And the "selective" choice of words for defining the term "militia". We all know the "original" definition and the "progressive" one offered by the liberals are in striking oppisition to one another.
No, you were quite correct. The only change I'd suggest would be to strike the word only.
While other groups may revise history as well, you've properly identified this particular group.
It's very important that freedom-loving people prepare their children for that day when their teachers will attempt to misrepresent important Constitutional issues.
My youngest daughter was well prepared when her high school teacher attempted to tell the class that the Second Amendment only protects the state's right to arm their militia. My daughter carried the day with the class because she had the facts and she prevented that class from being infected by liberalism that day and with respect to that issue.
Perhaps we can get to a situation where every classroom will have at least one student ready to speak up. It will slow down the indoctrination if the teachers hesitate to touch some subjects because they will be effectively challenged.
Illiterate people are the helpless prey of scoundrels, conmen, politicians and lawyers.
If we can't teach them anything else can we at least teach them to read and understand the language?
Pretty please?
If a felon cared for his family he wouldn't have committed a crime which put him in prison. Who took care of his family, who "protected" his family, when he was locked up?
As far as expecting a felon who has shown no respect for the rule of law to defend against a tyrannical government flouting the rule of law ... well, let's just say I'm not counting on it.
The law says a felon loses the right to possess a firearm and the right to vote. By your statement, I would guess losing the RKBA to be the greater evil?
Nobody who had ever seen REAL legalese would describe the Constitution that way.
"The Eighth Amendment's "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" clause is applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. (Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber, 329 U.S. 459 (1947)).
The Supreme Court has not yet determined whether the "excessive bail" provision of the Eighth Amendment is applicable to the states through the Fourteenth amendment. However, because the provision seems logically intertwined with the other provisions of the Eighth Amendment, it may already have been impliedly made applicable to the states."
We aim to please. The above from faculty.lls.edu.
