As noted in a previous article for Pajamas Media from February 22, Obama said in the 1998 Illinois State Legislative National Political Awareness Test that he favored a ban on the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons. Semi-automatic weapons are those firearms that are self-loading. They fire once per trigger pull, and use the energy generated by the firing cartridge to eject the empty casing and load the next round. They are not to be confused with fully-automatic weapons — most commonly called machine guns — used by the military and some elite police units, which will fire for as long as the trigger is depressed and the firearm has ammunition.
The semi-automatic firearms Barack Obama would like to see banned include rifles and shotguns commonly used for defense, hunting, and many forms of target shooting. This counters his campaign web site, where Obama claims to respect the Second Amendment. Cleverly worded as befitting a lawyer, Obama’s one-paragraph statement says he respects the rights of hunters. The right of using a firearm in self-defense or the defense of others appears nowhere in his statement.

And before the skeet set and bolt gunners get too smug cuz Osama Obama isn't targeting them, here's a quote from John Lott "This is the same guy(Obama) who told me back in the mid-1990s when we were talking about the Chicago lawsuit against gun makers that he didn't think that anybody should be able to own a gun."
Mr. Obama is a socialist, the antithesis of a freedom-loving people and, ultimately, the death of our Founders' vision.
I have no love of the Bush vermin or, as you so well put it, "the Republican liars, cheats and hypocrites."
But Mr. Obama is himself a liar, a hypocrite and a cheater; a user and supporter of the Chicago political machine; beneficiary of under-the-table deals that would send a "normal" person to prison; a liar about his true beliefs in his frenzy to be elected President; a supporter of anti-American scum like THE REVEREND Jeremiah "God Damn America!" Wright; and, in general, a well-spoken snake. He doesn't even have the balls to tell his supporters that he smokes, because his campaign is...er...sorta anti-smoking, because, you know, people who thing the right way don't, like. you know, smoke.
BHusseinO?
Just because you can give a good speech doesn't make you anything more than what you are...and BHusseinO is a disease.

You just don't get it, do you? This blog isn't long enough, large enough, nor detatiled enough to go into an explanation that you would understand. I'm not trying to insult you, you've done that to yourself already. I'm only asking you to listen so that you understand. Simply put, socialism does not work, it has never worked and will not work, just because someone else tries it, or says that it will, "this time". The change socialism offers is that you will be relegated to servitutde, even if it is only financial enslavement. But, it goes much deeper, you lose ALL of your liberties as well.
So, rather than continue to read this blog, go back and study history and political science. Note that it's called a "science", because it is just that. Various actions net various outcomes; always.
