Yes, it’s never pointed out that the main point man for these convoluted interpretations of the Second Amendment is the NRA’s “bought fellow” at George Mason.

Nelson Lund argues that the citizen militia should be Constitutionally allowed to “bear” any weapon that the US military has in its arsenal. He argues, yes, that means fully automatic machine guns…but there is no restriction to that also referring to Abrams tanks, white phosphorous bombs, F-4 Fighter-Bombers, ground-to-air missiles, and nuclear weapons.

If you don’t know it, that is a technique that certain dyslexics use in order to be able to read. It’s not something that should be made fun of. It’s like wearing glasses or a hearing aid.

Linda Chavez was more of a Reaganite Republican. She doesn’t really seem to have ever stuck with anything in her life except for the inaptly named Center for Equal Opportunity which she founded in 1995 and her time as the editor of American Educator 1977-1983. Her whole career otherwise is a series of “left” and “withdrew froms”. In the Bush II years, she mismanaged some PACs and used them to hire family but that is about it. Her main claim to fame is that she is a harsh critic of affirmative action preferring instead the tokenism of the Republican party with its system of wingnut welfare.

Brietbart is running the GOP counter offensive on his website.

Some pud-pounder from the Black Chamber of Commerce is accusing Barbara boxer of being a racist.

Remember, all those years of outrage from the right about how accusations of racism were offensive and stifling to debate.

Now they scream racism at the drop of a cracker.

The white man will rise again!

Just reeks. You’ve got a chapter on Linda Chavez, probably, don’t you?
