Is there any reason why you are so didactically pointing out that particular bit of undisputed information at this point?

I'm an old-fashioned Goldwater Republican who actually thinks that big government has too much power (and it gains more every minute) and that the people don't have *enough* to counterbalance it. If that means allying with liberals in common cause on some points, then hoo-ray for left-right alliances. > Take YOUR party back from the whack jobs. Please. I wish. Either side trying to pretend that *everything* the loyal opposition proposes must needs be either utter betrayal or a sign of the coming apoclaypse is both stupid and -eventually- suicidal. See California's grid-locked state government for an example of what the Federal government is heading towards.

Uh, perhaps you missed the part where I pointed out that it's the *courts* which make such judgements? ( You somehow seem to have got the notion that I said "Saddlebag" makes those decisions, and, thank Ghu, you don't. ) In fact, The Supremes have recently opined that Americans *do* have a right to protect themselves with firearms, and that decision had zilch to do with a militia.

Many folks seem to think that the ACLU's having an opinion equates to an ability to make Law. |
