snip:
Later, I worked for years in the Deep South as a full-time civil rights organizer. Like a martyred friend of mine, NAACP staffer Medgar W. Evers, I, too, was on many Klan death lists and I, too, traveled armed: a .38 special Smith and Wesson revolver and a 44/40 Winchester carbine.
The knowledge that I had these weapons and was willing to use them kept enemies at bay. Years later, in a changed Mississippi, this was confirmed by a former prominent leader of the White Knights of the KKK when we had an interesting dinner together at Jackson.
In the 1970s, I was Southside director of the large, privately-funded Chicago Commons Association. Our primary focus involved assisting minority people in developing sensible community organizations — vis-a-vis schools, city services, anti-crime.
We were opposed by white racist organizations (e.g., Nazi Party) and various youth gangs of many sorts. My staff and I received countless death threats, there were arson attacks on our offices, and, on one occasion, men with weapons came to my home and told my wife and children that they intended to kill me. (I happened to be at work.)
Again, I was glad I had many firearms and, again, we guarded our home and let this be known. We responded to hate calls on the telephone by telling the callers we were quite prepared for them.
For Salter, the right to own a handgun was apparently a crucial part of his ability to exercise his right to defend himself and his family, which was a sine qua non of his ability to stay alive in order to exercise his First Amendment rights to advocate for enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Angela is a Fox News contributor and an author...she was a democrat. Then she had ideas for improving inner city youth and black communities, but when she went to dem politicians with her ideas they were not interested, but the Republicans were interested....she then realized that the dems have no interest in seeing blacks better themselves and want them dependent....
This would explain her “moderate” or RINO views and tendencies...
the key for all of us is to support folks when they are right and call them out when they are wrong, but don’t become blind fans to anyone....that is what I call Fan Club Hollywood politics...it is no good for anyone....
People let us down.... none are perfect...but we also need to forgive sometimes when folks are wrong and not throw the baby out with the bath water....just like we do with people in our personal lives....know who to keep and who to avoid....
Can we get an IQ check on her before I comment. I don’t want to say anything bad about someone who may be impaired.
Wow, you sound like Dr. Phil.....
LOL!!
sorry—
my point is that I had many reasons to support Bush, and a lot of reasons he pissed me off....we have to be able to stick to issues, not personalities...
Same with Rush or Beck....I don’t agree with them on everything- both have ticked me off or disappointed me at times...but I don’t bash them... I continue to listen and support them and learn from them...
some folks get their feelings hurt, or disagree with a talkie or a candidate and jump to bash them....just silly to me....
this blind worship of people (or the letter by their name) is what got us into this mess....
I believe that the right to possess firearms arms is a right that is bestowed upon everyone. I do not believe that anyone, even convicted felons should be prevented from possessing or carrying firearms.
But I do believe that every crime committed with a firearm should be severely punished. Armed robbery, no less than a decade served behind bars. Armed robbery and someone gets injured a decade and a half served in prison before any parole. Someone dies, a few decades behind bars and that is if you get let out at all. Crimes with firearms where no one is injured and there is no criminal intent should be misdemeanors.
Wow. I listened to the whole thing. What a state-worshiping idiot.
Congress does not get to decide how many guns I get to own and if it is too many....not real complicated......
Angela is a big fat opportunist and time waster....
I must agree with you. Hope we can get the word out fast. “my daddy taught me to shoot when i was seven” - what’s that got to do with pigs in china?
she is totally clue-less on the issue.
And i almost liked her.
Because legislators, being only human, can only know so much about any given topic. They may in some cases be experts in limited areas, but it is impossible to be an expert in everything. It is up to those who are experts in the general public to make their expertise available. If folks in favor of gun rights don't, you can bet that the Brady Bunch will fill their ears with good-sounding but bogus "information".
if she doesn’t know already, it is too darn late my friend, if she is wanting to run on my side of politics. it’s almost like a mental disorder when you don’t fully understand the 2nd.
listen to it again...she’s blind on the issue.
THANK YOU!!!
Actually, I think you will find that your views on guns are exactly in line with what most Conservatives believe. I’m a pretty rabid pro-gun type, and I agree with you on every point you raised. Punish the criminals severely when convicted, and leave the rest of the populace alone.
You can vote for her if you’re predisposed to. I just happen to think that knowing something about the Second Amendment of our most basic document of governance is not ‘specialization’, nor does it require extraordinary study. This is a basic right, granted to us (along with other unalienable rights like freedom by God) and reinforced and elaborated on by the founders in this document. It isn’t rocket science. There isn’t much to wonder about the phrase “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED....” Any other explanation for this is just explaining away a tendency to RINOism.
I’m with you.
we need possible officials who can pass the test NOW!
That's ridiculous. The problem is not that she was lacking in knowledge of factual minutiae about guns or gun control. The 2nd Amendment is 26 words long, and that's all she needs to know about it. If her instincts are to yield additional power and authority to the government at the expense of the individual, that's 180 degrees off of what the Constitution says, and what the Tea Party movement is about.
And if it's unreasonable to expect would-be "legislators" to know even the Bill of Rights, what on earth SHOULD they know?
Does this chap your backside like it does mine? These two issues: guns / abortion, will tell you more about folks than any other. Stand hard on these and i can trust you with all i have. Waver just a bit, and i won’t trust you. period.
Wow, talk about being completely ignorant. angela has lost all credibility.
Since I don't live in Missippi, nor likely to ever, I'm in no position to vote for or against her.
"I just happen to think that knowing something about the Second Amendment of our most basic document of governance is not ‘specialization’, nor does it require extraordinary study.

I agree with pretty much all of the above, but lots of folks today are completely clueless about the Constitution, having never been taught, nor know how to educate themselves. In the face of that lack, it is up to those who ARE knowledgeable to make the effort to teach. If the student then refuses to learn, fail them.
