Radar, do you believe that the right to keep a well organized militia refers to the right of private citizens to keep and bear arms or that it refers to having a state militia (currently, the coast guard)? Since the West interprets the term in the former way and the Southeast interprets the term in the second way, which segment of the American population is completely and utterly wrong?

First, it's not a right to keep a well organized militia, it's a right for individuals to keep and bear arms because militias are "necessary to the security of a free State". Second, anyone who reads it another way is wrong. As mentioned by someone else, everytime the phrase "the people" is used in the rest of the Constitution, it refers to the general populace. And Thirdly because we all have a right to life, we have a right to defend that life any way we see fit and that includes using guns.

You seem to be quite pro-business, so why do you want to return to a more detrimental tariff-based taxing system?

I would be interested in a very low flat-rate tariff on all trading partners. Right now some pay huge tariffs and some pay no tariffs at all. I'd be talking about 3% across the board which wouldn't be detrimental to business, especially considering the lower labor costs abroad.

If this line makes sesnse to you then you have no clue what actual slavery is, so this is pointless.

Slavery is being forced under duress to labor without compensation. I think we can all agree on that point. So if the guns of government are going to come after me if they don't get the fruits of my labor, it's slavery.

To answer your question yes, I would oppose you. The reason is that I don't believe that you would "return it to a constitutional republic."

If you would oppose me in my efforts to return America to a Constitutional republic, I would kill you plain and simple. Because you would represent those who oppress us, rob us, threaten us, and even murder some of us.

So, to tariff or not to tariff? Which is it?

As I've said, I'm not interested in raising tariffs (protectionism). I'm interested in keeping the same amount of tarifs we already collect but spreading it out evenly and fairly among all those who import good into America.

Just to add a little more to the fanatic point...

I'm not a fanatic in any sense of the word. I am a citizen of America and have popular sovereignty. I DEMAND that the government I've given power to follow the rules set up in the beginning. The government answers to me, not the other way around. The Constitution wasn't created to limit our rights, but to limit the powers of the government. The government will follow the limitations on thier powers listed in the Constitution or blood will be spilled. It's that simple.
