Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., an alias, truly did play football too long without a helmet. He said of all his “achievements” as president the “greatest” is John Paul Stevens! Our little Republican primary voters have been nominating the wrong person for so long that I fear the liberal thrust can never be reversed.

I'm not advocating it, but I have to admit that it would feel really good to run every last totalitarian in America through a tree shredder.

To a liberal, all rights belong to the individual except when we are talking about possession of firearms.

This clashes with their idea of a utopian dictatorship.

Uh, no..

Look at the countries where only the military and police can own firearms.

As Limbaugh has said, If liberals interpreted the 2nd Amendment the same way they interpret the rest of the Constitution, firearm ownership would be mandatory.

The accepted definition of militia at the time of the Second Amendment was all abled bodied men. A change would negate the necessity of a standing army. We already have an army without a Commander-in-Chief, can the states protect themselves individually?

I would add a clause to the Second Amendment saying “It is both fitting and proper to shoot anyone who attempts to infringe on this right to keep and bear arms. “

Oh, and then only criminals will have guns via the black market. Won’t that be wonderful?

Stevens believes recent court decisions...placed too much emphasis on individual rights...

Only a hardcore commie pig or a radical Nazi maggot would think something like this. It's a good thing this moron is on his last legs.

I like Ann Coulter’s comment about poisoning Justice Stevens creme brulee.

And remember that honest Liberal Michael Kinsey said that before Rush did. Maybe an honest Liberal is not a complete oxymoron.

People like him wanting the rest of us to live as slaves to the state. I think a painful cancer death would be too good for him but some people say I’m a real hardass.

IANAL, but whenever I read the 2A, I think the intent was to protect the individual right to keep and bear arms, and also to allow these individuals to form themselves up into militias, independent of the Federal Government, where they could practice, drill, and train with their arms in order to be more proficient at protecting either themselves or their country when they were threatened.
