But this one is good too..... ---------- I don't care* if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2012-07-16 17:02:42 Permalink
Mgpacher Posts: 142 Incept: 2011-03-03 Indiana	After listening to this show I came away with the impression that Genesis thinks that President Obama would be better than Romney on protecting the Second Amendment. The reason being that Romney as governor signed an assault weapon ban, and Obama did not. Obama is an advocate for an assault weapon ban. Romney has apparently done an about-face on the issue. Still, Obama is an enemy of the Second Amendment, which is much more serious than an assault weapon ban. Obama was the director of the Joyce Foundation. Read this for more specifics. http://theobamafile.com/_associates/Joyc.... District of Columbia vs Heller pretty much knocked down the idea supported by the Joyce Foundation, that the right to bear arms pertained only to militias, i.e., National Guard. Now Obama is pushing to limit our rights by pushing for an international treaty, which, if approved, would override the Second Amendment. (Not here that even though I have heard this said, I do not know whether it is true.) The anti-gun people associated with Obama are smart and clever. Like my daughter once said, "I have learned and forgotten things that the other kids have not even learned yet." Obama and his like have learned things we rubes have not even heard of yet. And he forgets nothing. 2012-07-16 20:34:25 Permalink

The people with their hand crammed up Obama's backside are both smart and evil. ---------- http://jengafinance.blogspot.com/ Build a banker a fire and keep him warm for a night.

Jinxx0r Posts: 4233 Incept: 2007-08-10	I listened to your show today. I still think obamao's fast and furious cover-up and scandal with the just-us department is much worse that mittens and his single state gun control. What this regime is doing with the just-us department is much more nefarious. JMHO. 2012-07-16 20:43:08 Permalink

As Karl likes to say, if the penalty for robbing a 7/11 was that you had to give back some of the loot, there would be a robbery queue at every 7/11.. If you think your candidate is going to do something about it, post evidence or forever hold your peace. And I do mean forever, the greatest disservice is to yourself when supporting a man you don't really believe in. ---------- Fear of govt IS the government.. Statism is a pack of unbacked threats; If govt gets out of control, ignore it and go about life as you see fit. Where's your crown, King Nothing? 2012-07-16 23:40:55 Permalink
Winstonsmith2009 Posts: 1060 Incept: 2009-08-05	On the NRA call you received and their ignorance of the fact that Mittens is a confirmed gun banner, that sort of ignorant single issue, _major party candidate only_ fixation was what caused me to leave the NRA. If they'd support an LP candidate, he would have a very good chance of winning or at least making a good enough showing to attract permanent mainstream attention while sending "Republic"ans a message - become more libertarian or you won't receive our support. Instead, they'll vigorously promote the election of Adolf Hitler as long as he's a "Republic"an. I'll reluctantly join the NRA again only when some gun club requires me to join for the insurance coverage. Over a decade ago, back when I was an NRA (and ACLU) and very active LP member who naively believed that the political process could be used to implement significant change against a multi-trillion dollar gravy train in a nation of ignorant, heavily propagandized citizens, I discovered the JPFO you mentioned and their web page. Now there's a group who really knows all about the dangers of an unarmed citizenry. And THEY are very much libertarian. Too bad they aren't much of a lobbying force. 2012-07-17 09:51:49 Permalink
Karen1p Posts: 156 Incept: 2010-10-26 Reformed Liberal - turned gun owner, Ticker Gal	I have continually said that the decision to vote between Obama v. Romney is like having to make the decision of dying by cancer or dying by heart disease. You still get to the same place, just a different journey. 2012-07-17 10:27:55 Permalink

You still get to the same place, just a different journey. But you don't HAVE to decide between those two.. If you vote to be healthy then have a heart attack anyway at least the doctor won't say "well, you asked for it". ---------- Fear of govt IS the government..
