They'll Have to Pry This Blog from my Cold Dead Hands...
I'm not a major gun owner... but I do believe in the Constitution and the infrangible and inviolable nature of every single one of the rights enumerated therein. And the Founding Fathers ascribed a singular importance to the right to gun ownership so much that they put that one up there at number two.
The following video is a passionate contemporary defense of that right, and the climax is priceless and absolutely on target (pardon the expression)...
Flip-flop frippery...
For come reason, the term flip-flopping has become a pejorative even when it means a candidate moved to a better position on an issue. Granted, most mind changes occur for the purpose of pandering, and are not guided by core principals. But the opposite of flip flopping on an issue is being totally intransigent, which is a far more serious shortcoming.
This leads me to Barack Obama, who has changed his mind on the idea of success in Iraq, which I think is healthy for his campaign, and certainly healthy for America should he become President. He is aware now that we have turned the corner and are winning.
My only quarrel with him is that he has failed to admit that he was previously wrong. He has tried to simply re-write history in this case, appearing to have felt this way all along… and in that vein, I present this video, obviously put together by a bunch of right wing-nuts who don’t want to see him succeed in November.
Obama - the candidate of changing positions on Iraq
My message to Mr. Obama would be, just admit you were wrong. It would make you seem less Messianic and more human, and it would certainly improve your credibility.
