Some with good reason."<br /><br />Actually, those who see the US this way are completely ignorant, and quite typically they seek to be oppressors and are only angry that the US has gotten in the way of their mad dreams. No, there is not "good reason".

Soros has strongly fascistic leanings, consistently favoring the interests of the ruled over those of the rulers. It is said that he grew up under both Nazism and Communism. It is obvious that he learned nothing from either.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-30355238003136800472012-08-31T20:58:49.167-04:002012-08-31T20:58:49.167-04:00Well even a a*s like GS is right every so often!Well even a a*s like GS is right every so often!Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-91111718223348868022012-08-31T20:57:40.392-04:002012-08-31T20:57:40.392-04:00LOL!

I would love to get Mr. Johnson up on the stage with those two pandermeisters. Unfortunately, unless the man can get his numbers up to 5-10%, to include him, you'd also have to include the Green Party nominee, the Socialist party nominee, the Constitutionalist party nominee, etc..

James Madison did just that by proposing what became the Bill of Rights in 1787. Federalists explained that what became the Second Amendment would protect the right of the people to keep and bear their private arms, which would guard against tyranny and the evils of a standing army. However, proposals to increase state militia powers were rejected.<br /><br />Thomas Jefferson, a life-long hunter and gun collector, wrote just before his death in 1826 that “all power is inherent in the people; . . . it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” The understanding by his generation of the Second Amendment was clear and unmistakable—as its text states, it recognizes “the right of the people” to possess and carry arms. The Constitution defines the respective powers of the federal and state governments, but the Bill of Rights speaks largely of individual rights. If the Second Amendment is no exception, what it protects—and what restrictions government may impose—will continue to be hotly debated. <br /><br />Reference: http://www.independent.org/publications/books/summary.asp?id=72&s=gaLes Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-22030141613687251582012-08-30T20:56:20.001-04:002012-08-30T20:56:20.001-04:00Careful of what?Careful of what?Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-32166047642943095512012-08-30T20:30:42.282-04:002012-08-30T20:30:42.282-04:00So he wants the Constitution interpreted according...So he wants the Constitution interpreted according to original intent but but don't touch Roe?<br /><br />Right.<br /><br />y the way, Robert Bork, well known originalist has stated that the 2nd only grants you the right to join a militia.<br /><br />Careful out there.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.com
