Castle Argghhh has some interesting posters up, emphasizing the words of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the right to bear arms. He also quotes from an Associated Press article:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, recalling how her father took up arms to defend fellow blacks from racist whites in the segregated South, said Wednesday the constitutional right of Americans to own guns is as important as their rights to free speech and religion.
In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Rice said she came to that view from personal experience. She said her father, a black minister, and his friends armed themselves to defended the black community in Birmingham, Ala., against the White Knight Riders in 1962 and 1963. She said if local authorities had had lists of registered weapons, she did not think her father and other blacks would have been able to defend themselves.
Condi for President in 2008! Especially if Hillary gets the Democratic nomination: wouldn't that be an election campaign for the history books?
