    This is an EXCELLENT thread and everyone should read it. One of our protest sign wavers, known as Deep Lurker, sent this to me regarding "Democrap sense"

    We are done being polite.

    Maryland Democrats and other Alinsky leftists apply their self-congratulatory "common sense" labels to all their legislative bills now. Implied is the notion that this Democrat "common sense" is superior to the "sense" that our Founders enshrined in Our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

    Such so-called "common sense" is why slimy Maryland Democrats feel free to submit destructive (gun registration), silly (toy gun bans) and often nonsensical (Terror Watch List) bills that are claimed to be both necessary and appropriate for our "public safety."

    It matters little to Democrats that such shrewdly-crafted laws (which they themselves term "snakes" in their inside-baseball MDGA legislative lingo) are neither necessary nor appropriate; it matters even less that they are not Constitutional on their face, or unconstitutionally vague in their drafting.

    What we are defending again next week in all the gun bill hearings and thereafter, for ourselves and our posterity, is precisely the notion that Our Constitution is revered -- not as a document of Maryland Democrat-style "common sense" -- but rather is a gift of "UNCOMMON SENSE" to all of us, and to the world.

    This uncommon sense has kept America free, until now, because Our Constitution has been, and always will be, the ultimate expression of "public safety."

    Thus the latest politically-fashionable Democrat buzzword -- claiming a "common sense" basis for all civil rights-eliminating legislation -- is an intentionally subversive idea. Yet Maryland Democrats are too corrupt to even care. They just want what they want. It's not gun control; it's gun-owner control they are after.

    Their duplicitous "common sense" justification fails because our rights and liberty -- which our government was instituted to protect, hangs on an uncommon document, not a common one. There has been nothing like Our Constitution in the history of the world.

    This is precisely because those who created it were uncommon patriots, not common slimy Maryland Democrats.

    Our Founders possessed uncommon wisdom in their time (and even in ours) -- they were uniquely well-educated, intelligent, curious, philosophical, well-traveled, clever, courageous and farsighted.

    They educated themselves and read the best of available history, science, politics, philosophy and literature. They were keen to understand human nature, in order to save us from ourselves (and even, one day, as they foresaw, Maryland's modern-day Democrats).

    Our Founders didn't exchange cat videos, play video games, or text selfies.

    Before and after the Revolutionary War they met in each others' homes, colonial legislatures and in public houses to discuss current ideas and events, to argue politics and philosophy, and to create a government that respected their liberty. They thought about everything they did.

    Compare what our Founders accomplished meeting in Philadelphia in 1787 to what an equal number of currently-elected, unthinking, slimy Maryland Democrats meeting in our State House next week would (or more accurately, could not ever) produce.

    Just imagine a room in 1787 filled with the likes of a Clippinger. Or a Raskin. Or Dumais. Or Miller, Lam, Barnes, Pugh, Rosapepe, Moon, Davis, Muse, Zirkin, Smith, Rosenberg, Conway, Carter, McIntosh, Madaleno, McFadden and all the rest. (Especially the Clippingers of the world.)

    As even Forest Gump understood: "Stupid is as stupid does."

    Maryland's Democrat morons from Montgomery County, Baltimore and Prince George's County simply cannot help themselves -- their impulses are always to be as short-sighted, self-serving and punitive as they are disrespectful and ignorant of historical wisdom and genuine Constitutional principle. They are traitors, but are too poorly educated to even comprehend what treason is.

    Brian Frosh -- well, though "educated," Frosh is just evil. His extensive leftist education includes a year hiding out in Sweden, where his Mommy sent him from 1966 - 1967 to dodge the U.S. military draft during the Vietnam War. Frosh proudly includes this year spent abroad in his Maryland government biography; you can look it up.

    Frosh hates guns and law-abiding gun-owners (we are "nuts") because he can't tolerate his own sense of cowardice, having watched others step forward to take his place in the Armed Services, and ever after he has projected his permanent shame and self-loathing onto us. The upshot is that this makes Frosh, as Maryland's Attorney General, a very dangerous kind of coward and contemptible hypocrite, and a treasonous one at that.

    The everlasting problem of the Democrats' corrupt "common sense" is that they wouldn't recognize a legislative "unintended consequence" if it smacked them in their collective noses -- which it wouldn't anyway, because those same noses are shoved so far up the behinds of Maryland's top Bloomberg money grafters: Mike Miller and Mike Busch.

    By the way, it is "collective" -- as in "Bolshevik" collective -- as well.

    Remember who we are: glorious Maryland is one of the Thirteen Original Colonies; colonial Maryland saw the Revolutionary War through to victory, to preserve our traditional liberty. As Ben Franklin noted at the signing of the Declaration of Independence: "We must all hang together, or assuredly shall all hang separately." They hung together.

    Maryland hosted the courageous Continental Congress in our own Annapolis State House from 1783 - 1784. General George Washington ascended the State House steps to resign his Commission as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army here in December, 1783.

    In resigning, Gen. Washington asked nothing for himself, just for his officers.

    That same proud building is now infested with uneducated or subversive Maryland Democrats espousing their crude Mommyist ideas about establishing an Eastern European Soviet-socialist welfare state within the old borders of corrupt Democrat-gerrymandered Maryland, demanding everything for themselves.

    We would do better asking a room full of strangers -- chosen at random from the phone book -- to write Our Constitution than to rely on Democrats. Even then, they could never produce what Our Founders produced.

    Maryland Democrats, by actively working to dismantle Our Constitutional guarantees and protections that the Founders so wisely inscribed and bequeathed to us -- preserving the liberty won by the blood and sacrifice of true patriots -- are now deliberately ignoring their sworn oath to first protect and defend Our Constitution.

    Our legislators have the same responsibility as do our medical doctors: first, do no harm.

    Come to Annapolis to honor our Forefathers, to defend Our Constitution. Come in numbers.

    Great analysis in that quote from Deep Lurker.

    Sooo... "Snake," is their cute little inside baseball expression for the hidden agenda bills, huh?

    In addition to the apparent need for Gadsen flags to wave near the Statehouse in order for the Gadsden "DON'T TREAD ON ME" to reclaim its rightful place with respect to the Second Amendment, it might call for another new set of signs:

    "STOP MAKING AN
    'ASP' OF YOURSELF"



    "MILLER AND BUSH:
    STOP ACTING
    LIKE 'ASPS'"



    "STOP THE 'SNAKE ATTACK'
    ON MARYLANDERS' RIGHTS"

    I have mentioned the "toy gun" ban bill to a few people over the past several days, and was pleasantly surprised by the visceral reaction to it.

    It doesn't take a 2-A advocate or gun owner to understand that the MGA is going over the top.

    This one could get broad public opposition, if only the public knew about it. Unfortunately, Marylanders really don't pay much attention to what goes on in Annapolis.

    I'd love to see the reaction to a huge sign-waving campaign on feeder highways all over MD during rush hour. Think the legislators' phones would ring?

    To be able to claim something is "common sense" would require the one claiming it to ACTUALLY HAVE common sense. Most of the MGA does not qualify to be able to do that because they DON'T HAVE common sense.

    Did you maybe mean turn "common sense" into "nonsense"??????

    I would love to see some "common sense" gun laws. You know, stuff based on actual data and experience. Stuff that affects those who fall under the old definition of "criminal" rather than common sense laws that make formerly law-abiding citizens doing nothing maleficent into criminals.

    "Common Sense," a 48-page pamphlet written in 1775 by Thomas Paine but first published anonymously, advocated and helped spark the American Revolution.

    "Introduction

    Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.

    As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the means of calling the right of it in question, (and in matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry,) and as the king of England hath undertaken in his own right, to support the parliament in what he calls theirs, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpations of either..."

    Plan D? Not worth the hassle.
    Good points, all!!

    Our keepers (and their handlers) deserve praise only when doing things that actually benefit the public. But, as that happens so rarely, we should be calling these thinks as we really see them.

    It's not praise.it's a left handed compliment...no one on the receiving end fails to get the underlying disdain.

    Along with words like " with respect " ... my learned friends and so on...its the political equivalents of f.k you.


    But....it gives the opposition a face saving way of backing down... a form of verbal desecelation.

    Sometimes you need to decide if you want to fight or win...winning requires tact. It means letting your opposition surrender and accepting that surrender.
