We can't have both socialism and guns, now can we? The "people" might decide they don't like the government.

Last night, Milton Freidman said something like...

"They [politicians] swear to uphold the Constitution and when they get into office, they attack it."

We do have a process to amend the constitution, and for some reason, it never comes up. The libs like to have this concept of [as Al Gore said] a "living and breathing" Constitution - immune from the amendment process.....

The libs have bypassed the Constitution before:

Abortion, drugs, interstate commerce, social security, ....and on and on....

Perhaps, one day they will "read into it" that a social dictatorship solves all their problems. Just toss that 200+ year old document in the trash.

I remember hearing/reading some Congress-critter saying something to the effect that "The Constitution strangles democracy," to whit - whatever they can convince the mob that it wants.

If anyone can put a name to that quote, I'd appreciate it.

Socialism is a thing of the past. We are heading towards fascism,with governement to be replaced by corporations.
