Precisely.

Of course, back then, they called conservatives "Tories".

Nonsense. What passes for conservativism today was a philosophy mainly held by Alexander Hamilton and 300,000 pissed off tories.

So, you support gun ownership, right?

I know. But it is still a credible resource. And it appears that some people hold Clinton responsible while others hold republicans responsible. One thing is for certain, republicans are not interested in compromise. Never have been, never will be. Democrats always compromise.

Oh good grief. Conservatism is supposed to be about fiscal responsibilty, and republicans, since Reagan, have been anything BUT.

Not if you want to live in Berkley! Diane Feinstein’s back yard. You know miss Gun-Grabber herself. The one who wants to take guns away from people yet she secretly owns one herself? pssst.... don't tell anyone.

So now you are going to tell me how Demoncrats are fiscally responsible with the latest spending package.

I do. But I also support reasonable laws and regulations to keep them from getting into the wrong hands. And ftr, I do not own a gun. I have never owned a gun. I have never felt the need to own a gun. And I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years, 1 1/2 of which were in the hood in Venice. Never had a problem. Ever.

Well what would you suggest we do? We have to do something, and most economists are saying the package is actually not big enough.

If bush had not run our deficit into the stratosphere with his stupid wars, we would not be in this mess. We would have the money to handle the situation and wouldn't have to borrow it.

Cool, and the Liberals of 200 years ago are the same of today?

The deficit has little to do with it. Of course we would still have to barrow it.

My point exactly.

A classic liberal doesn't believe in gun ownership...they INSIST on it. Fatally, if necessary.

What passes for liberalism today is something like watered down British nanny-statism.

You catch on quick, don't you?

Maybe it was those posts where I said that wasn't the case.

TGRR,
Will type slower, and use smaller words.

Typing slower is always helpful.
