The defense of Freedom is the only valid justification for war. All else is simply a quest for domination and the imposition of a particular minorities will on the rest. Freedom is a gift extended to others. It's a condition that exists when folks restrain themselves from micromanaging what are properly the affairs of others and respect their property and economic efforts. Freedom is not a set of privileges, that is continuosly diminished as time and "advancement" procede, or necessitate.
The 2nd Amend. is not limited to self defense, or sport. It is about the right to resist the armies of tyrants that desire to impose their will. Slavery and serfdom have been abolished, it will not return to this land w/o a fight.
"It is interesting to note the fanaticism it has generated particularly when the chance of the House extending it is zero. It won't even be brought up for a vote but that has not stopped the foaming at the mouth, blustering and threatening.
The fanaticism is as old as the United States itself. That's manifest in the Bill of Rights itself and throughout US history. There are those that would like to bury the evidence of it and that's the only reason you see folks talking about it now. You wouldn't hear anything about it if there was no threat to the right and Freedom itself. There is though and it's very evident.
"True conservatives are circling the wagons around the President to defend him from the RATmedia attacks rather than posturing and making empty and idiotic threats."
The president is not as important as Freedom. You'll not get the wagons in a circle if you tic off and attack the drivers, or betray some of them to the enemy, because they are expendable.
" You can shoot someone in most cases once but more than that is not allowed."
LOL!
Well said.
