...and we are all grateful that they did.
The poster's comment was prefaced with "when everything else fails", and that is a good preface.
Everything else has not failed yet and so we have a lot of work to do. If we are diligent, committed and it give it our all, we may be able to start the turnaround in 2010...but as I say, we have a lot of work to do.
I am glad the founders understood human nature so well to give us the great deterrent to tyranny that the 2nd amendment is. Let's all pray it can remain just that, a deterrent, for that is what it was meant to be. Reminding some of these pols, particularly the marxist variety, of that from time to time is probably very healthy for our republic.
In my opinion, that’s a very healthy response — thank you. Let’s get to the work of getting our Republic back to being a republic, and pray that there is no civil unrest.
BTW, I am definitely in favour of keeping the first and second amendments completely in place.
