Christie’s Bullying Tirade Deflects from Having to Answer Tough Questions on Guns

The bottom line is, we can continue accepting opportunistic and meaningless political platitudes, and letting “progressive” agenda outlets like CNN and HuffPo and Gannett Company papers shape public attitudes on candidate gun positions, or we can realize all they’re doing is redefining the middle so anyone to the right can be portrayed as an extremist. Back to Christie — for all his posturing and “tearing into” and “firing back” and “countering,” and for all his bullying of a citizen in a forum he’s a master at performing in, he knows he doesn’t dare answer my specific questions, or yours.

He blames his democrat legislature. I'll admit, he has pardoned several folks charged with violating some of those laws. I'll give him that.

Unknown said...: I hope he isn't... but could the questioner
be a plant to give cristie a string of 'pro
gun' things to call out to prove he's NOT
what he is?

If the pro gun guy really was pro gun, he just
got a lesson on how politicians can play their
game, supported by the media.

If cristie gets a serious run going, I bet you
will see this exchange again - to convince the
Fudds to vote for him.; July 29, 2015 at 2:13 PM

Just another irritating , control freak with a big mouth, that spews verbal diarrhea. He is no friend of the 2nd Amendment. None of them are. Just another reason why the whole system ,needs to be torn down. Where the domestic enemy's of the Founder's Republic. All should be given a non-refundable, one way, ticket to hell. Behind enemy lines. In Unconstitutional, collectivist, Ct. We will never Comply ,nor Stand Down.AAA/O, 11B20. Now Ct,Governor [D]im Witt Dannel Malloy and his commissar's ,are going to impose a mileage tax on motor vehicles , using GPS ,to track our mileage on a yearly basis. This on top of Ct's gas tax ,highest in the nation. But us sheeple, lemming's, and goyium ,should not worry cause this new tax $ .Is going to be put in a locked box. And only being used for high way and road repairs. $'s collected from hunting and fishing, licenses and gear has for years.Been absconded by the General Fund. In violation of federal law . Telling these control freaks to Fuck - Off ,is not satisfying enough. Their collectivist paradise has usurped ,the Founder's Republic.!!!

"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.
