Just a short explanation, those symbols at the end of the title of this posting are called Hashtags. They are for when I complete this Blog posting, it will go out over twitter, and I want the proper people to see it. That is what those are for.

As a rule, I tend to keep an arms distance away from people like Alex Jones and the conspiracy theory crowd. There are reasons for this; one of them, is found here:
This is via Wired.com’s “Threat Level” Blog….:
An Oklahoma City man who announced on Twitter that he would turn an April 15 tax protest into a bloodbath was hit with a federal charge of making interstate threats last week, in what appears to be first criminal prosecution to stem from posts on the microblogging site.
Daniel Knight Hayden, 52, was arrested by FBI agents who identified him as the Twitter user CitizenQuasar. In a series of tweets beginning April 11, CitizenQuasar
vowed to start a “war” against the government on the steps of the Oklahoma City Capitol building, the site of that city’s version of the national “Tea Party” protests promoted by the conservative-leaning Fox News.
“START THE KILLING NOW! I am willing to be the FIRST DEATH!,” read a tweet at 8:01 PM that day. “After I am killed on the Capitol Steps, like a REAL man, the rest of you will REMEMBER ME!!!,” he added five minutes later. Then: “Send the cops around. I will cut their heads off the heads and throw the[m] on the State Capitol steps.”
Hayden’s MySpace page is a breathtaking gallery of right wing memes about the “New World Order,” gun control as Nazi fascism, and Barack Obama’s covert use of television hypnosis, among many others.
In addition to the threats, many of Hayden’s tweets fixated on another Oklahoma City man whom he erroneously believed was in charge of the city’s tea party demonstration.
“He seemed to know stuff about me, but I don’t know how or why,” says Earl Shaffer. “He called me a few days before that tea party and let me know somehow he got my name as one of the organizers. I don’t have the energy.”
My only word of caution of my follow Conservative Bloggers; both Neo and Paleo Conservative, is to be extremely careful of whom you make alliances with. I have a sinking feeling that the F.B.I. is, in fact, doing surveillance on Conservative blogs for threatening language. I mean with the leak of the documents from the DHS about the right wing extremists, and now the arrest of this man. I believe it would behoove all Bloggers to check all of your links and users of twitter to evaluate just whom you are following. Henceforth, I have removed some questionable material from my Blog. Which consisted of a Internet radio feed, that is run by a group that tends to run along those lines; that being conspiracy theory.
Having said all this; let me remind my readers that there is nothing wrong with political dissent. However, political dissent that either is borderline unlawful or does outright break the law, does fly in the face of what Conservative principles are truly about. We are Conservatives; we are not, however, lawless radicals. The only way to beat the socialists is through intelligent debate, not by the use or means of violence. This is why I admired William F. Buckley Jr.; He was such an intellectual, we could always debate the points of socialism, without resorting to the base behavior of many of the political pundits of today.
Anyhow, take my advice for what it is. Remember freedom is a wonderful thing. Personal freedom is even better. Jail sucks. Keep your nose clean. 😀
It’s not the first time this has happened. In fact, doesn’t this kind of thing happen all the time on Alex Jones blogs and comments? It’s hard to know when to take something like this seriously. The funny thing is the offender turns out to be 52 when I usually associate this kind of thing with 15 year old kids.
However, if anyone has reason to believe a threat like this is real or credible, why wait for the FBI to talk to you? If we honestly though we knew about somebody about to do violence at a public gathering I hope we’d act to prevent it.
Hell no, If we dont speak our mind we have already lost to much freedom and it time for somthing… Never make direct threats time place an such, if you do that your asking for trouble, but never be silent out of fear….
I speak my mind and I believe that humans will be killed off to cut back on our expanding world population. China is either going to start killing in there country or kill in another country and take the land. They will need more land if they grow their population. I myself will die within a few years hopefully of old age. I wish no death or ill health on anyone. I do feel that some of our leaders do not feel the same. There may be a group out there that wants to dominate the world. They will stop at nothing. The old America would never let that happen. But.
