An Eloquent Defense

By Boquisucio on August 10, 2010 | | Comments (15)
Seldom have I ever seen more succinct use of words, in defense of our 2nd Amendment.



And though the face of contempt was un-moved in that ArseHat Sen. Schumer, I have to say: Well stated, Sister.

Well said, indeed!!  I wish the camera had been left on long enough to see their reactions immediately after her last words were spoken.  I wonder if they *rolled their eyes*.  'Course, not that the LSM would find that newsworthy.
heh

Many times I have wondered at the impact of veterans (I'm thinking primarily of former infantry men, or others whose primary MOS directly involved the use of firearms), armed, fully understanding the technical, tactical, and ethical ramifications of the use of deadly force upon the crime rate. It irritates me to see those suits sitting elevated in their chairs, looking down upon Ms. Gratia-Hupp with their contemptuous smirks. Would that they fully appreciate from who they derive any semblance of "power", and realize that she is right: The 2nd Amendment exists to defend US from THEM.

They know she is right, but it doesn't matter. By nullifying the Second Amendment, they will protect *themselves* from *us*, therby allowing them to continue in power.

But if they'd ever seen what was left of someone after a mob had finished disassembling him with nothing but fingernails, they'd be mandating gun ownership.

She was far more articulate and composed than I could have been looking into Chuck's smarmy gaze.  One hell of a woman, God bless her and the memory of her parents.  To paraphrase her words... Better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six.

Oh my. Call them out and shut them down. I'll bet none of them said anything. Preach on, Sister!

I've only tonite been able to view the video.

To the lady:  Bravo.  BRAVO!  Good on ya!

To Boq:  Thank you, sir, I needed that!  Can you put it in context?  I understand Texas, but where and when was this incident?

In a Luby's cafeteria in, I think, Arlington, Texas. Back in the late Seventies or early Eighties, maybe?  Or maybe it was Killeen, Texas.

"from all of you guys, up there!" Preach it Sister!

Oh, that thing was painful to watch, and to listen to, on dial-up.  I got to see and hear for 3 seconds at a time, wait 15 seconds, repeat, until n=whatever.

Is there some way to just download these things, instead of streaming them? Surely that speech is in the public domain, so that copyright is not a problem.

P.s. I think the lady ought to pose for a re-painting of that famous picture, "Liberty Leading the People", except that this time the People should be portrayed as solid citizens, with good order and discipline, instead of an urban mob.

Justthisguy -- maybe. If you click on the YouTube bug, it will open in a new window; there, there may be an option to download it. If there isn't, you can download and install Miro, which can usually capture and then play a YouTube stream.

Thanx, htom, I might try one of those things.  That glimpse I had of Schumer's face just chilled me to the bone, and I think I'm slightly autistic and bad at judging facial expressions. That guy is not a nice guy, not to put too fine a point on the question.

1991 in Killeen. Yeah, it's Wikipedia, but it will give the basics okay, I think.  Dad had retired from Fort Hood just 3 months earlier and the family had moved to Austin.  I was away at college in San Angelo.  Texas has since changed the law that allows for concealed carry.

I am not positive if this is the right area, but I thought you should know I read this post awhile ago on another site. I think it was a wordpress blog with a similar title. The content was practically the same, but I noticed that this one has an older date. I guess they stole it from you, but maybe not who knows. Thought you may want to know.

To admit that the police alone are powerless to protect the general public is to admit the limitations of government--and Schumer, et al, are ALL ABOUT "government."  To admit of such defeciencies is to deny their very reason for existence and purpose in life.

Fat chance with the likes of Schumer.
