It took over 50 years for things to get as screwed up as they got by 1994. We've made some progress--and we've lost some, too. Them's the breaks.
We ain't going to build the New Jerusalem in a day--and, if we let folks like you captain the team, it won't EVER get built, because you'll just PO the electorate. (Unless, of course, you simply want to abolish those pesky elections--after all, YOU know so much better than the "sheeple" do, right?)
To answer your question, I'm neither f***ing stupid nor a BATF agent.
With what you posted, those are the only two options. Pick one.
Couldn't come up with anything better than that? I'm disappointed! After all, I put so much thought into my last post to you.
By the same logic, judging from your profile page, you think you're Homer Simpson. Again, you're not nearly as smart as you think you are, and you're continually proving it. But you know what Limbaugh says (well, maybe you don't), when someone's making an idiot of themselves, the best thin to do is stand back and let 'em. So go ahead...
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
"The only message Bush has gotten from many alleged conservatives was "screw you."
Yep, you're right. I wrote the words "screw you" right next to his name on my absentee ballot, right after I colored in his box. I voted for him to say "screw you". Real bright, guy.
"1. This isn't Bush, it's a spokesman (spokesperson, person of spoke) who can be disowned in a heartbeat."
Well, it's been a week and a half, and no disavowal. If he spoke without Bush's permission, he'd be looking for a job right now.
"Translation: he ain't going to cut his throat to appease people too damn lazy to help themselves BEFORE it gets to his desk, as they're likely to be too lazy to actually vote in November, anyway."
No one writes more letters, makes more calls, or sends more e-mails to their Congresscritters than the RKBA community. Any gun owner would know this, so what does that say about you, hmmmm? I bet you've never fired a gun, and just wish they'd go away, huh?
"Congress is in a far better position to take heat from the DNC, because that heat would be spread out across many members of Congress instead of being focused on one and ONLY one person."
And our Pubbie Congresscritters have so much backbone, don't they, Chuckles? I mean, that's why Klinton was removed from office in 1999, and our nuke weapons secrets weren't sold to China, and the "Patriot" Act failed to pass, and CFR was struck down, and we're enjoying the economic prosperity that Bush's meaningful, immediate tax cuts gave us, and our borders have been effectively closed by military patrols, and all the H-1B and L-1 visa hlders have been sent packing back to India and Pakistan, and...oh crap. I forgot, our spineless Congresscritters let all that stuff go on. Do you think they'll have the guts, two months before an election and in the face of the merciless media full-court press, to stand up, do the right thing, and allow the AWB to sunset? Man, if we were at the poker table, I'd take that bet in a heartbeat...after raising you big time!
"If you really think that the cause is now doomed, then you deserve to lose."
Okay, I'll say this really slowly, since you've evidently not understood what we "gun nuts" have been saying all along. Ahem...WE...LOSE...NO...MATTER...WHO...WINS...BECAUSE...BOTH
...PARTIES...ARE...TAKING...AWAY...OUR...SECOND...
AMENDMENT...RIGHTS...AND...ADVANCING...A...COMMIELIB...AGENDA. There...do you now understand that we conservatives are in a lose-lose position?
"Many of these people claim to have supported Bush in 2000. I find their claims suspect at best."
And the Great Pooh-Bear, the all knowing, all seeing, swami of the smarmy has spoken! He sees that the RKBA community actually didn't vote for Bush in 2000! He sees that it was, in fact, the union coal miners in West Virginia, and the retired "give me more" old folks in Florida, and the welfare suckoffs in Tennessee, who actually won the election for Bush! Sheesh...
"Rolling back socialism involves a concept that is apparently rather alien to a lot of conservatives. It's called "work."
As I've established many, many times already, rolling back Socialism apparently involves not voting for the Pubbies or the Rats. Maybe you're new to "working" to roll back Socialism in the GOP, but a heckuva lot of us have been doing it for 15 years or longer now, and we've gotten to the point that we're not going to write one more letter, make one more long-distance phone call, or even send one more e-mail. After years of banging our heads against the wall, trying to get the Pubbies to listen to our concerns about not only the RKBA, but a multitude of other issues, many of us are tired of the constant headaches. If it takes getting their butts un-elected to get a message through to the RINOs in DC (and Kalifornia), maybe that'll help. Until then, you need us, we don't need you.
Speaking of work, I have an appointment to go out on, so I'll give you a few hours to figure out how to respond rationally and logically, and leave the vulgar insults out. Good luck, Pooh-bear!
