Wow...I wonder why the “full faith and credit” clause in the Constitution applies to queers who want to bugger each other (which ISN’T in the Constitution), but it doesn’t apply to my RIGHT to keep (own, possess) and bear (carry, tote, hoist, schlep) a firearm where and how I choose (which IS in the Constitution)...

As a native of New York and a current resident of New Jersey, I have been saying this for years.

My friend, WHY, if you are a Second Amendment man, would you EVER live in New Jersey? Semi-freedom lies just across the river...although with the POS DemCom Governor that PA has, it might be slipping even more towards the Socialist Utopia of Neu Jersey...

For myself, I will carry WHEN and WHERE I choose. Free men do NOT have to ask permission from their public servants whether or not they can defend their lives. I will tolerate and attempt to comply with a law only up to the point where it endangers my life.

Better to be judged by Twelve than carried by six.

I find it darkly humorous that for exercising a STATED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, I risk being arrested and treated like a common thug criminal...and then those very same LEO’s, who SHOULD know better, send me letters asking me to donate to some Police Chief Association or Policeman’s Widow Association or support some other Law Enforcement organization...

When LEOs support MY right to carry a firearm to defend to my life, WHEREVER I AM, then I will support them. Other than that, all bets are off.

Retired LEOs are basically the only folks who can get concealed carry licenses in NJ, part of a deal that Kean made, I believe, to get the union endorsement years ago.

I spent two years in Washington state, where I carried my .40 legally. When I moved back here two years ago, I had to apply for a license to POSSESS a firearm at the local PD, which I find places an undue burden on my constitutional rights.

If only an activist judge could throw NY and NJs fascistic infringements on my rights OUT, it would send the Trenton Mafia through the roof.

“If Only an activist judge...” won’t cut it, my friend. “Acitivist Judges” are, by defintion, commie/socialist scumbags who aren’t fit to wear the robe.

YOU be the judge; run for office. Or get someone else that you know and trust, maybe someone from your gun club, or another organization, to run for that office.

The problem is, these communist A**Holes read their Saul Alinsky “Rules For Radicals”. That B*stard said (and he was RIGHT) that instead of complaining about it and taking to the streets, which does nothing, YOU BE THE DELEGATE. YOU BE THE JUDGE. YOU BE THE SENATOR. That’s how you change things.

And they did. All those commie hippie A**Holes became the positions mentioned above.

And here we are now... They had their little revolution after all - they’re just using LAW instead of bullets in the back of the head this time.

THAT comes later, when they’ve gotten control of everything.

IF they get control, that is.

“Rules For Radicals” shoud be required reading for ALL FREEPERS out here - then maybe it wouldn’t be such a mystery as to “how this is happening here” , “why is this happening here”.

Then read “Boston’s Gun Bible”.

They, and all their little psycho/pervert fringe groups are ORGANIZED, we are NOT. They control the media, control the judiciary in a lot of places, and control legislatures.

And unfortunately, I think nothing short of Civil War Part III will right it. Hope I’m wrong.

I wonder if I could seek political asylum at the Vatican?

The Vatican is 50% percent gay - more than New York or San Francisco. BTW: Not kidding.

cranes are falling. construction at WTC site is years behind schedule. no olympics. east side subway never completing. worst airports in the country.

but our civic leaders are on the forefront for transfats, gay rights, and smoking bans.

keep up the excellent work. expect a 10 to 20 billion revenue shortfall this year in NYC alone. NYS double that. its going to take federal bailout this time.

GOD’s quite busy, as he has 212 nations to bless at last count - or are you implying God should spend the majority of His/Her time blessing the USA ? I’ve looked for a biblical reference to help me, but I can’t find one.

LOL

I could not have put it better myself

strange isn’t it that the second amendment is not adhered to or it is fought against yet these queers can skip around in the men’s case or in the women’s case trounce and barge around telling us that they are normal and that they should be married as it is their constitutional right.

mmmm, nothing about queers getting married in the constitution. there is however my right to bear arms .

actually isn’t there sodomy laws still in some states????

anyone???????????

“...actually isn’t there sodomy laws still in some states...”

Well, believe it or not, I think “sodomy laws” are unconstitutional; you can’t legislate someone’s sex preference/behavior, nor can you enforce it unless you go around peeking into peoples’ bedrooms. And it’s wrong to do so. If two guys want to bugger each other and get AIDS and die, let them. I don’t care at all. They’re not hurting anyone but themselves.

What I DO care about is the inordinate amount of power their political movement is gathering. That should worry ALL of us.

Lewd conduct in a public place is one thing and should NEVER be tolerated; but what people do with each other in the privacy of their own homes, by mutual consent, is a bedrock principle of the Constitution (Fourth Amendment) and should be jealousy guarded by ALL Conservatives. What if they passed a law saying a Christian couldn’t pray in his own home? Or read the Bible in his own home? I’d fight that by any means necessary.

I think they have a right to be any way they want to be; but they DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO FORCE THEIR BELIEF ON ME or my children or your children and then call it “normal”. They DO NOT have a right to use the coercive power of the state to force their mentality on the rest of us, to use the threat of JAIL for saying it is unnatural/abnormal, etc.,

Respect is mutual; “you leave ME the F**K alone, I leave YOU the F**K alone, everyone goes away happy and buys a cheeseburger and Coke”. Basic principle of life. When people cross that line, trouble starts.

“Live and Let Live” is a concept that the liberals do NOT understand. They will RAM whatever little perverse brainfart they come up with down everyone’s throat, and then call you homophobic, racist, sexist, genderist, global-warming denier, etc., when you disagree with them. Failing that, they will attempt to JAIL you as well. They need to be fought and beaten down, by any means necessary. If its a political battle at the moment, so be it. If it’s a rhetorical battle, so be it. If it goes “hot” - so be it. Their choice.

Sounds an AWFUL lot like the Soviets and the Nazis to me. It’s right out of the commie playbook.

you and I have some what the same idea about this I think sorry for this being a long read, oif you get to the end Although I find what they do disgusting, although I think they are perverted or maybe confused mentally I think what anyone did in their bedroom is there right. I do not nor do I think it is right on how they are going about smashing their idea's and way of life in peoples faces and then calling those people names because they do not agree. I find that intolerant If the queers stayed inthe closet I would not be bothered at all, but they now are trying to brainwash my children and this countries future generation at schools, they are trying to change laws by judges, and they are trying to force their lifestyle unto others . At that I have a problem and will fight them every turn from now on. I just hope many others around the country wake up and realise that these libs and queers are making a mockery of our laws. I was driving once in my wifes car and it has a sticker saying man and woman = marriage a woman drives by and starts yelling about how I am wrong . homophobic etc I do not nor do I ever just sit down and take the abuse. I came right back at her and told her she was the one who is intolerant and narrow minded as she does not think that those who have a different view to her should have a voice or be heard. Every time I hear homophobic I as well I hope others turn around and point out that phobic means to live in fear, to be scared, I am not living in fear nor am I scared of homo's, I disagree with them. So they are the ones who are showing they are thick as they are using words they do not know the meaning of Anyway She heard my accent and was losing her temper when she suddenly lost it and shouted, wait for it guess what she said yes she told me that I should go home and I do not belong in this country I am from Manchester England and have a strong accent, nothing like Joan collins or the Queen. I even write as I talk, so sorry for that I immediately sprang on what she said and turned the tables once more and did what the libs like to do and played her at her own game and called her bigoted etc she drove as fast as she could to get away knowing she just displayed what she is supposed to stand against I myself found it comical as I do not mind what anyone calls me, she did. That in it self just shows it is the left who are narrow minded and intolerant They look at groups. saying about diversity , lets put timmy with simon and have the chinese kid next to the black kid next to the hispanic kid next to the muslims kid well us on the right look at it as they are all children and not bothered about which colour, religion people are, They are all children. which is why I suppose the dims have to have groups of different voters to get votes, affirmative action is a racist programme. why not just say hey you do good then get the job, not hey you did alright but you're black so we'll give you the job before the other guy who did great. going off topic here so sorry for the rant but I think you know where I was going

Personally, I would have given her the finger, blew her a kiss, flashed my biggest, brightest smile, and then promptly cut in front of her, maybe with a light tap on the brakes for good measure...

That’s how I deal with A**holes.

Like I said - respectful debate is one thing. Abuse deserves neither respect, debate, nor good manners.

Contempt is what abuse deserves.

As far as you being from England - welcome to my country, and I have your six, always. I think it’s safe to say that 95% of the Freepers out here have each others’ six.

If we all don’t stick together, the commies/animals/thugs/perverts/libs (redundancy alert) of the world win.

thanks for the welcome,

As for the last paragraph I entirely strongly agree, it is sad and sometimes frustraing when you meet someone or even talk to a neighbour etc and they agree with you but can’t be bothered to do anything about it.

saying that I will not give up and I will keep trying to tell as many people as possible about how the libs, homo’s etc are trying to ruin the great country
