Hoping for Our President to Fail: Rush Limbaugh, at the end of paragraph 3: <link>

I'm not sure he's hoping for Obama to fail IN GENERAL. I think he's merely hoping that Obama will "fail" to make our country significantly more socialist. That's no different from liberals hoping that Ronald Reagan would fail to significantly reduce social spending.

Armed Conflict: Uhh, what do you think these guns are for? Skeet shooting? Just look at the comments page of any article on guns.

You have to remember that people felt threatened by the possibility of a terrible recession since well before the election, and a terrible recession tends to greatly increase poverty. I blame 1960s liberals for spreading the idea that poverty is a root cause of crime and that there is little the police can do about it until the root causes have been addressed.

It's a logical consequence that when poverty is threatening to increase, people will need to increase the measures they take to protect themselves from crime. The California state government's threat to release large numbers of prisoners early to save money, and the laying-off of police in many cities only adds fuel to the fire.

Secession: Rick Perry, Governor of Texas <link>

Well, we do have to keep the secession option alive just in case the Supreme Court ever rules that Americans DON'T have a Constitutional right to own and carry firearms.
