Having traveled over much of the world I can tell you that THIS wonderful country of ours is the ONLY one that has this SECOND AMENDMENT which allows us to BEAR ARMS. It's not just Europe...not at all. Europe is socialist but it is liberal compared to the other nations and continents of the world. Guns are outlawed EVERYWHERE on this fair planet.
That being said, I uphold the second amendment 100% but am not going to engage in armed combat because of politics. I view the world beyond "Left" and "Right." I also have a very faith-oriented view of the world and try to live my life as Jesus would want me to.
To me that does not include pigeon-holing people into the political "Left" and "Right" which, by definition, preclude ANY room for faith, logic or ANY other viewpoint.
However, if YOUR world IS "Left" versus "Right" and YOU want to live your life seeing the two sides in continual, infernal and irremediable combat, that is YOUR right.
I defend your right to that opinion and way of life.

I have comments about “two” of the points u make in the paragraph cut and pasted above:
1. With all due respect, the naiveté of your comment about “I’m not going to engage in combat because of politics”.... is staggering. It suggests you are a pacifist who, ‘by definition’, are happy to let “others” stand up and fight and die and when the shooting stops emerge from their “safe place”. You can see a perfect, easy to follow video of this phenomenon on Oreilly’s Legend’s and Lies” tomorrow night at 8pm Eastern. Many thousands of “colonists” were like you.......they “refused to engage in combat over politics” preferring instead to let less enlightened people do their fighting and dying in their stead. We all want to live, but millions of Americans have placed their life on the line for their country (i.e. “politics”).
2. As for “pigeonholing people into “Left & Right”.... I’m sure you feel good saying that but then again we know that “Liberalism” depends entirely on “denial” and “dis-regarding facts” and “feeling good”.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, I do appreciate and respect your right to think and say whatever you want. I, on the other hand, just don’t have to agree with it.
