Even the 18th?

  DEFINITELY not fond of that one. And “educated” is pretty vague, a LOT vaguer than, oh, say….. “atheist”. “Graduated from Hogwarts” – now THAT’S pretty specific.

  I’m pretty sure he meant ALL of the billy of rights. At least thats what I’m goin’ with.

  Don’t take it so literally. Sorry he couldn’t fit his entire political dogma on a sheet of printer paper.
  
  Even if he supported the 18th Amendment, that means he also supports the 21st Amendment.
  
  The fact that they even decided they needed to pass an Amendment is actually a good thing. Now they just use the ever expanding “Commerce” clause to regulate everything from Wheat and Weed to guns.

Support ALL the amendments!

  Threads like this would be a lot more fun if we could directly embed meme pictures.

I dunno… not a huge fan of the 16th myself

From the ones being posted, one would think that over half of gun owners were atheists. It seems statistically anomalous. (Not that I have anything against atheists owning guns.) Maybe they pick those in order to show that gun owners don’t fit a stereotype?

  As an atheist myself (see what I did there?) it seems to me like a very effective way to explicitly counteract the popular stereotype that the typical American gun owner is an overweight white male fundamentalist Christian.

    another atheist checking in 😉

      And another.

      Me too.

      I’ll sixth that.
    - AlphaGeek February 7, 2013 At 02:42
      
      That was genuinely heart-warming, folks.
      
      The soulless titanium mechanism that I use as my heart has doubled in temperature from 10 Kelvin to 20 Kelvin!

      I LOLd hard at your comment, alpha.
      Another Athiest reporting in.

how is it possible to support both the 18th and the 21st?
- AlphaGeek February 7, 2013 At 01:53
  
  With about 3 extra seconds of thought, which says that “supporting all of the amendments” only applies to those which are in effect, not those which have been repealed. {sigh}

Thanks for speaking out, Joe!

Hi Joe, A fellow heathen (just kidding), good to see you here, Randy

Welcome Joe. At least you ain’t a damned ukelele player.
- AlphaGeek February 7, 2013 At 02:30
  
  That we know of. I’m suspicious. Get a rope.
  - jwm February 7, 2013 At 02:34
    
    After Gwen and her paddle, I guess the rope was bound to make it to the party.
    - AlphaGeek February 7, 2013 At 02:40
      
      Admit it. You’re going to be dreaming of Gwen and her paddle for weeks.
    - jwm February 7, 2013 At 02:44
      
      I admit nothing. Talk to my lawyer, Ralph. He says we got a good defense. I was visiting a freind in the hospital that had just burned his boy bits in a horrific flare gun mishap.
      
      That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
