See my post at #46.

Bush has done a lot of things right. But he also royally screwed up on so many others. The gun issue is, to me, the bright line test of any pol. If he doesn't respect my rights, he doesn't get my vote.

If we ever expect the GOP to again respect those rights, we must treat them like the self gratifying children that they are. Punish them. Spank them. Vote them out of office. If we allow them to behave as dems and treat us the dems would, we will never get their attention or respect.

They want power. They'll do whatever they think will get them elected and reelected even if that means selling us out. If they do, I say screw 'em. Fire their sorry asses.

As bad as x41 was, WE SURVIVED. We got tough. We got strong. We got organized. We can survive an enemy in the camp. We cannot survive a 'friend' who behaves like the enemy.

If Bush signs the AWB, he will lose and I'll do more than just withhold my vote. If one of the dwarves want to start CWII by taking our guns, OUR FREEDOM, - MOLON LABE! The ones that sign the orders will be at just as much risk as those they send to collect them.

Read Enemies, Foreign and Domestic. Let your pubbie politicians friends know what awaits them if they let Bush sign an extension of the law.

Yep vote them out only to let Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein gain more power. Real good strategery there. Sometimes I think you "Molon Labe" guys are their best friends. Look the AWB ban probably won't even make it through the House, but if you base your vote on one issue, so be it. Just remember that GW Bush did sign a CCW bill in Texas, something Ann Richards wouldn't do.

Hey Ray beat your chest all you want, you will get plenty of huzzahs on FR, but you will get whispers of "gun nut" by the people you met last night at the Clark meeting and probably 90% of people you meet out on the street.

Sorry to say but your rhetoric turns off people. Instead of repeating the mantra of "Enemies, Foreign, and Domestic" 1,000 times in peoples faces, how about trying to explain why the AWB ban is wrong. I know that isn't as sexy to you as shouting, "All enemies, foreign and domestic", but you may change minds using the soft sell, instead of the hard sell.

"...As bad as x41 was, WE SURVIVED..."

Thanks for the post, and for the visit. I hope you meant X42! I, too, am quite disappointed with the present path. I have tried to think that they intend to "fix" things when they have enough votes in Congress, but things look sorrier every day.
I will hold my nose, and vote for W's reelection, but sure wish we had a true conservative to support! The gun issue IS important, but the whole "give away the future" thing, turns my stomach! Small g'umt? Where?
Thank you , Ronald Reagan!

I support the second amendment but as for allowing free rein to islamic fundamentalists the right to possess guns...NOT!

I have a problem reconciling gun rights for terrorists...you know?
