Preparing for Pelosi

You'd better inform the folks of Britain and Australia. Apparently, they consider themselves to be quite free.

Of course, we all may misperceive such matters. Which brings us to the notion of what might appall them about America and the ways in which Americans are not free which they have no inkling of. Are you prepared to direct your thoughts down that path?

But you have a standing army and a military industrial complex that will not allow any other eventuality than active militarization. So how does the original idea apply?

I can understand the attraction of weapons. But necessary in the senses you suggest? That is a uniquely American notion. And it ain't all Americans who believe it so.

To the point in question...

U.S. Rank on Press Freedom Slides Lower

Northern European countries top the index, with no reported censorship, threats, intimidation or physical reprisals, either by officials or the public, in Finland, Ireland, Iceland and the Netherlands. All of those countries were ranked in first place....

Although it ranked 17th on the first list, published in 2002, the United States now stands at 53, having fallen nine places since last year.

"Relations between the media and the Bush administration sharply deteriorated after the president used the pretext of 'national security' to regard as suspicious any journalist who questioned his 'war on terrorism,' " the group said.

"The zeal of federal courts which, unlike those in 33 U.S. states, refuse to recognize the media's right not to reveal its sources, even threatens journalists whose investigations have no connection at all with terrorism," the group said.

Both Nancy Pelosi and the UN want to take away everyone's assault weapons.

I'd like to be able to tell cjsha that the NRA will successfully defend our Constitution from Nancy Pelosi and the UN. However, I cannot see into the future to know they'll be successful.

These are trying days for American freedom.

Because my Browning shotgun is an assualt weapon by Pelosi's and other gun grabber's definitions.

Been to a Gander Mountain or Cabela's lately? Seen the cool stuff you can buy?

Ok - I'll bite. Can you tell me - specifically, not in some flowery rhetoric about some potential slippery slope - why do you need assault weapons?

Why is your Browning shotgun an assualt weapon? What model is it?

Did you cut the stock off or something? Because nothing in the present Browning catalogue would be classified as an assault rifle.
