Look Back in Anger

Gun rights advocate David Codrea is an angry guy. For one thing, he is angry about what has happened to Second Amendment rights in America: Just seeing the title of his blog, The War on Guns, is enough to tell one that.

Lately, though, Codrea has been especially angry at Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr.

Not angry--just insistent on a straight answer. The Barr campaign and the LP addressing this early on and giving their side would have perhaps made all this unnecessary--that they still have not, and that George Dance thinks that's the politically smart thing to do--shows a fundamental disconnect with gun owners who are tired of the same old evasion they can get from either of the major parties.

Go read it yourself, and don't forget Part Two, where it's suggested I'm being "misrepresentative." I'll probably have something to say about that in a few days.

David, anger and hate are what liberals are controlled by, by their limo liberal leaders. They don't get it that other people can be on a mission without suffering from mental illness such as liberals are.
So when a liberal is making a point to other liberals they have to show that normal people are suffering from something that their readers can understand. Such as being propelled on anger and hate. It would be insane for liberals to try and relate to their readers saying that normal folks are fueled on reason and logic and anger and hate are not part of the drive.
That's the reason that liberals can lie to their readers and its not a problem. Even if it is proved that the liberal writer is lying it doesn't matter to the liberal reader and the reason is they see it as, "it could be that way". These whack jobs live in a world of their own.

Nolan Chart is a libertarian site, not a liberal site. Opposite end of the political hierarchy. Just as far from "liberal/conservative" as it is possible to be. That doesn't mean that defending Barr of his gun ignorance is right or smart. Stupidity isn't only a "liberal/conservative" problem.

If the LP doesn't like the negative exposure, why don't they simply have their candidate ANSWER THE BLOODY QUESTION? How many months has it been now?

Jeff, you make the point. Why! or ?
