Wow you are truly ignorant. Just completely clueless. You haven't studied this issue at all. You have no idea what the founding father's intended and your comment about right wingers as vigilantes is baseless. Your comment about animal killing is just childish. You sound like a 12 year old girl. Your statement that everyone was conscripted is just wrong. Stop embarrassing yourself!
Who can name everything in the Bill of Rights off of the top of their head? Not many. Does this mean that they are not important? Of course not! So anybody who says that the 10 Commandments must not be important because the guy championing them can't recite them doesn't have a logical brain cell in their head! But hey that's most liberals for you...
@MrFreeLibertarian Anyone who ADVOCATES for and yet can't remember a few simple rules, commandments or amendments has NO braincells left working and is a fraud, that was the whole point. If you don't remember them all don't pretend you are an authority figure advocating for them: you don't even know them for chrissake!
@madashelldude Do you think the Bill of Rights is important? I would think that you would say yes. In other words, you are a champion of sorts of the Bill of Rights. Now, can you recite them? Probably not. So does this mean that since you champion the Bill of Rights yet you cannot recite them means that you have NO brain cells? Are you starting to understand my point? Just think about it. Are you willing to hold yourself up to the standard you are using for this guy? Doubt it.
@MrFreeLibertarian Of course I would probably have a problem citing the 27th amendment on Congressional Salaries, but when I have an opinion about something I sure can. For instance I often argue with folks who think they understand the 2nd amendment. Most of the time conservatives/libertarians who advocate 4 it turns out have no clue about the 2nd amendment, they can't even paraphrase it 90% of the time, and when they can they have no clue about the original intent and historic context.
@madashelldude OK so you agree with my point! So maybe your quarrel is with the messenger and not the message and that's fair enough, but I get the impression that most of the folks commenting about Mr. Westmoreland are really arguing against his message regarding the 10 commandments, but just won't come out and say so. As for the 2nd amendment, the right of the people to keep and bear arms seems easy to understand. The Supreme Court seems to think so also.
@MrFreeLibertarian I'd like to remind you that the Supreme Court also believed at one time that it's fair to own another human being and use "it" as a farm implement. That doesn't change the fact that the 2nd amendment clearly states that in order to defend the free elected government of the USA citizens had the OBLIGATION to participate in a WELL REGULATED militia and to do so they had the right to bear arms. The obligatory nature of the law is established in the 1792 Militia Act.
@madashelldude LOL Yes I'm quite sure that you know far more about the 2nd amendment than the majority of the Sureme Court justices! Maybe you should have argued the case in front of them? Oh well...what could have been...but we can dream can't we?
@MrFreeLibertarian Usually what I get from conservatives is a typical spoiled brat type of world view according to which the 2nd amendment is to establish their right to play vigilante on the street or to own a gun collection or to kill defenseless animals. It establishes a right that's connected to clear duties of defending the elected government of the USA: everyone between 18-40 were CONSCRIPTED in the militia. The same is true about free markets and capitalism: right wingers don't get it.
To Ballasog: for somebody who claims to be able to recite at least 9 of the 10 Commandements, you sure seem to be against displaying them. I wonder why?
As for Black Water, they are a fine group of Americans!
Go Westmoreland! Keep voting against Socialism! Keep voting against wasteful spending and earmarks! Keep voting against corporate and personal welfare!
You can all bash Westmoreland. However he makes a good point on what the democratic's true agenda is with the meeting. This was made to be nothing more than a (R) party bashing by the democratic side. Furthermore if any of you do your homework those lawyers he referenced are the same lawyers that defended the terrorist after the 1993 world trade center bombing. And they affiliate with the democrates?
This guy pushed for some Ten Commandments display bill, and then was on Stephen Colbert and couldn't name but 4 of them.
His press guy said that nobody but a clergyman could name them all right off the top of their head, or something like that, but I tested myself today and got them all, I jotted down 9 of them right away and the other after a minute.
I think Westmoreland is maybe THE most retarded and hypocritical Republican in Congress, a title for which there is fierce competition.
Right, and supposedly only clergymen can be trusted not to covet one's neighbor's wife...'cause us ordinary folk don't even know the word "covet", and of course all people who haven't heard the list at Sunday mass must be killers. I think the 1 you missed was "though shalt have a narrow stance in the men's room"...it's an obscure one, it's understandable if you missed it.
