We need one now more than ever.

Waffler, there you go with that gibberish again.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Gun grabbers pay no attention to the Constitution whether Maine's are the U.S.

Mike, thanks for the Blackstone information. My have things changed in England since Blackstone.

Waffler are you nuts, and that's a rhetorical question. Your diatribe above is so full of nonsense that it would take a ream of paper to reply. Where on earth did you get the notion that guns are to "attack" our government. I rest my case as to your sanity.

Susan and J Carlton got it right and Mencken is one of my favorites along with Mark Twain. Twain described public servents this way: "Persons chosen by the people to distribute the graft". L.Neal Smith described government this way: "Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure".

This quote is exactly on target, and why libs like Robert, Reston, and O'Dwyer can't understand it is beyond me. The liberal mind is truly a wonder to behold. Cognitive dissonance is the only answer I can think of.

It's good to stay on subject when comes to guns. The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting, target shooting or protecting your home against intruders It has to do with citizens being able to defend against oppressive government. Our Founders understood the evils inherent in government and wanted citizens to be able to protect themselves against these evils.

Allan McLeod, about what I'd expect from a New Yorker. I am not a hunter nor a gun collector, but thanks to your comment, I'm joining the NRA today.

Did you notice this on the "news" yesterday. The libs trotted out the unfortunate lady who was shot sometime ago in Arizona. Naturally she said that "something has to be done now". Liberals, being emotional , not logical, always use a pathetic person, or persons, to promote some hare brained scheme to "protect" us from ourselves. Communists like Diane Feinstein are always on the wrong side of liberty.

Mann, as usual, you miss the point. He didn't say that genocide and tyranny was specific only to Communism , he was simply stating what happens when a country is taken over and ruled by Communists. We know that others are guilty; Hitler, another left winger comes to mind.

As usual. Mencken is right on target.

The commies are still dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as the Muslims. If anyone doubts this, get "Marked for Death", by Geert Wilders. This book explains how evil this "religion" really is from a man who has experienced it first hand.

Freedom of thought is a death sentence in Muslim countries. Read, "Marked for Death" by Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament.

One mans religion is another man's heresy. Of course if you are a Muslim, everyone else is a heretic and subject to conversion or death. If you doubt this, read the koran.

I'm surprised that Anonymous could even spell "sucks".

The last line of the quote may have been valid in Webster's day but I doubt that it is operable today. Too many people who know nothing of and care less about the Constitution.This includes most of the people in Congress and the Obama bunch for sure.

If a criminal breaks into your home and you have no gun, ask him politely to sit down while you call the police.

I should have said a kid whose parents came from India and required that he or she learn to read and write.

J and Mike have said it well. Check out who wins the National Spelling Bee each year. It's almost always a kid from India.

Read "Marked for Death" by Geert Wilders and see what the real danger is to this country. Mr. Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament made some unflattering remarks about the Koran and the "Profit Mohammad" and is now marked for death by members of this "peaceful" so-called religion. Every American, regardless of political affiliation needs to read this book.

As Mark Twain said, "Never let schooling get in the way of your education".

Wouldn't it be something if Russia and China turned out to be freer than the USA. It's possible if the Obama bunch have their way.

When the Congress and Obama bunch steal our money it's politics, if we do it, it's called theft.
