Selfishness and Anger

Depends on whose self-interest is being gored. ACORN anger. Guns and Freedom. Rocky Colorado. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 4)

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.(1)

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.(1)

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million "educated" people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. (1)

The right of the individual to keep and bear arms was installed in the Constitution for a valid reason. It's strict interpretation and enforcement is necessary to insuring the continuance of the United States of America. Those that seek to limit this right should be watched very carefully as this is how totalitarianism starts.

RISE AND SHINE

Re: George Neumayr's Obama's Living-Will Constitution:

Where do you come up with this utter nonsense?

A course in hermeneutics would help. Or a course in constitutional law. As it happens, redistribution is enshrined in our written constitution, by amendment.

Wake up.

NO SAYING DAMNING ENOUGH 

Re: Jay D. Homnick's The Cost of Hollow Words:

I enjoyed your article. Well done. It captured the extent of the poor thinking that has accompanied many who have thrown in their support to BO.

I understand the Jews have a saying that if one saves a single life, this action saves the entire world. I can only imagine what kind of saying would be made for someone who willingly supports the death of fifty million babies.

Mr. Tobias, once again, writes with cool and steely logic. His examples shine a clear light on the tyranny of unregulated (or more precisely, overregulated) gun control.

Colorado suffers from SMUG pollution and the Screen Actors Guild in general and Robert Redford in particular should be fined to clean it up.

Ms. Know| 11.14.08 @ 11:08AM

The fact that the left-wing illuminati even used ACORN's services shows how fraud they are, and it's sad that this is okay.
