    "Over the last fifteen months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states, I think — one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to … my staff could not justify it."

    [QUOTE=Eager Beaver;882942]You missed Kennedy's
    "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". EB
    Just what any statist will ask of their citizens implying that the only justification for your existence is from what you can do for your country and that the individual's life doesn't belong to the individual to live as he see fit but to exist to serve the collective whims. That Kennedy statement was atrocious.

    Now here is some spot on food for thought.

    1. "Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." ~Thomas Jefferson

    2. Those who trade liberty for security have neither. ~John Adams

    3. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

    4. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is
    a subject.

    5. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.

    6. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

    7. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.

    8. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

    9. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

    10. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

    11. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

    12. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights Reserved.

    13. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.

    14. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you NOT understand?

    15. Guns have only two enemies; rust and politicians.

    16. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

    17. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

    Mr.Don, I'm at work. I'm sitting in a Comfort Inn in Corinth Ms. I'm just a few miles north of ole Jeff. I think I'm going to go to his house today and steal a few chickens.

    You two birds have all the money you need; how about saving some for us.
