You know what their 'old names' were, right? Both parties really only 'gave' to their 'clients'------the lobbyists and big political donaters, and from the rest of the citizenry they want to 'guide' us by taking some 'rights' we have earned 'no thanks to them'. I want to stress the 'not thanks to them' presently in power' Congress.

I mean 'old rights' like the 2nd Amendment rights and the 'newer rights' that came due to the Supreme Court establishing the abortion rights. Last time we had our political Congress want to take 'rights' from us was with Prohibition which needed a Constitutional Amendment to 'take' alcohol from us, and another one, to return the 'right' to us. The only other countries that totally prohibit alcohol, are the Muslim theocratic states.

So, beware of these 'takers' that sound like they are going to give you something and remember..... they only give to lobbyist groups and big contributors; for the rest they might just 'take', because 'it's good for you'. Congress is filled with lawyers who want to play 'judges' and feel they have the right to give you 'injunctions'? VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THEIR NAMES. If you remember their names, they have been in 'office' too long.

Still don't know which 'political parties' I am talking about? Call me when you find a 'flat tire' in the Wall Mart parking lot.

single issue folks...be it guns or abortion....are stupid people.

I am going to have to agree with you on that one Julie

'don't explain' what 'is' stupid. Can you distinguish between

a flat tire and a full tire in your Wall Mart parking lot? Now there

is a 'single issue' for you. Hint, the rim is really close to the

pavement for the 'flat tire' issue.

Are you finally coming around to realizing that the above post actually came from a deranged person who has bought into the neocon propoganda?

If so, welcome to the REAL world.

1. you never had any 'gun rights' to start with...... and...

2. you never had any 'abortion rights' to start with.... and that

the states can change the Supreme Court decision based on

'biblical' and 'theological' grounds as to when the 'soul' appears

in a human being. An insult to intelligence as good as

calling something 'stupid' and not explaining 'what' is stupid.

Use often by 'barely high school graduates' to fill in the blank

spaces in their minds with a 'feeling' instead of a 'fact'.

You neverhad any gun rights to start with? The second Amendmant is not about guns is is about the right to be armed as well or better than those who seek to deprive you of your life and/or liberty. One can be armed and not have a gun. I often arm myself with knowlege such as knowlege of places where it may not be wise to travel or just being aware of possible danger.

At times I have armed myself with a knife or club perhaps answering an unexpected knock on the door in the middle of the night. I have also been armed with a firearm at various times in my life such as when I was in the Army and Air Force, a Parole Officer or Jailer and later in life as a Security Guard. I have also armed myself as a law biding civillian to protect my home and family. I have also armed my wife and daughter with pepper spray adn fire arms for self defense purposes.

Today a repeating pistol. revolver or rifle is the state of the art weapon fr most people. When our Constitution was written the flintlock muzzleloading pistol and rifle was the state of the art weapon people armed themselves with. Later cap and ball fire arms were the state of the art weapon.

What will be the state of the art tommorrow in personal weaponry? Whatever it is the Constitution acknowleges the pre-exsisting right (endowed by our creator) of individuals to be a armed with it and to use it for lawful purposes of self defense.

I can tell by your statements you are not well armed with the first weapon all people are born with.

As far as a right to abortion it never exsisted. The Supreme court ruling found that Jane Roe had a right to privacy which was violated by the Texas law against abortion. The relied on an earlier courts ruling on the privacy issue which could find no right to privacy writen within the text of the Constitution but stated the right to Privacy "Eminated from the Penumbraof the Constitution"....whatever that means.

Roe was a weak decision based on another weak decision. The only thing holding up this house of cards ruling is the politics behind it.

I am NOT a single Issue Conservative besides the issues of Guns & Judicial Activism I carefully look at candidates on many other issues including Taxes, Social Issues/Programs, Military Spending, Foriegn Affairs, Homeland Security and Immigration.

The right to keep and bear arms was given to the people not only to protect ourselves from thieves, thugs and murderers, but also from our own government. Today this country is in a hell of a mess. Now just think where president chenney would have us if some were not armed.

After the way this administration has chewed up the Army? A gang of farmers could take the White House with nothing but a hoe, Row.
