Tonight, I watched a rerun of The A-Team — which show I never watched as a child — and found myself laughing out loud. You are asking why I laughed out loud and I shall tell you. Murdock’s t-shirt sported the following aphorism: “GOD, GUNS, AND GUTS made America. Let’s keep all three.”

It is surely thought-provoking; and although an incomplete statement, it is true.  God and guns were obviously important to the founders. Among other evidences of this, I submit the first two amendments to the U.S. Constitution. And guts? Well, signing the Declaration of Independence took guts.
