Anti-American is different than Un-American

An outstanding article at American Thinker (www.americanthinker.com) gives a short history about the nature of America and Americans, and of course, the Second Amendment is mentioned:

<blockquote>Unlike citizens at all other times and in all other places, Americans can protect these broad rights with firepower, because the Second Amendment grants them the right to bear arms on their own soil, a right entirely separate from the military's obligation to protect American citizens from foreign enemies. Given that the Second Amendment was ratified on the heels of a successful revolution, the Founders manifestly intended that Americans, protected by the military abroad, were free to protect themselves from their own government at home. (To appreciate this right fully, remember that one of the first things the Nazis did was to make private arms illegal, especially for Jews.) http://bit.ly/sksOL </blockquote>

This is one of those articles that I will print and stick to my fridge at home.
