Those don't exactly jeehaw with liberal idealogy. I'm from Mississippi and liberal democrats don't seem to do well down here.

So as a "God-fearing Christian", who has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and risked his life to uphold the law, why would you expect me to be anything but a Republican?

Because their goal is to buttfuck you in the mouth.

God has nothing to do with it Sarge. However, guns have much to do with it. Liberals hate the Second Amendment.

hey mercy....

*I* am a Liberal, and I'll tell you what *I* hate: useless, overbroad generalizations that do nothing but fuel prejudice and masquerade as understanding. Like, say, :

I refuse to believe you believe that. And yet, you repeat it. I do not hate the Second Amendment. Don't exacerbate our serious problems by perpetuating misinformation.

Why am I answering in the politics section? I dunno...I hate politics. Anyhoo....I don't like Obama, and I don't like McCain. My point, I don't see anyone who's a good leader for the country at the moment. It's not if he's a Republican or a Democrat but is he strong enough to lead and help our country. I have nothing to propose so I'll shut up now and quietly leave the politics forum.

By and large it is quite a true statement. Why would you believe otherwise? Because you are an exception to that rule?????

So you are the exception. Look at only from a legislative point of view and see how many politicians on the Left of center support restrictive gun control. I don't see how you could make such a silly statement.

I think the legislative records of most liberals would show that they are closer to the mainstream than to the alleged position you ascribe to them. In fact, their "legislative point of view" being that reasonable restrictions, like those in the Brady Law, are not an infringement of Second Amendment rights and that Second Amendment rights are not absolute, a position that has been affirmed by the Supreme Court on several occasions, most recently by the current conservative court.

There are extremists on the far left who would go further than those reasonable and legal restrictions just as there are extremists on the right who would ignore the First Amendment establishment clause.

But sweeping generalizations about liberals or conservatives are just another example of extremism at work and cant be supported by the facts.

These are not sweeping generalizations. It is observation of objective voting data based on party affiliation. You can find the data at both the NRA and Gun Owners of America websites if you care to look. This has nothing to do with the First Amendment only the Second. Again, the "Sweeping generalizations about liberals" and Second Amendment Rights are fact, not extremism, no matter how you or your alter-ego cowardly incarnation wants to make it.

'splain, please.

[plthijinx]

he rose in Illinois very quickly. he said the right things to the people. basically what people wanted to hear, you know the routine, promise this promise that then don't follow through. typical politician. then he kept on saying what people wanted to hear. now, granted i didn't get to vote against him, and i would have, because of my hiatus from society. but i am able to vote now. i just believe that he hasn't done a very good job as president and believe he will be a one termer. he has done nothing but help gas prices rise for example. cancelling permits and leases like they're going out of style. among other things. i don't expect everyone to accept my views but i sure won't change mine. he sucks. plain and simple. bush wasn't hardly any better. hell i wish we could go back to the clinton era.

Rahm "it up your arse" Emanuel is doing the same thing now... winning friends and influencing the people.... He told everyone what they wanted to hear to get elected.

The quote of the week about the other side, from one of their own, former Republican Senator Alan Simpson:

...Simpson really laid into his party, starting with abortion.

"Who the hell is for abortion? I don't know anybody running around with a sign that says 'Have an abortion, they're wonderful.' They're hideous. But they're a deeply intimate and personal decision and I don't think men legislators should even vote on the issue."

Simpson also went off on Republicans for their stance on gay rights, singling out potential 2012 nominee Rick Santorum as the worst offender.

"...We have homophobes in our party. That's disgusting to me. We're all human beings. We're all God's children. Now, if they're going to get off on that stuff...Now, you know, that's the kind of guys that are going to be on my ticket, you know, it makes you sort out hard what Reagan said, you know, 'stick with your folks.' But I'm not sticking with people who are homophobic, anti-women, you know, moral values while you're diddling your secretary, while you're giving a speech on moral values. Come on, get off of it."
