The Foundation

“To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, counties or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws.” – John Adams

Conservative Talkers

Brian Darling | Kagan Bad On Guns

“President Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court,” I wrote in HUMAN EVENTS on June 3, 2009, “owes the American people an explanation on her view of the 2nd Amendment.”

The nominee then was Sonia Sotomayor, who never provided an explanation. Now, with the choice of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, President Obama is two for two in selecting Supreme Court nominees with an apparent strong hostility to the right of self-defense.

And it’s only fair that Kagan now be held to the “Kagan Standard.”

Frank Gaffney | The President’s New Clothes

On Tuesday, May 18th, President Obama will formally begin one of the greatest bait-and-switch operations since the fabled “Emperor’s New Clothes.” With high-profile appearances before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by his Secretaries of State and Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he will try to persuade Senators to vote for the defective New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START).

The real agenda is different, and worse, however: It is about getting buy-in from legislators for the President’s policy of global denuclearization – for which New START is said to be an important building block.
