It didn't work. It's over. Let it go. I mean, by your own logic, what are you doing on a blog or reading books penned by guy a guy named "Massad" for if you find a guy named "Hussein" to be automatically disreputable? As for the "usurper" comment from "bignflnut", that is ridiculous. It wasn't valid when liberals said it about Bush, and it isn't valid now. People voted in free elections in the most free country in the world. He won. Suck it up. We all saw very well what happened to McCain's campaign, and I'll leave that topic there. I will respect the office and wait for this President to either make a good showing out of 2009 or fall on his face. Which it'll be is entirely up to him. As for the past being glorious lassez-faire and the present a new era of "socialism", well, come off it. The bailouts were well underway on Bush's watch, and he was a supporter of federal dabbling in the mortgage market. Some of our biggest, fattest companies have long been fed a diet of public dollars. Spending is already high. The banking industry changes have already happened. Let's be honest and realistic about the state of things. Ryan, the “Hussein” cheap shot thing has been done to death.

There are no cosponsors as of yet. The thing we should do now is keep an eye on it and if it moves any further it should be addressed and protested in mass. The key for the next 4 years is to be vigilant. The tactics of the politicians is to reintroduce the same legislation a few months later under a new name if it doesn’t pass the first time. This is an ongoing battle and we can’t relax, EVER! They are not going to and we can’t afford too either, there is no half way here... protect your rights or loose them! ~Brogan H.R.45

I learned about it here: http://wildcraft.gaelicmysts.com/2009/01/26/guns-gone-in-2009/ So how do we fight this? The Justices didn't tackle licensing and registration in their case in '08....that wasn't the point..... so now what? We can't all move to TX and hope they secede. ;-) How interesting – I was here to try to find out if anyone at BHM had any news as to whether the HR I saw today was legit – and here Brogan has kindly posted it as a comment already.
