Second Amendment News Roundup for 8/29/08

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

From Codrea's War on Guns:
*'Palin'--David comments on McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, and I agree it is a great political choice. In addition, gun rights folk will love her.
*'Meanwhile, Back in Bloomberg Paradise'--'the Bastard's' Gotham City has an AIDS rate that is 3 times the national rate.
*'About Last Night'--it's official--the Democrats will enact more gun control if they get elected, particularly 'assault weapons' bans.

JR believes that McCain's choice of Sarah Palin is good news. I agree.

Sebastian also weighs in on the choice of Palin.

The Countertop Chronicles delineates the various reasons why Palin is an excellent choice for McCain, not the least of which is her appeal to female voters who are not extremist Leftists!

National Review, the venerable conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley, Jr. in the late 1950s, has a glowing report concerning Palin from a conservative perspective. In short, conservatives, including the religious right, are going to love Sarah Palin.

ROFL! Just wait till you see the Greek god-o-bama coming out of his Temple over at Michelle Malkin's place. And then note what Obama and his glazed-over, automaton worshippers said about Sarah Palin.

John Lott reports that the various polls show that Obama-Biden got a VERY small bounce from Barack's speech last night. McCain predicted a 15-point bounce. They actually got about 4 points...very small for an after-the-convention bounce. And it's no wonder. The liberal extremists are having a terribly hard time connecting with mainstream America.

Nicki has the MUST-read of the day. She rips to shreds Obama's speech last night as only she can. And if this is the short version (her first draft got eaten by the goblins of the Internet/computer world), I would have LOVED to have read that first version!

From Mike McCarville:
*'Palin Charges into the National Spotlight' --this gal is dynamite!
*'Palin is Right on the Second Amendment'--she and her husband both are avid hunters and gun-rights activists.
*'Palin--GOP Maverick and Reformer'--this lady backs down for NOBODY and is a true go-getter! She attacks and routs out corruption in government, even if it effects the old guard in the GOP...yet she is a true Reagan conservative--guns, God, pro-life, low taxes, limited government.
*'The Gadfly Eats his Words'--Mike gives a personal word on McCain and his ability to make sensible, solid choices--not exactly the same impression Mike had before.

Gateway Pundit reports that ex-President Jimmy Carter, failure extraordinaire and one of Barack Obama's mentors, is saying that John McCain is 'milking' his POW experience in Viet Nam. No, he hasn't. Actually he has said little about it except for the one Viet Cong soldier who respected McCain because he was a Christian. Funny how in spite of the fact that Carter is a Christian, I have ZERO respect for him!

Breda has an affinity for a chic with a gun. And that means...well, read it and see!

Uncle comments on the experience issue, comparing Obama with Palin.

An Ol' Broad's Ramblings has the cartoon of the day. Looks like somebody's been neutered! LOL!

Walls of the City has the quote of the day that I'm certain you will like.
