I've Been Lied To, and Decieved By a Politician ... Big Surprise

How about this
Screw around with our gun rights and we will drag you out and hang you."
Think that would make it the "untouchable Amendment for a couple decades ? (Till they could get rope banned )

The socialists may have picked a bad time to make a move.  I think their timing is going to stink.  I don't think they hit the economy here at the bottom or at the bottom moving up.  Looks like we're going to continue a slide. 

My thoughts....a stimulus package putting $$$'s in the hands of people will make 'em all happy for a bit...then the force of a falterling world economy will talke away the glee in their hearts as things get worse.  Could go either way....a turnaround or hyperinflation and a deepening recession.   I don't see how we can get a turnaround before mid-fall...but then if I knew what I was talking about when it came to financials I wouldn't be writing this looking at the clock to see if it was time to go to work.

On the issue of gun control....don't make waves until the populace is ready to follow.  Stay off the radar screen and educate everyone you meet....a simple word if oft remembered down the road.  Until the people can recognize the true situation, we are all just errant crazies and will be dismissed.  Be politically active now so that the 2nd Ammendment supporters are always in the back of the mind of the politician.

The problem Fuz has been with the legislatures and judges who are willing to restrict rights in order to "control" the people.  They justify it as "end justifies the means".   They think, it's okay to restrict rights or to bend the constitution if it's for the "common good."  (Their definition, of course, as to what's good and what's common.)

No matter how you word it if these two governmental bodies don't uphold the constitution then we're screwed.  Oh wait, we are already. 

I vote to keep it short  and simple.  Then you can provide all the "legislative intent" to back it up you want.

If the SC will not touch a case asking BO to supply proof of US citizenship you know DAMN well they will not think about  a little white lie....besides there is no such thing as an honest politician.

I always thought this point was a bit retarded. His mother was a citizen when he was born. He has a passport and he had to prove it for the Senate. Many of the people who want him to "Prove" his citizenship would not accept anything he could produce anyway. The SCOTUS would not touch this as it is a waste of time. (My mom was a foreign national when I was born and I am an American) besides there is no

such thing as an honest politician.

Sure there is...you can find them burning in Hell.

Thanos,

I don't mean to sidetrack this thread, however I used to feel like you ... Until I got sick of him ignoring and tap dancing around the subject.  In the spirit of transparency and being above reproach all he needs to do is present a few simple documents.  He refuses!  He puts on an attitude of supremacy and a look that says "how dare you question."  If he has nothing to hide why doesn't he make these documents public?

Back on topic ...

My purpose for starting this thread was to get everyone of us to start reminding our elected officials that they are headed down a road we said they would takes us and they said we were nuts.  Don't let them forget that they said we would not go here.  I don't care if words like "common sense" are subjective as opposed to objective.  If they can define them so can we.

Let's hammer them with the words of the Second Amendment and the writings of the likes of Thomas Jefferson at every turn.  And I know this will put TAB over the edge, but WHEN NECESSARY let's get in their face like gum on the sole of a tennis shoe!  I for one use the explanation to my Representatives that in order of importance guns are down a ways - God is always #1, my family and their needs are always #2, and guns come in after that.  However, I also feel, and let other know, that if you can do this to a clearly written piece like the Second Amendment what can they do to everything else in our lives.

Texans still cry "Remember the Alamo."  I don't every want to stand on street corners crying "Remember the Second Amendment."
