This guy misses the irony in his points......
•Yes, you can buy guns without very much of a background check. When I was driving around yesterday I saw a guy walking out of a gun store with a bag, possibly enjoying his purchase of two new pistols. It was great!
•People really are afraid of socialism. This seems to be especially true the less they know about it, or believe it means turning their car in to the state. It also turns into fear of Obamacare being some sort of socialist plot, which is hilarious.

He thinks owning guns is great - yet he thinks socialism is also great.
If he only knew Obama not only wants Socialism in our healthcare but he also wants Socialism to force us to turn in - not our cars - but our GUNS to the state.
And about that turning in our cars to the state. That is in fact the goal of Obama’s brand of socialism. It began with cash for clunkers and the bailout and takeover of GM. Add in the money they give you to buy a Volt and the Unions and the CAFE standards and a thousand other regulations and you end up with what? That’s right; Socialism in our auto industry.
Reminds me of Hanoi Jane Fonda's boast that Americans would LOVE to live under Communism if they only truly knew what it was.
And then there is Bill Maher (a self-proclaimed Libertarian) who says that of course Obama had to lie about Obamacare, because Americans are too stupid to accept what's good for them.
It is incremental socialism. And it is as Ronald Reagan predicted in the early 1960s.
Calling those who oppose it "afraid" and worried about conspiratorial "plots" does nothing to say that ISN'T what it is.
From talking to by very liberal Brit in-laws I got the impression they think socialism is people caring for one another. They have a difficult time grasping that socialism, no matter how well intentioned, invariably leads to more and more control of government over individuals. Socialism basically infantilizes people. It takes away the ability of people to run their own lives and makes them more children than adults.
