Perhaps the schools are getting too liberal in their reading material . .

there is no public saftey concerns relating to the 2nd amendment....only liberals looking for ways to disarm the american population so they can stuff socialism down everyones throats by force.

When did the last nuclear warhead load and fire itself?

Let's give every American a nuclear warhead. After all, nuclear weapons are not a problem, people are....

Indeed, tis true. I caught a bit of Bowling for Columbine the other night. He appeals to people with poor critical thinking skills and the zealots that are so involved with the cause they don't care about anything else.

missed the whole point of the movie

Actually I missed the whole movie. I was just flipping through the channels and hit the bit where he is using two kids that were shot to shame KMart into not selling bullets. I just love his, "at KMart where they sell 9mm bullets for 50 cents each" with this mixture of shock and sadness. Oh the humanity! 50 cent bullets at KMart. Ooooooh

Anyway I want to watch the film when I get a chance.

Well, nice to know that you haven't even seen the movie but know who it appeals to. Those "poor crtitical thinking skills" folks.

Read what I wrote. I was referring to Moore not the movie. I saw 9/11 and it doesn't exactly take an extended period of time watching this guy to know his tactics and his audience.

No liberal needs to have the right to spout off about everything they feel like...lets toss them in jail for doing so....after all they don't really need to be doing that now either

And did you ever notice how the people like that fat slob M Moore who are so quick to argue denying people their constitutional rights try so hard to hide behind "Their" so called rights.....

Personally I advocate open hunting season on all the anti gun nuts in the country...PARTICULARLY the ones who are so vocal about their "rights" to free speach....

They should be the first to lose those rights since they are so cavalier about the other rights people have.

And personally I wish they would try to take my guns from me personally...I would relish having them in my sights like a deer.

The public safety concern is right there in the text of the Amendment: "A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The Ted Nugent crowd likes to ignore the "well-regulated" part, but even if we re-right the Amendment to delete that part, it does not say that people have the right to own whatever weapons they want or that the government isn't allowed to keep track of certain types of weapons.

I don't have a strong feeling either way about gun control. On one hand, guns are sufficiently dangerous that I would expect them to be regulated. On the other hand, I want the government to stay away from me. That libertarian side of me has become much stronger since 2000. The people running the show now are downright creepy and can't be trusted as far as you can throw them.

Nowhere does it give liberals the right to be and say anti-american things either...


It is real clear about the publics right to keep and bear arms however......and only a liberal will try to twist those words to mean something never intended by the founding fathers...and no liberal who has the balls to argue for gun control has the right to call themselves an american. And yes I do have very strong feeling on my second amendment rights as no liberal in office can be trusted with public saftey after 8 years of Clinton and the anti american activities the DNC and the ACLU have been guilty of

I cannot imagine myself creating such a list. It seems rather pointless but some of the entries are especially confounding e.g. Kinsey and Keynes.

Democracy and Education
"he disparaged schooling that focused on traditional character development and endowing children with hard knowledge, and encouraged the teaching of thinking “skills” instead."

OMG

I thought that was the purpose of the First Amendment, to be able to say whatever you want, so long as it doesn't incite violence, slander people, and maybe a few other limited exceptions. The First Amendment is not absolute, but if the Amendment protects anything, it is the right to say that America is screwing up and needs to change. What am I missing here?

What have guns to do with books? Is someone going to shoot the books?
