No, Washington could never win an election today...

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people�s liberty teeth and keystone under independence. From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference�they deserve a place of honor with all that's good. - George Washington, January 7, 1790

Absolutely not. If the people are armed and the federalists do not know where the arms are, there can never be an oppressive government. - George Washington in response to a proposal on firearm registration

Did ANYBODY see that I was joking with the Hoover and Roosevelt stuff?

Bah... Except that J.Edgar was already director of the FBI 5 years before Herbert was even elected.

Just like guns work for the Swiss, and yet there were those cultural differences you kept bringing up...

Washington? He was a successful general and commanded the presence of any room he entered. He would have a solid chance---expect that he railed against the two party system and didn't believe that it would be good for America, so he would probably lose because he wouldn't have a money-machine behind him. then again, if we had some real campaign finance laws, he'd be in like Flynt (or is it just Flynn.. I can never remember)

Flint (James Coburn is cool). No, Washington wouldn't stand a chance. The new media would crucify him.

quote:
...and this political post is serious, unlike my previeous few (paying attention Volcano? )

Many a true thought has been spoken in jest.

quote:
...and now that I'm being serious---anybody who calls Roosevelt a dictator and isn't being wildly hilarious (as I am ) needs a swift kick to the head.

Maybe these violent tendencies explain your fear of guns. No wait, we did that one already.

It was difficult to tell. You're a liberal wacko, so it's entirely plausible that you'd think Roosevelt was a conservative.

I was joking too. I just wanted to point out that you might be getting your Hoovers mixed up. Unless you are really talking about the founder of Hover Vacumns, then I whole-heartedly agree with you.

I broke the record! I broke the record. I broke the record, hey hey, hey hey!

Probably not. Crucifixion is old hat. Besides, he'd look goofy on a cross, stripped down to his knickers.

And then the NRA would claim resurrection, the head honcho would profess infallibility, and gun-lovers everywhere would start one hell of a holy war against the pacific heretics. Wanna bet who'd win, Diet R. Bohn?

What's with the Diet R. stuff? odd...

Are you threatening me? I am the great Cornholio!

...I still think America should just split into 3-4 separate nations, then all you hunyucks can move down the confederacy and leave us peaceful Nordic Folk Alone.

1) CaliforNation: (California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii)
2) NuthinButRocksAndStrippers: (Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Nebrasa, Dakotas, etc.)
3) KitschLand: (Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, 1/2 of Indiana, Ohio, etc.)
4) HipLand: (New England)
5) The Confederate States of the Klan: (The Confederacy)

yep.

You still don't get it. The point isn't 'assault rifles'. The point is freedom from fascistic control. I'd make the same arguments for homosexuality, pr0n, or marijuana (even though I have no use for those). If you city rats want to outlaw guns and just gnaw each other to death in your overcrowded cages, go right ahead. Just don't try to dictate your 'liberal' moral superiority to us 'Klan confederates'.

Umm...maybe it's a lighthearted reference to the Diet Rich Bohn thread?

You 'peaceful' 'Nordic Folk' didn't seem to like it the last time the southern states tried that, though.

Yep. And you had the nerve to be offended by an obviously sarcastic point about Arabs.

Posted by septimus on 01-27-2002 07:01 PM:

I get it, I've always gotten it. I just think it's inane to think that guns aren't special cases.

re: Klan. Sorry....

...although...

ah, **** it. nevermind.

Somehow it doesn't seem that way.

They were a special case in the eyes of the guys that founded the system of government which you claim to like, only not in the way that you'd like. Rejecting that is functionally rejecting the ideals upon which the government was founded (not that there's anything wrong with that per se).

quote:

I actually respect that tack less than outright saying what the 'although' would have prefaced. At least then I'd know where I stand. If you think that I have anything remotely in common with the Klan, that'd at least be worth a laugh.

How.. Many.. Times.. does a guy have to say it? I made a MISTAKE. Let it die, please, let it die.

Of all people dietrichbohn, I figured for sure you would have gotten D-R's reference to that thread.

If this thread has taught us anything, it's that nothing will ever be allowed to quietly die.

Well, give me some credit I guess. It's possible to fully understand an argument yet reasonably reject it without being able to articulate it (in this format, at least).

Well, I reject some of the ideals the gov't was founded on--we all do... it's possible to do that without wanting to tear the whole goddamn thing down...

...and the **** it was more my inability to articulate a joke than the hiding of one...

rah rah sis boom bah.

What the hell. why doesn't somebody just kidnap Marshall Faulk for the next week or so--don't hurt him, just put him up in a cozy little resort town and let the superbowl just pass him by. Might help even the score. I'm sick and tired of the Rams.

Why? We all know the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl. I predict that the score will be 27-17 Rams.

And even if Marshall Faulk couldn't play, the Rams would still win.
