What Bill Of Rights?
Pay attention to the Bill of Rights demonstration at the end and see for yourself. Blah blah blah, it doesn't apply to us? Since when are we being invaded? Rebellion? I just can't understand the logic of why this bill HAD to be passed and signed into law?
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. -Ben Franklin

THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Amendments 1-10 of the Constitution
The Conventions of a number of the States having, at the time of adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution;
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States; all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the said Constitution, namely:

i didn't know liberals even knew there was a second amendment!
I am far from what you think liberal is, and a proud gun owner. I call em like i see em. I noticed on your blog you were pointing out the errors of Democrats. But are always quick to defend the errors of the Republicans. That ideological entrenchment of thought is a bit dangerous, and a bit hypocritical. I just dont trust the current government nor either side of the aisle for that matter. The Libertarians are unelectable and basically disenfranchised. There really is no alternative for what a free thinker ought to choose. The Republic is, to use a clique, a joke. The joke is that 95% of the electorate buy that they have a voice and it matters who you vote for. The Dem's could win the Congress in two weeks and we will still have the same total shit we have now. It will just smell different. I know by dogmatic standards you would label me as crazy. Maybe. But you and your ilk lack the courage to really call crime a crime and a dishonest system evil. You just want to point out you are the lesser of those two. I will never trust them or you. I mean no you ill will, I just don't think you understand who or what you are attacking and labeling.
