MHBushmaster,
I'm a liberal. I believe in a woman's right to choose, am a Buddhist, believe that government has a role in securing an environment for capitalism to thrive, believe that government-funded preventative healthcare is not a bad thing, am against the war in Iraq, am a believer in preserving the environment and alternative energy,
...and think that I should be able to buy RPGs, suppressors, machineguns, handguns, grenades, assault rifles, and other squad-level equipment as Title I with a simple background check at my local gun store.
How does that sit with you?
It sits with me like this: not going down the road of right to life or choice. Buddhist=glad you have religion. You believe that that gov has a role in securing an environment for capitalism to thrive: how about letting up on over burdening restrictions that put a cap on captialism. Or all the gov restricitons and red tape about how you have to give such and such to so and so because the gov wants you to run your business that way, if you really beleived in capitalism, you would realize the gov doesnt need to stick its greedy hands into securing an evnironment: I think manifest destiny of the governemnt a few years back took care of that. And gov funded health care is gonna be the biggest, most expensive expenditure to date, making the cost of the war in Iraq look like chump change, take a look at Canda-land, and ask yourself, why are Canadians coming to this country to get timely medical procedures done? And why should I pay for your wart removal or someone else's 5th father less baby? I dont freaking care about your warts or whoevers baby. And preserving the environment, I don't think we should be dumping our toilets into our rivers and streams nor just letting toxic wast just sit in our neighborhoods, but on the other hand, how much more green are we really going to get? Do you realistically see us driving battery cars? This is America, where bigger is better. If their really is a problem, let the capitalism theory work itself out, if gas gets so freaking expensive, then according to capitalism, businesses and ingenuity will solve the perceived problem and folks will flock to eco cars and other forms to escape the gas prices. And please don't sholve the whole: we will run out of oil in a few years or the earth is gonna cook due to global warming, blah blah...incovnient truth, blah blah...That is cheap science at its worst. We have NO FREAKING CLUE as to how the earth's cycles of median temperature really is, I mean, we have been recording the temp for what, maybe 200 years, tops, for reliable information to work off of, and the world is how old? and how many ice ages have their been (I'm sure this had nothing to do with man kind ruining mother nature) and the whole shifting of the continents and all that other science that is CONVIENENTLY overlooked. I love listening to the chicken littles of the media drone on about how we have to save the whales and not use fossil fuels blah blah yet they drive home in a car, use electricity and go to the grocery store all things that require exactly what they are saying is wrong and wastefull.
But that is neither here nor there, the real and only fact of this whole thing is that liberals are apart of the gun control culture, you have to choose your principles, because it is highly hypocritical to say you want us all to be able to buy machine guns, and the like (I totally agree) but say you ascribe to the liberal agenda which includes in the top 5 or top 3 things: GUN CONTROL.
Your either with us or against us. Their is no middle ground, their is no reasonable gun control, because it is all about control, and has nothing to do with guns except the end result of banning them.
