Sigh, I read threads like this and some times I'm worried that I'm just not conservative enough for y'all. Why do conservatives criticize Bush so much and profane exasperated surprise by the SG's position? Not you, but a lot of people in this post seem pretty ungrateful. If I were President Bush, wonder why I'd bother throwing this bone to the conservative lobby. Ah, forgive my cynicism, but it begins with the fact that the Constitution *does* say "well-regulated militia." But it does. My revolutionary ancestors in Bennington Vermont, Ethan Allen and the like, were often drunk when they fought though. So I truly wonder *how* well regulated the founders thought it had to be. I wonder if we all couldn't just compromise and agree that it has to be a militia, but it can be a few drunken scoundrels from Vermont and that's good enough. Aw, don't y'all start flaming me. This just isn't my issue and not one I feel strongly on. So sue me. But y'all be nice to President Bush. He did you all a favor here.

No you are conservative enough. Don't confuse being conservative with being a pitchfork waving, John Birch Society, Huey Long populist, Lew Rockwell reading nutcase. There is a big difference.

Ungrateful??? Favor??? Who in hell do you think you are? President Bush didn't do anything for us. The right is ours, always has been, always will be. It is ours to keep or lose.

Your comments are sickening, and part of the reason we are dealing with this to begin with.
