And that's another thing. This Fox news bullshit. Every single time a libby hears something he disagrees with he trots out that lame ass "quit listening to those lies on Fox News!" I do watch Fox news....and CNN and the BBC and Al Jazeera as well. I'm not debating "well regulated militias" as opposed to "the right of the people" with you because I know it's pointless. The 2nd amendment, according to the liberals the only one of 10 amendments designed to limit the power of government that actually limits the power of the people. No wonder the Constitution means so little anymore with you people pissing all over it. Congratulations, you've helped destroy the power of that document thus damaging all of our freedoms.
I've seen plenty of them working. They harvest crops, work construction, pave roads or anything where they need cheap labor. If it weren't for the flood of people from South of the border I don't know how all this stuff would get done. We'd probably have to make all the people on welfare go back to work.
The alternative to losing their right to vote is to be imprisoned for life. Felony convictions are supposed to be for heinous crimes. The problem now is how many relatively minor or victimless crimes are labeled a felony. I don't want a guy who rapes women to ever vote again but a guy who merely sold a few joints to a neighbor gets wiped with that same brush. The war on drugs has far too much collateral damage.
Being imprisoned means you have no right to privacy. The exception is the right to counsel and privileged communication with same. I believe that all of those people who's conversation with attorneys were recorded will eventually be victorious in court once this all comes out fully. It was a foolish thing for the prison to do.
I like all of the Constitution as literally written. That means the Bill of Rights as well including the 1st and 4th amendment and even the 2nd which the liberals despise. The liberals fail to realize that when they attack the parts of the Constitution they don't like such as the 2nd amendment they damage the defense of all of it. As one of those gun nuts I think we should all realize that this is what tolerance is all about. So what if I think gay marriage is a joke? I tolerate it because I want the protections of the Constitution as well. We need to stand together on all of our rights.
I spent 3 years in Germany while in the US air force. While I found the German people to be very friendly for the most part I did notice a decided antipathy towards foreign immigrants from Turkey. It sort of surprised me but then I thought about it and it pretty much paralleled how many people in the US act towards Mexican immigrants.
There is no question. The publisher is reacting to the change in license as well they should. Regardless of the motivation the license change violates their policy. What's the point of having a policy and then not following it?
The public must be protected at all cost. No matter how much money it takes or home much privacy we must lose it is imperative that the public be kept safe.
The main reason for all the secrecy is to hide corruption. They love the new laws that piss all over the Constitution. Can you imagine? Secret laws, secret warrants, secret courts and secret prisons. How is any of that part of a free society? George Washington would fucking shoot their asses.
When you're talking billions of dollars I think it might be possible to bypass the internet. I know I have two computers that never see the internet. Updates are done on one manually and the other never. It's entirely possible still to pass data over a telephone network with a modem. I just think when extreme secrecy is required then extreme actions need to be taken.
Why do they have this kind of stuff where it can be reached from the internet? I don't see why that's necessary. If it's convenient for the designers then it's too damn convenient for your enemies.
Mexico seems to be currently carrying on a mostly successful invasion of the US. Yes, Jordan and Egypt both decided to make peace and have stuck with it. Both have moderate governments and a largely moderate population. Peace is possible with people who are moderate. I think that pretty much sums it up. I'd hardly call Syria or Iran moderate. I believe extreme would be a more apt description. Israel was willing to give up land to Egypt in return for peace because they believed it was possible to have peace with Egypt. It's hard to sit down and talk with someone when the only thing the other party has to say is "Die!"
He's socially liberal. Personally I like some liberal policies. Getting rid of the "Patriot" act would be nice. Stopping the secret warrants would be nice. No more spying on people without a warrant at all would be nice. Sadly the President wasn't interested in any of that. He did champion many typical liberal projects though. Gay marriage, abortion and taxation are all interests he's pushed ahead. I suppose he's about as liberal as Bush Jr. was conservative. I don't know that the twisted mess that the Affordable Care Act became is actually a liberal act. I think it began as such but with the rush to shove it through without any actual thought about repercussions it became just one more huge bad government program when one special interest group after another got their claws into it. In the end it was just bad news. I think the original bill, while not good, would have been better.
The only thing keeping war at bay is the fact that currently Israel holds an overwhelming combat advantage against her current enemies. It isn't that long ago that missiles were falling upon Israeli cities. While that attack was mostly thwarted by their missile shield it shows that the only thing holding back the tide is military might. It's only a matter of time until Syria and Iran have their proxies try again. I'd like to believe that everything will work out but given attitudes in the region I don't see peace breaking out within the next few decades. Frankly I think war is most likely.
That's right. Iran is the place of enlightenment and peace. Amnesty international, NOT a right wing group by any possible stretch of the imagination had this to say about Iran.
"The authorities restricted freedoms of expression, association and assembly, arresting, detaining and prosecuting in unfair trials minority and women’s rights activists, journalists, human rights defenders and others who voiced dissent. Torture and other ill-treatment remained prevalent and were committed with impunity. Women and ethnic and religious minorities faced pervasive discrimination in law and practice. Flogging and amputation sentences were reportedly carried out, some in public. Executions continued at a high rate; juvenile offenders were among those executed. Judges continued to impose sentences of execution by stoning, although none were reported to have been carried out."
I wonder how there can be peace when a very large portion of the population do not want peace. At least not what I call peace. I suppose the total eradication of all opposition could be called peace by some. I see little call for a middle ground.
I don't see armed conflict as a resolution. Far from it. Surely you only picked one sentence and formulated the meaning outside the context. I see armed conflict as inevitable. I see no easy or simple solution to insane hatred in so large a portion of the population. For every step forward in the Middle East peace process there have been two backwards steps. The situation today is arguably worse than it was decades ago.
The funny thing is, the Jews in the US support Democratic policies and politics. The only place they ever have any friction is over the State of Israel. I do thank you for being consistent in your disdain. Most people who are anti-semitic fail to criticize the bat shit crazies on the other side. Maybe because it's so dangerous. The Jews lobby, the Islamics lob bombs.

You can have an opinion, just don't expect anyone to listen to it.

I know the joke at the local chicken processing plant was that they have over 200 immigrant workers and they all have the same SSN.

But they keep producing offspring. The next generation carry the torches.

I like Ike!
Treasonous? I'm not the one that paved the way for Iran to have nukes. Is that you Donald?
Maybe not. He's certainly anti-Israel though. He's undermined them at every turn.
