Fear
Fear the government that fears our guns. We (not me) have elected a man who does not believe in our Constitution.

Invading random countries under the pretense of a total lie that they had weapons which they didn't have, and continuing a war for 6 years without even having a stated purpose, that's defending the Constitution? Doubling the size of government, doubling government spending, exponentially increasing the power of the executive branch, that's defending the Constitution? You're a genius! Of course Obama's the real threat to the Constitution! |

RACHEL:
What is the big deal about guns? Protection w/ regard to your specific situation? Besides, what about the right of forming militias, because 200 years ago we had a small army and a sheriff? Piece, TAL |

Democracy?
Does anybody here believe we still have a Democracy in this country? The economic meltdown dramatically demonstrates that we have lost control of our government. For example: Freddy mac spent millions lobbying to prevent regulation of its activities. Without regulation we have become a lobbyoctracy. Can Obama restore some semblance of fairness in our government remains to be seen. In my neighborhood, homeless people are breaking into foreclosed homes to find shelter. The Republican principle of deregulation (unlimited greed) and "free" markets (job losses) is the basis of this debacle. A lot of Democrats went along with it for the financial goodies involved.
Lots of great comments! Lets keep going.

guns
It is a very big deal to 60 million Americans. And it's not just about the Second Amendment. It's about ALL the Amendments. If they manage to take that one away which one will be next?

It wasn't just a lie; it was using 9/11 to justify the action, while portraying dissenters like myself as anti-American traitors. Plus, Chaney, Rummy & Wolfie drew up a paper in 1997 that said the only way to attack Iraq, and get Saddam--to finish what was started in '91--was for a Pearl Harbor type attack to occur. BTW, that 3rd one wasn't puffy to me, it was enticingly innocent. More Kisses for you, TAL |

What about ALL the constitutional abortions of the current occupant of The WH? Like wiretapping? From what I've heard Army guys cannot refer to their rifle as a gun. If they make that mistake in boot camp, they have to run naked around the base w/ one hand holding their rifle, and the other holding their cock. They have to sing this is my rifle, this is my gun; this is for shooting, this is for fun. Piece, TAL |

Well that sucks. My IQ was only 147 when I took the test.
IQ is a joke, though, and I've certainly never brought up my IQ to try and defend my position on anything. You could have an IQ of 200 if you were 6 and tested at a 12-year-old level, but you could spend the rest of your life not learning a thing, so then you're a "genius" who's as smart as a 12-year-old. As far as your statements are concerned, it doesn't matter what you got on any IQ test. Your logic is flawed. How can you even bring up the Constitution and defend Bush? They could ban all guns today and it still wouldn't be as gross a violation of the Constitution as the Patriot Act was. For the record, I live in Dayton, Ohio, and I keep a 20-gauge by my bed and often carry a 9mm. If you actually look at what the 2nd Ammendment is saying, though, it's not really about personal protection. It's about average citizens being armed to protect a "free state," meaning the tyranny of a corrupt government. I certainly don't agree with the theory that the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply because we don't need a militia. All politicians are corrupt, but certainly Obama can't be as corrupt as Bush. You are a complete fool if you thought it was a good idea to vote for a Republican who is OK with Bush burning the entire Constitution just because you think Obama wants to take your guns away. That is not true. Obama has never spoken out for gun control. He never made much of an issue out of it. When he was pressed to make a statement, Obama said: "I think it's important for us to recognize that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respect the Second Amendment and people's traditions." Gun control isn't the most important issue in the world. In case you didn't notice, we actually have less gun control than we had a few years ago. Obama is for the states having control over gun issues, and it is because of that kind of a policy that I was able to get a carry permit in Ohio. So I've got four guns, I've got 33-round magazines for them, I've got hollow-point ammo that isn't legal to use in a war but is legal for me to carry. My shotgun is basically sawed-off, with an 18" barrel and a pistol grip, and that's perfectly legal. It cost me $75 for a concealed carry permit. A friend of mine just told me that it only cost him $200 to get a permit to use a silencer. Who the hell needs that??? But it's legal. And you're worried about gun control? Then go buy an assault rifle while you can, psycho. Of course, I think people who say Obama is going to fix all the problems in the country are totally ignorant, too, but that's a different story... Quote:
You honestly think Bush didn't do anything wrong? He started a war! He started a war under a totally false pretense. He put people in charge like Rumsfeld who directly defied the Pentagon over and over again when they told him what they would have to do to accomplish anything in Iraq. He supported people like Cheney who funneled most of the money going to Iraq into a company which he owns stock in. He demanded that this recent $2 trillion in handouts would have absolutely no oversight and nobody can be prosecuted for using those funds illegally. You want to talk about destroying the Constitution? Do you know what an interpretive signing statement is? Basically, every time Congress passes a bill and gives it to Bush, he doesn't just pass it. He doesn't just veto it (then they could push it through with another vote). He rewrites it himself with a signing statement, which amounts to him interpreting it himself and saying that anything he doesn't like doesn't apply. Bush has written over 100 signing statements re-interpreting over 1,000 laws. Quote:

What's this about a "knockout shot"? Wouldn't that require an actual rebuttal? The only knockout was what your witty ad hominem did to your credibility. And then you "lol" me? You sound like a 14-year-old boy who spent too much time listening to his pickup-drivin' lifetime-NRA-membership-havin' dad. You don't even have an argument, just a couple things you've heard other people say which you don't understand and can't defend. If you are TS, up your spiro and use that brain of yours. That's fine if you're a Republican, but don't you have anything to say besides bragging about your IQ and about Clinton being impeached? That makes about as much sense as arguing that Obama is stupid because he's black and Flavor Flav is a fuck-up. |

Errrr.... And where's the logic in that? If a president is a bad president, he shouldn't get any support, no matter who he is. It's a simple as that.

Yes, I've been arrested. I don't know an American tgirl who hasn't been. And I said probation officer, not parole officer. I've never gotten a felony. I can still vote and pass a background check. This isn't even relevant, though. You've really raised the bar by pressing the issue. I've never met a bigot tranny before. This thread is about politics, and you still haven't said a single thing to defend the political nonsense you've posted here. You like to respond by going totally off topic. You're confused if you think that makes you look smart. Quote:
How's it feel to support a president who says the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to the LGBT community? Are you some kind of self-loathing transsexual?

where do you stand politically
[QUOTE=racquel;54375]Why don't you look at the context in which I said "psycho" and see if you can refute any of it?
This was the topic. Where do I stand. I gave a view, an opinion. I do not have to defend my views to you or anyone else. You however started with the name calling. Whatever context you think it is or was doesnt matter. I posted in this thread and you go on the attack as you do in other threads. Do me a favor... Dont reply to my posts and I wont reply to yours ok? |

I don't believe in the 2 party system. Lots of people here in Europe say that in America people have 2 options, to vote right (Democrats) or to vote far right (Republicans).
It's so bad, you can't express your true opinion if you only have 2 options. Besides, I hope you know, politics don't matter too much, 'cause politics are decided by economics nowadays. Do you think there's a real difference between Obama and Mc Cain? Go search for the companies that are paying their campaings!!! Yes, you could say I'm far right. But I'm not communist (despite I want to practice sexual communism :P) nor a socialist, just a dreamer. |

I am a nationalist and I belongs to a party called Sverigedemokraterna, we believe in freedom and the idea of folkhemmet which I cannot explain in detail here you can however read about it on wikipedia if you wish, the concept originated by the early socialdemocrats but they have corrupted it later on, and we do not think that islamism is the greatest thing there is unlike most of our members of parliament, we also do not think that EU is good for Europe.
We believe that immigration should be restricted to a level that the country can absorb. Because of this every other party in the country hates us and call us nazis, racists and so on but we are almöst certain to enter parliament in the elections 2010, all the polls show this. I do however have a big problem with communism, that in part have something to do with the fact that I did spend time in an EastGerman prison in 1989, one other thing is that they have killed about 100 million people over the years.

I'm a very moderate democratic socialist. Overall, first and foremost, I am moderate, unbiased, and objective. I am this way with my daily activities and my philosophy on life. Some of the things I like to research as a hobby such as history, religion, and sociology, I take the same approach to avoid being extreme, intolerant, unfair, and ignorant to what's actually there. But, I have a natural tendency to prefer a slightly socialist viewpoint most of the time. Looking back at ancient history, if I'm not mistaken, places that became major forces like Egypt, West Africa, Moorish Empire, Persia, Arabia, India, China, Greece, and Rome were more socialist than anything else. So there's no reason for anyone to try to demonize that type of government. Any kind of government can go to hell if it's not done properly and if it goes TOO FAR to the left or right. Something too liberal, conservative, socialist, or capitalist winds up running into problems because you put all of your eggs in one basket. Look at what's happened in the USA.

Yeah, all those socialist programs like CRA and over spending finally caught up to us. Perhaps if we repeat those mistakes magnified by several orders of magnitude it will get better.
