“And now if you’ll excuse me I have a noon tee time.” Guess that didn’t make the press release.

Does anybody have the stats on “golf club violence”? Seems like a certain kennedy cousin committed some of it many years ago. Just wonderin’ why he’s okay with golf clubs and his skeet shootin’. (Yeah, his skeet shootin’. That’s a laugh!)

Obama’s ‘traditions’ are socialist, Islamic despotism?

Isn’t that what is practiced in the third world, where America is blamed for the results of (their) corruption and lack of productivity?

Does he know anything of American traditions?

Other than race baiting, a rather recent tradition?

I hate when Obama talks about “our traditions” as if be understands what they are or has the slightest respect for them.

Our tradition is no gun reform.

That’s like calling for sleeveless t-shirts that respect the black tie dress code.

I don’t want to be restricted to one spear...

as they are in Kenya... ( ; )

Some want to reload...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Whittemore

Whittemore was in his fields when he spotted an approaching British relief brigade under Earl Percy, sent to assist the retreat. Whittemore loaded his musket and ambushed the British from behind a nearby stone wall, killing one soldier. He then drew his dueling pistols and killed a grenadier and mortally wounded a second. By the time Whittemore had fired his third shot, a British detachment reached his position; Whittemore drew his sword and attacked. He was shot in the face, bayoneted thirteen times, and left for dead in a pool of blood. He was found alive, trying to load his musket to fight again. He was taken to Dr. Cotton Tufts of Medford, who perceived no hope for his survival. However, Whittemore lived another 18 years until dying of natural causes at the age of 98.

I think very few of us are as old as old Samuel was - It is all about the warrior mindset. Soldier on!

Obama believes the ‘being my brother’s keeper’ is one of our traditions. He has no freaking clue.

As far as guns are concerned, they are RIGHTS, not just some kind of antiquated ‘traditions’.

Yeah, traditions like

work hard in order to have food and luxuries
delay gratification, get married before sex
Fathers, provide for your families
follow the rules, stay out of trouble

Hey Obama, gun ‘reforms’ that ‘respect our traditions’ means this: No gun bans, no magazine bans, and people could own a Browning BAR or an MG-34 without having to pay the ATF to spy on them constantly!

He must be dream talking again. When Obama says “American Traditions”, he is referring to what our traditions will be in the future. Should his dream “Hope and Change” be fully implemented.
