Very good read. The more I know about her the more I like her.

[Ptarmigan]

Cool. She is a true class act.

[what's up]

She's the real deal.

"With the bombings came marauding groups of armed white vigilantes called 'nightriders,' who drove through black neighborhoods shooting and starting fires. [Condi's father] John Rice and his neighbors guarded the streets at night with shotguns.

And this, gentle reader, is why the Second Amendment -- contrary to what the Democrats claim -- is NOT about hunting.

Gun control isn't about guns. It's about control.

[eagle11]

Word! Condi is the real thing.

[KMC1]

CONDI in '08 takes the black and female vote away from Hillary and dominates her in the "Values Voters" category...

[America1stParty]

Sounds good so far.

[TexasCowboy]

I LIKE THIS LADY!

CONDI IN 2008!

[Castlebar]

Please, please, please, ma'am, run for president, and hordes of us would walk twenty miles bareoot over broken glass to pull the lever....

[Doe Eyes]

Unfortunately, the main purpose of the second amendment is to allow us to protect ourselves from Americans.

"The memory of her father out on patrol lies behind Rice’s opposition to gun control today. Had those guns been registered, she argues, Bull Connor would have had a legal right to take them away, thereby removing one of the black community’s only means of defense."

Indeed. She's seriously pro-2A. Gotta love it.

I think the best argument for the second amendment is it makes it harder for organized crime to prosper. When mafiosos are paying off the cops who is going to protect the shop owner from the protection racket? Individual citizens owning guns makes it much harder for mobster to operate. Anti-gun people have a hard time countering this argument because it's plainly obvious that organized crime has no problem obtaining guns.

So far so good......

Had those guns been registered, she argues, Bull Connor would have had a legal right to take them away, thereby removing one of the black community’s only means of defense.

Condi, we need to have a talk about rights and powers. People have rights and governments have powers. In GOOD governments, like the one our founding fathers established, the government has only those powers which the people give it and under our Constitution, they knew that bad people would sometimes come to power. So they put in the Second Amendment to guarantee that the people would have the means to resist them.

Bull Conner NEVER, EVER had the right or even legitimate power to take your daddy's gun simply to ensure he would be unarmed.

[ORECON]

Guns, the ultimate in feminine protection!

[Atlas Sneezed]

She knows the 2nd ain't about goose hunting.

[taxcontrol]

You go girl - keep your calender clear for 2008 ok?

[MichiganMan]

Go on, tell me again why she's not qualified to be nominated for VP and POTUS. C'mon, tell me again how it would only be a "gimmick".

[GaltMeister]

I bet she even knows where she can get her a huntin license too.

"With the bombings came marauding groups of armed white vigilantes called 'nightriders,' who drove through black neighborhoods shooting and starting fires. [Condi's father] John Rice and his neighbors guarded the streets at night with shotguns.

My view is that Condi's childhood ordeals only made her stronger! I admire and respect that about her. As Secretary of State, her internal strengh will serve her (and us) well.
