It is all bullshit...




I want to complain about our politicians and their views on our rights. Lets take the second Amendment for instance. The second amendment reads, "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." This is how the amendment was written when it was ratified by the authors of the Constitution. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. At all. Ever. That is what shall not be infringed means. Assuming you can read and speak English, this right should ever be brought into question.



To emphasize how out of touch and socialist the politicians in Washington are, here is a quote from Barrack Obama at the Democrat Debate in Philadelphia on April 16th, 2008:
"As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms. But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right, and, you know, in the same way that we have a right to private property but local governments can establish zoning ordinances that determine how you can use it."
What do you mean the government can't constrain the exercise of that right?!? Read the second amendment, Mr Obama! Especially the end where it states that the right SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Mr. Obama was responding to this question from Charlie Gibson: "Senator Obama, the District of Columbia has a law, it's had a law since 1976, it's now before the United States Supreme Court, that prohibits ownership of handguns, a sawed-off shotgun, a machine gun or a short-barreled rifle. Is that law consistent with an individuals right to bear arms?".
As if that was not ridiculous enough, check out this exchange between Hillary Clinton and George Stephanopoulos right after Mr. Obama's statement:

MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Clinton, you have a home in D.C.

Do you support the D.C. ban?

SENATOR CLINTON: You know, George, I want to give local communities the opportunity to have some authority over determining how to keep their citizens safe.

This case you're referring to, before the Supreme Court, is apparently dividing the Bush administration. You know, the Bush administration basically said, we don't have enough facts to know whether or not it is appropriate.

And Vice President Cheney who, you know, is a fourth special branch of government all unto himself -- (laughter) -- has actually filed a brief saying, oh, no, we have to, you know, we have to prevent D.C. from doing this.

So --

MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: But what do you think? Do you support it or not?

SENATOR CLINTON: Well, what I support is sensible regulation that is consistent with the constitutional right to own and bear arms.

..........................................................................................................................................................................

Hate to tell you this Hillary, but the is NO sensible regulation that is consistent with the constitutional right to own and bear arms. Read the Constitution if you don't believe me.


No, I have not yet found anything on John McCain and his stance on the second amendment, but I am sure it is just as bad as the Democrats. All politicians, especially the main three this election year seem to think that majority rule is the best interest of the people. Well, its not. When you take away the individuals rights, and replace them with majority rule, the individual loses their rights and you are left with...Socialism. Which is right where we are headed. Forget Democrats and Republicans this election year. Vote for someone who is an American, that believes in the Constitution, and won't take away our rights. I personally don't want to lose any rights, including the right to keep and bear arms, and I don't want the Majority speaking for me. Everyone should have a voice. I know this is Juvenile, but the Fuck-Tards in Washington don't have a clue. They want to run everything for everyone, and take 80% of your paycheck to pay for it. And that is on both sides of the isle.
LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!!
