve ~ I agree with your argument, and WML's - we need to recognize what the past several bits of federal legislation have created in the US - and we need to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best (as Richard stated below)

The day when American cities and towns will become one open and bloody battle ground pitting millions of lethally/legally armed 'have-nots' against millions of Corporate run "cops" (Blackwater style) is not far away. How come? Put the jigsaw pieces together one by one, the first being the 9/11 conspiracy, followed by the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the fake War against Terrorism, warped justification of interrogation'torture', GITMO, rendition, FISA, aftermath of Katrina, the recent appointees at the Supreme Court, the 'privatization' of DoD, FISA and now THIS! I feel sorry for America and Americans! Hell is around the corner! Sorry, your prescription for this terminal cancer will not succeed. You Americans have been sitting on your butts for too long, dutifully paying your taxes like chicken, getting 'entertained' by 'watch wolf' (opposite watch dog) Media, eating like gluttons, borrowing like kleptomaniacs and spending like idiots. America and Americans have become the laughing stock of the World! Stop hibernating and do something really serious now OR ........

The question is not just one of fighting against troops, but one of using the threat of force as a deterrence against an unjust intrusion into one's home. For example, if the U.S. were to strike Iran and food shortages thereafter occured in certain areas, a particular citizen and his or her family may run short of food themselves, but ration and hope for the best. Meanwhile, roving bands might feel free to enter into homes searching for food whether or not they know it is there. The mere showing of a shotgun could deter such a group from that citizen's home without the firing of a shot when other homes offer easier targets. Similarly, a neighborhood might organize itself into a defense force to protect the entire neighborhood as they learned to plant and grow their own produce. Again, without a defense, such efforts will only be stolen by those with superior power. You might enjoy reading Thomas Hobbes, the political theorist from whom the founding fathers probably derived their thinking on the Second Amendment.

rob lets see they banned handguns from legal ownership and the murder rate went up.
second the first thing hitler did was take away guns from the people.
and third you said handguns wont do much when fighting people with automatics and better tech. We have the most advanced army in the world and so far a buch of bozos with just aks and rpgs are giving us fits.

I know where Rob is coming from though I can not agree with him.
The U.S. Constitution is the document that defines by contract what it means to be an American. A signed contract Rob Kall does not have the authority to do away with.
The document says we as citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. This is what it means to be an American. And the U.S. Supreme Court just upheld this right and the liberals can't stand it! They lost another round in their march to destroying old America!
And yet here we have someone who is espousing unAmerican beliefs as though we should all jump on the bandwagon and agree with him that all America should be disarmed immediately so we can save lives.
We should all vote for that right? Let's just hand them the keys to this nation without a fight, is what they would like.
Is Rob Kall calling for the disarmament of all 80,000,000 gun owners inside America?
Is Rob Kall calling for the destruction of the U.S. Constitution? And calling for America to slide into tyranny without a fight?
Is this what the liberals really want? An unarmed America not able to defend itself from its own government or them?
This article is akin to someone like myself moving into Iran and writing articles on how they should disarm themselves so those I work for can clean their clocks without a fight. Who in their right mind would be so stupid as to fall for that?
Rob Kall goes on to say that tens of thousands of people are now going to lose their lives because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of constitutional rights for once!
I think Rob Kall's numbers are grossly exaggerated.
US Gun Statistics Various Sources 2-2-5
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services)
Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million.
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do." FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand! Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention."
The above is from Rense.com.
It shows by the numbers that doctors actually kill far more humans than guns do, so why isn't Rob Kall calling for doctors to be outlawed by popular demand?
The bottom line here is plain for all to see... liberals do not align themselves with constitutional law. Liberals do not align themselves with what defines us as Americans.
Liberals continually want to change the definition of what it means to be an American every chance they get. Today many Americans no longer even recognize their own country and is it any wonder why?
The liberals who want to take our guns away and have us pay for every welfare recipient they can open our borders to are giving this nation away without a fight while their friends parade down the streets attached to each other in un-natural ways.
My ancestors fought bitterly for freedom on this land so 'outsiders' like Rob Kall can come into America and say the things he does here inside our nation. He can get away with it here- for now.
I am in favor of more guns on the streets of America! The more the better! But put them into law abiding responsible hands.
Funny thing about gun statistics... most of them are sold way down South... and any of you are welcome to come down here any time to try and take them away from us.
Southern Americans will defend this land with their very lives, while the northern liberal gives it away and expects everyone else to vote for it.
I can not agree Rob Kall. With this post you come across as an un-American big time.
