From where I'm sitting, it looks like Bush does the absolute minimum in defense of the 2nd Amendment.

Dubya is not the answer to all our hopes, dreams and prayers. Nobody on this earth ever will be.

Dubya is, first and foremost, a politician. Anyone who wins elective office is a politician, by definition. Dubya happens to be an extremely shrewd one.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Maybe Dubya is really a closet gun-grabber. You want him to "move on gun friendly initiatives when he has the political cover." I am just glad he is shrewd enough not to go in the opposite direction.

Politics is not religion, it is war. In religion there is only truth and heresy. In war there is only winning and losing. You win a war by winning a long series of battles. Sunsetting the AWB is the objective of the current campaign.

We are scheduled to win this campaign, UNLESS the AWB renewal gets put on the radar screen because some "conservatives" are idolators who consider politics to be a religion and will settle for nothing less than dogmatic declarations by their false god in Washington.

I disagree. Our political positions stem from our religion, or lack thereof. Politics, may be war, but if divorce it from truth, we will find ourselves losing even if we win. It is not acceptable to win by any means necessary.

"We are scheduled to win this campaign, UNLESS...idolaters...will settle for nothing less than... their false god in Washington."

I fully agree, we loose our freedom or win it back one campaign at a time.

As for each campaign, we must keep our cards close to our vest, and play when advantage is best.
