They lied! Gordon was supposed to take out BOTH of the lead cars.
Note the operative word is "bear" not "shoot."
No person should be allowed to possess an operative weapon except in their official capacity as a member of the militia (military or law enforcement).
In my nonage I learned the basic three "R's" at school; and at home, the fundamental three"R's:" Rights, Responsibility, and Respect. In my dotage I still stand when a lady enters the room, when the National Anthem is played, and when Our Flag is passing. I stand, not because I have the right not to, but because I have a responsibility to and a respect for my fellow citizens and Our Country. Those, like Smith and his parents, who ignore the other "R's" to insist upon their Rights may soon find they all are mutually inclusive. Without education, personal responsibility, and mutual respect there will be no Rights. I say Stand up; stand up for your rights or stay seated without them.
From time to time over the years we Americans have characterized our Presidents with some particular word or deed associated uniquely to each of them. From George Washington's "I cannot tell a lie" to Abe Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation; from Teddy Roosevelt's charge up San Juan Hill to Warren Harding's Teapot Dome; from Harry Truman's "The buck stops here" to Dick Nixon's "I am not a crook;" from John Kennedy's Bay of Pigs to Ronnie Reagan's Ollie Iran-Contra North; from Bill Clinton's blue dress to DUHbya Bush's pet goat.
One thing for certain that will not make the list is the ideological love affair of John McCain and Jane Fonda. John, the hero of the Hawks, and, Jane, the heroine of the Hippies, have hassled for years over the Happenings in Hanoi. Yesterday, Wednesday, February 6, 2008, John McCain finally admitted defeat and surrendered to his senility any integrity he had left. Ninetynine of our one hundred Senators held the courage of their convictions (although 41 should be convicted) and voted their feelings on the Economic Stimulus bill. John McCain purposely refused to vote after he had repeatedly promised to support the bill. McCain did not emulate Washington and tell the truth, did he follow Nixon's example of proclaiming his innocence, nor did he have Harry's backbone. He simply followed his inept, incompetent leader's example: he hid his head in the metaphorical sand and read his own version of his pet goat.
In spite of the spineless act of our Senior Senator I am still happy to live in Arizona. However, I suspect John would be happier if he could return with Jane to the Hanoi Hilton where he would only be required to lie about his name (Mud), rank (The rankest), and serial number (Number One traitor).

Wishful thinking on Obama's part. She ain't gonna lose and Obama will then be President of the Senate just like his cousin. The repukes make a big deal out of his middle name, when they should be looking farther up the family tree. Does this mean Dick, and they don't call him that because of his name, has Muslims for relatives?
