Try Somalia, absence of government there means that responsibility for self-defense falls entirely on the people, and that seems to have been working out tremendously for them over the past twenty years

That's alright as I'm not against the government or anything.  Although, in the US, the cops aren't here to protect the you and me, and the courts have even ruled that.  It is up to the people to protect themselves, their friends and family.  Perhaps there is a reason New Hampshire has had the lowest crime for 5 years?  It is legal to carry guns in colleges and even the capital building here.  Of course, even a 13 year old may openly carry a gun here without a background check or any government paperwork.  That's how it is supposed to be :)

We are working to even improve on the gun laws in NH this year as they still aren't good enough.

The Tea Party is just a product of the lies and fear the republicans have been spreading for the last 2 years. The republicans killed that 9 year old girl.


LOL.

The left bloggers and pundits and cable  news talkers are deliberately pointing fingers and the right is defending. 

Targets on maps  have also been used by the left

Read and watch how this  Tuscon chief embarrass himself on tingles cable show.

I might understand his vitriolic words the day this happened but now it is pure politics when he named names who had nothing to do with this.  

He is acting like a politician up for reelection not a cop on the job.

Please provide real proof otherwise you are sowing seeds of hate.

Please show us evidence where tea party members were at that event and pulled triggers

Please show me where the tea party set this whole thing up. 

And then show me how the instances of hate speech in this post also didn't lead to this tragedy:

I am finding this sickening.  STILL people CAN'T resist arguing political bulletpoints here?  I see an argument, in this thread advocating EVERYONE own guns?  Excuse me, why is this even being brought up?  I see cases now where Sarah Palin screams, "Blood libel" in response to the charges of hate speech.  People absorbed in their own political opinions rather than figuring out common ground rules for civil discourse.

On this note, I will offer one piece in the NY Times, which would be a right wing address that is balanced, and should remind people about now being a time to be united in horror:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/opinion/10douthat.html?_r=1&hp

And yes, it does engage in a level of spin that Olberman had, but still the point needs to be addressed.  And no, I won't have a gun.  I have a better idea... I carry plastic, so I don't have money on me, and don't wear bling so I don't look like I am a target for crook.  And a gun would do what exactly, except elevate the tension level?  Individuals who are threats to use guns either feel the situation calls them to do it, out of fear, or they believe they would get away with it, if they use it.  In a case where a person loses it in anger, the guns they have around do end up getting used.  At that point, the gun goes off and is used and people regret it happened.  Not much for me to gain carrying a gun.  I am curious exactly what Plaxico Burress gained by carrying a gun on him.  He ended up in jail and out of the NFL as a result.

So let me know your point being is that you are arguing that such use of language is wrong, and shouldn't be done, or that it is ok, and should be continued.  Which side are you on, or is that those on the left shouldn't use such language but everyone else is permitted to do so?  Unless it has something connected to any of these points, why bring it up?  Last I checked the issue with hypocrisy isn't in what it is said, but the fact the person saying it isn't able to live up to what they talk about.

I'm from the South so I'm framiliar with Memphis BBQ, Carolina BBQ and Kasas City BBQ.  I don't think you will find it as good in NH but all of those types are featured.  Manchester, NH alone has a couple BBQ places that are pretty good.  Plus I have a friend in NH that replaces holidays with meat holidays.  For example, instead of having a Christmas Party he has a Meatmas Party.  There was BBQ porc, beer and chicken.  He is doing another one for Easter with a Meatster Party.

If you are looking for BBQ competitions, we have this http://ribfestnh.org/  There are usually compeitions in MA and ME too.  There is even a New England Barbecue Society http://www.nebs.org/

I don't know how you feel about chili but the World Championship Chili Cookoff will return to Manchester, NH for a 3rd year in a row, http://blog.chilicookoff.com/post/2419244621/worlds-championship-chili-cookoff-returns-to

The Westboro Congregation of Pond Scum backs down re: the picketing of Christina Taylor Green's funeral. The others are still on.


What are they even picketing?  Don't they hate gay people and the Iraq war? (I think?)

Did you realize you posted that it was the cons who killed this girl? My point was to show you if you blame just the cons then you have to blame libs also.  If not you are acting hypocritical.

Or maybe it is reasonable to blame the actual killer,  And then wonder why a very sick person is allowed to threaten other people and tote a gun around like it is dodge city. 

Maybe you should wonder why a Chief of police is shinning the light on other people. Is he trying to hide his failures?  

But it is a free country so you are allowed to post inflammatory messages.
