LDC Calls Out VP Nominee Root On His Chronic Foreign Policy Flip Flopping And Hand Gun Hypocrisy

By Kevin Bjornson.

I could understand why Root would swing to the left on foreign policyin order to secure the LP nomination. But now that he is a nominee,why does he continue to say the US shouldn't be involved in war in Iraq?

Even if all Americans were allowed to have firearms (including thoseconvicted under unjust laws), that would only help for personalprotection against armed robbers and other non-governmentalaggessors. The day when militias could be a counter-weightagainst government, or contribute significantly to national defense, are long gone.

If the US military were defeated in the global war on Jihadists,most likely by the kind of withdrawals Root seems to beendorsing, having firearms in private possession does seema rather desperate idea for defense against this threat, don't you think?

For Immediate Release:
Supreme Court Gun Rights Decision
Libertarian VP Nominee ROOT Applauds
June 26, 2008 - Las Vegas, Nevada

Wayne Allyn Root, Libertarian Vice Presidential nominee has
announced his support of the US Supreme Court's historic
decision today. Our Supreme Court Justices have decided in
favor of firearm rights for all Americans.
Root, an enthusiastic gun owner himself, believes all law
abiding Americans should have the right to keep and bear
arms to protect themselves, their families and property.
Root stated, “As a Jewish American, I understand the
importance of gun rights. The first thing Adolph Hitler did
before arresting, imprisoning, torturing and murdering millions
of Jews - including my relatives - was to take their guns away.
The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right of
all Americans. That's why I'm a proud member of the Gun
Owners of America (GOA) and Jews for the Preservation
of Firearms Ownership (JPFO).”
"It's also why I'm a Libertarian"
Root continued, “This decision upholds the precious Second
Amendment of our Constitution protecting the rights of all gun
owners and Americans. As our Founding Fathers intended."
It should now be clear that power-hungry politicians and over-
reaching bureaucrats can't disarm the law-abiding Americans...
No matter where they live, no matter the color of their skin.
As Americans, we all have the same unalienable right to
defend ourselves and our families.
Urban areas with stringent gun control laws have far higher
crime rates, than where rights of gun owners are protected.
Now, citizens of Washington, D.C. will have the same right
to defend themselves as other law-abiding Americans across
this great land.
The Supreme Court has unequivocally stated that power- as
per the Constitution- does not belong to Big Brother, it
belongs to us. We, the American people.
"This proves once again this is the greatest nation in history.
"God Bless America.”
