GOP Candidate: If We Lose Elections, We Still Have Guns

Where can I find my nearest bullet box?

By JIM NEWELL

Updated 6:01 PM EDT, Thu, Jul 16, 2009

Catherine Crabill is a realtor and "home-schooling mother of four," and now a politician too! In her very first political race, Crabill is challenging Virginia state Del. Albert Pollard, D-Lancaster.

If you bet on such things as "elections," you should probably bet on "Albert Pollard, D-Lancaster" to dispose of this new political lady. You know why? Because she's apparently insane, and very violent.

Crabill recently attended one of those "Tea Parties," where conservatives like to meet up and complain about Barack Obama for an afternoon. In an address to fellow rally-mates, Crabill stressed the importance of this November's state elections in stopping Marxism. But hey, if it doesn't work, she suggested, we can always have a violent revolution to overthrow the government -- it's what the Founding Fathers wanted all along!


"We have the chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box… But that's the beauty of our Second Amendment right. I am glad for all of us who enjoy the use of firearms for hunting, but make no mistake, that was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. Our Second Amendment right was to guard against tyranny."​


Eh, the Second Amendment was mostly thrown in there so folks countryside could pick off fugitive Lobsterbacks on the lam, and grizzly bears, and French fur traders. But anyway, Crabill denies stirring up any sort of violence with her statement about the "beauty" of shooting government officials when they started expanding health coverage, according to the Washington Post:


"I have no desire to see this country erupt in any kind of violent revolution," Crabill said. "I don't even own a gun."


Looking around a nation in which some people have been stockpiling weapons since Obama's victory, however, she said she worried where it all might lead. She said her speech was less a call to arms than a call for conservatives to mobilize for upcoming elections at all levels.

She was saying that the Obama administration is Marxist: therefore, if we don't succeed in getting rid of it in at the ballot box, we will need to take up arms against it.

Obama is no marxist, and this woman is a howling loon.

Of course he's not, he's a socialist communist Muslim christian Indonesian Kenyan born on US soil. Quite an amazing accomplishment, really.
I say he's a Marxist. I also say thatThe Donkey is thehowling loon if he can't see it. Or perhaps he just refuses to admit it as yet. After all he did vote for the commie.

Yea , cause our community organizer is an uniter not a divider .

He sure has united the conservatives and Second Amendment supporters .

I heard he is dividing the Democrats . Is that true ?

I'd think you'd know it by now if anyone has. Well people like William Ayers have.
I pray that you are right.
People feel pushed though, I see it everyday, I feel fear that it will be within the year before someone does something stupid. The reaction will be to push against gun owners which will exacerbate the situation. You can do the math on where it goes from there.

It's definitely getting to that point. There is a definite "line in the sand" that we will not be pushed across. If it gets to that point, there will be armed revolution in this country....and I think much of the military would be on our side, being like minded individuals, for the most part.

One thing that many Americans have either forgotten or have never been taught.The Framerssaw fit to include a number of safeguards in our founding documents. One of those items, perhaps the most important of all, is the fact that they reserved to the people the right to "throw off" despotic government and to institute new government as they saw fit.

Yes, gentlemen. We certainly do have the right to take up arms against the government should the need arise, to over throw it and provide "new Guards" for our "future Secutity". We not only have the right, but also the duty to do this. This can be found in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. We should all pick it up and read if from time to time.

This goes beyond recognition of the purposes of the 2A, which include the ability to take up arms against tyrannical government.

This is about taking up arms against this government under the mistaken assumption that it is tyrannical.

I hope that conservatives are far too conservative to be taken in by an extremist agenda posing as right wing populism.

But but... the Federal Government has said it's illegal to attempt to overthrow the government. They said it's illegal! We don't have a right if they say it's illegal. Duh!

/end sarcasm

I'm continually amazed at the number of people who don't realize that our Founding Fathers would be domestic terrorists under today's world. Could you imagine locking up George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Adams, and other assorted luminaries?

I consider the Declaration of Independence to be our foundation document, one that was built on top of by the Constitution and finally roofed by the Bill of Rights.

If you live in the house of The People, then you live by our rules. The government at large isn't doing so.

Where are people saying that it's come to that?

It sounds more like people are saying it's comming to, or getting to that, but not that it's time.

With all due respect, on reading this thread, your statement above makes it sound like your the one taking things to an extreme.

You said:

When in truth she clarified it, indicating she espoused no such thing.

What you said above is quite different from:
"I have no desire to see this country erupt in any kind of violent revolution," Crabill said. "I don't even own a gun."
or,

Looking around a nation in which some people have been stockpiling weapons since Obama's victory, however, she said she worried where it all might lead. She said her speech was less a call to arms than a call for conservatives to mobilize for upcoming elections at all levels.

This doesn't even sound close to what you portray.

Actually, our government IS tyranical. We have several agencies who's entire mandate is to deprive you of rights. BATFE is one of them. Look at the country from the eyes of our Founders. We passed tyranical a LONG time ago.
