For so many years now, I have labored under the illusion that these
power-mongering bastards have any regard for truth or fairness or even
common decency. I am awake now, as I watch California begin confiscating
legitimate semi-automatic rifles, under the libel of "assault weapon".
These people are not just ignorant-they are willfully ignorant. They lie
about what is plain and established fact. They make a pretense of being
concerned for childeren, but they want no facts that suggest that gun
ownership makes life safer for childeren. They make a pretense at respecting
the Constitution, but simply throw out the parts they find inconvenient,
like the second and tenth amendments. But this I have recognized for the
last several years. The Leftists are lying, insencere, phony cretins. And
there is no disuading them from their intentions, because their intentions
are not about serving the common good; it is about them monopolizing power.
One look at where Tony Blair's Brittain is going is enough to convince any
rational civil-rights minded person that we CANNOT allow ourselves to be
disarmed.
What has severely changed my attitude over night was reading Courtois' "The
Black Book of Communism." It is an enlightening book, because the
statistics of Communist slaughter are generally not identified with names
and faces of the perpetrators and victims. This leaves the reader with a
feeling of artificial numbers, of mere abstraction. It is true; one freind
dying is a tragedy, one million is a statistic. Courtois brings the victims
of communism to life and gives them a face, a name, a beating heart that you
know is stilled by the bloody hand of oppression. Just one picture can
bring about this change, and for me it was the one of a Polish officer being
impaled. He is contorting in obvious pain. And standing around him are
scores of Communists watching, with smiles across their faces, eyes
transfixed on the mans suffering and enjoying it. It is horrid. It is an
awaking alarm.
Then, when you look back at how the Left in Western society has steadfastly
tolerated and excused Communism, it makes you enraged. The Left declared
Communism the future of mankind, and savagely attacked anyone that opposed
them, from Whiticker Chambers, to Richard Nixon, the only President hounded
from office. When you realize that our current President and his top
administrative officers gave aid and comfort to this monstrous enemy both
today and as our boys bravely fought against it in SE Asia, you feel
nauseated. The Left is as guilty of these crimes as the original
perpetrators are, because they lied for them, they covered up for them, they
interfered with opposition to them and disarmed the Communist's opposition
whenever they could. The Left is apparently tolerant of the Communist
"excesses" at best, in agreement with the slaughters that have been
committed and merely pretend ethical objection at worst. Either case goes
beyond the pale for me. The same lying that is evident at the Stalinist
show-trials, with complete solid block voting and intolerance of dissent, is
manifested by the Democrats of today anytime that Clinton is criticized.
During the impeachment, Clinton's guilt or innocense was immaterial to them.
They couldnt care less what he did as long as he was their man, and they
voted for him at every turn as a party block. You can be a rapist like
Clinton and stay in office if your politics is Leftist, but if you steal a
kiss under the misltoe like Packwood and oppose them, then you go off to
jail or unemployeement or a firing squad. The crimes are really irrelevant,
only the politics of the perpetrator is important. To the Left, the only
crimes are political crimes, and I understand that now.
What I also understand is that the Left wants no opposition at all, and that
includes gun ownership. They WILL disarm American citizens if they can, and
only violence will stop them. They know and understand nothing less than
brute force, of a boot on their neck holding them to the ground and a cocked
gun muzzle to their face. Only Then will they stop their clawing for power
over our daily lives, only then will they stop wrecking families, burning
churches, confiscating peoples homes, and sending innocent men to jail to be
raped and killed. And for many of them, not even then, only the grave will
stop them.
The day that such violence is necesary is fast approaching us. We must
prepare for it. I am not speaking of Y2K, I am speaking of the further
gun-confiscation that the Left will pursue once they claim victory in
California. Gun owners will soon have to choose between obeying the law and
following their conscience. It will be necessary that gun owners learn to
make their way in the black market, and find a commuity that agrees with
them and will support them, such as a church or hunting club. Read about
underground resistance groups, especially the Islamic resistance groups who
have been so successful against both Western and Russian forces. Learn how
to forge documents, change identities, break into an office undetected, and
evade pursuit or surveilance.
Prepare now before the opportunity passes you by, and the Left leaves you
without defence or alternatives.

I think many of them just want to feel safe. As our owning of weapons
makes them feel unsafe, they want us not to own them.
But of course, none of that really matters. In 20 years or so, the
people who are in power today won't be in power any longer; people get
old.
However innocent these people might be, it won't matter if -- 20 years
from today -- we have someone worse than Hitler running this country.
Up until the end of the First World War, Germany was a monarchy.
Then, (in 1920, I think) it became a democracy.
Good thing too, otherwise something bad could have happened over
there.
I think mass, government-sponsored murders could happen here, too.
Our ignorance of the murders committed by the communists may be our
undoing.
We do a pretty good job of guarding against the racially-motivated
killings that happened in the Holocaust. I think this is because of our
own racist past.
But we're not even aware of the millions murdered by the communists.
So as long as a future Stalin doesn't wear a white sheet or a
swastika, the vast majority of Americans will think he's fine.
It's too bad you went and alienated everyone in the NG, Richard. If
you hadn't, maybe some of the people here would have read this with an
open mind.

How can you say this, when you dont know what extent I am concerned about

Nonsense. I have some leftist leanings, but I am indeed concerned for the childeren,
just like you.

Well, if everyone calls it a goose, after a while, it might as well be a
damned goose. Everyone I know now refers to ANY military style weapon as an
"assault weapon", I even catch myself from time to time.

You know, when the ACLU (American Communist-Leftist Union) defends the first

Some very good points, Loneshoe. I agree totally. In fact, we have seen
this to a great degree already with Clinton.

I doubt that any Leftists had an open mind to begin with, and as to the
moderate types that are alienated, I cant help it. I LOATHE gun-grabbers.
And it would eventually come out no matter what I did to hide it; might as
well be frank from the start. I hold nothing but hate, disgust, ill-wishes,
spite, disrespect, and low regard for these cretins.

Please tell me who in here is a gun grabber? Not one person has ever
advocated taking away guns. MT and now Cheek have made the quantum
leap that those that oppose their views want to pry the glocks from their

Again, not true of anyone in here. Yes, there are many anti gun loons out
there and I oppose them, although not as fervently as the gun loons. Please
cite where anyone in here has stated that?

We got a swift one here folks.
The ACLU claims to defend freedom of speech, but they do it in cases where
the threatened spech would advance thier cause by being either Leftist
propaganda or extreme right propaganda that they think will help keep the
Leftwing donor's fear of the "boogeyman" alive. But if someone wants to
read a Bible at their school cafeteria during lunch, or put up a cross in
honor of their slaughtered children, then the ACLU attacks that free speech
because it is insensitive! The ACLU's real goal is to simply bleach all
forms and traces of christianity from the public arena, and again, this
violates freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Can you actually follow all that? Come on, think really hard now!

Well, you see, RGC, Randy had a head injury a few months ago and ever
since he has been buying up all the un-used "stupidity credit allowances"
that Haele and a few others here have no use for. Randy has LOADS of
money so he can afford to buy up all the un-used "stupidity credit
allowances" that money can buy.
Randy even tried to buy mine, he offered a pretty good price too!
However, as it happens, I already sold all of mine to Jody English!
I SWEAR, this was long BEFORE I knew how he was going to use them.
If I knew what Jody was going to use them for, I NEVER would have
agreed to sell!
I just wish people would STOP SELLING their "stupidity credit allowances"
to Randy.
I KNOW he offers a lot of money, but PLEASE people, THINK what you are
doing by selling your un-used "stupidity credit allowances" to Randy!
I KNOW it may be a financial hardship for a few of you, but I ask you
to try to find other places and ways of selling those credits elsewhere.
The USA government does have a subsidy program that can help, it sort of
works like the Farm Subsidies where they PAY you NOT to use or sell
your un-used "stupidity credit allowances".
Please, any of you that have been selling your un-used "stupidity credit
allowances" to Randy Downs, please stop.
We will all be better off if you do.
> Can you actually follow all that? Come on, think really hard now!
Uh, nobody here will sell Randy any "thinking tokens", don't bother
asking him to try.

the ACLU does not oppose voluntary prayer in school. they oppose, as
does the U.S. Supreme Court, organized prayer in school. they are
totally in favor of little johnny being able to sit at his desk and say
a prayer on his own.
"Every child in the United States already has the right to pray in
school on a voluntary basis -- it's called the First Amendment."

It NEVER did. Jefferson and Washington and the rest said government

If he has done any REAL crimes, that would be different, but as yet,
we don't have any evidense of that.

Simply your warped take on it. You are really sad.
Someone is going to get a nasty letter from Clinton!
MT
I could be wrong, sure, but can you tell me in what way I am
over-simplifying this??
RGlenCheek
Why? I will support the ACLU when they just happen to get something right.
But they have gone far from the individual rights/ First Amendment stuff
that made them famous. IMO.
RGlenCheek
Eh, I think they only gave them the First Amendment; they cant read the
other ones!
RGlenCheek
Well, I cant argue this point, since I havent read up on it in a while. I
do seem to recall them challenging some kids reading his Bible during lunch,
but its very foggy.

I think that is a goal, conscious or not. It explains a pattern they have
of defending some free speech rights but not others. Why cant a man erect a
cross in dedication to his daughter on public land, when the government does
this all the time in Arlington national cemetary? Why cant a student lead a
prayer before something as silly as a football game, when the Supreme Court
and Congress both open each of their own sesssions with prayer? Why is it
against a child painting a picture of Jesus or His mother as a famous public
figure for a High School art assignment, but the New York museums can spend
public money to show paintings of Mary that are smeared with excrement? Is
religious expression in the public square acceptable only if it is
derogatory or insulting to religion?

It continues a convenient specter for the Left to solicit donations in the
cause of opposing them. The definition of a "racist group", is 100 FBI
agents under cover, and one fool naive enough to beleive their lies. The
Left needs such irrational and vicious groups to exist so they can warn
everyone of what will happen if they dont get that money. In some respects,
the ACLU is only half a step above a TV Evangelist.
RGlenCheek
Oh, and Stalin and his Communists were, what, atheists at their best?
RGlenCheek
Well, Randy, there are more important civil rights issues today than whether
a bunch of idiots can march their dirty laundry in Times Square. Which is
why I dont think the ACLU is really on the cutting edge of civil liberty
issues anymore. What have they done on the issure of the property forfeiture
laws, for instance?
RGlenCheek
Why, thank you, though it was only metaphorical, I will still accept your

It was my understanding that the "excremental" art is a form of high praise in
certain parts of Africa...hey, I have no problem with religious artwork. The
Sistine Chapel is great, even if a dirty homo painted it. I also have no problem
with certain religious expressions as long as they aren't veiled attempts to
spread religious homogeneity.

1) Obviously Carter wasn't EXACTLY Presidential timbre, but was honest.
2) Reagan, unfortunately, was senile when he took his first step into the Oval
Office. Do you know he was actually asking about the location of the White
House War Room, which he had seen in Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove?" (There IS No
War Room.)
That has always been his occupation, as proven by the bulk of his posts
under BOTH identities.

Reagan was brain-dead from the second year, he was also an asshole

Naaaaaa, atheism is a handy excuse for oppression in the hands of
dictators, especially dictators who look around and see they now
control a nation consisting of many different religions.
Look at the atheist dictatorships, you will find that their
nation was multi-religious prior to the dictatorship take-over.

It is very cynical, but then the evidence seems to support such a view. Eit
her the ACLU is too stupid to realise they are fighting 1990's issues with
1950's approaches, or else they just dont care that much about civil rights
anymore. I know these guys are NOT stupid, so I am left with the latter.
What other alternatives do you see?

Well, on that kind of evidence, Algore is already senile as well. He was in

embarrassed, then busted out laughing; they were in a room filled with the

Or that he discovered Love Canal or co-sponsored
McCain-Fiengold(eventhough he wasn't in congress at the time), or that

I dont see it exactly that way. I think it is very much wrpped up in
partisan politics, true, as is the tobaco issue, IMO. But the Republicans
did what they saw as being in their own partisan interests, leaving a tarred
Algore weakened in 2000. In fact it was so predictable, I predicted it it
about a year before the Senate finally voted on it, as have others. There
are three parties in Washington, a friend told me; the Democratic Party, the
Republican Party, and the Appropriations Party. The latter party has been in
power without interuption for 67 years.

Why is concern about whether we have a criminal in the WH nothing more than
a "hate" issue, instead of a "good government" issue, or a "justice" issue?
Why are Demoncrats so quick to sling that word around, anyway? Yes, I hate
theives, crooks, rapists, drug addicts, and murderers, but that is only
relevant to Clinton if applicable to him. Lets get the facts out; but he has
done everything possible to prevent this. Why?

Impossible, Gore isnt elected yet. They are making money hand over fist now,
true, but that isnt hinged on Algores election, obviously. Algore will
simply expand the market exponentially as the WH and a Democrat controled
Congress bans nearly everything in sight.

Having lived here during the Reagan governor years, I can assure you

Interestingly enough, they have the highest black concentration, high

I know that the words:
"Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth"
Is a MAJOR bitch to accomplish, especially that "whole truth" part.
I know that perosecutors AND defense lawyers tell witnesses to keep
their answers short and ONLY give exactly the minimum info REQUIRED
for the answer not to be a lie.
That REQUIRES failing the "whole truth" portion for almost every witness.

Because "criminal" has a meaning, and it does NOT mean a bit of

And MORE IMPORTANTLY, it in NO MANNER relates to his job as prez.

Just from the possiblity of his election has increased the black market

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the bad education and poverty are not
cause and effect relationships, but are simply parralel causes to the SAME
root cause? That cause being that the heavily pro-Democratic partisan
nature of the black community has left them with NOWHERE ELSE TO GO EXCEPT
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! So the Dems can shit all over the blacks as much as
they want, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will run all over each other
trying to get the spot-light so they can cut a deal that will bring the
black community back into line behind the Democrats. Unionised educational
systems, gun bans, high taxes, indulgent law-enforcement, and over-regulated
markets are all Democratic Party standards, and ALSO the biggest reason WHY
the black community was doing better BEFORE desegregation economically,
educationally, and in personal safety!

That what the Republican whores in Congress would do was exactly predictable
because it was based on what they saw as their own best interests. If you

Perjury IS illegal! It simply isnt a "high crime" in the context of a
deposition on a civil suit over sexual harrassment before the current
President began to serve.
> And MORE IMPORTANTLY, it in NO MANNER relates to his job as prez.
HIS JOB IS TO BE CHEIF EXECUTOR OF THE LAW AND THAT INCLUDES OBEYING THE
LAW! Damn! No wonder you Democrats have allowed your party to become a nest
of theives, drug addicts, and perverts!
> > Why are Demoncrats so quick to sling that word around, anyway?

Bullshit! Clinton is a criminal and a disgrace and it has NOTHING to do
with hatred of him personally. The Democrats are just a bunch of whining
children caught in the act, and now pleading that it was someone else's
fault, someone "made them do it"! LOL! Clinton is an assiciate of known
drug dealers (including his brother Roger), perverts, theives, and liars. I
doubt he is innocent of the criminal morass swirling around him!
> > Yes, I hate

Heheh, well I particularly hate the ones that are good at getting away with

liar"? Even another poilitician was left in reverent awe of how good
Clinton was at ejectiong his moral compass, gyroscope and sextant all in one
fell swoop!

Hey, I always call a spade a spade, even when it dis-agrees with my
politics.
I agreed strongly with many things Reagan did and said, and I said so
at the time. But on a whole, he did more harm than good.
Oh, and I might want to point out that Reagan was a DEMOCRAT when he was
gov of Calif.... Or am I remembering that wrong?

Makes no sense at all unless you think the Demos are deliberatly causing
poverty.
Stupid 60s exeriments in education are as much to blame.

As a result of the public being pissed-off at the Republicans, they LOST
seats that they should have won, that is what allowed Al Gore to get a
50-50 tie to break.

The Republicans were already the majority in 1998, but if it had not been
for pissing everyone off, they would have gotten more of a majority.

I read in-context, but your remarks were irrelevant to the point I raised.
Which was the Reps pissed-off so many people prior to the 1998 election
they LOST seats that would have prevented the 50-50 problem.

I think he did some harm, but more good. I think he and John Paull II are
the primary two people responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Reagan's Star Wars programs pushed the Kremlin into bankruptcy, and John
Pauls willingness to go to Polands defense personally paralyzed the Kremlins
will to crush Solidarity. With this in mind, I cannot give Dutch a failing

I know he was a Democrat before the Party left him, but I think he was a

What is rational about leaving no competition for your votes? W Bush shows
that the Publicans have essentially given up on the black community, and are
pursuing Hispanics instead. This solid block voting pattern that the black
community engages in benefits no one but the Democrats; and the state of the
inner cities demonstrates this.

Well, I can get the data here for you, I think. It is an eye opener. Not
nearly as many blacks were lynched by the Klan as are killed by gangs every
year in the US, for instance. You would like that if you were a Klansman;
more dead blacks with no effort and no risk of trial. Still, better freedom
in poverty and crime than security in peasantry, so they HAVE had a step up,
no doubt. It COULD be better if they developed some more political options.

Well, you are lumping in the "moderate" Publicans with the Dems here. The
next election will be interesting, as they all are to me. I respect
Bradley, but cant abide his anti-gun positions. Algore is just a googoo from
the South. The only two Publicans I find much respect for are Steve Forbes
and Allen Keyes, but Keyes is too radical. McCain was implicated in the
"Keating Five" scandal and I know the Dems would rather run against him. If
Buchanon takes the Reform Party nomination, I dont know who I will vote for;
probably Libertarian.

No, but since the House re-elects its members every two years, that the

the majority of Americans, IMO.

"Should have one" is an often self-serving evaluation, and an integral part
of "spinning" the elections. A majority is still a majority. Were it not for
Perot, and his supporters like me, we would be looking at a President Dole
leading a Publican Congress into deep waters of Social Darwinism Light. You
Dems owe us Perotistas.

Honestly, I dont remember your original point now, lol. The counter-point I
was trying to make, was that the Publicans were just as cynical in their use
of the impeachment process as were the partisan Dems. That a number of
people I know personally predicted what happened EXACTLY based on the purely
political pov view of Senate Publicans illustrates how hypocrital the Senate
Publicans were and are.

I disagree. Once the Prosecuter brought the charges to the House, they had
a duty to carry out their roles. Other than the partisan cynicism, I am
glad that the Constitutional process was respected.

MT, please check your calendar. Clinton committed perjury while testifying
in the Paula Jones Suit and probably again in the grand jury investigation
of this initial perjury, and all of it was during his term. But the weight
of a perjury charge is relative, once again, to the gravity of the charges
being lied about, IIUIC.

If he were not President, he would be in jail right alongside his other
buddies, Hubbel and Tucker. He may still be prosecuted after he leaves
office. Besides, my personal opinion about what probably is true, is not
subject to legalistic reeds like that. If Clinton we on trial before me, I
would be much more careful, but as a matter of personal opinion I have more
range and I feel free to use it.

Pishaw! Reagan was an adorable, boyant optimist, who was suffering from

Nah, I showed it in a kalaidoscope of ways, but you wont let yourself see
it. The only reason that the Publicans are not as corrupt as the Dems is
because they are too stupid to get away with it for very long, but at least
that leaves them more honest! heheheh, I am actually enjoying the hell out
of this. When discussing the corruption of the major parties, I am in a
target-rich environment!

Were I to claim that an insult of my wife were offensive, yet showed no
emotion or intransigent opposition, my conduct would disprove my claims
implicitly. When Freedom is in jeopardy, the time for polite measures is
over, and resolute steps have to be implemented.
It is, and they are.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
YOU would!
The USSR was doomed to die a sudden-death from the start, no option.
It is no co-inky-dink that the USSR fell apart when the very first
post-revolution enlightened leader finally took the reigns once
all the old-school communist true-believers finally DIED!
The USSR lived only as long as the life-times of the original group
of true believers did.
Same will be true of Cuba, it will ONLY remain as it is untill
Castro dies.
Now I do give a little nod to John-Paul for Poland getting it's act
together early, but more to that little long-shoreman.
> Reagan's Star Wars programs pushed the Kremlin into bankruptcy,
Well, you got that one right, and NOW we Americans and the rest of the
world are PAYING the COST of a bankrupt Russia!
I call that a serious bit of severe dammage done by Reagan.
The financial pressure put on the USSR was utterly irrelevant DURING
the USSR and ONLY made a difference AFTER the collapse and we will
all be paying that bill for a few generation.

Well, more money would have helped a lot if not for the idiots in-charge
trying all these moronic experiments.
As far as schools are concerned I fall back on:
"If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it!"
The problem was that many idiots decided to "fix" what was NOT BROKEN
untill they "fixed" it.
For most of the bad shools in the 60s & 70s, money was indeed the cure,
if it had not been de-railed by all the experiments.

That is the same idiotic method of comparison as the gun-haters use

How many people have been killed by the mafia?

NOT the point of the Klan and NEVER was, they were about terror and

The point was that as a result of the idiotic witch-hunt against Clinton
the Reps LOST vital seats in Congress when they COULD have GAINED vital
seats instead.
That loss is what put Clinton in the position of being able to place
anti-gun laws on the agenda.

It should have been shut-down LONG BEFORE that point, and even when the
jud-comm got it, they shoudl have dropped it and taken the high-road
instead.
A good speech by Hyde would have shamed Clinton, put the whol mess behind
us AND would have won public favor to the point of WINNING seats
as a bonus.
Star should NEVER have been allowed to look at Clintons sex-life.

All of whic are horse-shit and should never been allowed to proceed

LOL!
If so then he will be soon, but he won't be, and he would NOT have been
then. He was ONLY pursued BECAUSE he was prez.

The "New-Deal" was not bad as an experiment, we just took it too far

Yeah, sure, a lot of un-lucky bastards doing what was common biz
and was only un-lucky because they had been touched by Clinton
who later became prez.
I don't consider that a bargain, especially when we consider the price
paid, NO not the money.

Anyone who fails to see how much damage he did and how long the world

I see that all your supposed differences fit both sides equally.

That is one you would have to prove, they are indeed as corrupt,
but they have different motives and slightly different methods,
but they are equally corrupt.

Uh, do I have to remind you he was an ACTOR????
That not only made him a "natural" liar, but a trained PROFESSIONAL at it!
