Rants

Included in this article:      3 Comments    

WHAT IS A 15-year-old doing with a gun in the first place? What would you do if someone pointed a rifle at you?

POLICE DO NOT have time to have a conference when someone pulls a gun.

IF IT TAKES 50 shots to kill someone, you’re obviously not shooting at the right place.

WHEN A STATE puts gun lovers’ happiness over safety concerns it eventually only hurts the state.

ANY CITY THAT votes guns in will only raise taxes to cover higher insurance costs. You really get what you ask for sometimes.

I WAS IN the Marine Corps for four years (13 months in Vietnam) and did not feel the need to go to a bar armed!

WE HATE TO see government and taxes imposed upon any people contrary to their will. Denying a vote by the people defies “the American way.”

AMAZING THAT right-wing misinformation shouters stayed away from Bob Corker’s town hall meeting. What a surprise!

AS I WATCH these angry mobs, manipulated by lies and misinformation about health care reform, I am reminded that laughter is the best medicine.

THE SIMPLEST way Congress can lower health care costs is to cap malpractice awards. But of course, most Congressmen are lawyers.

TENNESSEANS don’t need health care reform; we’re already in the top 10 for obesity, diabetes, heart and blood pressure problems, etc. Let’s keep the status quo.

SUPPORT OR OPPOSE Obama’s health care plan based on facts, not misinformation and outright lies. Also, do it in a civil manner.

Guns! Guns kill less people than drunk drivers. In this country you need a gun to protect your right under the law. How many people have been shot by police. The guy in Trenton Ga. was shot 45 times by the police. That's called overkill. What about when Chief Dobbs promoted that officer that had 28 internal investagations aginst him just to later be convected of rape. In Kenshaw Ga. Guns or required. They have the lowest crime rate in the nation. Fact Airforce 1 is not supposed to be airborn unless the President is on it. Why was it flying around NY. Who is running this country. Not the people for sure. When Hilter envaded Poland they had gun registed laws. It made it real easy for the Nazi to know who had a gun. Your right about one thing, A 15 year old has no buiness with a gun in school or anywhere else. His parents should be held for that. I'm for Freedom of speech and all. But corrupt America is taking away or rights left and right and all we do is sit worring about Nascar.

These rants are further proof that the right to vote and citizen should not be given freely. How about a simple 10 question multiple choice test with some question about the constitution and our form of government (we do not have a democracy, after all). The final part of the test would be for the subject to 1. chew gum, 2. walk, 3. breathe. All at the same time.

Unless it's hereditary, lots of times those situations fall back on personal responsibility. No amount of Obama Care will fix that.
