JohnRich 4 #1 June 13, 2008 A thank-you letter from Barack Obama: My fellow Americans: As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record, while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change. I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency, after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing. I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamor behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra-marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively. And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House. Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folks to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt. I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them. Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart. So when you go to vote, remember, don't think, just do. And do it for me. Thank You. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may wish to look at Title 32, 313 - it could be argued that former members of the military are eligible up to age 64. *Edit - Regardless, there is no legal requirement that I have ever heard of or seen mentioned in various places that SPECIALIZE in issues concerning constitutional law connected to the 2nd Amendment that even come CLOSE to bringing any sort of argument into play in regards to invalidation due to age.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

quade 4 #11 June 14, 2008 QuoteThe inference in your first post that the only militias that Scooby or JR could belong to would be 'illegal' is, frankly, disgusting. Yeah, so why would YOU do that? Or do you also not understand what the word "infer" means? What -I- was speaking about was that at least JR, but certainly a lot of folks that read this thread (possibly including Scooby I dunno, but definitely not Amazon) don't meet the qualifications for the "unregulated militia" implied by Article 1 Section 8 of the United States Constitution. Further, that should have been perfectly clear to anyone that followed the like to the article on Wikipedia I had placed. If you want to infer that somehow means they'd then naturally join domestic terrorist groups masquerading as phony state militias, then yes, that certainly is shameful of you. While I may disagree with a lot of what JR has ever said, I do not consider him to be a domestic terrorist.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #12 June 14, 2008 Why? Maybe your attitude towards those that see the preservation of the 2nd Amendment as a key issue. It's not so far a stretch to believe that someone who likes calling gun owners "rambo" and other derogatory terms would also believe that the same gun owners would go to some sort of 'illegal' militia.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

That's certainly reassuring... care to explain how you came to the conclusion that an unorganized militia as noted in USC 10 would be illegal - or how voluntary association with said militia, even though outside of the normal range limits, would be illegal?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
