Second Ammendment of Constitution Does not apply In Chicago, says court! [modified]
-
See, the members of the court of appeals must have all gone to public schools because they certainly cannot read: the Second Amendment reads in its entirety: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

Than why was Wyatt Earp able to do exactly the same thing and it never became a constitutional issue? I'm pretty sure those ol' cowboys were more attached to their firearms than anyone around today is.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

I wonder how many handguns there are in Chicogo, I bet there are plenty to go around. Christian Graus on the other hand would like to see us be forced to have electronic fingerprint activated firing mechanisms with a central remote disabler.

In simpler terms, there is no debate, just insults. Yes, you can lie to yourself all you want and believe it. Does that persuade me in any way? Sure, it makes me believe you are a feminine male.

In simpler terms, you took a cheap shot at me, and I fired back. Start a thread on why you think that it makes you safe to be surrounded by people able to kill you, and I'll happily respond intelligently.

Touche. Actually, there are tons of true conservatives around. Problem is none of them choose to run for office or none can make it very far when they try. :sigh: I think you have to be a filthy corrupt bastard by necessity to make it in politics.

Most of the country, I suspect - even in New York, Massachusetts and California there are a helluvalot of 'em.

Too many johnny-come-neos are running around telling people who have thought of themselves as conservatives all of their life, they aren't because they don't cross this "t" or that "i." I forget what the actual numbers are, but I believe that something like 35% of Americans identify themselves as conservative, but only 20% of them identify themselves as Republicans - supposedly the conservative party. I remember when Ronald Reagan said, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me." Now the same thing is happening on the other side of the aisle. If I remember it correctly, the reverse of those stats is also true: only 20% of Americans identify themselves as liberal, but 35% of them consider themselves Democrats.

I think a lot of it has to do with our electronic communications. If you've got the money, you can hire the flacks to churn out so much bullshit that you drown your opponents with it. But getting that money means practicing the oldest profession.

if you're interested in a broad brush view, give a thought to reading a book, "The 5000 Year Leap". it has been in print for nearly 30 years. The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World. For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times. In this book, discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.[^] another good one, more recent vintage and specifically with a conservative view point and an exhaustive sourcing for the various points made: Conservative talk radio's fastest-growing superstar is also a New York Times bestselling phenomenon: the author of the groundbreaking critique of the Supreme Court, Men in Black, and the deeply personal dog lover's memoir Rescuing Sprite, Mark R.

I would say... 1) Personal responsibility 2) Personal responsibility 3) Personal responsibility 4) Personal responsibility and, last but not least... 5) Personal responsibility And of course those top 5 add up to mean more freedom through less government. And just imagine a world where the majority of people in government were responsible people. The thought of that Utopia gives me the warm fuzzies.

Good point, there are quite a few (Bush Jr, Cheney) Conservatives leaders and pundits too who actively avoided service while talking a lot about military and honor. That's one thing I have to respect about McCain, even though I obviously disagree with his ideas — he did actually serve.
