DevilDog, I am not only a citizen but born in Boston to parents discharged honorably from the US Navy after WWII and I have four siblings who served (2 Navy, 1AF, 1 Army). My family lived next to a major Marine base for many years. I do disagree frequently with the political views of the average TBN member. That shouldn't call my nationality or patriotism into question however and it is a little disturbing to think that some of you believe that. The typical TBN user is considerably to the right of the majority of the US population. Most of you couldn't even stand Mitt Romney because he wasn't far enough to the right/Tea Party/libertarian side of the Republican Party. The typical TBN users is a rural white male and that group represents a declining proportion of our population. Instead of being shocked by my ideas, you just might want to take a step back and think about the fact that it is the majority of TBN members who are out of step with the majority of Americans these days.

The majority of the electorate living off the government teat includes all military, all social security retirees, all Medicare recipients, all farmers and businesses and unemployed receiving federal support. Yep, a whole bunch of Americans fit into that category.

FYI...military personnel perform duties for the compensation they receive...unlike those that have joined the ranks (of the majority) in the last 4 years...doh!

Also FYI..."ALL" SS beneficiaries do not live solely off their benefits and I have never heard of anyone "living" off of Medicare supplements...your comments of "all farmers and businesses" is absurd and inane...

If his ilk had their way it would be spelled "amerika"

I can assure you that the military will NEVER take guns away from their brothers and sisters and their father and mothers, Not to mention, their loved ones that are at home during their service. Ken Sweet

It is not the role of the military to be involved in domestic law enforcement. I believe the constitution makes that clear.

Island, how do you propose to pry the AR-15 out of the hands of the people? or even to get them to register them. As Registration will lead to eventual confiscation.. and YOU know it, and so do we. Do you want bloodshed? Do you really want that? Or are you going to volunteer to go around ad do the deed? Tell us what you really think.

Perhaps the sentence was unclear. I was talking about farmers and businesses that receive financial payments of support in the way of subsidies just like the unemployed do. Did not intend it to sound like all farmers and all businesses.

You are nuts if you think that the majority of Americans live off the government. The figure often quoted of 47% is the percent receiving some form of benefit and includes anyone receiving any SS or Medicare etc etc. Only a very small number percentagewise actually "live" of welfare type benefits.
