In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

Precisely.
Duffy,
In a October 2002 speech, Obomba "opposed" the war on the grounds that it was "dumb" and "rash".
The war's immorality he has always ignored, along with the anti-war movement.
In the same speech he weaseled 4 times, "I am not opposed to all wars". That was a harbinger of his 5 Senate votes to fund the same "dumb" and "rash" war, and his decisions as POTUS to prolong the Iraq war 3 years and Afghan war indefinitely.
To believe anything Obomba says, you gotta ignore a lot of what he does.
