Sorry, but those of us with measurable IQs and a sense of history disagree.
And that rebellion is a lot close than it appears, you lib slime.
AGREED..!!!!!
0’s butthole buddies Bill Ayers and Bernie Dhorn believed in violent revolution, and judging by Meghan Kelly’s interview with the “former” domestic terrorist who “turned his life around” probably still does. Oh, but that’s different.
It is a mechanism to get laid in a liberal environment - whether straight or queer. It essentially means nothing substantive towards freedom or the liberty to keep freedom viable.
These people just don’t understand that their words and Americans’ responses to those words are fast approaching solutions that rely on “not-words.”
Political Cognition? Pfft! What the Hell sort of leftist BS field of study is that? And FIELD ORGANIZER? "Well, Tom, the field looks well-watered."
My God, I love how the lefties use every contorted, ridiculous combination of words under the sun to make themselves feel important.
Sorry Tom, not only is your premise flawed, your thesis is based on a strawman argument that has been thoroughly debunked every time is it examined in-depth. Your "blog" amounts to nothing more than an attempt at educated discourse, which fails in the most basic ways.
“Apparently the political science major/Obama booster author of the story never read any of the writings of the Founders, such as Jefferson, on the subjctt of an armed citizenry. Or, he doesnt care what they thought.”
The idiot who wrote the blog knows nothing more than what is in a textbook and what he learned from watching MSNBC and reading the DailyKos.
In other words a useful idiot of the left.
1. The 2nd Amendment does not refer to a right to revolt from anyone. It does, however, refer to the ability.
2. The "security of a free state" does not mean "the safety of the sitting government". It means security of a state whose freedom is threatened by enemies foreign and domestic, including progressive "thinkers".
3. "Keep and bear arms" means precisely that. It does not admit of legalistic pettifogging such as "you can have arms but not ammunition".
4. Cruz knows more about the amendment than one Jon Green knows or likely ever will.
5. "Political cognition" fail. This isn't even good high school stuff.
The author has succeeded in creating a piece of barf-inducing tripe.... (apologies to all the tripe consumers)
Maybe he just read this:
All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.—Benito Mussolini
Does no one but us Constitutionalists ever read the FF's numerous editorials, publications, diaries, correspondence between themselves, their debates, etc. regarding the intent of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and its Amendments? I'll look them up and post thme as I have in the past. In the meantime...
"When in the Course of human Events,
People like this are good for one thing... cooking and eating.
Okay, that's two things, but they're really closely related... this one writes like he'd be good barbecued, perhaps with some fava beans and a nice Chianti...
Kenyon College is a private liberal arts college in Gambier, Ohio, founded in 1824. It is the oldest private college in Ohio. The campus is noted for its Collegiate Gothic architecture and rural setting.[5][6] Kenyon College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[7] Newsweek selected Kenyon College as one of twenty-five “New Ivies” on the basis of admissions statistics as well as interviews with administrators, students, faculty and alumni.[8] The acceptance rate for the Class of 2018 was 24.6%.[9]
Kenyon was established in parallel with the Bexley Hall seminary by Episcopalian Bishop Philander Chase. Though its theological program gradually waned in importance (ultimately leading to the disassociation and departure of the seminary in 1968), the college continues to maintain an affiliation to the Episcopal Church. The college today prefers to emphasize its liberal arts tradition over its religious background.[10]

An armed citizenry is the very reason why a true tyranny like what happened in Soviet Union and China didn't happen here.
From the Declaration of Independence:
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce [the citizenry] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
End of discussion.
I supplied two of them above, along with quotes from more recent DEMOCRATS.
The poodle chews it (snap it!).
We should create an "Episcopalian" alert!
“America’s standing army in 1787 wasn’t exactly intimidating”
It wasn’t supposed to be. The founding fathers knew a large standing army would lead to constant wars and domestic tyranny. That’s why we didn’t have them.
This so called political scientist knows nothing. In fact, he should move to North Korea where he’ll be safe and among his loving ilk.
Not a speck of cereal!
