Delay is wrong. Anyone trying to take away our fundamental rights is evil. That's defintionally true.
I agree with you (holymoly, not Mr. Delay). The ignorant swine that continually and knowingly lie about the effects of guns in our society deserve no respect whatsoever.
Like it would matter?
"Happiness is a warm gun."
BullSh!t!! He DID NOT apologize for his comments. He apologized for the way he said it. I can't believe the Houston Chronicle would promote such an inaccurate statement.
Let's back up and review, shall we?
Rep DeLay originally said
...that federal judges in the Schiavo case had "thumbed their nose at Congress and the President" by not ordering the reinsertion of a feeding tube to the severely brain-damaged Florida woman. "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior," DeLay said.And here's his apology
"I sometimes get a little more passionate, particularly during the moment and the day that Terri Schiavo was starved to death," DeLay told reporters yesterday. "Emotions were flowing. I said something in an inartful way and I shouldn't have said it that way, and I apologize for saying it that way."Note that he DID NOT apologize for what he said (which is what the Houston Chronicle, to their discredit, and the LSM would have you believe), he apologized for the WAY he said it. BIG difference
Some of them are bad people, such as Chuckie Schumer, Teddy Kennedy, Hillary, Diane Feinstein and others of their ilk. Most are simply useful idiots who swallow the party line hook, line and sinker. The latter just need to be educated.
If gun-control advocates were honest, debate might be possible. However, they all too often result to deception and bold-faced lies to support their anti-gun agenda.
Most of the people who support gun control are people who honestly and naïvely believe the stuff Brady, Schumer, et al. put forth. They are not bad people. That is not to say Schumer et al. aren't bad people--they are. But most of the followers are naïve, not evil.
Fundamentally, it is impossible to have a debate with someone whom you are calling evil. The goal of right-thinking people shouldn't be to dismiss everyone who disagrees with them, but rather to recognize that good people can be misled, and that it is consequently necessary to distinguish the good-but-misled people from the evil ones.
Agreed ,the folks who wish to destroy the Second Amendment have an agenda that would result in the wholesale rape of the Bill of Rights & the questioning of the motives of these people should not be out of bounds.
Having watched the gun control debate since I can remember it (1968 or so...) and being old enough to have had my first .22 bought by my father from Sears BY MAIL ORDER, I have come to the conclusion that pro-gunners don't get it. They consistently don't understand that this is a street fight. You don't fight a street fight by Roberts Rules of Order. You pick up a garbage can and bash it over your opponent's head. You break off a bottle and grind it into their face. You "continue to kick and stomp until victim is subdued."
What the pro-gunners don't get is that the opposition uses EMOTION and they're using FACTS. Emotion and facts are completely dissimilar and they're like ships passing in the night. Emotion will almost always win with the uninformed. Pro-gunners should be SCARING THE S*** out of people, not citing statistics. Scaring the s*** out of a housewife who is already afraid of crime will be much more effective than telling her about the number of defensive uses of firearms that resulted in no crime being committed in 1999. Besides, pro-gunners can always fall back on facts, the anti-gunners don't have any facts, at least no facts that aren't completely fabricated.
Wake up and smell the coffee, folks. This is a street fight. Start fighting like your enemy does.
