Liberals not only want to take our guns away, they also want to weaken and dismantle the US military. Therefore, any protection that we would have against terrorists would be taken away.
So would a well regulated state Militia. The U.S. Constitution gives the federal government the power the call forth the state Militia to "execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions".
"To oblige the great body of the yeomanry and of the other classes of the citizens to be under arms for the purpose of going through military exercises and evolutions, as often as might be necessary to acquire the degree of perfection which would entitle them to the character of a well-regulated militia." Federalist papers 29, Hamilton
Meaning, the National Guard is not the militia, but a standing army.
I dunno. It sure sounds like me. ;-)
Funny, but not surprising that the “discuss” option no longer exists for this article...
hehehe...Don’t they realize the discussion really wasn’t going to be there, but right here!
Oh wait, I forgot...Silly me...
Its snot ewe! I keep tellin’ ya boyo!
Why, oh why, didn’t I take the blue pill today???
You had to go post something like this that was just going to frap my 9 ways to Christmas...
You like doing things like this to me DON’T YOU!!!
One of these days I’m going to quit FR...My BP should go down a few points then...
But then again where would I get my exercize...:-)
Too often.....from the anti-gun side.
Leave it to a liberal to "reason" that car registration shows that we should register guns, rather than that the lack of gun registration shows we don't need to register cars. Two different policies and they assume, without a moment's reflection, that the one involving government review of our lives is the right one and should be copied. I don't think liberals should be allowed to use a pen, typewriter, or computer. See, I can think like a liberal, too.
“A national policy must be enacted...”
There IS one. It’s called the Second Amendment.
However they are pretty liberal. In this weeks issue, in their "The Target" column, they ask why Cheney cant be impeached before he "does any damage".
They would love the impeachement of someone (mainly Republican), without any crime committed.
Spot on. Well said.
There are Democrats who in their own little minds think that Republican Party is hateful, unnecessary. a nuisance and a obstacle to scientific(hah) Socialism. We are seeing this exposure as a number of people are trying to modify the fairness doctrine to make talk radio illegal. Can book burning be far away?
The book burning already happened.
Student protesters have twice publicly burned copies of the Cornell Review, a conservative student newspaper -- in April 1997, protesting a satire in the paper about Ebonics and in November 1998, in reaction to a syndicated political cartoon the paper ran about African-American abortions.
