Heston puzzles GOP, backs Siegelman

IMHO it's smart politics for the NRA and gun rights.

Reward your friends, even 'rats.

[Alas Babylon!]

El Gato, I won't argue with you about your response--it's true! However, Seigelmann is another Clinton wannabe. He supports, if you read the article, hunting rights, not gun owner rights. He is a tax and spend corrupt demoncrat.

[Hot Tabasco]

What exactly are you confused about?

Wellllll, since nothing has been stated in your own words, I can only assume you are implying that Charleton Heston has been symbolically banned for reasons known only by yourself since you have failed to offer your own ideas on this subject. Isn't click and paste great?

If that is truly the case, then what high-profile celebrity have you enlisted to replace Mr. Heston in supporting your 2nd Amendment rights? I am awaiting your intelligent response but please, please, don't forward me to someone else's comments.........I would rather hear your own words.

A rather amazing performance. You either have missed a two-day purge-a-thon or are willing to pretend. Yes, hyperlinks (not pasting) are nice. They allow one to tell a story by linking not only this, but also (if someone really needed it spelled out),

this, (So long, Darth Sidious!)
this, (So long, gunshy!)
this,
this,
this,
this,
this,
this,
this,
and this.

Which I'm sure is needed since somehow you've missed quite a bit of what's been going on around you the last two days.

Note that more than a few of the preceding are me, in my own words. But let me humor you.

1) The bannings are insanity with an activist flair. Not good for FR, not good for the Republicans, not good for anybody opposed to the Democrats.

2) TLBSHOW needs to put a sock in it. I'm rock-ribbed Republican--never voted for a Demo in my life--but I'm embarrassed to have him on my side. He's running around biting anyone not toeing the line, denouncing anyone in sight as a Democrat or a lib and behaving like a Stalin sycophant from the 40's Soviet Union.

3) You don't win elections by purifying down to some sliver of a core group. You have to reach out and recruit other people, other groups to help you defeat the common enemy.

4) FR can only lose steam and authority by becoming an organized cheering section and water boy for one party, right or wrong. Even my party. It was once an exciting place to be. (OK, we had Clinton to kick around for much of that.) Time heals, and the damage done in this bizarre push will take plenty of that.

Thank you for your response but still waiting for an answer to my above question......

Guess I missed it but thank you for trying. Now perhaps you could answer my question...

[VadeRetro]

I have done all that I know how to give you a clue. Where did I lose you? What do you understand about what's going on?

[Hot Tabasco]

Not quite the answer I was expecting but since that is the best you can do then I have to accept it. I was hoping for a legitimate answer to a legitimate question but all you could provide was a smartass remark which pretty much explains where you are coming from.

Good night Mrs. Callabash..............

Down here, most of the Democrats are far more conservative than yankee Republicans. E. Dole, for instance, is considered a Liberal around here. Some are actually Republicans that switched parties in order to run against imcumbents.

Locally, we've had Democratic candidates make shooting match challenges, boast of carrying pistols, and attend high-profile Baptist churches. (Yes, Chuck Baldwin actually has a church here.)

Except for a wacky few who celebrate First Monday at the local university, 2A rights here in the Florida panhandle are as uncontested as they can possibly be except for New Hampshire.

[Southack]

It's Vermont. Vermont requires no CCW to legally pack heat. You mean Vermont, not New Hampshire.

Reward your friends, even 'rats.

Watch your step, mister, or you will be banned!

[Eagle Eye]

Thanks.

Hold muh beer whilst I make the changes...

[VadeRetro]

I was hoping for a legitimate answer to a legitimate question . . .

What about #25 didn't you get? Heston (AFAIK) has never actually Freeped. Otherwise, he would be bannable under the current rah-rah emphasis.

You Yanks are tough to figure out. Why the affinity for Democrats? It's not like the Democrats have come to the table with a single big idea since Hillary's 1993 Healthcare nationalization fiasco.

The only difference between the North and South is our cities are bigger and that turns the whole state Dem. Take a look at the county by county map of the 2000 election. If your cities grow in population, your states will get more liberal.

Bull, some of the biggest libs in Congress are from the south.

"The only difference between the North and South is our cities are bigger and that turns the whole state Dem. Take a look at the county by county map of the 2000 election. If your cities grow in population, your states will get more liberal."

That's a very good point, worthy of Quote of the Day material.

No wonder the Democrats are fighting like mad to reign in "urban sprawl". Those leaving the established mega-cities must be draining the Dems' power...

[Travis McGee]

Whoops! Actually, I am just hoping to tempt some "good" 'rats over to our side.

[Dog Gone]

If your cities grow in population, your states will get more liberal.

I don't agree. The inner city always becomes more liberal, but the suburbs often are Republican strongholds.

Take Houston, for example. It's the fourth largest city in the country. The city limits are a Democrat stronghold, but the greater urban area is conservative.

Look at the map of the 2000 election you referred to. Even the city of Houston wasn't enough to make Harris County into Gore country.
