A very fortunate man indeed and in deed. Very few people could have lived his life. He made serious errors in his life, but has contributed mightily to his country. The NY Times reports on Nancy Reagan talking about how RR's warm relationship with TK and her own gratitude for…

I wonder at what point the pointy heads in the previous admin realized that they were not in a Jerry Bruckheimer film where basically anything goes if you wrap the flag around it? The rule of law is a b!tch, but it is what separates free societies from the terrorists.

I would have grabbed that gun right out of her cold damn hands and said "you don't deserve a gun"

Badsey that is rich. Who gave you the authority to decide which American citizen benefits from the American Constitution and who doesn't?

goldsounds define "victimless". Do you mean that the money and other material goods stolen in order to get more drugs did not create hardship for the person(s) who no longer had those things?

Badsy I have met many many Americans and many of them did not appear deficient between the ears (some did, but that's true everywhere). They also did not appear shy about standing up and making their views known. Certainly there are under-educated people in America, but with a little gumption…
