It appears John, that folks forget why the American people was granted the Right to bear Arms pure and simple. Now why did our forfathers allow us to bear arms. To hunt squirrels, and rabbits? Nope that is not the reason. We were allowed to bear arms in order to keep the government honest as they would have the people to account to from their trusty sidearm. I do believe a lot has changed since way back when. Now the governmnet has tanks, armed personnel carriers, planes, bombs, machine guns, and all sorts of chemical weapons. Lets try and keep the governmnet honest today if one is stupid enough to try. Ban assault weapons, why of course. Why not if the gov'ment wishes to squeeze a little tighter and remove those freedoms we are guaranteed by the constitution. The idea that we can ONLY have a gun for hunting is ludicrus and self serving for Slick Willies and organized crime characters. In my opinion, everyone should own a bazzoka (sp). =Don= --- TriToss (tm) 1.03 - #28 * Origin: PC GARDEN BBS * Gibsonville NC (City of Roses) 336-449-7857 (1:3654/18) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 115 RUSH LIMBAUGH Ref: F5G00056 Date: 04/22/98 From: DON DODSON Time: 09:29am \/To: STEVE FRAGNER (Read 0 times) Subj: Food Fascism...

The grasshopper thinks he ius a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. The New Liberal Version: It starts out the same, but when winter comes, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, and ABC show up and provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to film of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can it be that, in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Then a representative of the NAAGB (The National Association for the Advancement of Green Bugs) shows up on the Nightline and charges the ant with Green Bias and makes the case that the grasshopper is the victim of 30 million years of greenism. Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when he sings, "It's not Easy Being Green". Bill and Hillary Clinton makes a special guest appearance on the CBS Evening News and tell a concerned Dan Rather that they will do everything they can for the grasshopper who has been denied the prosperity he deserves by those who benefited unfairly during the Reagan Summers, or as Bill refers to it, the Temperatures of the 80's. Richard Gephardt exclaims in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay for his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Econimic Equality and Anti-Greenism Act, retroacive to the beginning of the summer. Tha ant is fined for failing to hire z proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judjes that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare moms who can only hear cases on Thursday afternoon between 1:30 and 3:00 PM when there are no talk shows scheduled. The ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in - which just happens to be the ant's old house - crumbles around him since he does not know how to maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. And on the TV, which the grasshopper bought by selling most of the ant's food, they are showing Bill Clinton standing before a wildly applauding group of Democrats announcing a new era of fairness has dawned in America =Don= crosspost from GOP_POLITICS FIDO Conference --- TriToss (tm) 1.03 - #28 * Origin: PC GARDEN BBS * Gibsonville NC (City of Roses) 336-449-7857 (1:3654/18) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 115 RUSH LIMBAUGH Ref: F5G00058 Date: 04/22/98 From: TOM ENRIGHT Time: 08:15am \/To: JOHN SAMPSON (Read 0 times) Subj: A new theory -=> Quoting John Sampson to Don Dodson <=- DD>John, according to Gary Aldrich in his book "UNLIMITED ACCESS" Inside DD>the Clinton Whitehouse by a former FBI agent, you are right on target.

RC>So the social conservatives should expel the fiscal RC>conservatives, and vice versa? Why do you assume those labeled social conservatives are not also fiscal conservatives? They are very much so. They typically are also strong proponents of Constitutional original intent. Fiscal conservatism alone is empty and unreliable. RC>Why is it that single-issue RC>voters are more comfortable as ineffective minorities? Pejorative labeling, and inaccurate. In actuality, there are many issues, each of which will cause folks like me to reject and outright oppose a candidate. Abortion is one, 2nd Amendment issues another, private property issues yet another, and there are more. As Steve Forbes noted, however, when asked which he would sign if he could sign only one of either a tax bill meeting his desires or an anti-abortion one, LIFE comes first, precisely the position it is given in the Declaration of Independence. RC> RP> Those that say they are personally opposed to abortion, but RC> RP> refuse to stand up against it, and even support pro-abort RC> RP> candidates, are being no different than countless DemonRats RC> RP> we've heard over the years who've consistently said exactly RC> RP> the same thing. RC>Only in the eyes of the single-issue voter. To deny any RC>difference between Christy Todd Whitman the incumbent she RC>defeated is to ignore the entire fiscally conservative RC>portion of the platform. Would you be supportive of Christy if, rather than NOW's stand on abortion, she had adopted Schumer's stand on guns? Would you support the candidacy of Sarah Brady? Would you support a ANY Republican candidate who you agreed with on most things, but whose advocacy was the disarming of the American people? It's my guess that you would bitterly oppose any such Republican candidate for any office whatever, and the party itself, should it do likewise, regardless their stand on all other issues put together.
