Alan Colmes on Newt's Nonsense

Newt Gingrich says it’s not the Constitution that gives us the right to own a gun, it’s God.

Alan's response:

Isn’t it God who gives gays the right to be with whom they love? Don’t immigrants have the right to exist where they can thrive because that is a God-given right? Isn’t it God who gives women reproductive rights? Or are these last areas where the government is supposed to step in.
What's your opinion? Is it not a bit contradictory to say the right to own a pistol is god-given, but it's right for the government to limit women's reproductive rights?

These conservatives are full of contradictions, aren't they?

  1. Wow, what a novel concept that Newt has developed: the Constitution guarantees unalienable rights. Who would have thunk it?

  2. Well, it's the GOD of the KKKristianreich that guaratees the constitutional right (the only one that really matters; three guesses, first two don't count!).

    On the day when I rely on a piece of shit like Newt Gingrich to secure my rights then I will have entered the sad delusional world of the gunzloonz.

  3. Isn't it also a contradiction to say the opposite?

  4. Well, I was thinking. If it's a god-given natural human right to own a pistol, what other inanimate objects might the good lord have granted us as Rights? How about bicycles and refrigerators or nailclippers? What else, let's see, I couldn't possibly be happy without a pocket calculator.

    The list is endless. God is good.

    Yep, it's all in there under right to property.

  6. Wait a minute, I haven't heard about that "right to property" deal. Is that another one directly from god? Or does the Constitution cover it too? Or both?
