Hi There, You Confederate-Flag-Waving Rednecks!

....Now, now. now----before you start screaming in fury, you must realize that (A) As a beiever in firearms ownership, I'm one too, and (B) It's not me who's calling you this, but that delightful Dem, Howard Dean.
Seems that ol' Howie told an Iowa newspaper Saturday that he wanted "to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks" because he's (allegedly) been opposed to some---and I emphasize the word SOME---gun-control legislation.
Does he REALLY give a rat's a** about the Second Amendment? Well, YOU be the judge, provided you can all put down your Stars and Bars flags long enough:
"I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross section of Democrats."
And later, this paragon of political honesty goes on to say:
"My position on guns has nothing to do with appealing to groups. My position on guns was put together because I live in a rural state."
So....You want to sound like you're pro-gun in order to appeal to a broader cross-section of Dems, but your stance on guns has NOTHING to do with appealing to anybody, izzat it, Howie? How believable of you to say so. I'm sure you've convinced many, if not most of the Confederate-flag-waving, pickup-driving, gun-totin' yayhoos that frequent discussion groups like this one. And I'm equally certain that the fact that it's election time---and that the assault-weapon ban/extension is a hot-button topic for many gun-owners---has NOTHING to do with how your "position" on guns was "put together" (which, given your ultra-left-wing beliefs, is an eerily apt way of describing the situation, a'la Victor Frankenstein.) Nevertheless, I'm sure your words have convinced many here of your good intentions and sincerity.....
....Right, fellas?
Let's have a show of hands here: How many gun-owners here ACTUALLY think Howie Dean really, TRULY gives a tin crap about the Second-Amendment rights of us commoners?
Unless someone can show me a Dean voting record unambiguously showing SOLID, UNWAVERING support of gun-rights throughout his political career, I'd have to say: Not me.

NO, REPEAT NO, Democrat is pro-Second Amendment. Heck, it's getting harder and harder to find a pro-2nd Republican. Dean's idea of letting each state decide it's own gun policies sounds good, but he believes in doing that only after letting the Feds pass a certain number of Federal laws, so we still lose.
I like Dean better than I like Generalissimo Clark, but of course I would vote for Gary Coleman before I would Wes Clark. That man's ideas sound like something straight out of Josef Stalin's playbook.
Like it or not, our best bet for 2004 is Bush, unless a strong third party candidate materializes. Here's hoping that we can get the job done in Iraq way before then and get our people home.
No shame in being a redneck. And no, everybody in the South isn't a redneck, and not all rednecks are from the South.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

Unlike the original Klinton, she will do everything in her power to destroy this once-great country. She's in it because she's a true believer... and it doesn't hurt when you're addicted to the public attention.. The original Klinton was just in it for the ummmm 'access' to the native prostitutes...(does anybody really believe Monica wasn't trying to make a name for herself?) er highly qualified interns.
But to answer the question...NO! No Demokrat will ever, ever get a vote from me unless he not only supports my right to own hunting rifles, but my right to own handguns, assault rifles and machineguns.
Dean is just scared of becoming another Al Gore.
Along time ago some texans were loaned a flag by the mexican government of that time. The government sent a courier to request that it be returned. The texans answer was a canon fired and a flag raised that said come and take it.
www.sevenbros.com has the flags. and gadsen and culpepper and the first navy jack and more.

Oh, and while we're at it, let's not forget what ostensibly "started" it all: America's version of the Reichstag Fire, the World Trade Center/Pentagon 9-11 "attacks", where, by Jiminy, the airliner black boxes don't survive, but paper passports sure do...Especially if they belong to Middle East terrorists who don't even show up on boarding-area surveillance videos. And let's not forget Kerosene, the Miracle Jet Fuel which burns at only a bit above 800 deg. C, yet manages to burn hot enough with all the flame-retardant office materials present to soften structural steel at 2000 deg. C plus, enabling a jet plane (stuck in the SIDE of a high-rise building like a dart) to cause a huge building to collapse in a perfect, almost seemingly controlled straight-down fashion with nary a tilt to said weakened side...Just like any number of professionally-done building demolitions we've seen on amazing-home-video shows like "You've Gotta See This". Mirable Dictu! What an age we live in---it sure is good to know we live in a country with an honest Government to protect us from such engineering-proficient terrorists, eh, boys and girls? Nothing wrong here, is there? No indeedy.
Nope. Nosir. We'uns is jest a bunch of gun-totin', Cornfedderit-flag wavin' idjits who work for a living so's we can have part of our wages confiscated by Uncle Scam so he can keep the wheels of Free and Open Gubbermint turning, making up more and new and more asinine laws to keep us all in line, promising us hayseed dorks that we can keep our shootin' irons as long as we get Caesar's royal approval by REGISTERING some kinds...and as long as Caesar doesn't feel that they're the "wrong kind" for us bush-monkeys to own, like full-auto rifles, and---eventually---unneccessary things like semi-auto shotguns, and semi-auto rifles like M1 Garands. After all, that much firepower is a threat to Government, so you can see why it all has to go, right? Right.
Yeppers, life is good here in the Land of The Farcically Free and Home Of The Restricted. Makes me want to snap my Cornfedderit Stars 'n Bars galluses with pride, livin' in sech a liberty-conscious and Constitutional Republic. Don't y'all feel the same way?
Yes, I'm angry, I'm p*ssed, I'm in a sarcastic mood yet again.
But I have to ventillate once in a while...
Nice post, nothing like the true with all the BS cut out!! Keep it up. I for one am kinda fond of the truth, just makes life a little more black and white. Thanks.
Imagine that---burning kerosene and office wreckage manage to heat structural-steel beams up to the point where they soften sufficiently to cause collapse, yet all you see in the videos is this little black plume of sooty smoke from a low-temperature fire, and not big gouts of roaring flames like you'd expect to see if there was a raging, high-temperature conflagration going on inside the building.
Then, look at the Pentagon plane-crash fiasco. Same type of plane, same amazing kerosene fuel, same type of crash---yet in THIS instance the plane's kero DOESN'T burn hot at all, because the grass right outside the impact area is unscorched...yet it DOES burn hot enough to vaporize virtually all of the plane's wing material (very little of the wing material was found), which is a hell of alot of aluminum.
And somehow, a plane with a wingspan of over 120 feet manages to only rip a hole some 65 feet wide in the building. Oh, yeah. THAT makes sense.
There's just 'way too much that's fishy about this 9-11 business. From information I've seen, I find the whole story rather suspect, but I have no doubt that many people will think I'm some sort of "conspiracy nut" for even mentioning it. After all, the Government would NEVER perpetrate anything so heinous, would they? Of course not. Just like the Government would NEVER do anything like feed retarded kids radioactive oatmeal like they did in the late 40's-early 50's. Or inject mental patients with plutonium. Or lie about dangerous levels of fallout from the atom bomb tests.
Naaaah. I MUST be on the wrong track. Not OUR Government. Not in OUR country.
,I am also one that is constantly told that I am Paranoid etc.etc. My ex's grandma,(76) still doesn't believe ANY of that about the radiation bit.They would'nt do that...yeah ,ok....It just does seem very elaborate doesn't it?And the gain was going to be what ?The Patriot act? Keep talkin,ya got an audience here,small but listening nonetheless....

George had it right, he was just a little off on the date.
