Dr. Condoleezza Rice's view of gun rights.

Status
Not open for further replies.
During the bombings of the summer of 1963, her father and other neighborhood men guarded the streets at night to keep white vigilantes at bay. Rice said her staunch defense of gun rights comes from those days. She has argued that if the guns her father and neighbors carried had been registered, they could have been confiscated by the authorities, leaving the black community defenseless.

Very intresting. She gets a thumbs up from me.

As Secretary of State, she'll have no impact on the issue either way.
 
Question that might be asked is as follows, or could be.

Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter, in this case "Rockette"? Frankly, I doot know, though time will likely tell.
 
These are really intersesting times we live in

We have a pro-gun, black, republican, woman, who has some political clout and I can see actually having somewhat of a chance at the Whitehouse in a forseeable future. Not necessarily in '08, unless she participates in something big that gets her even more notoriety. I can see her running eventually with moderate to huge success. I have alot of respect for this woman and I think with her, stereotypes and certain flawed views will be exposed and wither in the light of day. I like her can you tell? :D

It's been reported that she has a very close relationship with Bush - so it's possible her views on this subject could influence him.
 
Rick is right.

She is, from what I have heard, Bush's closest advisor.

Honestly, I have a feeling that Cheney is going to resign in a couple years, if things are going well for Bush's 2nd term, and Condi will replace him, so that she will be in a good position for '08.

Just my prediction, if things go well in the next two years.

I've sent this link to several friends to check out. Rice is about to turn 50 years old and she has a better resume that me and everybody I know put together! How did one woman squeeze so much education and work history into such a short life?! I guess it is true that she is a "workaholic."

Check it out but be prepared to feel inadequate!

Re: Dr. Rice -

She has a "handy for us" attitude when the UN's global gun-grab is presented within the next two years.

A point: I'm starting a small campaign to see her referred to as Dr. Rice. How many references to "Hank" Kissinger have you ever read in the liberal press or heard on the TV News?

For a person who has earned a PhD and is going to be Secretary of State, using a cute nickname seems something of a put-down.

JMHO,

Thank you GreyBear,
Dr. Rice it should be. I believe she is due that courtesy.

From what I have seen, we should go out of our way to support the lady.
I think she is good for the country. He childhood and family experiences seem to have left her with a proper orientation and her influence on President Bush should be very positive in that regard.

Wow, interesting theory. That would leave her very well positioned to run in 2008.

Dr. Rice's Qualifications

With all the acedemic qualifications she has, together with her political savvy, she's also a baseball fan. What more could America ask?

A Rumsfeld/Rice ticket would be a dream come true. Islamists would just give up and kill themselves on the spot. Poor lefties would flee to Greenwich Village and rich ones would bee-line it to their therapists offices.

I can just see the board members of the NAACP going into apoplectic shock trying to wrap their brains around that one until their heads explode like that guy in Scanners.

Imagine the news conferences. Happy happy, joy joy! :)

The GOP of Powell And Rice


http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- IN A PLEASANTLY meandering conversation over lunch in San Francisco last summer, Condoleezza Rice, then still provost of Stanford but already unofficially what she now is officially, George W. Bush's senior foreign policy adviser, was asked her thoughts about gun control. "I am," she answered crisply, "a Second Amendment absolutist." Growing up in Birmingham, Ala., in the early 1960s, when racial tensions rose, there were, she said, occasions when the black community had to exercise its right to bear arms in self-defense, becoming, if you will, a well-regulated militia.
 
Rumi/Rice.....Rice/Rumi.....it's enough to make me leave the Constitution Party and go Republican again.

After hearing the Bushs loose their minds in Birmingham today I'm bout to agree with the Dems. We do need regime change, just not in the direction the Dems are hoping for.


S-
 
Dr Rice would get my vote. She may be the only one who could beat Hillary. The liberal media has already started in on her. She is a big threat to the Democratic Party base. Imagine, making wise personal decisions, getting and education and improving your lot in life without relying on the government - and all that as a female minority! That is definitely a threat to the Dems.
