USA CRIME!

We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business? - Will Rogers

"The regulars are coming" Or should it be the Obama'a or Bloomberg or the haters against the constitution?

Quoting from M. Bane's blog of Friday April 18th:

So through the night rode Paul Revere;

And so through the night went his cry of alarm

 To every Middlesex village and farm,

— A cry of defiance and not of fear,

A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door

And a word that shall echo forevermore!

For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,

Through all our history, to the last,

In the hour of darkness and peril and need,

The people will waken and listen to hear

The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,

And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"Paul Revere's Ride"

I greatly fear we have once again arrived on the eve of April 19, 1775. I hope I'm wrong, but tonight, when you close your eyes, listen for hoof-beats.
