Yep, I'll bet he does extend it, as an "outreach" to the liberals. He could care less about the BOR.

I like Arizona, but it lacks an ocean.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." (Thomas Jefferson) Why is it that liberals think that Jefferson's "seperation of church and state" writings (taken out of context,BTW) are the absolute LAST word in religious vs. government matters yet his writings on the 2A mean nothing?

Perhaps because this particular one, he didn't say, or at least no one can find when he said or wrote it, and there are some pretty complete books of his writings and speaches out there. This one is sometime seen with a citation, but the citation is a mangled one, a version of one such collection, but with the editor wrong, and the title mangled.. and what's worse, the quotation is not to be found there.. I looked personally, took a 1/2 day of vaction to do it too.

However your basic point is well taken. Jefferson did have lots to say about keeping and bearing arms. All of it pro arms rights and pro shooting sports as well. He also penned that little ditty about the blood of tyrants and patriots.

It seems the liberals crowd the shores of the oceans in this country. I'm for taking philetus to Arizona with me. I've taken him to the range, he's a good rifleman.

[El Gato]

Well wait, atleast the Democritters do respect personal privacy.

That all depends on what you want to do in private. Smoking wacky weed is OK, but not Tabacky. Doing cocaine is OK, but they're less enthusiatic about booze. You want to shoot in private, or practice anything but a very mainstream religion, well they'll send in the BATFErs to shoot you, and/or the FBIies to burn you out. Oh, and they 'll put you in jail and set your bail at $100,000 for selling a wimpy .380 handgun to a cop over a decade ago. (Guy is, AFAIK, still in jail in Chicago)

It's hard to imagine the USA remaining a Pacific superpower without Kali. It's the old question, stay and fight what may be a lost cause, or move out, and hope the center can hold.

[El Gato]

It's hard to imagine the USA remaining a Pacific superpower without Kali.

I know there are problems in Washington and Oregon as well, but as long as we have the many ports, or bays that could be developed into Naval Bases, we don't really need California. Besides, if you carved out SF and LA, and maybe San Diego, you'd still have lots of good places for ports, although none as good as SF bay, and a pretty places as well.

sorry to have missed the party. good article. thanks for the ping.

The GWs are socialists.

The Clintons' DNC Politburo are fascists, criminally corrupt socialists.

Both comprise the Incumbent Party. As Hillary proclaimed, "The Party is the country." IMO, she meant her Politburo is heaven on earth for totalitarian socialists.

Surely Hillary and company remember that her guiding light, V. Lenin was shot in his head, dying of a possibly related stroke only a few years later. (The angry socialist shooter was shot in her head, dying at the hands of the secret police.)

The Incumbents want you and your children disarmed. Partyline blackrobes can be counted on to contrive "compelling State interests" to reinterpret the actual meaning of our 2nd Amendment to void the RTKABA. The 9th Circuit has so ruled. As AlGore says, 'That is "controlling legal authority".

We don't need to be able to defend ourselves - because we are at war with islamists' global terrorism.

Watch how SCOTUS rules on Campaign Finance Reform heard yesterday 9/08/03. SCOTUS will have to deny our 1st Amendment to allow it. If so, our 2nd is next to be attacked by SCOTUS. Smug, SCOTUS will dare us. You can bet that the Executive and Congress will be nervous. Our federal government, EFAD, will have burned Concord Bridge and start with their Wacos all over America.

Rhenquist has lead an outlaw court repeatedly ruling to void our Bill of Rights as if they had the lawful authority and power to destroy the very Constitution from which they derive any and all of their lawful authority.

Fix the law, incumbants. Or we meet in Lexington.
