Hillary Clinton wants to 'rein in' gun culture that is 'way out of balance'

Come to think of it, if we are to blame "gun violence" on a culture, perhaps the most logical target would be the culture of overarching nanny-state government futilely attempting to impose responsibility, instead of staying out of the way of the people's exercise of it.

Meister said...: hillary is the single biggest threat to freedom this country has had since pearl harbor. She is the epitome of cronyism and political greed. Her well documented history of not allowing the law to get in her way of doing what she wants has been documented for decades. If she is elected, this country will be in the throes of a civil war by the end of her first term.

I used to have enough faith in our electorate to think that she would never make it on the ballot, but after seeing the current buffoon languish in office, they cannot be trusted and they will elect another collectivist worshiping meat sack into office if given the chance.

Our constitution was founded on the idea that it could protect the people from the overreach of government, but when the complicit judicial branch has no interest in upholding the document, political hacks are allowed to run rampant and tread on the rights of the citizen. The worst part is that most of the time, it's at the citizens behest. We've gone from the greatest generation to the give up generation in a mere 70 years.

Maybe we should all vote for hillary so we can get this whole mess over with.; May 8, 2014 at 5:41 AM
Anonymous said...: Latest thing I heard: If Hillary gets the nomination, she will pick Bill as her running mate. The idiot fundamentalist Christians will probably stay home on election day because the Republican nominee is not "Christian' enough for them so Hillary and Bill will be in the White House again. That's why Obama was re-elected in 2012. Thanks a lot, idiot fundamentalists. I've got news for you. The Mormon LDS church is not any more of as cult than most churches, including yours.

Paul X said...: Looks like Hillary is going to be shooting for Obama's record as the best gun salesman in history. Good on her.

The last thing we need is some sellout R in the presidency, like Christie. I'd rather see Hillary there, just so I can see how many self-anointed patriots actually have a backbone. Old Greybeard, if you think some R is going to be an improvement, you have not been paying attention.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
