Ohio: We have a problem

Representative Mike Loychik

America was founded on God and guns. If you don’t like that, you don’t like America.

1. I Don't like God. Don't like guns.But I'm a better American than any hundred of these guys

And I have no doubt about it.

[KS Toronado]

4. I disagree, you're not "better American than any hundred of these guys"

Walleye, you're a better American than a thousand of those guys. And I have no doubt about it.
Have always enjoyed your remarks on DU, we think a lot alike.

[Walleye]

9. Thank you. A wonderful kindred spirit

[walkingman]

6. My man, I so agree.

2. If you have to twist the truth into knots

like that, you don't like America

[kimbutgar]

3. I seem to remember that our constitution said separation of church and state and a well regulated

Militia. nothing about guns guns guns for everyone.

5. #1: America was not founded on God. A motion to include god in the constitution was voted down.

#2: The second amendment was included for arguable reasons. One was to allow expansion by killing objecting Indian tribes and secondly, so militias hunting escaped slaves could better intimidate or kill them. I've not heard of instances of early Americans carrying around pistols or muskets and shooting over a.difference of opinion...tarring and feathering seems to have been the retaliation of choice and that looks pretty barbaric through modern eyes. I doubt it would pasd muster in a court today. Giving Americans a license to kill hardly seems like a valid reason nowadays.

10. These F**kers are both stupid and dangerous.

Yes, we had to fight to gain our freedom, and yes, the founding fathers had a strong belief in God.
But the God and guns BS is just that, BS.
Show me where any of our founding fathers equated belief in God with carrying guns. There was a separation of church and state built into the Constitution to protect against such moronic ideas. As Jesus said, "Render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, and to God the things that are God's".

And, I do like America, with God, but without all those guns.

11. I would say 'God and taxes'

Some of the original thirteen colonies were founded partly as refuge from religious persecution. All of them were founded primarily for profit.

The reason those colonies rebelled and formed a new nation was taxes...not religion and not guns.

15. The Founding Fathers were all businessmen and wealthy landowners...

The "businessmen" were largely smugglers circumventing British restrictions on commerce and the "landowners" were largely wealthy slave holders who feared a growing abolitionist movement in Great Britain at the end of the 18th Century.

20. As rapacious as a horde of locusts

[Diamond_Dog]

12. This is the same jackass

Who wanted to re-name the lake in our county after Trump. He is a miserable cretin.

[ok_cpu]

13. The race to the bottom in my state is embarrassing. n/t

[we can do it]

14. Just one?

[Solly Mack]

17. Evidence of someone who was either home-schooled by idiots or someone who was absent from class

a lot, or someone that simply went to a really bad school.

Because he sounds like he got his education from the "history" and "civic" lessons that charter school in Tennessee use, that you posted about earlier.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Can he show me the documentation on that?

[Nevilledog]

19. It's in the King James Version Constitution.

[PittBlue]

22. The Ohio legislature is full of assholes.

We live here...I know.🙄

[LuckyCharms]

23. God and Guns!! The best combination since...

Ginger Ale and skim milk!

[keithbvadu2]

24. Which God? The singular God or the three part God?
