Thomas Jefferson and our 2nd Amendment and other important quotes
-
Cal, you really don't get why people are laughing at you, do you? It's not the content of the quotes, the gun control thing has been done to death a thousand times. It's the point that you are trying to put Jefferson up as, presumably, some great leader of the free world, with all these things he said on the topic of gun control, trying to cash in on his supposed gravitas. When called out on the mistake, you retreat to just saying 'well the quotes are nice' - perhaps, but that's not what you were trying to do.
The quotes themselves are another matter, and I'd argue that although they make for nice soundbites, you'd need to consider the relevance of these things from 200 years ago in today's world, but that's not the point.

doesn't matter, Chris. I liked the quotes, and thought it was fun to
post them.
Up yours if you want to feign "offense"
ahahaha. Truth is, I don't care if he actually said them or not.
It ...was....just....an....email...that....was....going ....around.
You bitch about Jefferson not actually saying them, then you BITCH
that they are 200 years old.
That's just bitching to bitch about the content of the quotes, lefthandedly.
Go ahead, bitch. It's kinda almost funny, in a stupid kind of way.

well, the woodypeckerhead and Chris can't stand being disagreed with...
too bad.
I just thought the stuff was interesting. I don't have to go research for an hour, to post
some stuff.
But, I will make sure to post a whole lot more of it, since their liberalwingnut feigned
victimhood that Jefferson apparently didn't say all those things.... that they find an
excuse for their childish bitchfest.
Perhaps you two would like to go mud wrestle in some gay bar or something.
I'm not going to factcheck everything I think is interesting. I liked the quotes, and
that's what I'm going with the next time. Who actually did the quoting doesn't really matter.
I kinda figured the bitchfest would happen with our resident liberal whiners about something,
but more along the lines of challenging the actual quotes themselves.
it would be a great bet, that they would bitch and bitch and bitch, even if Jefferson really did
say those things, and is there anyone besides them who doubts it? Especially,
the stinkin little woodpecker, the butt of the board. You libs have a nice day, you ain't
seen nothin yet.... @@

So basically you don't give a shit that they are fake so long as it agrees with your sensibilities? Illogic
**************************************************************
The sayings aren't fake, don't be a twit. Just that somebody else said them. Big freakin deal, not so much.

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

"The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (James Madison of Virginia, The Federalist, No. 46)

Two feets they come a creepin'
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are lyin' naked
Creeper think he got nothin' to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
And while a man reaching for his trousers
Shoots him full of .38 holes
[Chorus]
Its a Saturday night special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
Ain't no good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in a hole
Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey
And playing poker on a losin' night
Pretty soon, Big Jim starts a thinkin'
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
So Big Jim commences to fightin'
I wouldn't tell you no lie
And Big Jim done grab his pistol
Shot his friend right between the eyes
[Chorus]
Hand guns are made for killin'
Ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you or me
-Ronnie Van Zant
