Now there is a combination I struggle with. Why has the ACLU kept this "dispicable" American patriot, Constitution-supporting Conservative??? Is he just their "token patriot"??

Mr Barr's affiliation with the ACLU and their recent actions against Freedom of our religion, freedom of speech and the attack on Christmas, etc. Bob Barr for me is a big question mark, one to be watched, he seems to have left the people and entered into an area that he soesn't seem comfortable in.

One of the markers along this road, a goal, to Socialism is the Disarming of the American Citizen. This is why they are easing us into the European version of the Constitution. You see in the US Constitution our unalienable rights are derived from GOD! In the Europen Constitution the peoples rights are derived from the Government, there is no GOD in Socialism, all Atheists!

Here are a feww links to explain my point, scroll to the top:

I wonder if he will explain where the erroneous concept of "Collective Rights" came from? (Richard Nixon and his administrations attempt to disarm the Black Panthers in the '70's) It's time to recognize that there is no such legal principal as a collective rights. It's a fabrication. Rights, by their very nature are individual. The feds, the states, the counties, the cities do not have any "rights" whatsoever. Governments only have "Powers" in the Constitution and no "Rights". The Founding Fathers did not use the terms interchangeably.

But "Collective Rights", is the deformed legal offspring of the Nixon Administration, that the anti-gun lobby keeps alive on a ventilator and is being used by states without a 2nd. Amendment in their Constitution to deny their citizens the "individual" meaning of "Rights" in the Federal Constitution.

I'm very interested myself to hear him explain his being involved in the ACLU, given their treasonous dealings.

The answer is probably the same ; "know thy enemy" B.S.
Bob Barr strikes me as a compass without a needle.

I would be interested in seeing a transcript of his version of the 2nd Amendment that he speaks to Emory U. Emory is no friend of the 2nd. Amendment, but they are very chummy with the ACLU.

Excellent info and one thing to possibly add is a link to the website for "Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership" (www.jpfo.org). Pretty sure their site still has info on all the major gov't. engineering genocides (which killed millions) in this century from Russia, Cambodia, etc. and their point is that in every instance GUN WERE CONFISCATED FROM THE PEOPLE before the killings began. Pretty sure they know what they're talking about.

Isn't this the former Conservative who now whores for the ACLU?

ACLU = The Enemy Within™.

[notigar]

What's to explain? Bob stands against big government. He is against expanding certain police powers via the patriot act.

[zbigreddogz]

I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea. I actually agreed with 80%+ of what the ACLU did up till the 80's. They started getting shaky in the 70's, and lost it in the 80's. Maybe he's trying to get them back to their original positions.

That, or Bob Barr is just nuts. Well, he is nuts, but I don't know if that's the reason or not.

...Mordue held that Bach could not allege a constitutional right to bear arms because the "Second Amendment is not a source of individual rights."...

IGNORANT OR INTENTIONALLY REVISIONIST JUDGES!

The Preamble to the Bill of Rights

You left off the MOST IMPORTANT PART of the Bill of Rights -- the PREAMBLE which tells SPECIFICALLY that the Bill of Rights was to make sure the government knew it was limited to the powers stated in the Constitution and if it didn't, the amendments were rights of the people the government couldn't screw with.
Our revisionist historians ALWAYS leave this off the Constitution!!!
Here's a copy!!!

---

Effective December 15, 1791
Articles in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.

PREAMBLE
The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.

---

The first ten amendments are "declaratory and restrictive clauses". This means they supersede all other parts of our Constitution and restrict the powers of our Constitution.

There are people in this country that do not want you to know that these two sentences ever existed. For many years these words were "omitted" from copies of our Constitution. Public and private colleges alike have based their whole interpretation of our Constitution on the fraudulent version of this text. Those corrupt individuals have claimed that the amendments can be changed by the will of the people. By this line of reasoning the amendments are open to interpretation. This is a clever deception. The Bill of Rights is separate from the other amendments. The Bill of Rights is a declaration of restrictions to the powers of our Constitution. The Bill of Rights restricts the Constitution. The Constitution restricts the powers of government. The deception is that the government can interpret the all of the amendments and the Constitution itself. Without the presence of the Preamble to the Bill of Rights this may be a valid argument.

End the deception.
