Let us hear it for the liberal media and their attempt to revise history

I was very disappointed with the wording of the headline in the June 29 La Crosse Tribune “Supreme Court justices extend gun owner rights nationwide”.   

The word ‘extend’ according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary means to increase the scope, meaning, or application of.   The headline implies that the Supreme Court has increased the rights of gun owners.

The Supreme Court merely confirmed that the 2^nd amendment really does mean that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.   The gun ban in Chicago was certainly an infringement of our right as a U.S. citizen.

Also, we should all remember that the purpose of the Bill of Rights is to tell the government what it cannot do.

How opinions are formed

      
A conservative forms their opinions on facts.   If new facts are presented, a conservative will examine the new facts and if they warrant a change of opinion, will do so.

A liberal forms their opinions on emotions.   If new facts are presented, a liberal will not likely change their opinion because they are excessively invested in their emotions.

Citizens who don't pay Federal Income Tax (unfortunately now a slight majority) don't have any 'skin in the game' other that what they peel off my back.

Real Help

Can anyone tell me why liberals are so against helping those who really need help?

There is only so much money to go around and liberals are satisfied with diluting the funds that should go to those who need help by giving an equal amount to those to merely want help.   This means that those who really need the help to become self sufficient are held back.

I know it is hard work to determine who really needs the help, but if they don't want to do the hard work, then they should stay out of the game.

Maybe they are afraid that someone (or some group) will not like them or they are scared of being seen as insensitive?

I don't get it!

REPORTER:   Can you tell me your understanding of the direction of the U.S. economy?

OBAMA:   It's all Greek to me.
