Sounds like you guys need to put some used brass in the collection plate.

It’s not the GOP members in the south, midwest, or west that concern me. It’s the RINOS in the cities and Northeast that are the problem.

Oh, I’ve read Feinstein and the Left has fantasies about her proposals being enacted into law. But, they are fantasies. Even Harry Reid won’t sign up for the stuff she is putting out. It’s political theater designed to convince the American people that they are putting forward reasonable, sensible, and common sense proposals that are being stopped by evil Republican gun nuts.

Eight Democrat Senators from Red States have to stand for election in 2014. They are going to vote for Feinstein’s plan. It proababy won’t even make it to the floor.

The House won’t take anything up until the Senate acts. They’ll never pass it, but nothing will make it out of the Senate, so the House won’t do anything.

The real threat is behind the scenes. They can do lots of mischief with regulations based on existing law. Mentally ill persons cannot own firearms. You sound a little crazy to me, or if not to me, to some ATF bubba somewhere. Questioning Feinstein is a clear indication of mental imbalance.

I see the anti-Catholic bandwagon has shown up as usual.

We have moved a few times in our 18 year marriage. Out of the four different parishes we have been involved in, not a single one of them would be what I would consider a ‘liberal’ parish. Either we are some of the luckiest bastards on the planet moving to conservative Catholic churches four different times, or the Church isn’t in as bad of shape that the MSM and a few FReepers have made us out to be. I will concede that among the bishops in the U.S., we seemed to be sorely lacking in leadersip, but check out the faithful. Check out our priest, who has many times railed against abortion, birth control, and socialized medicine (both in his homilies and from casual conversations). Our little parish is the only Catholic church in Gallia Co., Ohio. Yet, my husband goes to work with plenty of non-Catholic ‘Christians’ who think the sun rises and sets around ‘he who must not be named’ and the Democrat party in general. Trying to find an Democrat bumper sticker around election time in our church parking lot is darn near impossible. Some of us still put our faith and our principles above politics and popular culture.

We bought our daughter a .22 rifle for Christmas (her siblings were jealous). Not only is shooting a normal rite of passage in these parts among our young people, but the Monday after Thanksgiving is a day off of school in our district for the beginning of deer hunting season.

I say if the Dems want to make millions of gun owners instant criminals with new gun laws, then the gloves are off. I got a new law to pass as well.

In the Cold War it was referred to as parallel escalation: All abortion classified as murder, and immediate termination of all planned parenthood abortion activities. “...if it will save just one life”

As well as the fact it is the right thing to do. In fact it will save 3000 lives a day, and the income tax those babies will produce will help pay for social security and Medicare in thirty years.

With due respect, who is taking this lightly? I have never seen the country as up in arms (pun) as they are today, over this issue. That’s why I say Plouffe is lying and he knows it. He wants people to believe this, but I won’t fall for his BS and neither should you.

I wouldn't bet out on it. Ask Steve Win how that cozy crony capitalist (i.e. corrupt) relationship was working out for him. Reid only plays that role when party doesn't have to come first and foremost at the time. Usually there is wiggle room, but given who Obama is, Reid would go along with it if hit would pass. You can bet on it.

option A, you’ve been lucky bastards, because B, the church IS in that bad a shape. They voted Obama again. Nuff said. And why not? Catholics believe in huge bureaucracies and infra structures as a way to handle social issues, so they are perfect liberals out of the gate on many issues.

And another thing, this is Newsmax, and they get paid per click and need readers to open their emails.....so this was an over the top headline to get attention. I see it worked.

"We certainly shall see who the RINO rubber stampers are online."

Anyone can do so after spending a little time learning about uses of the following site--bills, roll call votes (from links), all. My guess is that it's all written on government time and money, which leads to the guess that copying and pasting is okay.

"White House adviser David Plouffe said Sunday that he believes President Barack Obama has sufficient votes in Congress to pass gun-control legislation."

Our nation's leaders have been pushing for hysteria and panic with lies like that for some time now. Maybe they should be checked for mental problems. Our more manly forefathers leaned toward preventing panic.
