Quotes of the day

“The obvious rejoinder to these points is that Jones supposedly brought this on himself by long ago making a mistake and signing a misguided petition about 9/11. Obviously, he made a mistake – and he admitted that. But even if you don’t accept that apology or admission of fault, the idea that him signing that petition means he’s worthy of removal is just a pathetic argument that highlights the most damning hypocrisies of all. For instance, are we really expected to believe that Jones signing one random petition is a bigger problem than, say, Geithner accepting free room and board for the industry he is supposed to be regulating?…
Hence, we can be assured the original targeting of Jones was a calculated move with race in mind – a move designed to fit the criticism into a larger racial backlash framework first perfected in the 1980s. That framework has created a simple reality: In America, governmental advancement is wide open for right-wing movement players, and you can even vaguely hope for a seat at the political table if you are a white progressive former hippe-turned-yuppie liberal. But if you are a black person with any enduring loyalty to progressive movement or social justice activism, the loud and clear message from politicians and the media is that you are not welcome anywhere near the halls of power, because you will be billed as some nefarious combination of Al Sharpton, Huey Newton, Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael and Willie Horton.”

“Now, thanks to Glenn Beck, we’ve got that voice back. No longer tied to his desk with a sock in his mouth, Van is now freed to do what he does best: inspire and energize groups around the country…
I despise 9/11 ‘truther’ conspiracies. Indeed, one of the guidelines for bloggers on HuffPost is a ban on posts putting forth those kinds of theories. And it was stupid of Van to put his name on a very stupid ’9/11 Truth Statement.’ I’ve spoken to Van. He doesn’t believe that the Bush administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks or allowed the attacks to happen in a cold-hearted attempt to gin up support. The 9/11 ‘Truthers’ are fringe-dwellers and Van was completely wrong to allow himself to be associated with them…
Isn’t it time we acknowledge that no human being with any passion and deeply held beliefs ever emerged flawless into the world? And that if every mistake, misstep, boneheaded decision, or error in judgment becomes an automatic disqualifier for public service, then we’re going to be left with a political landscape filled with nothing but wrinkle-free, foible-free, passionless automatons who have never made a mistake because they never took the risk of having an original thought.”

Not ready for prime time. Not surprising, considering minorities in general tend to be anti-Constitution.
Still, good for Dr. Carson for taking on The One while standing next to him.

I honestly wouldn’t have a problem with that, but it isn’t really a necessary feature for the small arms of a militia.

To the Leftist Statists, the Constitution is not even relevant as a whole, only the parts that suit their needs at any given time, otherwise to be ignored. And, that, from their POV isn’t negotiable either.

It cancels out everything else because it suggests that he believes Constitutional rights are dependent upon something other than US citizenship.
That is an unacceptable position for a Republican candidate to take (and should be unacceptable for any candidate).
Missy on March 4, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Well because he just said something very STUPID…that your right to keep and bear, a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT is dependent on where you live…are you comfortable with a “Conservative” that says a Constitutional Right is geography dependent, at least in the US. So as a trade-off lets suppose he makes the following bargain, “I live in an urban area and so will have fewer 2A rights, but Changer1701 gets fewer SPEECH rights.” Comfy with that?
JFKY on March 4, 2013 at 3:55 PM
So you should only have the right of self-defense if you live in a low crime area whee you don’t need that right as much?
If however you live in a high crime urban areas that is more dangerous; you should have no chance of self-defense… or you should break the law yourself and increase the crime rate.
Did I summarize that point well enough? Does it sound stupid to anyone else?
Why don’t we legislate that only men can get abortions… we’re not banning them outright, just restricting access to a certain segment of the population (women)… that’s ok.. right?
We’ll just ban them for the ones who are most likely to want/need them.

But I think this is a fundamental inconsistency. I’m not sure how conservatives can concede the right to own fully automatics but deplore the ability of local governments, most likely urban and liberal, to limit semi automatics. If one if protected under the constitution, why isn’t the other?

What did I tell you?! When you all were crowing that Mr. Carson was the second coming? I said his speech was great and that regular American’s would be able to relate to him, but that I couldn’t wait till you guys learned a little more and realized he doesn’t talk or think like he’s on AM radio that you’d turn on him too, just like everyone else.
And here we are. :) Maybe you guys SHOULD listen to me a little more. Saying I told you so so often can be exhausting.
Hard core AM radio conservatives. Shunning anyone who doesn’t sound like the radio while your little island gets smaller and smaller. Keep telling people you don’t need them, and soon enough you won’t have any allies at all.
Wait, DO you have any allies left? Are they only on the radio? Tough position to be in when you’ve been lead to believe its the end of the world if you aren’t listened to and adhered to, canabalizing minority or not.
Hope you all are having a lovely day! :)

It is inconsistent, but the fully automatic horse is out of the barn for good. We need to focus on closing the barn door on the rest of the horses being threatened with infringement.

I could’ve sworn I heard about the 2nd Amendment way back in the second grade…call it 1969.

BobMbx on March 4, 2013 at 4:02 PM
Urban/Rural
This is a phony dichotomy based on sloppy thinking.
The real dichotomy is Self-Reliant vs Dependent
It is manifested in the “Urban/Rural” meme, but that fails to get to the root. “Rural” people are by nature (or necessity) more “self-reliant” than “urban” dwellers.
Think about it, it’s everywhere. It’s the essence of the “Conservative vs Progressive” thing.
Elites are “dependent”. The “Rich” buy servants. The “Intellectual Elites” ape the “Rich” but can’t afford their own servants, so they want “public servants”. The “public servants” want more work (and money). And there are a few “power freaks” who want to make sure that they control everyone and know that the more dependent people are, the easier they are to control.
Dependence is really bad for human beings. It’s makes really complex and fragile societies. (Easy for “terrorists” to break.) (I could go on, but hopefully you’ll get the idea and start thinking and talking about it.)

Because indoctrination and propaganda are very powerful tools, just being a conservative is no protection against or guarantee that you will not or have not been indoctrinated to some degree, just ask any conservative their opinion on Senator Joesph McCarthy and you will see how powerful and pervasive the Marxist indoctrination program is and how successful it has been.

Redford on March 4, 2013 at 4:06 PM
In one sense it is, but given that the intent of the Second Amendment is to create a citizenry capable of forming a ready and armed militia then a military capable weapon is what we are talking about. That doesn’t include tanks, or naval ships because that wasn’t what the amendment was establishing. So certain limits do exist as they must exist for any right. Since semi-automatics will do the job in question then it seems reasonable to establish the limit there. I could also see allowing fully automatic weapons.
sharrukin on March 4, 2013 at 4:06 PM
What part of that don’t you get?
Look up a Class 3 Federal Firearms License – which applies to AUTOMATIC weapons.
OhEssYouCowboys on March 4, 2013 at 4:06 PM
No, he’s suggesting that high crime, urban areas might be more heavily regulated where semi-autos are concerned. I don’t agree with the logic-they could fall into the hands of a crazy person out in the sticks, too, as could anything else. Aren’t there already different laws and regulations depending on where you live, now?
changer1701 on March 4, 2013 at 4:06 PM
Yeah.
Mark Levin will be very disappointed…and it will be interesting to see if he makes excuses for it…which he does for his pet candidates…

Ah, yes….that which isn’t being amassed by various federal government agencies, is being horded, first come, first serve, by those who fear a complete ban on ammo which would deny them any at all, or a coming apocalypse which would require them to have as much ammo on hand to face it. Or both. And of course, manufactures find it extremely difficult to keep up with such demand. Or so I hear.

This argument isn’t even logical. Rights don’t vary by location.
CycloneCDB on March 4, 2013 at 4:07 PM
Why do conservatives keep playing the left’s game on this issue? The problem with compromise such as this is that it makes those rights noted in the second amendment negotiable.
Instead let us negotiate like we would in business. My starting position is that every able-bodied adult “Must” carry a firearm at all times in public and also have a fully automatic weapon at home (as in Switzerland). This is constitutionally required no matter where one may live.
Now we can start to talk compromise.

SWalker on March 4, 2013 at 4:08 PM
Right, because him preferring not to have semi-autos in high crime urban areas basically makes him a Dem? Why does that cancel out everything else?
changer1701 on March 4, 2013 at 3:47 PM
The founders gave us the right to bear arms in the SECOND amendment because they understood just how crucial it is for all of us to have the right to defend ourselves from criminals whether they be individuals or governments. If the founders would have thought it not so important they would have mentioned it much later in the Bill of Rights.
Anyone who comprimises this fact is unworthy of consideration.

BobMbx on March 4, 2013 at 4:15 PM
I’m unconvinced. Do urban areas need gun control because they have high rates of crime being committed with handguns? Or do they have high rates of crime being committed with handguns because they have gun control? Would urban criminals alter their strategy if every third or fourth person they tried to hijack or hold up was a concealed weapon holder and pulled a gun on them?
Single-variable correlations rarely tell you what you need to know about complex social interactions. Take a look at all the variables John Lott used in his study of the effects of concealed carry. You need to eliminate a lot of alternate explanations before you can claim you’re doing the right thing by relegating city dwellers to fewer civil rights than their fellow citizens in the country.

hawkeye54 on March 4, 2013 at 4:16 PM
Have you given much consideration to the phrase “Shall not be infringed”??? Licensing, permitting and registration can only be described in terms of “Infringing upon”, that the burden for owning a fully automatic firearm is substantially greater than for a semi-automatic is indisputable, that the conservative community has long since acquiesced to that increased burden is likewise indisputable. More importantly, that that acquiescence exists at all in an unconscionable violation of both the letter as well as the spirit behind the 2nd amendment.

Why? They would have to admit that 72.5% of gun-related homicides are committed with handguns and the majority of homicides are committed by African-Americans. It poses the Bill Cosby problem for them. So, instead, they focus on “assault weapons,” which were – WHEN INCLUDED WITH ALL RIFLES – the weapons used to commit only 3.8% of the gun-related homicides in 2011 and shotguns, which were used in 4.2% of the gun-related homicides in 2011. Coincidentally (NOT!), rifles and shotguns are most associated with “white, Southern, Conservative, Christian, redneck men.”
As for the geographic area argument, I don’t think that would pass constitutional muster under the Equal Protection Clause.
Resist We Much on March 4, 2013 at 4:23 PM
Not just No, but absolutely and unequivocally NO. The Founding Fathers did not GIVE us the right to keep and bear arms in the 2nd amendment. They made it indisputably clear that that right already existed and that the United States Government, whether Federal or States was completely and totally bared from ever infringing upon that already existing right.

The 2A is just being litigated, so the fact tha some places have stricter gun laws than others doesn’t, necessarily, prove anything….Overall, the 1st A is fairly universally applied, becasue the law is more settled.
Think analog…can a state restrict your ability to own and operate a blog, because you live in a city? You may face greater costs, if you operate a blog in a city, BUT can the state say, Changer1701 may NOT operate or comment on a blog, because s/he resides in a hi density urban enviroment?
