2nd Amendment Remedies
Some TEA Party/Republican Party candidates and some Republicans
already in Congress have made controversial comments to stir up their
base. Some have said that if the conservatives can't take over Congress
or 'take back their country' that they may have to resort to "Second
Amendment Remedies". The Second Amendment only discusses weapons and
militias. Nothing else! When asked what they mean by "Second Amendment
Remedies", the candidates evade the question. Many of us have been
appalled as have some people in the media, although most elected
Republican officials that I have heard interviewed on TV don't seem to
worry about or want to condemn the remarks.
Should we be concerned about the veiled threats? Are they just threats?
Or is it a policy long in place, previously unsanctioned, becoming
sanctioned?
Was the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. an example of "Second
Amendment Remedies"?
Was the assassination of JFK an example of "Second Amendment Remedies"?
Was the assassination of Bobby Kennedy an example of "Second Amendment
Remedies"?
Was the assassination of Harvey Milk an example of "Second Amendment
Remedies"?
Was the assassination of Abraham Lincoln an example of "Second Amendment
Remedies"?
Let me know when you want me to stop.
More importantly, "Let them know that you want them to stop thinking
about and talking about "Second Amendment Remedies". Our country might
not survive any more "Second Amendment Remedies". Talking about "Second
Amendment Remedies" may be the free speech which ends free speech for
all of us.
Vote against the people who sanction thinking or talking this way on
November 2nd.
