Re: On Being Willing to Apply Violence (by Hsoi)

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.

Tell the lamb that violence isn't acceptable.

Re: Cosby Guilty - So How Long Does He Get To Remain Free?

Apparently you can't distinguish between a threat and using sarcasm to make a point. There, in addition to the Constitution, I just taught you something else.
And by the way, there is no rule that a Christian must bow to the enemy and not defend his country and its form of government.

Re: Cosby Guilty - So How Long Does He Get To Remain Free?

As far as the priests who are accused of abusing children, I would indeed "defend" them to the extent that I would expect the cases against them to be proven individually. Once each case was proven, I would expect that the law impose whatever penalties are appropriate. But then again, I am...

Re: Cosby Guilty - So How Long Does He Get To Remain Free?

LOL! You will search a long time before you find anyone who accuses me of being a liberal! You say that I am "gentle regarding criminals." You apparently haven't read anything I wrote. I believe in the Constitution. In fact, I believe in it so much that long ago I raised my hand and took a...

Re: Cosby Guilty - So How Long Does He Get To Remain Free?

Cosby is definitely guilty and will end up in prison. The sad thing is that Cosby was an inspiration to so many young black people, pushing them into higher education, to be respectful and hard working. He had an important role in life to help these young people and now it turns out to all be a lie...

[quote="Abraham If you've proven a personal precedent for a particular type of unlawful sexual behavior, there's a reasonable expectation you'll quite possibly do it again. Weirdo sex freaks aren't in the same category as bank robbers or car thieves or con men, they're depraved sickos. Not just...

Re: Good afternoon, Teaching first class

I always tell students that I don't want to waste time with two things: 1. My opinions. What gun/holster/ammo should I use? Etc., etc. Do I think the law should be changed to such and such? I tell them that after class and testing I will be happy to let them buy me a beer and we can talk about my op...

Re: Cosby Guilty - So How Long Does He Get To Remain Free?

Separately, there is the process. I firmly believe in the legal concept of guilty until proven innocent , and the idea that our legal system should be set up with a bias toward letting the guilty go free rather than wrongly convicted the innocent. On that note, I do have a problem with several aspe...

Re: Oklahoma House passes "Constitutional Carry" bill

Since I understand the concern about "untrained" people carrying guns, I re-read the Second Amendment. It does NOT say:

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed if a person has state approved training.

Re: Waiting Time For Residency Requirement

True, but as an instructor, I kind of like to think through questions that I haven't received before if I intend to answer someone.
