16 January 2008

* From over at Fred08…
Gamecock at RedState liked what he heard at one of Fred’s radio town halls yesterday. Fred talked about the case involving Washington, D.C.’s gun control law that’s being challenged in the Supreme Court:

Asked his opinion of the Second Amendment and the Solicitor General’s request that the DC […]

By Fred Thompson
(Source, the Hawaii Reporter)
Here’s another reason why it’s important that we appoint judges who use the Constitution as more than a set of suggestions. On November 21, 2007, the Supreme Court decided to hear the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.
Six plaintiffs from Washington, D.C. challenged the provisions of the D.C. Code […]

CNN Tries a Gotcha: ‘Thompson Has no Hunting License’ But, SO WHAT!?

6 December 2007

CNN has posted a Political Ticker entry trying to create a “gotcha” on 2nd Amendment supporter, Fred Thompson. CNN’s South Carolina Producer Peter Hamby has breathlessly announced that “Thompson does not have hunting license,” but the question is… so what?

Thompson on Charlie Rose: Schooling on First Principles

6 December 2007

Here is a great video of Fred Thompson on the Charlie Rose Show. There is a segment in there where Fred schools Charlie on what the concept of real conservative first principles means.

Thompson: New York not Like the REST of the Country

24 November 2007

Fred Thompson has noticed that every time former New York Mayor Giuliani speaks he equates the debate on the issues to New York and what he did or didn’t do there. Of course, it is natural for Rudy to do that, admittedly. After all, that IS his experience and the basis for his campaign. But, […]

Jim Geraghty, NRO’s The campaign Spot
Going in, Rudy Giuliani was going to have a tall order to get a warm welcome from the NRA. Fred Thompson just made that harder by going up on the stage and giving a just about flawless performance.

22 August 2007

By Fred Thompson
When I was working in television, I spent quite a bit of time in New York City. There are lots of things about the place I like, but New York gun laws don’t fall in that category.
Anybody who knows me knows I’ve always cared deeply about the Second Amendment right to keep and […]

11 May 2007

Thompson supports our 2nd Amendment Rights… and throws in a little Times bashing for good measure…
Armed with the Truth, Fred Thompson on the 2nd Amendment
If you care about Constitutional law, and everybody should, the big news is that it looks as if the Supreme Court is going to hear a Second Amendment case some time […]

Fred Thompson and Educating the Uneducated

22 April 2007

This is my first commentary blog here at blogs for Thompson. I have recently started my own blogsite to help educate those who are skeptical of Thompson’s experience in government, when compared to the other candidates. The site is not a commentary site, really, although I occasionally do add a few points, but […]

Senator Thompson on the Virginia Tech Shootings

20 April 2007

Signs of Intelligence?
By Fred Dalton Thompson
One of the things that’s got to be going through a lot of peoples’ minds now is how one man with two handguns, that he had to reload time and time again, could go from classroom to classroom on the Virginia Tech campus without being stopped. Much of the answer […]
