I seriously wonder what we teach our kids in school today. For some reason, it appears that a vast majority of Americans don't seem to understand exactly who their elected officials are supposed to represent. Folks, we do not elect people to go to Washington or Raleigh or even to Asheville to represent the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. We elect people to represent their constituents. Period.
Suppose I choose to register as a Democrat and eventually get myself elected to Congress. I haven't been here two days and already someone has decided that it is time to make an assault on the Second Amendment to our Constitution. It seems that every "real" Democrat believes that guns are the root of all evil and that by eliminating guns, we would eliminate all forms of crime and strife in America. Perhaps I live in a more enlightened corner of our nation, but by and large, the vast majority of people living here realize that guns are no more responsible for crime than bananas.
The pundits, big-wigs and party faithful are circling the troops in DC in preparation for a heated battle on the floor of . Come stand in this corner son, your name tag says you are a Democrat and therefore, you must stand here with those of us that wish to outlaw guns.
