The 2nd amendment gem, for me, is from one of the links in this one which i enjoyed immensely .. you did post it in toto, in reply to yours, but thought would just bring back a snippet .. there, love the language as nothing like an adornment which just fits a cake .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=4515120
The Second's Missing Half
News: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Yes, the 2nd bit is used as a rider in the amendment, for sure, and the right-wing boozos have stuck with the rider, but fallen off the horse.
Heh, from the the link above, he writes well .. ok .. WARNING, STRONG LANGUAGE ..
Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers .. link omitted .. you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons .. l o .. in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence .. http://www.motherjones.com/news/special_reports/1994/01/nra.sidebar.html ..? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries .. l o ..were? //////////////////// Many well-meaning Christians argue that the United States was founded by Christian men on Christian principles. Although well-intentioned, such sentiment is unfounded. The men who lead the United States in its revolution against England, who wrote the Declaration of Independence and put together the Constitution were not Christians by any stretch of the imagination.
