Far be it from me to post my content on a site that would play pimp for the bastards at moveon.org on top of having a crappy community filled with whores of all shapes and sizes, poor navigation, inherently flawed base layouts, and overall dissatisfying user experience. A well-deserved "sod off" to myspace.
For those of you reading on the mirrors that do not have "myspace" in the domain name, in other news Ambassador John Bolton has apparently taken to his new job like a fish to water. Best of luck being a thorn in the side of the UN, John! It's all we can ask that you look out for the United States above all in your duties. After all, you're the US ambassador to the UN, not the UN ambassador to the US.
In other news, I began working on an article a while back but seem to have lost it. It concerns gun control. I may or may not rewrite it. Basically, what it comes down to is that there are a lot of anti-citizen Democrats and a few co-conspirator Republicans working against your right to defend yourself, and Ron Paul wants to protect and restore your Second Amendment rights (H. R. 1703). I am sure this shocks none of you. If there is a sufficient desire to read about it, I will go ahead and research it again and write about it. As far as I am personally concerned, I found out what I wanted to know and none of it was contrary to what I expected to find. So if you like your right to bear arms, don't elect people who want to take away that right. It seems pretty self-explanatory.
For those who want names, here are the names of those who wish to reinstate the 1994 "assault weapons" ban that had absolutely nothing to do with assault weapons. I recommend voting every last one out of office.
Bill: S.620

Along with that, here is another related Senatorial bill aimed at taking away your right to bear arms, this one with the highly misleading title of "A bill to reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act." Somebody needs to slap around all these people who come up with misleading bill titles like that. This one is entirely Democrat-sponsored.

So feel free to vote the folks listed on the above sponsor list out of office, and encourage your congressmen and senators to support Ron Paul's bill. Pardon the disjointed nature of this entry, I have a cold and a slight fever. Otherwise I would probably feel ambitious enough to make a whole worthwhile post. While I normally prefer to be able to post contrasting bills, the only people who seem to be trying to change any gun laws appear to be anti-gun folks. So there it is, for now at any rate.
