Hey now, I'm a grown man and own a 10/22 :biggrinjester:

Re: This is part of what we're up against....

The cesarean argument reminds me of the President's comments to peaceably assemble. It's unbelievable how even intelligent, supposedly learned people do this -- unless they know it's a rhetorical sham they're perpetrating on the rest of the populous: Take one word which you know how to define and run with it. Natural born citizen does not mean a citizen of natural birth.

Similarly, the Constitution protects the right to peaceably assemble, not the right to have complete peace while you assemble! If that were the case, protests would banned, lest we disturb those assembled and being picketed. Our forefathers had the insight to spell out our innate negative (freedom-from) rights, not pontificate on what false positive (privilege-granting) rights the government could bestow. We have laws establishing police forces and the like to help ensure our security, but if somehow our safety-net fails we don't cry that the government has violated our rights -- it's the criminals. (Okay, maybe some wrongly do think it's the government.)

I must have been raised in a cave, thinking the basics of civics were required teaching in all schools. It is a life free from coercion that is necessary for our G-d given rights to flourish, not a life sustained by entitlements.
