Well I hope that is the case, but I hope their reasons for it falling on its face in the house is because the members voice their opposition to the very idea and principle of this rubbish rather than just talk about how it's too much money or base their no vote on only the economic element of...
Was going to post this too ... as again this is the tactic that is likely to be taken. They are going to tax their way to banning guns. I love how their stupid argument keeps throwing guns into some general category. Don't they even have to TRY and swindle laws around the fact that gun ownership...
Can't argue with that. It's sad, but I think the trend is to label anyone who isn't sheep status in their relationship to government is cast out as some kind of neo-confederate backwards domestic terrorists. My wife and I watch a show on Fox called 'The Following' which is about the FBI...
Agreed ... the fact of the matter is that too many "pro-gun" politicks in Washington have let the argument become framed in a way that the fight is more or less the Democrats asking for the moon and then just driving the Republicans into as many concessions as they can. Most of these are likely...
Hmmmm, correct me if I've read something wrong. I've always been against a judge or court ruling from the bench, although I of course see the need for the courts reserving the exclusive right to slap down a law that is unconstitutional. The problem I have always had with the courts has stemmed...
Good message. Got one of these waiting to be read as well. Course ... we are talking about lobbyed leadership here so remember that is' what they DO not what they say. Not saying I'm doubting Mike ... but I'm always wary of political statements as a rule. Still good to see reference to the...
Not a shocking development. The most vehemently anti-government folks are inherently anti-establishment and thus out the reach of the power players like Rove and the party foundation. It really comes down to a majority of the population and especially recent generation’s adjustment and...
The point has probably been made but it's the fact that they do understand is the problem. They realize that with the 2nd amendment understood as it was meant to be read there would never be an opening to push legislation that they crave to be thrown down. The shifting of the debate onto...
Well I likely agree with your sentiments, I disagree with the language. I believe the Constitution is and was made to be changed and altered as elected leadership representing the people saw fit. If you or I don't like something of the federal government then elect people who will propose...
Seems like all news outlets have this problem ... journalism is effectively dead in large part. I suppose it shouldn't be very shocking if one took a hard look at the faculty overseeing the nations journalism schools/departments. Sad ... There are elements at IU who want to banish the name of...
Well, these are easy target no matter what. But especially after what we essentially allowed to happen to the sites in Egypt and Yemen ... they might have well put bulleyes on them recently. I'm glad you specify 'Spec Opts' rather than just the military ... hopefully we the American public have...
When you have more and more citizens already thinking of the Constitution as simply a paper relic of the Revolution rather than the framework of our daily live via the government they don't even have to take away rights .. .they only just have to feed the masses whatever "rights" they decide...
I think you can sum up it better with just 'urban vote'. The country is growing more and more urban and it is those environments that the liberal base grows its voters. Immigration, job markets, and any number of various reason have demographics showing that trend continuing. If the...
Excellent, and yeah it's a shame we don't have some kind of website in place to produce a rough count of just how many people (including children!) are saved by guns each year ... even month. Even the rough estimates would be ammunition for our cause.
Some good news on a Thursday morning ... although I wonder how long it will take the media and some moron to spin this as a dangerous example of why the government needs to clamp down on private gun sales .... :xmad:
