    Let me be very blunt - sometimes when someone dies, it's not a bad thing. I know this concept is hard, sometimes very foreign to people.

    Don't be so sure. Assholes will still argue BS. The robot is racist, or the guy running it is racist, or they have the wrong guy somehow... anything to put BS out there. Anything to try to get away with committing criminal acts.

    It was a violation of law. We know it is. They impeached/convicted a federal judge about two weeks before for doing the exact same thing. The Democrats feel they're above the law, or perhaps the law is for other people and their opponents.

    You're showing a complete lack of knowledge on what happened. When he made his statement he was testifying under oath in a Federal court and he lied. He lied and the stain shows us that he knew very well, no doubt about it, he knew it. That is what was illegal. Bill as well as Hillary know it. They're both lawyers.

    This is a very misunderstood part of that presidency. The media lied like hell to make people think it was about the sex part and not about lying in Federal court in a case. Of course, the real odd part is he should have told the truth. Warren Harding had an illegit kid while in office, admitted it and the whole thing went away.

    If she didn't have that dress, this conversation wouldn't even be this way. I bet you'd be saying nothing ever happened. Just like they'd have us believe with Paula Jones, others. Take a look, don't be fooled.

    I was surprised too. That historian also had a good set of facts to consider over abortion. However let's not get into that, one controversy at a time.

    Never the less we don't need to go that far back, though it certainly shows historical experience. They aren't gun nuts. Just do a lookup of cities and gun control and reference murder/crime stats. Chicago, Washington DC, those are your biggies, and they have the worst problem. Then go down the line to some cities that require gun ownership. For the most part they have no crime.

    BTW, if you look further you'll find that gun control is also racist. It's used to hold down minorities a great deal. So if you're for gun control, people might think you're also racist. Fits right in with the Democratic Jim Crowe laws of the south.

    That's one of the great what-ifs. We'll never know. He may not have been convicted. After all, I thought slick willy was a sure bet to be convicted. A lot of people thought Andrew Johnson would have been convicted too. Today I'd say he certainly would not have been convicted. However you are entitled to your opinion of course.

    Not as strong as a stained dress, and that didn't get Bill Clinton convicted. Physical evidence is always stronger. That was a lie before a federal court.
    As I said, he didn't have anything to do with the original crime.

  13. Yep. And I have a rock that repels tigers. I know it works because I've yet to see a tiger in the neighborhood.

    I'll be nice and explain it to you. If you were correct in your assertion, then we would see lower crime in inner city areas that have a far stronger police presence than, say, my affluent little city.

    Police officers don't stop crime. They come in afterward and try to clean up the mess, and arrest the perpetrators so that they are unable to easily offend again. While that might stop crime in the future, it doesn't help a guy who is in the process of being robbed.

    Must be a nice rock. Now about those cities with a strong police force, what are the gun control laws like? Probably very strong, that's why you have such a problem. Those "common sense" things that don't work. Never have worked, never will work. This goes back to at least Roman times. They wanted arms control as well. Didn't work for them either.

    Ford pardoned Nixon for crimes he hadn't been convicted of yet.

    That was to stop that coup that was happening at the time. Trying to nullify the election of 1972. They got Agnew, getting rid of tricky Dick was like a wet dream to the Dems.
    Besides, he didn't actually do the crime. He simply covered it up. There was no Federal crime there to prosecute. Just bullshit from the left to try to string it along. Clearly if he fought it he would have beat the rap, and Hillary would have lost her license to practice law and things would be a whole lot different now. Whole lot different. Yea, Hillary was mixed up with the Rose law firm, and such.

    What tricky Dick should have done is hung them out to dry. Here are the guys that did it, they didn't do it at my direction, book 'em Danno!

    ...an airbag going off because the guy in front of you rammed you from the front while you were stopped is generally considered a bad event (airbags should never go off if you're stopped).

    If I'm coming at you with a 20 ton dump truck around 30 MPH and swerve to miss a cute little bunny and run into the front of your car while you're stopped at a light, you're really going to want that air bag to deploy.
