    I walked into the Stark County Courthouse on Monday. After going through the scanner, I spoke with the two deputies for a few minutes - as I always do. The older one asked me where I lived and I told him Medina County. He asked me whether the 'people' in Medina County were openly talking about revolt against the government because of oppression 'like they are here'. In fact, people all over are saying 'the government has gone too far and something is going to happen.' This is the first time in my life that I've heard people openly discussing this.

    Just be careful, Dave. You never know who(m) is working for the "oppressors.
    They could make big trouble for you and you'll have to hire a lawyer.

    And Republicans these days and of yesteryear are worse than the the liberals of Carlin's day. Hiding, and never opposing one damn democrat's , destructive measure. He knew the whole thing was rigged into a Uniparty.

    .lThe Republicans generally cave in, but instead of giving the the left everything at one time, they just give the left their way incrementally.
