Graduation season has arrived, and colleges and universities all across the United States are taking advantage of their final opportunities to indoctrinate America’s young people with liberal philosophy.
In recent years, every year – without fail – American colleges and universities have an enormous disparity between the number of liberal speakers and the number of conservative speakers they invite to give the school’s commencement address to graduates. Even before the concept of “safe spaces” really took off on campuses, school administrators shied away from inviting conservative speakers.
Pampered students, led by proselytizing professors, have effectively silenced free speech that falls anywhere right of center. George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, John McCain, Ayaan Hirsi-Ali, Dr. Ben Carson, and Ann Coulter are just a few of the conservative speakers to have been disinvited to multiple campus speaking engagements. In fact, 9 of the top 10 most disinvited college speakers in 2014 were conservative. Domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers was the lone liberal on the list.
Last weekend, students at the University of Mississippi – Ole Miss – found themselves on the receiving end of an anti-gun lecture by NBC reporter, Tom Brokaw. To read more, and watch as Brokaw proclaims that Americans’ right to bear arms leads to domestic terrorism, continue reading on the next page:
I wish he’d just leave the country.
Tom Brokenass a wussy of major proportions and a communist inspired asshole
The South, and you bring that message?
DUMMASS
On this subject Tom, you need to STFU. For one you have no credibility, and second you fail to grasp that with all the guns out there, the average of being shot by one is less than dying from malpractice. If you really want to save lives why don’t you look into pharmaceutical companies and the doctors that keep practicing after mistakes that killed people.
Notice that the hypocrite is calling you and me terrorists….There’s your media in action…they wont stop until they saturate the minds of Americans with this b******t. Till that neighbor of yours and mine look at us as enemies….terrorists….
Where are the veterans who swore to protect the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic……. All it requires is for you to act on what you swore you would actually do.
The Constitution law forbids judges or lawmakers from infringing or passing legislation “editing” any amendment outside a constitutional convention. That amendment process is laid out in Article V of the Constitution, which says that either supermajorities in both houses of Congress or a national convention can propose them and a larger supermajority of states must sign on in order to secure ratification.
Oh, I forgot, you failed your oath of office by expanding the empire, illegal wars, protecting corporate, military and banker interests.
2nd Amendment: Original Meaning and Purpose
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
When the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1789, federalists claimed the new government would only have limited powers expressly delegated to it. This wasn’t enough for anti-federalists like George Mason, who wanted explicit guarantees to certain rights in order to prevent any potential encroachment by the federal government.
One of them was the right to keep and bear arms. Mason wrote:
“A well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free State”
The Founding Fathers, having just broken away from Great Britain, understood the new federal government they were ratifying might one day become just as tyrannical. If it had the authority to control citizen access to firearms, then it could disarm them, just as the British attempted to do. This would make any attempts to restore liberties futile.
The Second Amendment was specifically included in the Bill of Rights to prevent this.
Two centuries later, we are in an ideological struggle with gun control advocates attempting to alter the meaning of the Second Amendment in order to allow for federal restrictions on our right to bear arms. Not surprisingly, they completely ignore what the ratifiers of the Constitution and the Second Amendment had to say, because all pertinent historical documents contradict them.
For example, when the Founders wrote of a “well regulated” militia, they meant militias needed to be well regulated through training and drilling in order to be effective in battle. This could only happen if citizens had unrestricted access to firearms.
James Madison, the father of the Constitution, said in 1789 that “A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
An example of a well regulated militia under Madison’s definition were the Minutemen at Concord and Lexington, who had drilled on fields in preparation for war.
As to the meaning of the word “militia,” it has nothing to do with the National Guard. There is already a clause in the Constitution that specifically authorizes arming them.
So what is a militia as defined by the Founders? Mason said they were “the whole people, except for a few public officials.”
In fact, there was a universal acceptance among both federalists and anti-federalists as to the importance of the right to bear arms.
Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 28 that “if the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense,” a right which he declared to be “paramount.”
And then there is clause “shall not be infringed.” There is no exception to this contained anywhere in the amendment.
Zacharia Johnson, a delegate to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, summed up the meaning of the Second Amendment when he declared that “The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them.”
Full possession. Not some. Not most. Full possession of their weapons. The feds were to keep their hands off entirely.
The Founders made it very clear what the Second Amendment means. But if we do not fight against any and all attempts by the feds to infringe upon our right to keep and bear arms, then it loses all relevant meaning.
King Xerses of Persia also told the Greeks that if they didn’t surrender their arms, the Persian arrows would blot out the sun, to which King Leonidas replied: “Then we will fight in the shade!”
Ensures
wrong-very wrong we have the right to bear arms
TOM….GO HOME AND GO TO BED….MAYBE IF YOU WAKE UP YOU WILL BE A LITTLE SMARTER…
