Until further notice, individuals cannot legally carry loaded, concealed firearms for personal protection in national parks and wildlife refuges.
The court did grant NRA's motion to intervene in the cases. Under federal law, NRA is entitled to an immediate appeal, and NRA will exercise that right.
"Just as we did not give up the fight to change the old, outdated rule, we will not give up our fight in the courts to defend the rule change," said NRA chief lobbyist Chris W. Cox. "We will pursue every legal avenue to defend the American people's right to self-defense." Read the opinion Here 
Or is shame dead?
I like a shotgun. You can’t tell if it’s loaded.
She didn’t abort, you freak. She made a mistake as did her boyfriend, but, man, don’t throw stones at a glass house, or you’ll be taken down.
This is failure as a parent. She clearly isn't paying attention to what her children are doing and unless she wants any more bastard grand-children, she needs to focus on them rather than running for president.
Geeeeze what a crummy thing to say. You've been here since 2003, so you can't even claim noob status. Are you sure you're not a wandering libtard in search of DU and got lost along the way?
I'm trying. I've been a public school teacher in an inner city high school for 14 of my 20 years as an educator. I've been trying to do exactly that. Trouble is, the sheep LIKE being fattened up before the slaughter which the wolf kindly lets them think will never happen.....
They are killing the thread with off-topic posts...
The tone of their posts indicate an immature status, that deserves ignoring...
None of us have ever condoned the actions of her daughter, but at least she carried the baby to term and is apparently raising the child...It says a lot more about how she and her family came to grips with a fortunate mistake, they value life over aborting a gift,and that just because the daughter gave up on the relationship, that is still the father of that child, and that he does have a responsibility, and hopefully we will not hear about their lives anymore in regards to the baby...
I would imagine the liberal in FR clothing will be finished with their jollies and move on...They seem to be throwbacks leading up to the November 2004 elections...We had a lot of lurking and instigating liberals posting on this website during that time...
But I am sure they will let us know something about that soon, should be fun to watch...
Well, quite.
Jesus would be proud of you.
You’re judgementalism is astounding!
Here, have another stone.
Seems you’ve cast the first, second, and third, and still aren’t done.
No, I’m just embarassed this woman made us spend the latter part of 2008 endorsing ghetto morality. “Just a mistake.” Whatever.
Or women. ;-)
Seems lately they're throwing a lot more carbs into the feed- I can't remember a time when so many complacent dimwads allowed the STATE to remove one liberty after another without as much as a peep. Or a 'baaah'.
Thanks for your service in the inner-city schools, where no doubt, there will be souls to save. I don't know how you do it, frankly. I went to a couple.
Since graduation from college and the 30+ years of 'real life experience' that followed, no school would let me on their campus. I've been self-employed over 30 yrs. No fed, state, or local 'teat' for me. My arrival on any state property designed to indoctrinate pupils into the virtues of 'collectivism' would have to be met with a show of force- I'm thinking SWAT team, to defend their interests.
My lesson plan would, on day one, include loading, firing, and cleaning a 50 cal smokepole. And for a target? Probably a picture of their principal. :^) Damn straight.
Granted.
Still a crummy thing to say. She's not endorsing "ghetto morality" and I know, because I've taught school in the ghetto for over 14 years, now. Ghetto morality is get pregnant because of the increased welfare assistance you'll get and ghetto morality is get pregnant while not being 100% certain of the identity of the father. Clearly that is not the case when discussing Palin's kid. Sara Palin is simply endorsing the moral DUTY to support and care for your child no matter what mistakes they make!
I'm embarrassed for you defending her.
Are you a parent? I am. Sometimes life just doesn't work the way you want and you know what? Sometimes it's that way even though you did everything correctly and responsibly. It's kind of like when I as an NRA Instructor give a class to somebody seeking a Florida CCW permit. I make certain to tell each and every student (and I make them sign to affirm that they understand this) that even if every tactical principle and rule is properly applied in a self defense situation, you can still get killed. That's nobody's "fault" it's just life. Safety is nice, but it's not first. Life is first and life .... isn't .... safe.
Life is difficult. It's s'posed to be. This difficulty is amplified by the fact that parents no longer have the single end all be all influence in the lives of their children. In fact, it's easily possible to DO everything correctly and still have the kid FAIL at everything. There are a whole lot more factors that influence the lives of todays children than when you or I were kids. I know, I teach the same kids everyday.
As much as you may want to control everything, you don't "control" anything. It is what it is. Sometimes, the best you can do simply isn't enough.
Palin's daughter didn't have an abortion much to the dismay of liberals everywhere. Had she done so, the liberal establishment would have heralded the child and her parents as "heroes" for doing the "responsible" (in their eyes) thing. Refusing to abort the child put her family values at odds with the liberal establishment which made her "world view" a direct threat to liberal doctrine should Governor Palin ascend to the level of VP or POTUS.
Don't be embarrassed for me (I'm standing next to Jesus on this thing), be embarrassed for yourself. Your condemnation makes you look like a stereotypical shallow conservative lacking any compassion or mercy. This is the kind of thing liberal love to parade on television as an example of why political control rightly rests with them.
You know why Bill Clinton could have illicit sex in the White House and not be swinging from the political gallows by sundown JUST for that act of lust? Because every man on the planet says "Okay so he's a sinner and I'm a sinner. That could just as easily been ME!" Of course Bill Clinton had many other issues besides his intense libido, but that was all the average "Joe" saw in the media.
When Clinton was impeached on that moral offense, we let him skate on the real issues, like perjury and treason. That was the moment the conservative movement in this country began to die in the eyes of the electorate. If we want to get back our political souls we have to take back the issues and the message and stop forming circular firing squads of our own! Your self righteous ignorance is that firing squads ammunition and your diatribe the finger on the trigger. You could do our side a whole lot more good by joining their side.
Yeah, no one's fault. That's right. They were just playing Twister and someone called out "Hand Circle Green" and then "Penis Red Vagina."
Your defense of this is lame.
Oh, and regardless, she SUCKED as a candidate and is a full on retard to boot.
Well you've just outed yourself as a full on LIBTARD and wandering troll.
SUMMON THE VIKING KITTY! CALL FORTH THE ZOT
I don't care if you disagree with her politics, but when you engage in the ugly smears of the liberal elites you ought to go out and join them. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. DU is easy to find: Go to Hah-vad and turn hard LEFT. I'm sure you'll feel right at home.
Thanks for the link.
I've done nothing for the last 15 years other than work to get Rs elected and advance the conservative movement. I know what we need and it isn't her - not now and not ever. Her children need a mom, and with them is where she belongs.
