]]> Comment on The Anti-Muslim Crusades Continue… by K. McDonough http://reasonandjest.com/blog/2010/08/the-anti-muslim-crusades-continue/comment-page-1/#comment-1817 K. McDonough Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:50:27 +0000 http://reasonandjest.com/blog/?p=4740#comment-1817 I'm going to throw your second paragraph back to you especially the word facts. Where do you get the emphatic numbers you toss out of hundreds of trousands? Before I will believe a statement like that I would need to see a flow chart, provience by provience of dead people and then demand documentation of how they died. Otherwise your writing is just another factless rant. I’m going to throw your second paragraph back to you especially the word facts.

]]> Comment on Yearning for the Good Old Days… by Bill Walker http://reasonandjest.com/blog/2010/07/yearning-for-the-good-old-days/comment-page-1/#comment-1780 Bill Walker Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:35:03 +0000 http://reasonandjest.com/blog/?p=4320#comment-1780 The author is incorrect regarding Article V. It requires a two thirds vote of both houses of Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution. There is no vote by Congress on a convention. It only requires two thirds applications by the states. (See www.foavc.org). You can also read the nearly 700 examples of applications from the states at FOAVC. The Congress must call if 34 states submit 34 applications. The author is incorrect regarding Article V.

]]> Comment on Politics or Principle by Sean http://reasonandjest.com/blog/2010/07/politics-or-principle/comment-page-1/#comment-1776 Sean Tue, 27 Jul 2010 01:52:40 +0000 http://reasonandjest.com/blog/?p=4293#comment-1776 You have expressed much of what I have been thinking and feeling for years. Thank you! Too few of us are willing to fully appreciate what a world of liberty means; it means a world of morality. The species isn't ready for it, yet. But keep writing things like this, and you'll be helping us get just a little bit closer. I have come to reject statism and statists. I refuse to vote any more. There is no such thing as limited government, unless you mean self government, limited by what is morally right. One day, we may be murdered for espousing such revolutionary ideas. It's only slightly worse than being murdered a little every day by a society that accepts the paradigm of polite violence that is the political reality we endure. I'm rambling now, so I'll stop. Thanks! I'll be coming back for more. You have expressed much of what I have been thinking and feeling for years. Thank you!

]]> Comment on More Guns, Less Crime by Al http://reasonandjest.com/blog/2010/06/more-guns-less-crime/comment-page-1/#comment-1739 Al Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:49:55 +0000 http://reasonandjest.com/blog/?p=3953#comment-1739 Your suggestion would make a great NEW amendment that I could 100% support. The Second Amendment speaks to the possibility that the people of our nation may need to rise up in armed opposition to tyranny in D.C. and should pretty much remain as is. The reason that there was no amendment directly protecting the natural right of each individual to self defense and the means to do so was enacted is because "everybody knows that!" and no special amendment should have been needed. As we see, that common knowledge and belief isn't so common anymore. Your suggestion would make a great NEW amendment that I could 100% support.
