| 16. Obama says DC ban was illegal all along...... |
|
From NY Sun...
"Contrary to his previous announcements: Mr. Obama now favors capital punishment, if not for murderers, at least for child rapists; he now thinks maintaining a mother's mental health is no reason for an abortion; far from poking fun at those who "cling to guns," he now says he thinks the Washington D.C., handgun ban was illegal all along; far from sneering at those who "cling to religion," he has cozied up to evangelical Christians and encouraged "faith based initiatives;" he now believes public campaign financing is too flawed to accept; he now thinks it rash to take tea with the world's tyrants without "preparations."
Most important of all, at least to his battalions of young volunteers, he is now not sure he can order a couple of brigades’ home from Iraq safely every month. His previous position, that he would tell the top brass to proceed with a total withdrawal from Iraq with immediate effect, is to be "revised." "
I like Obama's new positions, except for Iraq. I'm still for an immediate withdrawal of all US troops. I don't like sucking up to the fundies though.

I'm of the opinion that the Bill of Rights does not "allow" citizens anything |

The state militia system is still alive but that's beside the point because it's an individual right |
