Since I check the anti gunner's websites at least weekly, I've been able to notice a disturbing shift in their confidence level. They know that bush is obliterating the credibility of the republican party and is on the defensive around the clock.
You're linking too many topics in a simple pair of sentences.
If the anti-Second Amendment bigots sound more confident, it's probably because they're hiring more skillful public relations writers. They've lost two skirmishes in recent memorythe so-called "assault weapons" ban was allowed to sunset, and the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Firearms Act was finally passedand may well have learned the obvious lesson: it's always worthwhile to present a set of messages that look intelligent rather than hysterical. Frankly, I've never understood why the leftist extremists invariably screech and shrill instead of trying to seem reasonable. Little Joe Lieberman tries to seem reasonable sometimes, but realistically speaking, that unprincipled little nitwit could bore rocks to tears.
Bush isn't obliterating the Republican party's credibility all by himself. He and virtually all the Republicans in Congress are doing a very effective job of persuading America their party stands for nothing, does nothing, spends money like a drunken sailor, and lives in terror of the representatives of the Democratic (sic) party. The Republicans are the majority party in name only. They're wimps. They're chit-chatters. They're double-talkers.
My personal believe is that we ought to break up both the Republicrat and Democan parties. Instead of flip sides of the same worthless coin, we ought to do as the automobile industry has done: break into numerous fiercely competitive camps and slug it out hard and fast for votes. I'd like to see a minimum of four or five, preferably six or eight clearly defined, seriously contentious political parties vying for my vote, dollars, and loyalty. We need competition, not more of the same old same old.
If the Republican party is the first to be broken up, so be it. If the Democratic (sic) party is first, so be it. We're never going to have a real multi-party political system as long as we're stuck with the same old bunch of dunces.
Bush is, indeed, on the defensive around the clock, as are nearly all the rest of the Republicans in Congress. They have much to be defensive about; unfortunately, their behavior has been indefensible.
Break 'em up. Kick 'em out. Let's get the show on the road.
By the way, I'm entirely sure if we had multiple political parties, the leftist extremists and their so-called "gun control" schemes wouldn't stand the chance of a snow ball in hell: they actually do constitute an
extremely small percentage of Americans of voting age. They're very well funded and have powerful allies in the so-called "news" media; in a free and open market of ideas, however, they'd end up sitting in the far back left corner with the Vegan Party, the National Alliance of Lesbian Vegetarian Jews for Jesus, and the Ku Klux Klan. They're a menace to the nation only because the Democratic (sic) party is susceptible to the machinations of the nut case extreme left. If we ever force them to stand on their own feet, all seventeen of them are going to look awfully lonely.
In closing, let me share a hunch with you, please: if I were a wagering man, I'd bet the cost of a week's groceries at least 80% of the hits at anti-Second Amendment bigotry web sites are from Second Amendment supporters keeping an eye on the leftist extremists.
