“To one who vents: ‘Why do law abiding citizens need assault rifles?’ As long as police forces and governments worldwide use tools like this to impose laws and policies, I will support a citizen’s right to carry those same tools to protect themselves. The 2nd Amendment has been protecting citizens from criminals and tyrants since Dec. 15, 1791. The 2nd Amendment is not for hunting …”
“To all of those assault weapons owners who claim they’re for protection from the government: If our military wanted you dead, you’d be dead. Be it by drone, sniper or Seal team 6, they could get it done before you knew what was happening.”
“I think the government of the United States is trying to get rid of the poor people and keep the rich and let them run the government so they can make their own rules.”
“So as it turns out, the real problem with the Colorado theater shooter wasn’t the guns, it was the responsible authorities afraid to report him as loony tunes. Just like with Loughner and the Ft. Hood shooter, political correctness has killed again.”
“With all the mass shooting going on lately, we as a society are irresponsible, to say the least, to allow our children to become desensitized through video games, TV programs and movies that teach and promote violence and killing. It starts with violence on the playground and if we stay ignorant our young, oblivious brutalization victims will reach their ‘prime crime age’ during their teenage years and than it’s too late to regret.”
“The country’s going to hell in a hand basket, its infrastructure is falling apart, and what’s the major issue in the election campaign? Women’s health issues. Romney’s doing a decent job of handling it low-key but Bubba: He’s spending millions of our dollars pandering to females over who’s going to pay for their birth control while he should be gung ho on the economy, finance, infrastructure repair, security, etc.”

Vent #1: Please don't distort the 2nd Amendment to fit your own definition. Just follow the constitution and hope it will hold us together.
Vent #2: For those that trust in the government, just remember that some governments fall apart and end up going bad. Be ready.
Vent #3: How is the government trying to get rid of poor people? The present administration believes that if you are poor and middle class then they want to make you dependent on government, if you are rich they want to take it all away and give it to the dependent.
Vent #4: Political Correctness is costing lives and money.
Vent #5: Some of what you say maybe true. But I'm sure you haven't heard the latest conspiracy theory. It's all caused by fluoride in the water. LOL
Vent #6: Drove to Colorado and back last week. Went through at least 12 construction zones. Work on the infrastructure is being done. And as for women's healthcare, how much more free stuff do they need? Obama is campaigning on our borrowed dime, scheduling one official event and doing three campaign speeches and fund raisers on the same trip.

chatmandu002 --- you said " Obama is campaigning on our borrowed dime, scheduling one official event and doing three campaign speeches and fund raisers on the same trip. "
Would you mind explaining, please, how this is any different than what every other incumbent President and Congress person has done?
It's one of the benefits of incumbency. Every incumbent does it. You get mailers from Congressmen, paid for by the taxpayers, that are nothing but campaign pieces.
EVERY inumbent President, including Bush the Greator and Bush the Lessor, have used their official duties to campaign at the same time.
If you disagree, I challenge you to name one who did not and prove it.

Willie,
Most of the other presidents have campaigned on our dime. Obama is just taking it to an absurd level while the country slides into bankruptcy while borrowing 40 cents on every dollar spent by the government.

It's only an absurd level if you listen to Rush / Hannity. Obama has done no different than previous Presidents.
Right wing radio screams about Obama taking too much vacation time too -- but the embarrasing fact was that Bush the Lessor took far far more. But, of course, since it doesn't fit into their idiologe view they ignore that.
If you don't want to see the country go bankrupt ... then we should consider having an income tax surcharge as we did during previous times of war. Just cutting spending won't do a thing for the current debt.
But right wingers seem to WANT the country to go bankrupt so they can terminate Social Security and Medicare. They refuse to pay taxes to pay for the wars they started during the Bush administration.
Republicans = DEADBEATS
Republican -- the party of BORROW AND SPEND
