It's more a problem, for me, that so many in government think they have to muck about with things that must not be infringed (2nd Amendment is only <i>one</i> of those).Rev.

I vote Republican pretty much for one reason alone these days and that's Second Amendment rights and I am not much of a Libertarian because of immigration and foreign policy mostly.<br /><br />The biggest mistake the Founder's made was not being specific enough about Religion though and I wish that could be changed somehow. They never thought for a second freedom of Religion would mean freedom to be an atheist or satanist or pagan. But that is how it is being taken. I wish they had said freedom from denomination instead.<br /> PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-37399442275535863292014-12-17T08:35:15.984-09:002014-12-17T08:35:15.984-09:00Thanks, Sarge.Thanks, Sarge.Rev.
