(1,867 posts)Why is it you can tell people that its OK to want to strip one right away but not another. These are the FUNDAMENTAL rights of our nation, they are what MAKES US Americans, so ya, if you don't like it, find someplace where the fundamental rights are different because i refuse to give this one up because you are scared.
This isn't Bush saying "love it or leave it" this is a fellow American saying YOU CAN'T TAKE MY RIGHTS!
I would say that about speech, religion, press, trial by jury, habeus corpus, ALL OF IT! If you don't like that we have these rights, then get out now, because this country is never going to be the gun free utopia you desire, it will never even be close. Its not that I don't want you here, it's that you oppose what IS America, so obviously you don't want to be here.
And how am *I* a danger to you, because I am expressing my first amendment right to defend the second amendment? I assert that we have more to fear from you, its people like you that let the Nazi's take over Germany because "its safer without those rights" and without those people.
Tyranny is not imaginary, you have just convinced yourself of that because you don't want to face the fact that the situation deteriorates in this country more and more every year and if we keep letting it go the way its going not only will we loose all of our rights, but we will be left with no way to get them back.
All of the things everyone on this board (including myself) complained about during the Bush admin, then mysteriously STOPPED complaining about when Obama was elected (despite the fact that NOTHING changed) are the hallmarks of impending tyranny. We even CALLED IT THAT during the Bush admin, but now, somehow, the same policies are acceptable. Someday, when all our rights are stripped and we are corporate slaves, you will ask yourself why we left ourselves with no way to restore freedom and liberty.
