I also thought Alan was using spirited banter based on the title and content of the thread. But then, I always enjoy the spirited banter on "The Peggy and Alan Show" (theme songs and lyrics to the tune of the Ichy and Scratchy Show from the Simpsons). I enjoy tuning in every week ;-)!

For myself, as a democrat and a gun owner, I personally thought the first article was pretty out there and way off the mark. Certainly not what I have seen of both republicans or other gun owners. Maybe I just run with the wrong crowd :-)!

Humm....not sure what links you are talking about, but the first link I posted was to some republicans putting anti-sharia laws in their platform, as if ANYONE was trying to put sharia law into OUR laws. And the second link was to the Wisconsin republican legislature passing mandatory vaginal ultrasounds for all the (apparently) stupid women in that state Who don't know what pregnancy means.
I was trying to point to the irony of these republicans who fear monger about something that isn't/never will happen, then force their own brand of 'sharia law' on the women of Wisconsin.
Oh, and it wasn't just some slippery slope, maybe could happen, snarky post/link. Nope, the really scary thing is, this actually is happening. Right here in the good 'ol US. Women, subjected to an invasive body probe, against their will, in order to get a legal, safe medical procedure.

Not sure where you got guns from that, but I do find it incredibly ironic that we have long, drawn out discussions about WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THIS AND THAT HAPPENS, and look out cause Obama/NSA/Justice department just might do this awful thing if this happens and this happens and this happens...yet here is a truly invasive, civil rights sucking, Taliban emulating bit of legislation that actually happened, and it gets immediately brushed off and diverted to guns or kitten eating or something. Unbelievable.

But, hey, why talk about something that has actually happened when it is so much more fun to speculate on how the NSA is going to send armed IRS agents to your house after Obama has droned you in the coffee shop.
