For the President of the United States to look the American people in the eye and say, well, we got a pay freeze in place while you are getting bonuses and going on trips is totally unacceptable.

It is totally unacceptable.

I support them. I won't chip away at them. I believe they help to protect us and provide for our safety, but I want our law-abiding citizens likewise to have the right to purchase and use a weapon for hunting and other purposes.

This administration's attack on freedom extends to rights explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution. The right to bear arms is so plainly stated, so unambiguous, the liberals have a hard time challenging it directly. Instead, they've been…
