Philly-area Freepers should write to the Inquirer and tell them what a liar Felker is.

Tammy Bruce is more of a man than you are, Mr. Felker.

Got that right:

... As a gay Viet Nam veteran, Mike, has always felt it was important that we realize the diversity that exists within all of our communities...

"Gun ownership not at heart of being American"

It's not gun ownership, but rather the right to own a gun that is at the heart of being an American.

"Abortion on demand is at the heart of being an American."

That, and the fudge-packers. Don't forget the fudge-packers.

Guns are making a combat zone of our streets.

Yep, those damned guns are out walking the streets at all hours, shooting at each other, and occasionally an innocent gansta even gets caught in the crossfire.

Maybe he was a short arms inspector.

"..perhaps his ignorance is excusable.."

Nah..Just being in the Unit, he would receive sufficient instruction in proper nomenclature in the space of about one week.

He's also an active member of the Philly Chapter of Veterans For Peace. The president of VFP, David Cline was a member of VVAW in 1970 and we all know which member of VVAW visited with the Communists in Paris...

Not that many degrees of seperation between Anti-Gun, Anti-War, Anti-Democracy...Anti-Freedom...

http:Well, since Marines have Corpsmen and NOT "medics", you might want to reconsider thanking this guy. I think he's a bull$h!!ter.

Try:

He seems genuine enough, although few here would agree with his politics. I suspect the business with "medic" and "gun" is just his adjusting his vocabulary for civilians.

As a start, it is imperative that in Pennsylvania handgun purchases be limited to one per month.

As a member of the "Gun A Month" club, I will have to say that it is getting expensive to buy that many, but I'm doing the best I can!

And that would have prevented this crime..... how?

Thank you for your service, Mr. Felcher, but you are an idiot.

Kudos for posting this moonbat letter to the editor. I think every moonbat LTTE should be posted on FR along with the author's name so it becomes part of the google search on that person's name.

Many newspapers delete their LTTE content from their servers after a period of time.

Posting them here is as permanent as it gets on the Web.

"Gun ownership not at heart of being American"

Actually, he's right.

Gun ownership is the soul of being American.
