While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32385632 Belgium 01/18/2013 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thom Hartmann Says ‘Second Amendment Was Passed To Protect Slavery’ [link to www.mediaite.com] The real reason the Second Amendment was ratified, and why it says “State” instead of “Country” (the Framers knew the difference – see the 10th Amendment), was to preserve the slave patrol militias in the southern states, which was necessary to get Virginia’s vote [ratifying the Constitution itself]. In the beginning, there were the militias. In the South, they were also called the “slave patrols,” and they were regulated by the states. In Georgia, for example, a generation before the American Revolution, laws were passed in 1755 and 1757 that required all plantation owners or their male white employees to be members of the Georgia Militia, and for those armed militia members to make monthly inspections of the quarters of all slaves in the state. The law defined which counties had which armed militias and even required armed militia members to keep a keen eye out for slaves who may be planning uprisings. . . . Every southerner of the era knew the simple answer: Well regulated militias kept the slaves in chains. [link to americablog.com] |

All these dumb dick celebrities running their mouths the last month is leaving me with very few celebrities I can patron with my hard earned dollars. Quoting: Chris12138 The same celebrities who have trained armed guards everywhere they go. They benefit from the 2nd amendment but you should not as YOU are nothing more than a serf. What is good for them is not good for you. More hypocrisy. Holly weird makes money off glorifying violence in movies. Same with politicians and war. Yet they see you as mud nothing more than revenue, cattle and shit on their patent leather shoes. |
