What do a radical South Side Chicago priest who has demanded
that law-abiding firearms dealers and state legislators be
"snuffed out" and Chicago's political boss, who is "livid"
and "outraged" over the Supreme Court's recognition of the
Second Amendment, have in common?
Influence over Barack Obama.
In the case of Mayor Richard S. Daley - who heads the
toughest, most powerful urban political machine in the
nation - his early primary endorsement of freshman U.S.
Senator Obama's bid for the Democratic nomination for the
presidency requires a big political payback. And I suspect
that payback will involve our gun rights of Obama takes the
White House in November.
When the Supreme Court issued its historic landmark decision
in June striking down the District of Columbia gun ban as
violating the individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Mayor
Daley issued a five-minute diatribe.

Rude to Jim Cooper, a very nice person who is one of the most mild mannered
and thoughtful men I know. Almost embarassed by a one on one encounter.
That speaks volumes about you.
Master Kent . . . self proclaimed independent who would consider the whole
choice, and who is *not* a simple minded and obsessed a single issue voter
. . .
I'm sure the other choices in each election
-- Tom Kovach, Craig Schelske or
the unknown republican -- were all better choices than the Rhodes Scholar.

It is a descriptive term, Cyrus. Any disrespect is in your
interpretation. Speaking of respect, your sentence seems to imply
that I might not be relating the truth. What I stated was my
impression of his call and I have no reason to overstate my feelings
about his rudeness. I'm not narcissistic enough to believe that I'm
going to change anyone's mind here about the election.

Until I read your post, the WBtS had not entered my mind even
remotely. I didn't bring it up. You did. To me, the term "yankee"
does not in and of itself connote "war."
