Tumblindice,

I like you quote: America’s founding fathers, all armed conservatives

Brings a thought to mind. Liberals say the gun laws are “outdated”. Why don’t they see freedom of speech as “outdated” as well? Hmmm...

For me, the First Amendment and Second Amendment must always be addressed as a pair. Any journalist calling for restrictions on the Second Amendment should lose the right to publish his political views. Prison time should be considered for such a person. If, of course, the journalist is outraged by this violation of their First Amendment rights, perhaps they should reconsider their opposition to my Second Amendment rights.

My run-on sentence question:
Because they are the heirs of federalists who saw no need for a Bill of Rights but grudgingly agreed when many of the states otherwise refused to ratify the Constitution, distrusting the possibility of a strong federal government constantly seeking to aggrandize its own power at the expense of its citizens, the thinking of the original statists that someday they could say, “The BOR is outdated.”?
(whew)

The 2nd secures the 1st: they want to put the horse before the cart, but just give them time.It is Afraid to appear in public but their ailing beast slouches towards Bethlehem to be born.

I may be a smarta** in all other things, but this election is deadly serious. Our modern experiment in whether men and women are able to govern themselves either continues beginning November 8th or it dies.
