Lawyers, Guns and Drama

So the ole SCOTUS will take up the Second Amendment eh? Of course you know, this means war! Or drama. You know, whichever.

Red Badger doesn't want to be melodratic but...

If they side with the “state”, the Republic will fall.................

Long ellipsis denotes the suspense! Also, siding with the "state" will be upholding the status quo, and the Republic has been okay with that. So far..............................................................

The wrong SCOTUS opinion is a declaration of civil war.

The SCOTUS could start a civil war again! It'll be godless traitors vs. the Free Republic God-fearing Americans! They didn't step up when it came to Iraq, but this shit is SERUOIS!

Anybody out there TRUST the SCOTUS?
Me neither.
Lock and load, boys and girls. It’s going to be time to fight.
As in “bang bang.”

Don't tell anyone, but I think Flintlock got a boner writing that..."as in 'bang bang." That is evocative! With poets like that, can the SCOTUS have any hope?

Jack Black has left society long ago, due to his disagreement with the principles of checks and balances.

It’s too late. I’m long, long, past caring what our pseudo-masters in black robes say.

Affirmation of our right is certainly to be desired. However I seriously doubt that it will slow the gun-banners in their quest. So at best it will be a hollow victory.

If I agreed that the SC had the right to decide this, then I would agree that should they decide that gun-banning is Constitutional it would be legitimate.

Conversely if the SC rules against the individual right I will completely ignore this law, as it is absurd. My rights are not negotable.

I don’t care how many justices Lady Hillary eventually gets to appoint, nor how they rule on this. It’s just not open to furhter discussion.

See, courts don't matter to Jack Black. In fact, he still keeps slaves. Cause that's his right, and it's not negotiable.

Though having all of America on your side might help...

One can always tell a liberal socialist news writer.

ITS ALREADY AN ISSUE AND IT IS NOT DIVISIVE!

That debate is a unifier, and it will unify a large block of voters against the liberal socialsits and their wanna be Utopians whose idea of Brave New World is simply wrong, and unattainable.

"Devisive debate" punk low life no count liberal reporting.

Unifying Debate is the accurate term, and don'r forget it.

Unifying Debate. In Capital Letters. Candor7 has his thumb on the pulse of America! We all love guns here! But not buttsex, right Candor?

Mexico has no redeeming qualities.

Freepers, like any extremists, are always ready to generalize based on an anecdote that agrees with their worldview. In this example, an individual travels to Mexico, and gets mugged.

When you visit a nation of outlaws, don’t be surprised if you run into trouble.

Whoa. "Nation of outlaws." That actually sounds kinda badass...

"Weber said the “group hug,” his term for the event, will help heal his mental and emotional wounds."

Heaven forbid you should use this experience as a lesson to GET A GUN.

"It could have ended 100 different ways much worse.”

Yeah -- for the bad guys. Shoot a gun at my house with me and my loved ones inside and they would either be dead or still running.

In FreepWorld, all good guys carrying guns never have accidents, and have perfect aim. And all the people they kill are irredeemably evil. This is why Mexico - the nation of outlaws - should allow everyone to carry guns.

Would you like a side of "blame the victim" with your crazy?

I'm sorry, but I feel zero sympathy for this duck. It's guys like him who accepted the invasion in the first place. And he's either too stupid or venal to criticize Mexico and recognize it for what it is, so crap like this happens - crap that anyone else with half a brain already understood as being the reality there - but which he denies, or doesn't try to understand.

Yeah! He shoulda been killed! Woulda served him right! Speaking of blaming the victim...

I went to TJ about 15 years ago...It was nothing then and it’s still nothing. I will never spend a penny in that turd world country again.

Wow, AnglesCrestHighWay blamed the victim on an ENTIRE COUNTRY! I am in awe.

Finally, there are a whole bunch of people saying "never go to Mexico" and even more that have an anecdote to add to the fray, because the plural of anecdote is data. Unless you disagree with the conclusion then it's a "bad apple."

Yep. There was a guy in Texas who crossed the Border in his M.H. and had one round of ammo in it which he overlooked. He was senenced to years in Prison down there. It took months and hundreds of thousands of Dollars to get him out.
And now, he has a Felony on his record because of our Stupid Laws. So, due to having one bullet in a freakin’ Motorhome in Mexico, he is ineligible to own a firearm here in the U.S.
Thanks, Bush!

Yeah, that does suck. But I don't think Americans are being sent to jail him Mexico in droves. Seeing as they are kind of careful about the US as countries go.

Saturday Pix

Remember, people actually spend time making these!

So Hillary supporters are all fat? Or is Hillary fat by association?

This guy's comics are a staple on Free Republic. And they always end with OBL giving the thumbs up to the liberal villain of the moment. I know fear sells to these people, but try for some variety, if only for your own sanity! Though that ship may have sailed.

Yes, liberals have no arguments. Though often they hate their fathers, and like Phish.

Democratic-Socialist-Communist. These three words mean the same thing only if you are so far on the other side that you cannot see any gradations at all.

Troop desertions up

Free Republic is on the case: who to blame?

Reporters:

I think that we need to have a draft again, but only for reporters. They all should have to be embedded for at least a year in a two year stint. I wonder what their desertion rate would be? Probably a lot higher than 9 out of a thousand, more like 500 out of a thousand.

The Democrats:

It is no wonder since Congress seems to be cheerleading for the terrorists. The fact that we’re having these desertions in an all volunteer Army says a lot about the question of liberals and Congressional traitors undermining the war effort.

Not enough shootings:

It's a time of war, so deserters should be shot.

That last statement is so simple even a liberal/democRAT/socialist could understand.

5.56mm

A secret troublemaker conspiracy:

I’m assuming the numbers include those who joined with the intention of causing problems. Like Scott Beauchamp (yes, I know he’s not a deserter, just a seditious bastard).

Aaaand Jimmy Carter:

In other words, desertions after five years of conflict under President Bush, not as high as after four years under democrat Jimminy Carter.

Now, this increase is to less than 1%, so I don't think one should be worried. But that didn't stop a whole bunch of Freepers from their knee-jerk blame game.

Senate might not pass war funding

When you heard Harry Reid saying that it was the current war funding bill, strings and all, or nothing, you wanted to see what the Freepers said yes?

Well, I did! And it was pretty crazy stuff:

“The days of a free lunch are over,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. .
.
.
.
The country is at war and this is what the al qaeda operative in the Senate from New York said about our military ??? WTF

I think Schumer was talking about the President, not the military. But I suppose mixing up the President and the troops is epidemic on these boards.

If a single soldier is killed because they lacked the funding and equipment due to political posturing mr reid I will hold you PERSONALLY responsible.

Couger97 will totally fight Harry Reid! It's on!

"Anything else is political posturing," said Reid.

What is refusing to fund our troops while they're over there being shot at and trying to avoid ieds, Harry? What is demanding YOUR OWN MILITARY retreat or DIE, Harry? That's not just political posturing, it's STRUTTING AROUND ON THE GRAVES OF OUR SOLDIERS.

I heard Reid whining about the cost of the war to the "average American family" yesterday....well, at least we've still GOT families. What about those who lost theirs on 9/11? What about those who will lose theirs in the next terrorist attack - which is a guarantee if we retreat?? What happens to the morale of the soldiers who've fought so hard to free the people of Iraq and in many cases befriended them if we retreat? What about those Iraqis who will die as a result of us retreating?

Nice imagery in the first paragraph, but the tired argument about 9-11 in the next one is what takes the cake to me. If we leave Iraq, suddenly we become more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. Honestly, I didn't think anyone believed that crap anymore.

Here's a good suggestion:

If Defense Sec. Gates has any moxie, he will start cutting civilian jobs at bases in the districts of those Democrats voting against money for our troops during war time.
Pelosi and Reid say he should find the money in the regular defense budget, and that is exactly where he should find it. After a few hundred thousand are laid off in their states, I think the Dems would be dancing to a different tune than the one MoveOn.org is whistling.

See, if Gates acts petty and spiteful, it will surely be a boon for his party! The American people are looking for more spite and pettiness in politics.

Other than hating on those "RINOS" who also voted against the war, that's it.

“Facts Don’t Matter” Says The “Leftosphere”

Watch this story. Supposedly left-leaning bloggers at a forum, including Markos and others even I have heard of, all agreed that facts don't matter in arguying for troops to come out of Iraq.

I smell a rat- who would be stupid enough to say this in a public forum? But this story feed into Freeper's prejudices, so they believe it. Ironically enough, the facts of the story don't matter.

And Now This Word From Outer Space

From the previous Hillary thread:

The most breath-taking issue about all of the Dem candidates, is that Hillary is the most conservative of all the Dem candidates. It is utterly astounding to see what the Soros money machine has been able to accomplish in dragging the Dem party to the left. HRC tried, in vain, to defend her vote in favor of the Iraq war (remember, we actually did have a majority vote in congress to go to war, which was corroborated by the 2002 elections). It became apparent to HRC that the lurch leftward by the democratic party made her position on Iraq, an utter kiss of death in the Dem primaries. I have never, in all my life, seen such a traitor (Soros) being allowed to run rampant throughout American politics. People, Soros has only one major ambition: to create a one world government, and America is his largest obstacle. Though I can’t prove it, I strongly suspect Soros, in collusion with other countries which hate the U.S. are manipulating the dollar trade as well as oil speculation, in the hope of bringing America to heel. In the damaging the U.S. economy Soros shows himself to be no greater friend of America than al Queda. It is utterly astounding to me, to see how easy the Dems can fool so many Americans into believing that they would be the best choice for America. This country will deserve the tremendous social upheaval that will shortly be upon us, mainly as we have collectively lost the ability to see through the Dem charlatans. They advocate for our loss in Iraq, while proclaiming they are the “true” patriots” and that they “support the troops”. The mere fact that there is little outrage, simply speaks to how naive many Americans have become. In decades past, the behavior the dems are now displaying, in attempting to short circuit our victory in Iraq would have led to them a) being rounded up as subversives and b) the party would essentially be run out of town on a rail. Unfortunately, the shame belongs to all the Americans who intend to vote for these traitors, instead of tarring and feathering them

For the tl;dr crowd:
1. Hillary is the least crazy liberal dem presidential candidate
2. The above fact is because Soros has dragged the party to the left.
3. Soro's agenda is one world government.
4. He is responsible for America's economic woes, as he has near unlimited economic power.
5. There will be a revolution if we don't kill the traitor.
