RI is known for Out-Of-Staters (Carpetbaggers) buying up RI Real Estate at inflated prices, thus making it impossible for Native Rhode Islanders (or most average income people) to afford to live in many areas of RI.
RI has also been a One-Party state for the last 80 years or so. This Party is the Democrat Party, of course. Since RI comes in as "the worst" in most surveys of things, it is apparent that the Democrats need more then 80 years of "One-Party" rule to fully implement the "Worker's Paradise" they promised long ago. |

We used to be a leader in fighting for liberty.
June 1772 we burned a British ship to the waterline after shooting the captain in the balls. The Gaspee Affair  In July of 1777 some Rhode Islanders rowed down the bay, snuck into the British perimeter and captured a British general named Prescott. This is purportedly his sword- Prescotts page  We had the first integrated unit in the Army- Varnums Regiment. Varnums Regiment- 1st Rhode Island Regiment   We once produced men- well, attracted them- Varnum was born in Dracut, Massachusetts- who risked it all for an idea. James Mitchell Varnum  We were the first state to use a coiled rattlesnake and "Don't Tread on Me" on a flag, the United Companies of the Train of Artillery of the Town of Providence.  UTA Helmet of Captain-Lieutenant Benejah Carpenter, killed at the Battle of Long Island August 1776  We USED to be all of this, and more. Nathaniel Greene, who was second only to Washington, is a hometown boy.  Esek Hopkins CinC of the Continental Navy. Thomas Tew, the Rhode Island pirate Nowadays piracy is pretty much the sole dominion of government. We used to be a state that cared about freedom, and liberty, and virtue in public service. But we got lazy, and apathetic, and corrupt, like may places have. Some still carry that spirit of noble sacrifice- our National Guard has made numerous deployments since 9-11. We have Airborne Infantry, Special Force, Artillery, MP's, Intel, C-130's, 2 aviation companies, had an LRS unit, Mountain Infantry, and others. All have multiple deployments. As some have said above- Newport mansions Beautiful coastline Small Hot Weiners Chowder and clamcakes Beautiful forests Guidos Driving more than 15 minuets anywhere is an overnight trip Great food I know a guy The Temple of Doom (the DMV) |

Huge Props to Tim, who has put the best possible, historical, face on RI. Well-Done. Much to respect in RI's past, and much to fear in RI's future, as far as RKBA is concerned. I will fight along with you all, but I have a "Plan B". I suggest that you consider such.
It may well be possible that we RKBA people, we "Constitutionalists" can maintain the RKBA in RI. I sure hope so. After all, RI was basically threatened/dragged-in to the Constitution. Last State to do so. I've been fighting (in my own way) for RI RKBA since the early '90's. Been there, done that. Know all the legendary people, like Perry Wheeler, who was a pretty astute guy, and knew how to deal with the Legislators. I WILL continue to make my voice known to my legislators, and the pertinent Committee members. I WILL continue the Battle. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Lobsters and mobsters. And the worst governance in the country. Not just corrupt, but incompetent. I used think RI was the worst, in terms of incompetence/corruption, but the more my experience grows, I'm not so sure. RI is certainly in the running in the "race for the bottom", but there are other States very much in the contest. What almost all of these States have in common, is a long-term political dominance by a political Party. RI certainly has that, being dominated by Democrats since the early '30s of the last century. But, to repeat, there are similar States fully engaged towards finding a new bottom. Saying RI is the absolute worst insults the criminal efforts of the folks in other States, and disrespects them. Such hard-working criminals and incompetents should get respect for their hard work. Yes, some sarcasm is definitely intended in this last. |
