Make no mistake: His totalitarian position, and that’s exactly what it is, is “Surrender and obey or be destroyed.” His sick ego invites civil war and untold deaths unless his demands are met. [More]
As long as it’s somebody else taking the risks of enforcing the tyranny he demands…
Civil war? I can live with that. Just as long as somebody kills his fat ass first.
I am sure that he is on more than one list.
“… As Impossible As It Is Evil.”
And as ineffective. Not to mention a source of “trouble” for FedGov going forward.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” — Declaration of Independence
Note that Jefferson mentions replacing a government that does not safeguard the rights of the people, not just as a duty, but as a right. He doesn’t mention it once in that paragraph. He mentions it twice just for emphasis.
People pick over the use, by the founders of the phrase “the people” and mostly agree it is a term of art used to describe the population, individually and collectively. They believe that the folks who debated every phrase put into our founding documents, sometimes for days on end, didn’t just pick random words out of thin air.
When they said “right”, they meant one of those inalienable natural rights endowed by the creator.
Mike Vanderboegh often pointed out that the system of rules laid out in “The Constitution of the United States” protects government officials from We the People as much as it protects us from them.
Tread lightly around the Second Amendment, Mr. Moore
This numbskull can succeedin his fairy-tale quest and actually GET the Second Articleof Ammendment “repealed” on paper, but he will still have an insurmountable problem he can never solve:
this RIGHT is given us permanently by the same God who gave us life. The RIGHT to defend/protect my life is included as a part of that life. And Moore and his mooronic plan can never change God’s plan. A fool’s errand, for sure.
