The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the largest and
heaviest fighter aircraft
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_aircraft
in history to be
powered by a single piston engine
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine.
It was
heavily armed with eight .50-caliber machine guns
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_Browning_machine_gun,
four per
wing. When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, and
in the fighter-bomber ground-attack roles could carry five-inch
rockets or a significant bomb load of 2,500 pounds; it could
carry over half the payload of the B-17 bomber
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortress
on
long-range missions (although the B-17 had a far greater range).
The P-47, based on the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_R-2800
Double
Wasp engine, was to be very effective as a short-to-medium range
escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_warfare
and, when unleashed
as a fighter-bomber, proved especially adept at ground attack
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-attack_aircraft
in both the
World War II European

/>and Pacific

Theaters.

For otto, one of the problems with the "wingnuts," as he calls
them, is that they seem to be growing....
37% of Voters Fear the Federal Government
Friday, April 18, 2014
Thirty-seven percent (37%) of Likely U.S. Voters now fear the
federal government, according to a new Rasmussen Reports
national telephone survey. Forty-seven percent (47%) do not, but
another 17% are not sure.
Perhaps in part that’s because 54% consider the federal
government today a threat to individual liberty rather than a
protector. Just 22% see the government as a protector of
individual rights, and that’s down from 30% last November.
Slightly more (24%) are now undecided. (To see survey question
wording, click here.)
As recently as December 2012, voters were evenly divided on this
question: 45% said the federal government was a protector of
individual rights, while 46% described it as a threat to those
rights.
Two-out-of-three voters (67%) view the federal government today
as a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own
interests. Just 17% disagree, while 15% are undecided.
Only 19% now trust the federal government to do the right thing
most or nearly all the time, down from 24% in June of last year.
Eighty percent (80%) disagree, with 44% who trust the government
to do the right thing only some of the time and 36% who say it
rarely or never does the right thing.
Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters believe that if America’s
Founding Fathers came back today, they would regard the federal
government as too big. Just three percent (3%) think the
nation’s founders would consider the government too small, while
21% say they would view the size of the federal government as
about right.
(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in
our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on
Twitter or Facebook.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on April 15-16,
2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3
percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for
all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion
Research, LLC. See methodology.
Just 19% of voters believe the federal government today has the
consent of the governed.
Men and those 40 and over are more likely to fear the federal
government than women and younger voters.
Democrats, as they do in most instances, have a less critical
view of the federal government than Republicans and voters not
affiliated with either of the major parties. Most GOP voters
(53%) and 43% of unaffiliateds fear the federal government. Just
18% of voters in President Obama’s party agree.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of Republicans and 59% of
unaffiliated voters view the government as a threat to
individual liberty, a view shared by only 34% of Democrats. GOP
and unaffiliated voters are twice as likely as Democrats to
believe that the federal government rarely or never does the
right thing.
Majorities of all three groups, however, agree that the
government has become a special interest group that looks out
primarily for its own interests.
Forty-two percent (42%) of voters with a gun in their household
fear the federal government, compared to 30% of those who do not
have a gun in their home. Fifty-two percent (52%) of union
members share that fear versus 35% of those who are not
unionized.
Sixty percent (60%) of all voters favor a smaller government
with fewer services and lower taxes over a more active
government with more services and higher taxes.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Republican voters think Republicans
in Congress have lost touch with the party’s base throughout the
nation. By contrast, 63% of Democratic voters believe Democrats
in Congress have done a good job representing their party's
values.
Just six percent (6%) of voters nationwide now rate Congress’
job performance as good or excellent. Seventy-two percent (72%)
say it would be better for the country if most members of the
current Congress were defeated this November.

And as soon as that underground facility in Utah is finished,
the government will know how you spend every dollar you earn and
where and what you buy. This spying crap has gone too far. With
the GPS tracking devices in the cars you wont be able to go see
your Aunt without the government knowing where you are. Just
think if criminals got this information they'd know when the
best time to break into your house and steal your belongings.

That license plate tracking stuff is Orwellian for sure.
Ridiculous and should definately be challenged and defeated in
court.

I am nearly always far less concerned with what criminals might
do to me than with what government might do to me, and as
government accumulates ever more information about all of us,
and becomes more adept at processing and using it, we will
eventually reach a point when it will become virtually
impossible for the people to effectively resist, organize
against or revolt against oppression... because the government
will not only know as soon as any effort is attempted, it will
be able to predict it before it happens. The more effectively
government is able to crush a revolt which has begun, or to
choke off a revolt before it begins, the less concern government
will have about overreaching the powers it is to legitimately
exercise.

Too late. Too many people including the newly indoctrinated
youth care little for individual rights and liberty. They don't
care how intrusive government is as long as they are getting
free stuff from that same government. Too bad they won't realize
until it's too late that is isn't really free and what they've
lost will never be regained.
