“My mind is made up. Don’t bother me with the facts. I’ve got better things to do.”
At any level of government, officials must take the standard oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution. Any who then propose or vote for anti-2nd Amendment laws should be prosecuted for treason. The language of the 2nd Amendment is clear. It isn’t about duck hunting.

Feb. 7, 2013 at 6:56pmNice try your rant didn’t have anything to do with the article. We want the government back that didn’t think they had to be involved in every aspect of a persons life. And if you will recall back to the days of slavery. Lincoln was republican. People were actually being brutally forced to do something for someone else for no pay because they were property. tens of thousands of men gave their blood to end it. So cut the mean remarks. If you want the government, and that could also be a Bush in charge of everything in your life just say so. Now the guy playing games on the computer that smacks of rudeness, and he got caught. Had nothing to do with anything you just talked about.

Feb. 7, 2013 at 5:46pmA question for my conservative friends, when you guys talk about how today’s government is infringing on your rights and it is mismanaging the economy, it always ends up at the same point-nostalgia for a long gone america. What America are you talking about-
FDR’s New Deal America with ~90% tax rates for the wealthiest, Eisenhower’s era with his continuation of the New Deal packages and his 94% top bracket rate, JFK and LBJ’s Big Gov. Great Society, the Nixon era with his embrace of Keynesian/deficit spending and support for the EPA, the stagflation of the Ford/Carter Era, the Reagan Era with his Amnesty for illegals and support for Social Security/Medicare, the Clinton Era with its 40% top bracket, or the disaster of the Bush Era.
Do we need to go further back with the 1920′s era of rising inequality, decreasing regulation and the resulting Depression. How about the Progressive Era of the early 1900′s when the empowerment of workers rights and labor unions reached fever pitch with the help of both Republican and Democratic Presidents. Or maybe, you guys fetishize the Jim Crow Era of the late 1800′s. What about the Radical Republican Era of forced reconstruction via an all powerful federal gov. I need an answer because if we start going further back, we’re getting dangerously close to slavery and open/violent discrimination of minorities and women, which I know you guys don’t favor, right?????

Feb. 8, 2013 at 2:50amYou are locked into some sort of “timeline fetish” to use your jargon. First of all, there is a broad spectrum of Blaze folks. Some are Conservative and some are Libertarian, for example. Most look at issues and determine what is the best way to address that issue. You seem to have access to a time machine — go where you want to go with it, don’t let me dictate to you.
