How serious was he?
About as serious as he was when he swore that oath of office on his "personal Bible."
You know, this serious:
Gov. Bill Haslam and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey are working against a bill to allow faculty and staff to carry guns on the campuses of Tennessee’s public universities.The Stupid Party continues leading the way with politically-calculated betrayals.
Take Ramsey--please:
“I want to concentrate on what I think is meaningful and what will help Second Amendment, gun carry permit holders the most,” Ramsey said. “And I do think that guns on campus is a sideline that we don’t need to be getting to right now.”That's the same Ron Ramsey endorsed by GOA. And rated A+ by NRA.
"Who else are gun owners gonna vote for?" the strategy goes. They're counting on us being that desperate. Meaning we'll never have the political will to punish and give up a seat for the short term to teach a lesson for the long term.
Meaning without a credible "or else," there will never be sufficient incentive to keep these despicable Three Card Monte hustlers honest.
Obama 2012! These principle-devoid whores seem bound and determined to guarantee it.
Just as with the "cops," no change will ever come until it costs them personally. And I mean COSTS them - not just losing an election.
ReplyDeleteOh David, not you, too!
ReplyDeleteYou make the same mistake many do -- and you are otherwise so well informed.
The quote is actually:
"The proof of the pudding is in the eating."
See here and here for authority.
Analogously, I could say this:
"The proof of the Assault Rifle is in the shooting."
Try that.
The 'peculiar local custom' of infringing is repugnant. Denying rights under color of law = domestic enemies to the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteInalienable in America. A privilege under communism.
Mr Ramsey and Haslam have revealed their inner commie.
