Is this the beginning of the end of the Republic?

Imagine the Men in Black issuing a ruling affirming the gun ban in Chicago. Now, there is legal precedent in doing so, so hundreds of other liberal cities follow suit - San Francisco, New York, all the rest...

Is this the “from my cold, dead hands” part we’ve always warned about?

Of course, the Supreme Court can do the right thing and rule how the founding fathers intended. But pardon me for not holding much faith in government right now...

Yes. Let's keep an eye on it...

If we were truly free you wouldn’t need ‘faith’ in government. Government would be all but irrelevant. You would only need belief in yourself, your loved ones and perhaps your God.

I know conservatives disagree with me on this, but don’t anyone tell them that’s exactly why we’re in this mess. They often argue the left’s position better than the left—an argument more about degree of slavery than principle.

Reagan argued AGAINST taxes and government. Conservatives seem to have bizarre built-in compromises when it comes to these things and it will forever return to bite them in their sorry *sses. If you want to keep the left at bay you have to argue on principle. No one argues passionately on compromise—yuk!

There are absolutes in this existence. The left understands this but the right can’t seem to stay balanced, or even upright, in this arena.

Gee, I wonder why so many were/are attracted to Reagan?
