Teeth of the Constitution

"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The Second Amendment is arguably the most important: it is the "teeth" of our Constitution.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

    Slightly (?) Inactive, but Not Totally Abandoned...

    It has been a while since I posted on this blog, but it isn't for lack of things to write about. Partly it is a priority issue - there are things I'd rather be doing, and party it has to do with a feeling of defeat: no matter what I wrote, things kept getting worse. It seems our wonderful politicians are bound and determined to do everything they can to screw us and keep themselves in power.

    Feingold with his free speech limiting Campaign Finance Reform, who is now wanting to regulate the internet. Justices taking away private property under eminent domain to give to private developers, the allowing of millions of foreigners to enter the country illegally, then stay here with all the benefits of citizens and legal immigrants, the left trying to take away our Second Amendment rights... The list goes on.

    Anyway, I may not be making much of a difference, but I figured that giving up would imply defeat, and the last thing I want to do is let the liberal left take over this country.

    That said, I will make an effort to post at least once a week, and if anyone reads it, great! If not, at least I'll know I didn't give up.

    All for now. Check back later for a more substantial post...

    Hi Paul...You can be sure that if I ever leave a comment, I'll always sign my name. So, are you gonna start posting more often?

    By the way, the above comment is probably from M.E.....since she quit blogging she probably has way too much time on her hands!

    Take care!
