Gun legislation... KIA.
4 Americans dead in Benghazi... covered up so he could maintain power.
The awesome power of the IRS... used against those who disagree.
AP reporters phone records seized without warrant...

Even the communist cable news channels are having a hard time maintaining support for their dictator. "There must be something we don't understand" is the most they can garner in support of their dictator. Well, yes, there IS something you don't understand. You don't understand the communists you support. This is what communists do. They seize power and seize power and seize power and seize power and they'll keep seizing power until they have all the power.

The question is (for those of you who think politics IS JUST A GAME) do you think your beloved communist dictator regime will be able to recover or is this the end of this regime?

Bohner asked the question, "Who's going to jail?" I ask the same question. Although, since I see how much our federal government has gotten OUT OF CONTROL over the last several decades, I'm pretty sure the only thing that will happen is those most responsible will resign from their positions with full pay, wait a couple months, and then be promoted to eventually retire with full benefits.

If you don't support the U.S. Constitution, YOU'RE WRONG!

Admit it, you guys missed me, didn't you? Especially you SARGE. We can continue on with our bromance now and see where it takes us. Bathybius & Eozoon Nummulosphere Bound... you are not alone. I've been checking every once in a while and noticed that activity has declined in here. Why? Because I left. Glad to be back after almost three months of self-banishment. Since I had a need to set up an Apache server on my home network, I figured I'd go ahead and crunch a few numbers on it while the web pages weren't being accesses. Be forewarned, my rules of engagement are now stricter than before. If you want an *adult* answer, you'll have to ask an *adult* question. Bathybius & Eozoon Nummulosphere Bound... I've learned a little from you on how to deal with some of the ardent communists in here. Thank you for your teachings.

SCOTUS isn't the final arbitrator of law, ICJ is the final arbitrator of law.

So, the next time I lose my case at the SCOTUS, I can appeal to the ICJ. Good to know.

I'm going to take a chance here and loosen the rules I've recently been using in my interactions with most of you in here.

I told you once I would not harangue you any more about this topic Es, and I'll stand by that statement since you accidentally let slip a bit more about your personal life in some distant previous post and made me a little more aware of where you come from (not geographically, but emotionally.)

I also said I would not join a thread created for some of you to argue and agree with each other about where life begins. If it had been anybody else but you, I would have ignored that new thread. And I know some of you are just waiting for me to post something so you can all collectively jump on me and call me a hypocrite. I will not give any of you that satisfaction either. Although, I can't help but to give Dale a "+1" for the rest of you reading this.

In an honest attempt to reach out to you, I will say this:

We are all spirits living in an extremely limited material world. By nature, we all make mistakes. To admit this is the first step. The second step is to acknowledge our own personal mistakes and to vow never to repeat them and to strive never to repeat these same mistakes. Notice I used the word "strive" as to never repeat the same mistakes we acknowledge is a goal, not an absolute.

We may argue about some of the issues of the day, such as how much collectivism is good for society, what rules we should force everyone to live under, and how nations should act with one another given we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 208 political entities on this planet, but to start arguing about the most basic, the most precious possession we have--life--can only come from people who recognize how precious life is and those who are rationalizing mistakes of their past. Now, before you jump to any conclusions, let me ask you how could I have said something like that without sounding like I'm being judgmental? All I can follow up with is to state that I'm not judging you. All I'm trying to do is give you something else to seriously think about.

I, too, have irreconcilable differences with the Catholic Church based on the most basic, precious thing we mere humans have--life. For the last decade, I've looked up towards the sky and asked, "why?" As a gal, you may or may not have had experiences based on decisions that you wish you had not made and have experienced a variety of emotions that could not be explained. But using phrases like, "some misfortune I end up pregnant," and "ball of cells" does make me lean towards the idea that you have.

All I'm saying is that I've come to realize that mistakes of the past do not condemn your future if you first acknowledge and then strive to change. What awaits us in the future relies on this.

Now, I could reach out a bit further to you, but I hesitate at this point in time.

For the rest of you, if you don't keep it civilized, I'm going straight back the rules I recently started using in my interactions with you.

Our president proved yesterday in his speech that he's a UNITER, not a DIVIDER!

He bridged the gap between the left and the FAR LEFT.

yeah...

Firearms. Who or what is dangerous?

Government. Centralizing power in government. Government taking away the last check on government. And government tyranny.

There... over three hundred posts in this thread and I believe the answer has finally been reached.

By your definition of tyranny, too much taxes. Why haven't you free'd yourselves from Washington?

I'm still a person who likes to follow the rules for the time being. Mind you, my friend across the pond (never met a bloke in person I didn't friend), there might come a time when I decide to dump the tea in the harbor again.

Same logic.

If we ban cars, then drunks can kill by drunk driving.

And if some of you INSIST that we DON'T BAN ALL CARS, then maybe I'd be willing to concede and limit cars to ONE CYLINDER engines. What does anybody need a car with MORE THAN ONE CYLINDER in its ENGINE for?

Or maybe limit private transportation to TWO WHEELS. What does anybody need more than TWO WHEELS for on their transportation? If they need more than TWO WHEELS, or more than ONE CYLINDER in their engine, they can hire a GOVERNMENT APPROVED truck or taxi.

Same logic.

And limiting your transportation to two wheels would put your life at risk as much as some random person on the street, if you chose to drive drunk, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that at least make it a bit more FAIR?

If we can save ONE LIFE by BANNING CARS, shouldn't civilized society DEMAND IT?

Same logic.

And abortion is an emotional topic (more emotional than cars) and since some of us will NEVER agree on where life begins, there's no possible civilized discussion available, so don't go there. Any logical, thinking person can only come to the conclusion that life begins when the DNA of the sperm mix with the DNA of the egg, but many of you in here will continue to assert that life begins at some *arbitrary* point in the future, after the mixing of the DNA. So, it's a waste of time to try to go there.

Start another thread on it if some of you feel a need to agree with each other on that *arbitrary* point in the future, after the mixing of the DNA. I won't participate, but ya'll can go there and argue and agree with each other if that'll make you feel better about yourselves.

10,228 people died in drunk driving crashes, accounting for 31% of all traffic deaths last year.

If we can only save ONE LIFE, shouldn't society DEMAND IT? BAN CARS NOW!

Free men have guns. Slaves don't. I'm a free man and intend to keep it that way.

Who or what is dangerous? Keep on centralizing power in the hands of a few in Washington DC and see what human nature really is.

Why are there *some* examples of countries that have banned guns and still those who live there choose to tolerate less freedom?

It was only a short 236 years ago we broke the bonds of tyranny. What short memories we have. I keep pointing out history and most of you in here keep hand waving. Several other examples since then. Yet you keep on hand waving.

The fall of the U.S. will have a global impact.

Charleton Heston once said, "from my cold dead hands."

Well, from my cold dead hands also.

Come and take it.

Ya know, it's kind of difficult to have a civilized conversation with you when you refuse to acknowledge more than four percent of the facts.

Have you taken a look at what's happened in Australia since they banned guns?

Where's our Australian friends? How come you're being so quiet now?

How's that long-gun registration going for you up in Canada?

Ask me politely to turn in my assault weapons for destruction and to register all my other guns. Let's see how that'll work out.

So what evidence suggests making the entire U.S. a gun free zone will reduce these mass killings?

The fact that is has worked in every other country that has done it.

Ya mean like Mao Ze-Dong's China, Adolf Hitler's Germany, Joseph Stalin's USSR, Pol Pot's Cambodia and Kim Il Sung's North Korea?

Guy, besides women who else do you believe should not have control of their own bodies?

Rape is a felony.
