| One of the things that irks me about Bush is his wanting to give MY tax money to "faith-based" organizations. I firmly believe in separation of church and state. People can believe whatever they want, but I don't want my money going to religious organizations. It's bad enough that they get out of paying taxes, they shouldn't get the money from the taxes I am forced to pay.
As for the 2nd amendment, I can sum up my feelings by quoting a bumper sticker a former neighbor of mine had when I was a kid: "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". It's not about being able to defend yourself against a huge military force. It's about being able to defend yourself against the scum who will break into your house to rob and kill you.
I don't need illusions. I live in the real world. |
