3rd segment

Also read Post # 9- SNuss for insight to Obama’s evaluation of the 2nd Ammendment.
The “liberal agenda” (Obama’s) is clearly hostile to 2nd Ammendment rights, regardless of any denials (see Post # 14-SNuss).
So we return again to the point of my post, after responding to your tangential remarks: there is no paranoia where there is a rational basis for a perceived danger.

P.S.
Did you display paranoia as defined in Pat C’s Post # 11,
“excessive or irrational suspiciousness (sic) and distrustful
(sic) of others”, in characterizing my evaluation of Obama’s
view of the Constitution as some sort of groundless fiction,
dreamed up by a Bush/Cheney supporter?

2nd segment

I do not suggest that you read the Bill of Rights. Your suggestion that I do so indicates (among other things) that you probably have
knowledge of, and respect for, our individual rights recognized in the
first 10 ammendments.
I do however, strongly suggest that you read Obama’s commentary on our rights in “The Audacity of Hope”. Pay particular attention to what he omits.

Tech problems — will try post in 3 segments
Craig K.: Where did I get “that gem” about Obama’s Views of the “flawed Constitution? Let’s see — Oh yeah! –I got it from Obama.
He is on tape lamenting that the the Constitution only restricts the power of governments over the people, and doesn’t say what the government “must do on your behalf”.
He does say that the Constitution ” *was* a remarkable political
document that paved the way for where we are now”, to damn an obsolete artifact with faint praise.
On what basis do you assume I am a supporter of Bush or Cheney?
Do you think that because I attack Obama’s views that I should
defend Bush, Cheney, or anyone else?
Do you think it possible that I might have equal contempt for all of them?

Pat C./SNuss: Thank you in advance for the content in your posts. I intend to cite them in a future post of mine.

“Obama has little respect for our “flawed” Constitutution…” Nice try Jake. But it won’t work. Where did you get that gem from? Did you forget it was Bush and Cheney who regarded the Constitution as a “guideline” instead of being the basis for our government and legal system? Did you forget that it was Cheney who claimed powers that didn’t exist? And it was Bush who handled bills passed by Congress in methods that don’t legally exist? If that isn’t disrespect for the Constitution, I don’t know what is. And if you want to see the “liberal agenda” in print, I suggest you read the Bill of Rights sometime. It’s all right there.

Paranoid: What a Liberal calls a Conservative who knows the Liberal agenda.

trying again — Is it paranoia to recognize a danger based on observable (and historically observed) actions and expressed opinions which illustrate that danger?
Obama has little respect for our “flawed” Constitutution, which fails
(in his opinion) to charge the government with responsibilities to actively provide benefits to the people. This is not the purpose of government, as described in the Constution. The People were to remain free of government interference as they chose their own happiness to pursue.
Obama’s lack of respect for the 2nd ammendment was evident to me when he ommited it in comments on the bill of rights in “The Audacity of Hope”. He will pretend to support the right to bear arms, but he hates and fears it.

“So, yeah, some gun nuts are paranoid.” As are some Liberal commentators. Or maybe they are just psychotic.

“Obama has disavowed such intentions. ” When it helped his campaign to say so. He also said “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother” about Rev. Wright. How many more days passed before Obama threw HIM under the bus? Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words.

The news media doesn’t understand what is happening. Just trying to blame the election of Obama for the run on guns.
I think the real reason is because there are many blogs saying that we may have a financial collapse as in post WWI Germany or Argentina. They are saying if that happens the best investment right now is guns and ammo. That will be the only way to survive if that happens.
Not my opinion but there are many who believe it is inevitable now. The debt has gone past the tipping point. Bankruptcy of the USA looms.

This issue is a complete non-issue. Gun ownership is so far down on Obama\’s priority list, it wouldn\’t come up if he served four terms as President. At the federal level, it would rank just above gay marraige. It\’s always brought up during presidential elections by conservatives and it\’s never an issue for a sitting President.
