Confused

Just some random, Saturday morning musings.

Liberals say that there is no legitimate need for individual gun rights, as the government is there to protect us.

Liberals say that Bush has repeatedly violated law and the constitution and has stripped us of our civil rights.

Liberals say that informal militias in Iraq have beat the US military.

And then, the liberals conclude that only the government has a right to be armed.

What am I missing?

Going a bit further with this, if you ever dig into the "foodie" culture, you'll see that the people who are really into exotic food, especially meats, with wild game being prized, tend to be liberal.

And liberals are opposed to...hunting.

Again, what am I missing?

If conservatives really wanted to deprive the population of civil rights and oppress minorities, wouldn't the conservatives want an unarmed populace?

So, could it be that the policies speak louder than the stereotypes?

Jerry McNerney Hates The Bill Of Rights

55 Senators and 250 Representatives signed an amici curiae brief in support of a challenge to the Bill of Rights by the District of Columbia. 305 members of Congress had the courage to stand firm in protecting your constitutional rights.

Jerry McNerney refused to sign the brief.

Remember when McNerney refused to sign a farm support reform bill that would have provided federal funds to protect the local environment?

Remember how McNerney embraced the Code Pink leftists, the very ones who are currently attacking the US Marines in Berkeley?

Remember how McNerney refused to speak up to stop an attempt to violate the will of the voters in the 11th District?

Seems like McNerney has a clear pattern of not supporting anything that is important to the core constituency of his district.

McNerney, the lapdog of Pelosi...This man represents San Francisco or Berkeley, but he doesn't represent the good people of the 11th District.
