[John R. (Bob) Locke]

What a bunch of garbage. You guys are saying that it's okay for the Congress, Bush, and SCOTUS to tear down one of the most fundamental building blocks of this country so long as it helps Bush get re-elected in 2004.

That is beyond frightening.

What the hell are you talking about, there is not one of us that agree with this Bill. Why don't you get behind McCain for President or Dean or Gore. all of them would have signed this Bill with glee, that is what is scary.! Throw in Hillary why you are at it, you might as well, your logic is what is scary.!!!

What's " FRIGHTENING ", is that you have attempted to put words in my mouth, have totally misrepsented what I said in my post, have IGNORED, utterly, what I did write, and still don't understand WHY President Bush didn't veto the CFR in the first place, still don't know what a president can and can not/ should and should not say, and are seemingly devoid of even the slightest comprehension about politics, government, and the various, actual meanings of that which you are railing against.

Please, get someone to explain this all to you, as I shan't. There isn't enough time nor money, for me to take on that thankless job. LOL

Apparently, you cannot comprehend written word.

You guys are saying that it's okay for the Congress, Bush, and SCOTUS to tear down one of the most fundamental building blocks of this country so long as it helps Bush get re-elected in 2004.

To invoke your term, "it is beyond frightening" for you to suggest, much less publicly post, such a nonsensical assertion.

Woodyinscc, stated his opinion and whilst I commend him and agree with him, neither of us stated our agreement with the ruling.

If not the Congress, POTUS and SCOTUS, who else shall decide? YOU?

FWIW John Locke is one of my hero's, I have read every one of his treatists on the 2nd amendndment. I am a member of the NRA and do not even own a gun. I feel the same about the 1st amendment and all the rest. I just have this nasty habit of looking at the big picture, in the political landscape. I can understand your concern and angst over this decision, but the accusation of me being gleeful because I think it will get Bush reelected is beyond the pale.

If they vote for a usurper, they will get what they deserve. I would rather vote to give a proponent of Constitutional fidelity a chance. To vote for someone who violates his oath of office and indicates that he would do so again is to reward good for evil.

"Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house."
- Proverbs 17:13

"If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disbelieve, how can we afterwards defend our work? It is our task to raise a standard to which the wise and honest may repair, recognizing that the event is in the hands of God."
– George Washington, 1787.
