Most people hold a variety of opinions about different issues, some that might be characterized as "liberal", some that might be characterized as "conservative"...wha tever term one might apply. I believe that one's ability to see things from different perspectives, and display tolerance of others' viewpoints certainly expands with age, and experience. I understand that you think I am a member of a certain, or several "groups", primarily because I espouse viewpoints that you disagree with. You claim that I am a "leftist", a "liberal". So be it. I am an individual with my own thoughts, not a member of any political party, church, religion, or other organization. I am a member of a group of individuals licensed by the state, and the members of that group most certainly hold extremely diverse opinions on the issues we banter about here. Beyond that, you don't have a clue about my personal or professional life, beyond the opinions I express here. But if it suits your needs, call me whatever you wish. woof Your argument might hold water had I never encountered you prior to this thread. But having seen you for well over a year on Topix, I'm on rock solid ground with my description of you as a leftist. And by denying your affinity for that philosophy, you employ yet another stock tactic that leftists use...denial when caught being exactly what they are. Woof on that for a while.

You seem to not be able to grasp that there are intelligent people who don't agree with your opinions, yet have the ability to gather information, analyze it, and arrive at their own personal conclusions about specific issues. You'd rather wrap them all up in a box, tie a nice bow around the box, and call them leftists, liberals, whatever the term of the day may be, thinking that's the end of the conversation, and you need not delve any further. You disagree with their positions, and that's the end of it. Once again...show me a post in which I asserted that Mr. Obama is "black". woof honest question: since Lincoln is dead, we can't ask him and since recorded history won't provide answer that can be fact checked, why ask the question? my opinion......legal battle because he was a lawyer, and would consider winning in court winning a war. grin :)

Not surprising was what wasn’t discussed on Hannity - that the gun running began under the Bush administration in 2006 when it was called Operation Wide Receiver. It was a similar program carried out by ATF's Tucson, Ariz., office and resulted in hundreds of guns being transferred to suspected arms traffickers. So then why hasn’t at least one member of the Bush administration that started Operation Wide Receiver in 2006 been called to testify? Even Darrell Issa himself pledged to look into the Bush administration when circumstances demanded it, noting in a CNN interview last year, "many of the issues we’re working on began [with] President Bush or even before, and haven’t been solved." In the same interview when he was pressed to address the work done by Obama's predecessor on the arms trafficking he said,“[W]e will get to the bottom of whether or not this practice in a smaller way may have begun on the Bush watch," he said. So nobody under Bush has been called to testify and none of the witnesses that the Democrats want have been called to testify (you would expect ATF agents under both programs to testify, the gun shop owners, Mexican contacts, whistleblowers, etc.). The unfortunate reality is this is nothing but a political witch hunt by Issa, the GOP and Fox News and during an election year to undermine the President and get rid of Attorney General Eric Holder (who,coincidently just happens to be working on ending voter suppression throughout the country). Moreover, this concerted effort to undermine the current administration with this absurd notion that the federal government intentionally expanded the program to finance and flood Mexico with untraceable weapons sold to violent criminals to cause mayhem and death so as to promote anti-gun policies in America has to be one of the kookiest right-wing conspiracy theories ever contrived. Darrell Issa himself has suggested this. Issa told the Daily Caller, a conservative news website.“Many of the people in the chain of Fast and Furious have a disregard for Second Amendment rights and a belief that they have to limit beyond what the courts have upheld—people’s rights to keep and bear arms

When I show you more than 20 instances when the ACLU either sued or made a public statement in support of Christians' right to worship will you then admit that you are wrong? By the way, nice Chuck Norris quote. Now there is a guy you can count on for getting his facts straight. Ye gods.

Fast and Furious was a mimic of Bush's plan only twice the size and ten times more dangerous. Instead of tracking weapons, they just let them drift off into the country. It's estimated that 200 people are dead because of this program. Liberal media: Mr President, what can you tell us about the fast and furious scandal? DumBama: What I can tell you about fast and furious is that it's Bush's fault. Liberals will believe anything their masters tell them. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Kramers Attorney wrote: Quite obviously, you can't play that game. I cited in excess of 20 circumstances of the ACLU supporting Christians' right to practice their religion free from government interference. You posted the rantings of an ill informed idiot. Just because other people tell the same lies you do, doesn't make your lie the truth. Perhaps that is the essence of the problem. You don't know the difference between fact and opinion. Give facts a try.
