Max was heard muttering to Paul Nixon 
 about A Slap In The Face 
 (you are responding to a cross-post, I'm neither advocating nor
 repudiating the expressed sentiment)
 
 PN> I still maintain that sending Bill Clinton back to the White House for 
 PN> another term would be disastrous for us as a free country. He would so 
 PN> infect the federal judiciary with activist liberal judges that we'd be 
 PN> *decades* in cleansing the bench. 
 ML> 
 ML> ....snip....   
 ML> 
 PN> The Republican Party needs a good reality slap upside the head. Maybe 
 PN> that slap should be in the form of GunOwners telling the Republican 
 PN> Party to go **** *itself*. 
 ML> 
 ML> This would be, IMHO, a classic case of cutting one's nose off to
 ML> spite  one's face.    
 If we have Clinton and his ilk openly attempting to ban firearms, and
 we have the other bunch willing to ban 'em but more slowly...
 ...which is more likely to cause us to finally draw a line in the sand?
 ...which is more likely to cause us to accede to just one more
 incremental loss of freedom?
 ML> 
 ML> I agree with the sentiment 100%, but I believe your first paragraph
 ML> is  the key. If Clinton is re-elected, the country will be so screwed
 ML> up it may  never recover. Yes, gun rights are vital, but so is the
 ML> overall well being  of the country. Any damage done to the RTKBA by
 ML> Dole will be will minor  compared to what Clinton will do to both the
 ML> RTKBA and the country as a  whole.
 I'm about convinced that it's only a matter of time.  And the longer we
 wait the tougher it's gonna be.
 Frankly folks I'm convinced that Clinton is gonna be reelected.  I'm
 further convinced that there will occur _some_ sort of crisis that will
 precipitate the government to move to place restrictions on many of our
 rights, not just the RKBA, and there's gonna be a backlash.
 Now _do_not_ get the idea I'm advocating such, or wanting it.  I'm too
 damn old to go to the mattresses.  But I'm certain it's gonna get even
 more interesting.
 And one of the aggravating factors is gonna be that we won't pull
 together.
 ML> The entire United States, not just gun owners, can not afford
 ML> another 4  years of Bill Clinton as president. 
 Agreed.
