3 Dead In Shooting At Louisiana Technical College
Why the hostility and assumptions about what I do? Just because I don't accept your premises? Your "logic" is severely faulty. (Feb 12, 2008 | post #19)
Sex Offender Wins $10 Million Lottery
I don't understand how he is a sex offender. Search for him online in one of those gov't registries... he has 4 convictions for battery... 2 on someone under 14. So he's an offender... but there was nothing about anything sexual. Granted, battery is a crime... but if you beat up someone underage, do they just call it a "sexual assault" also?

I'm pro-gun but don't bother with such nonsensical exercises. I completely reject your premise to begin with. (Feb 8, 2008 | post #5)
Ron Paul votes against economic stimulus package
I don't think Ron Paul would get rid of those programs and departments on day 1 and just keep the money that people have paid into them. Clearly anyone who has worked and paid to be dependent on these programs should be entitled to their money, just that new workers should be given the choice to opt out. (Jan 31, 2008 | post #344)
Ron Paul votes against economic stimulus package
just that not everything that it can do is explicitly mentioned by the Constitution. " this is where we disagree. I fully believe that the Constitution is the only thing which gave gov't it's powers. also, the nec and proper and commerce clauses have been used and abused significantly by those wanting to expand the powers of gov't to do things that I truly believe it was never intended to do. The advocates of such new powers obviously point to these 2 clauses and respond that of course the founders would be okay with such-and-such new power, that's exactly why they put in these 2 clauses. But read the clauses as well as the accompanying writings (anti federalist papers, etc).... then read some of the court cases and see what sort of B.S. has been "justified " by these clauses. Of course neither side is "settled fact", but nevertheless this is the side I am firmly on. Randy Barnett's interpretation of the Constitution is pretty impressive, IMO: http://en.wikipedi a.org/wiki/Restori ng_the_Lost_Consti tution (Jan 31, 2008 | post #331)
Bill To Close Gun-Show Loophole Rejected
how can you justify depriving someone else of a gun just because YOU think they are a "supremacist " or a "crazy"? Whoever gets to control the criterion for applying either label will be able to deprive ANYONE of a gun just by putting them into these categories. i.e.: your will lose your right to own a gun WITHOUT due process.

Bush To Veto Children's Health Insurance Bill
I never said any of that. How can you even remotely assume that i want to "cast the poor adrift" based on my prior posts?!?!?!?! (Dec 14, 2007 | post #40)
Bush To Veto Children's Health Insurance Bill
with the exception to the last 2, I would answer "no" to just about all of your questions. I would say that any gov't ONLY obligation is to protect life liberty and property rights of it's citizens. (Dec 14, 2007 | post #35)

poll: presidential election 2008
DO what the rest of us do when Ron Paul is omitted... vote for some no-name longshot just to skew the poll results. ;) To Nas - so Joe Biden is polling higher than Ron Paul? Or the OCD was kicking in and you had some inexplicable desire to include the same number of people with each letter (r or D) after their name? (Dec 5, 2007 | post #18)
Victim In "Jena 6" Beating Files Suit
So you justify vigilante justice so long as the perpetrator can claim that he was doing it in retribution for some prior wrong? No duty to go to law enforcement? I get called names, beaten, whatever... I can eschew the whole justice system and get a couple of buddies and play judge, jury, and executioner ourselves? (Dec 5, 2007 | post #5)
Victim In "Jena 6" Beating Files Suit
and in any other government school in the country if someone is beaten like this, there would probably be a lawsuit. (Dec 5, 2007 | post #2)
