The problem with some idiots (in Congress) is that they forgot about the Planes hitting the buildings.

If the planes had hit the Capitol and the NY Times building, we'd be having a completely different debate today...

I'm not "upset" at all and it wasn't up to me to list every single item that was rationed during two world wars. Heck, wasn't it enough that I answered my own question? LOL

I'm in a very "agreeable mood". I just don't suffer fools lightly; as you know.

Dear nopardons,

since your name begins without capital...I figure so can a sentence posted to a name without capital.

"You're wrong about Section 802. All conditions of that section have to apply to be considered a terrorist."

I want to believe that. Can you show us were it says all those conditions must apply? Just give us the section under 802 where this policy is explained. <

Here's the full context of Section 802 of the P.A.. You left off the part at the end.

Section 802 in its entirity;

(My Bold)

I put in bold the part of Section 802 that you left out. It includes the word "and". It shows that all the conditions must apply.

What a childish, silly, and peculiar thing for you to say! Is that also why your sentence had no beginning, no verbs, and no ending? LOL

You're giving Georgians a bad name. I used to think that they were well educated...until I saw your posts.

All conditions of that section have to apply to be considered a terrorist.

Not really - only the "appear to be intended--" needs to be true.

No, not "not really". See the word "and" at the end of Section 802.

Senators don't have term limits.

Much to the detriment of the nation.

"But, even IF she were, she would do whatever she wanted to ( just like Bill before her ) and no law, no Bill, and no Act matters one whit to her."

I agree with you completely.

If that is the case, then he either lost his mind, or was bribed; take your choice.

Or wants to be bribed in the form of some choice pork for his state. Craig is apparently telling the folks back home that he's doing this to protect the 2nd Amendment. Maybe. Maybe not. But he's sided with Hagel and that's a big red flag as far as I'm concerned.

Nope, doesnt pass the smell test. We need clarity, and I don't want the SC to have to sort this out after an innocent american citizen has spent years in jail for street corner protesting.

Thanks! It's a truism, but those who can't see that, are the ones who also don't want President Bush, who would NEVER do something like the Clintons would, to have the PA, to keep America and Americans safe.

And the anthrax attacks which threatened Congress just as surely as the plane that civilians took down in Shanksville, PA, saving the arses of every senator who was in the building that day. They literally came within minutes of never being able to cast a vote again, and this is how they behave just four years later.

Huh?

A, B and C must be true. It's in plain, clear English.

Siding with Hagel is a VERY big red flag, indeed!

Craig says that his stance concerns the Second Amendment? That makes less than NO sense at all. It must be about pork and/or something that he isn't getting, that he thought he was.

The folks back home should give him and earful, over the Christmas break!
