Funny how the same guys that are always crying about their gun rights.. Are the same guys that tend to support things like the Patriot Act, wire taps, FCC regulations and so on.
Go figure I guess some of you never read the rest of the constitution or it's amendments. You better start marching on Washington because they let women and minorities vote now. Those damn evil liberals broke the Constitution again.
EXCUSE ME????????????????????
I did NOT want the Patriot Act enabled, or the wire taps, or the FCC regs.........
"Government never stops where you want it to. You don't get to write the laws or administer them. When you give the government the power to do what you want it to do, it will expand that power into areas where you don't want it to go." -
"The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse." -- Edmund Burke,
political philosopher (1729-1797)
"You do not examine legislation in light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.”
"Dangerous laws created by well intentioned people today can be used by dangerous people with evil intentions tomorrow." - Alan Eppers
"We lost many of our rights when we asked government to control our neighbors for our benefit -- or simply looked the other way when others did so."
"What government can do to our neighbor, it can -- and will -- do to us. Freedom is something that we must give to others if we wish it for ourselves."
I am a firm believer in the right to keep and bear arms......
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." - George Washington
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that the people preserve the spirit of resistance?" - Thomas Jefferson, 1787
"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed- unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." - James Madison
As Thomas Paine once asked, —¦If a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to 'bind me in all cases whatsoever' to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?" To say one must allow such destruction of one's life, liberty and property, and to not allow for the means to protect such rights, is to say that the individual does not hold these natural rights, and that whoever holds the power shall decide what "rights" will be granted. Such an idea is preposterous.
"The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness."
Aristotle (384-322 bc)
Greek philosopher
As to a political leaning, I'm not a Dem, nor a Rep, the closest any political party that comes to my views would be the Libertarians.
I've read several of your post so far and find IMHO I must agree with the statement made earlier that much of what you have posted SEEMS to be the flip side..............
