The Supreme Court Will Make the Right Decision

I have faith that the Supreme Court will affirm what every one already knows, that the right to bear arms is an INDIVIDUAL right and that the D.C. Gun Ban will purged forever. It's the only logical decision they can make. There really shouldn't even be an argument. The Bill of Rights was and is a list of rights that the individuals in American are entitled to, it is a cut and dry, and plainly stated. Liberal hacks who interpret the Second Amendment as being only granted to those in "militias" are completely dishonest. It is indisputable that the Founders hammered out the Bill of Rights for individuals.

The Supreme Court took up the Heller case and it's sparked a debate. With the typical Leftwing nuts and the MSM on one side and level headed Americans on the other side. Here's the Liberal argument:

Justice John Paul Stevens noted that Congress and all but two states had focused the "right to keep and bear arms" on the militia, not on personal self-defense. It was seen "as the right to keep and bear arms for the common defense," he said.

But the court's liberal bloc did not appear to have the votes to uphold the law.

Uh-huh. So in Liberal's minds the right to bear arms to defend from an over reaching Federal Government (the same kind, ironically, that they seek to create) is a right of a militia in an effort to fight off or overthrow said government. Say....that was done once before....I think that militia was for...the Confederacy. Interesting view, moonbats.

So besides the handgun ban in D.C., the lawyers for the city said, "hey, people can still OWN a gun" but......

He said the Washington law should be upheld because it allows homeowners to have a disassembled rifle or shotgun at home, even while it bans small handguns.

Ah yes, a disassembled rife will come in very handy during a home invasion. I mean, should a criminal bust in your home, with an illegally owned handgun, and is pointing a gun at you, rest assured, in that brief moment, you move with Superman-like quickness to assemble said rifle, load it, and defend yourself.

Utterly ridiculous. It looks like the non-retarded members of the SCOTUS will prevail though:

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who is the swing vote in close cases, said he believed the 2nd Amendment did more than bolster the state militia. "In my view, there is a general right to bear arms" that goes beyond serving in the militia, Kennedy said.

Most Americans believe the 2nd Amendment protects the right of law-abiding persons to "keep and bear arms." But the legal meaning of this provision remains in doubt. The high court has never invoked this right to strike down a gun law nor has it ruled that it protects a personal right to own a gun.

The left always goes off about how our rights are being taken from us when a Conservative movement in in control of any of the branches of government, but really, who assails our rights? The leftists are attempting to strip away the Second Amendment and the individual right that it grants us that is on equal footing to the First Amendment, as are the other components of the Constitution. I'm not going to make any bones about it, one area that was grossly abused by the Bush Administration was the illegal surveillance of American citizens on our own soil. The FISA argument is slightly different, as if we have a known terrorist calling into or out of the US, yes, we should be all over that. However, for intelligence gathering on US citizens, it is our right to have to have search warrants be granted before such action. The same can be said here.

The Second Amendment is an individual right that is granted to us by our Constitution, and here, we see the liberals once again assailing it. Think of their proposal for national health care. Does anyone not thing that giving the government full access to our medical records and telling us how and by what means we will receive care is not an erosion of our right? The government has no right to know our medical history and be able to dissect it. What then if a person had ever had mental health care administered? The government could easily strip them of their right to vote even if it was temporary or minor condition. We can not allow our individual rights to be usurped by a liberal populist movement who clouds their oppressive and Constitution eroding desires to be cloaked under the guise of "public good." We must recognize our rights, cherish them, and protect them at all costs.

On a lighter note, I was on the Communist News Network's (CNN) website and read a brief little update on the case much earlier in the day. Well, as always the morons at CNN didn't disappoint, and even brought a little ray of sunshine into my day:

Thirty-one states along with groups like the powerful National Rifle Association -- a gun rights lobby group -- support the gun owners. A handful of states such as Maryland, Massachusetts, Chicago, and San Francisco support Washington.

Classic leftist writings write there. First, they try to make the NRA seem like the boogeymen, which is entirely not true. Second, CNN makes sure that we know that the STATES OF CHICAGO AND SAN FRANCISCO are firmly against this. Proof read much? Or if they do, I wonder what it feels like knowing that the average first grader would have caught that major mistake. Gotta love the liberal media.

Michael Newdow, Much Like an STD, Just Won't Go Away

I make the comparison because the only thing worse than having to see this jackass's name in the news is about on the same level as being injected with an STD, and in all fairness, I would like to apologize to STDs everywhere for comparing them to Michael Newdow. Newdow, as you will recall, is the asshat who sued to stop the use of the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, amongst other things, and was shot down like a Democrat who strayed from their party's lines. Well he's at it again, the worthless troll just won't give up. However, there is a theme building for this post, the previous post, and the upcoming post, and that is: MAJORITY RULES. IT'S CALLED A DEMOCRACY YOU LIBTARDS! The majority of people do not object to the phrases, the majority of people APPROVE of the phrases. Hopefully, the SCOTUS will actually do the right thing here and step in and just put an end to the madness. It's also painfully apparent what this guy really wants as he always seems to pop up in the news right around Easter and/or Christmas. Beware the tyranny of the minority my friends. I'd also like to point out that the fact remains that we were and are a Christian nation, the Separation of Church and State is essentially a doctrine that was put in place to allow Chrisitian theologies to co-exist, such as the Puritans and Anglicans amongst other Protestant religions in the outset and evolved into including the other religions, Judaism, Buddhism, and my faith Catholicism (yes Christian, but very different from, say Lutheranism) to all co-exist within our nation. Liberals make such a huge fuss about intolerance but attack Christians and the phrase "God" as being offensive, but will put out all the stops to show how differences between Muslim groups should be highlighted and celebrated. The same affection they show to jihadists are not afforded to the law abiding citizens of our nation. Should a terrorist asshat blow themselves up in a crowd of innocent Jews or Christians it is because they are oppressed; should a Christian simply say "Merry Christmas," they are oppressing others. See how that works? So God Bless Michael Newdow, and if you have a problem with our money, don't use it. If you have a problem with our flag, don't salute it. In fact, if you have that much beef with our country, we can start a fund for you to go to some Godless nation like Cuba where your rights will dutifully be respected, especially the ones to due process and freedom of speech.
