Don't forget your gun...

@OGG, in reading your second to last sentence in Reply #12, it appears that you were verbose with words, so I took out the extra ones to extract what you really said which is: "making a lot of money, which I do". Yep, thought so.  Tax time is just around the corner.  Pack it up and load up the Treasury!

Nope. We get by, but tax hikes for the wealthy wouldn't come near us.
I'm an Eisenhower Liberal... let's put the income taxes where they were in the 1950's, and build some roads & bridges!

Old, gray and extinguished as you are, you'd remember this on black&white TV.  I do. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YmCDaXeDRI4

I live in north Wilmington and have spent the last 6 months looking on Trulia at properties in Chester, Berks, Lancaster and Bucks Counties. I have even toured several houses and open houses on the weekends. I have lived here for most of my life, but the last 5 years have been the worst. The stores, traffic, banks, theaters, etc. are not what they used to be. I feel like an outsider most of the time. The city of Wilmington is a shell of what is was even 30 years ago and has moved out of the city limits, as there are few stores, etc. that have survived in the city. Now the suburbs are getting trashed. I have no intention of being here in 5 years, hopefully less.

Carful. Pointing out how crappy the place has gotten and shifted to the sub urbs can get some bad names hurled your way.

Oh boy, another misfire! Not quite the response I had expected but you did "rise to the bait".  Love the Upton Sinclair quote.  My implication was, that since the government has all the answers, any self-respecting liberal would believe every official pontification, and "not worry". But since you did not respond as expected, I am doubting your credentials.  Your turn

You seem to be mistaking me for the media caricature of a liberal...   
I trust the government about as much as you do. I simply believe that making millionaires much richer over decades by slashing their taxes, while failing to build upon or even maintain infrastructure built by Eisenhower, has been a disaster.
I don't want to raise your taxes... unless you're making a huge amount of money, in which case I do. Guilty as charged!

Gray there has to be a word besides liberal.

You like guns, you don't believe in raping the taxpayer and basically seem to support individual freedom. Are you maybe a libertarian?

I know I get identity crisis all the time. As one of the more conservative gun owners on the web in Delaware it shocks many that I still carry democratic party affiliation althought I don't vote that way.

Look up "Classical Liberalism" in Wikipedia (link below):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

The current Liberal-Progressives have warped the whole idea.
The word "Liberal" has been redefined lately to be what we used to call Socialists.

Liberalism desperately needs to go back to its roots.

Great post!!!!   The hijacked term "liberal" of today is 100% the opposite of the true meaning.   

Jefferson was a true liberal!!!

In response to the thread title..
I am very glad that my wife and I have our CCDW.  We live in Middletown and in the last few months, the reported incidents of violence seem to have increased and closer to home.  Pizza delivery guy mugged in my neighborhood, gas station and pizza store robbed just north of town.  My wife having her office across the street from the pizza shop and gas station and the mugging in the neighborhood are real eye openers to remaining alert and vigilant.  Take care and be aware.

It is truly a sick world. The thing many don't realize is that we are responsible for our own safety. I forget the case, but there was a case in one of the courts that said police don't have a duty to protect or something to that effect.

Justices (SCOTUS) Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone

Even if someone has a court issued protective order
