Seems you have come to the wrong website. We are Conservatives here.

I'd say it's the other way around, since you're about as conservative as a junior Giuliani staffer. If a Democrat is for gun control, it's "liberal." If your Republican President's new Attorney General is for gun control, it's "law and order." That's not conservative. That's not patriotic. That's not even smart.

You seem to confuse your own personal emotion based hysteria for fact. You seem to be totally confused by the US Constitution concept of separation of powers.

Again, you're acting like a liberal junior political staffer. This is not a game. Our liberties are the most precious thing we have. The current crop of big government globalists running the show in DC have little concern for that (as I note neither do you). Of course any alarm bells sounded by patriots will cause a knee-jerk accusation of "hysteria." I find it hysterical that more people aren't concerned. But I'm not surprised about you. You've shilled for the globalists continually. You're on their side.

Just for the record, I'm more interested in what the NRA has to say about Gonzales than you and your "separation of powers" technicalities, thrown up as a smoke screen to cloak the tyrannies this man has prepared for us:

He's defended the recent federal Telecom eavesdropping.
He's advocated watch lists for American citizens with respect to firearms ownership. (The NRA's letter to Gonzales is at that link.)
He has called for an attachment of a renewed AWB to the Patriot Act.
While corroborating details are still lacking, Gonzales apparently tried to pressure Ashcroft to agree to draconian spying measures while Ashcroft was in the hospital.

That's about as conservative as Bill Clinton's time in the Whitehouse. And it's more draconian, because now he's got Republicans like you to support it instead of doing their moral duty and opposing it on principle.

That brings us to the point: this party has no principles, and it's all about power for them. No wonder people are running away in droves. And it's very predictable that you're right here, defending the betrayers of our Constitution, and calling those who would sound the alarm bell "hysterical."

I also note that you've taken time out of your busy day to insult one of FR's finest patriots, who served honorably during wartime (Vietnam?). That's also the "liberal" thing to do, insulting veterans.

Damn, you went deep for that. A year and a half ago. I’m beginning to forget my own war stories. Thanks for the compliment, although, I never considered myself a patriot. Most of my friends and I were full of piss and vinegar in 67, but by the time I went back in late 69 a lot had happened in this country in the intervening 22 months. I wasn’t the only one who knew it was going to end. Hardly anyone believed in the mission anymore, if there had ever been a mission, and the idea was to get through the tour without getting yourself or anyone else hurt unnecessarily.

As for Johnnie, I just consider him FR’s own comic relief.
