Yeah, I don’t think I’d lean on the bastion of liberalism for an interpretation of law. There are plenty of scholars who will argue that the 14th amendment was written to apply to the children, born in the US, of slaves. Here’s a quote directly from the National Archives - Passed by Congress...

So what rights do you have that are not protected by the Constitution? Or is it just a coincidence that the Constitution covers the same exact rights that you believe are yours just by virtue of being alive?

I believe you mean “veiled”

You may want to read up on your world history. Here are just some of the countries where the right to bear arms doesn’t exist; Brunei, Cambodia, Comoros, East Timor, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Nauru, North Korea, Palau, Solomon Islands, Somalia, and Vatican City.

Wanting it and getting it are two very different things. I learned that after I’d circled dozens of items from the Sears Toy Catalog as a kid only to have none of the show up Christmas morning. And right now, Trump appears to be Santa Claus - the only chance we have of getting what we really...

Agreed. Also, Trump really only has two years. If the Dems regain control of the House or Senate at the midterms, it could be a lot more difficult to push his agenda through. That’s why they are having to work at a breakneck pace.

Unfortunately, I think our nation has moved beyond that. In days of old, the Republicans and Democrats weren’t that far off in terms of how they viewed what was important for America. They both believed in the inherent good of our nation, national defense, good schools, etc. They just had a...

If you’re worried about the lack of access to doctors, you can partially blame Jimmy Carter for that. In 1980, just his presidency was winding down, the federal government surmised that there were too many people attending the nation’s teaching hospitals. They projected a surplus of 20,000 by...

Such as?

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket?”. Hopefully you had investments that did well and softened the blow your defense stocks took.

What makes him a billionaire douchebag in your opinion?

I believe we can go ahead and make a blanket statement that virtually every ill that affects our society has its roots in government. For example, mass murders where the shooter was known to one government entity but they didn’t share their intel with other agencies who could have prevented the...

We met with a new insurance broker to get quotes. He was asking if we have any particular items of high value, so my wife starts rolling off jewelry, etc. He asked about guns and the value. I’m trying to give him the “look” like, help a buddy out here! I told him I’d have to get back to him on that!

I used to love Blue Bell. Then I read an article stating it was one of the worst brands. This was largely due to their use of low-quality ingredients. I know, it broke my heart! https://www.mysanantonio.com/food/article/Blue-bell-low-quality-ingredients-ranking-17327580.php

Hmmm, I don’t know. I’m thinking something more along the lines of the B-2 Spirit or the B-52 Stratofortress.
