Everyone agrees that owning a gun is a constitutionally protected right. But it’s something else completely to believe we have the right to threaten gun violence as protection against our own government. When you take the second amendment piece by piece, it doesn’t say anything remotely related to people protecting themselves from the American government.
Two of my favorite sitcoms were on TV last Thursday night at 9. NBC had the eighth season premiere of The Office, and Fox News aired the third installment of a new show called The Republican Presidential Debates. Both were great for laughs and quite a few groans, but, unfortunately, the debate was the more fictionalized of the two shows.
On September 20, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell finally goes where it belongs: the dustbin of history.
Many of my conservative friends have told me lately how displeased they are with the current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls. I can certainly understand their disappointment.
