And So It Begins: the Begining of the End for the Second Amendment.

Your first mistake was in believing that the Republicans had any more concern for your rights and the Constitution than the Democrats. Welcome to reality. You have now learned that the guy who says he's there for you is also the one closest and most likely to be reaching into your pocket to rob you. All the while, his other hand is around your shoulder, offering compnaionship and shared values. Uh huh.

And even in this thread, you have people still spouting the same tired old sheep-like attitude of blaming one side for the problem.

Before you start buying into the propaganda this is going to raise like the stink from stepping on a cow turd, consider that the entire operation, including the Guard troops in New Orleans, are now under the direct control of the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Coast Guard, Vice Admiral Thad Allen, before you start following the party line and tossing this blame at the local authorities. Are commissioners like that toad in Cook County Illinois trying to use the situation for their own ends? Yes. But remember what I said about the situation in New Orleans. It's the Republicans in control down there now. Be sure you're blaming the right thief before you chop off his hand.
