The Right To Bear Arms

[frigidweirdo]

Many a nation has fallen to invaders that believed exactly that. Our military is not set up for truly defending our borders, it is set up to project power around the world. No, we have seen what can happen when the citizens of an invaded country have small arms and the will to fight. Have you forgotten?

Forgotten what?

Wrong!

Establishment Clause: Separation of Church and State

The establishment clause prohibits government from establishing a religion. It is sometimes referred to as separation of church and state.

How is church defined if the FF intended for those concepts to be mixed? Which church? Any church? I mean even if you wanted to insist on Christianity, that would have to be explicitly stated. Moreover, you would have to narrow down a denomination since they have different principles.

Well, the courts fucked up the intent of the Founding Fathers with the separation of church and state.

Remember one thing Lakota, the FF were not trying to protect the government from the people.
They were protecting the people from the government. And you want that taken away.

Try to understand why it was even an issue with the FF's. Understand how much the Catholic church influenced the King
of England. That was the intent of the separation.

One of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, is directly responsible for giving us this phrase. In his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association, then-President Jefferson used the phrase — it was probably not the first time, but it is the most memorable one. He said:

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, [the people, in the 1st Amendment,] declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.

Well, since God is not mentioned in the Constitution - that should give you a big hint. Draw on your cognitive abilities.

Founding Fathers: We Are Not a Christian Nation

As we witness yet again the brutal and bloody consequences of religious intolerance in the form of ISIS, we have a majority of Republicans pining for a Christian America. Proponents of converting the United States into a theocracy do not see the terrible parallel between religious excess in the...

Well, the Left powers that be are hell bent on disarming American citizens. China 100% believes Americans do not need to be armed.

If past actions and sacrifice are any indication of the Rights future willingness to fight for their rights and dignity, then taking away all Americans guns will be a cake walk. Kind of surprised they haven't just done it already. They have nothing to fear except angry whining.
