If somebody criticizes what the Attorney General has to say, they are going to have to go back and confront in their own mind the fact that Samuel Adams proposed a right to keep and bear arms provision that was clearly individual. They will have to face all the other references that were quoted from the framers that made it clear that this was an individual right. This is not simply his opinion. This is what the framers intended. Stephen Halbrook
Constitutional scholar on a letter from U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft

Have you gotten a yes from Governor Bush yet?’Russert: ‘His campaign says he will debate you, and the request is under consideration.’Gore: ‘Well, how are you going to persuade him to say yes, Tim?’Russert:’Well, maybe you’re helping today.’Gore: ‘Well, do you think so? But what kind of approach – can you get [GE CEO Jack Welch, NBC’s owner] involved?’ Al Gore

When Governor Bush accepted this invitation in early September, the press tarred him with ‘ducking’ the debates because he agreed to be on Meet The Press, conveniently ignoring this exchange. Even ignoring that Gore said he would debate ‘any time, any where.’

Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition, and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery. James Fenimore Cooper
American Author (1789-1851)

The usual road to slavery is that first they take away your guns, then they take away your property, then last of all they tell you to shut up and say you are enjoying it. James A. Donald
