You wanted a picture? Ah, here's a nice one from memory lane.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Sounds like what many of us say. Conservative first, Republican second.
This rant and this thread are kinda our little anti-Oscar "statement."
Your nephew could be wrong.
3 Things to think about:
1."Do not bear false witness"
2.Best not to speak ill of the dead.
3.They say the same thing about Bush, Clinton, and Gore and every other person who steps up to be a leader....
Just a thought, with Harry's passing away.
Bruce Willis PING special delivery for you.
Bruce must feel lonely among all those Hollywood uber Lefties...
Libertarians don't do it for me. They seem to be pushing the drug legalization thing a bit too much, which I could never support. The Constitution Party is the closest thing I can see to a real conservative party. The guy in California, from the Minutemen (I can't remember his name right now), is running for office as a part of the Taxpayers Party, which is California's branch of the CP.
PMJI late here. James Madison, in discussing specifically the limitations of the "general welfare" provision (either in the Federalist Papers or in his personal correspondence - don't have the cite handy) nailed it down even tighter, stating that the Federal governmet was only authorized to promote the general welfare though the exercise of the specific, limited set of enumerated powers outlined in the Constitution.
The doctorine IS liberal in the personal freedoms area; but it is very conservative when it comes to Constitutional powers and the rights of the people!
What we need is a new party name that says what it Stands for more clearly.
Not mine. I have 2.
1 is Mr. Smith and the other is Mr. Wesson.
DITTO
My nephew voted for Browne, so he would probably be more skeptical of reports of corruption.
In politics, there is a limit to how much one sweeps under the rug after a politician dies.
History should be reasonably accurate to assist future voters to make sound choices.
I did not bear false witness. This was a true report of what my nephew said, and he seemed pretty positive about the amount of evidence that had come to light.
However, in fairness, I will try to get his sources for him and correct the record if I'm not impressed with his evidence.
"He looks like a fat, very rich actor pretending he's a fisherman."
I'm not flaming you, but think about this: if you repeat an untruth, that's how lies get spread. There's plenty of people who will repeat anything bad said about President Bush, and they don't know or CARE that it's untrue....
Then again what do we know realy, unless we see it first hand.
Yeah, he's a "Republican" all righty.
"I'm a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government." [Snip] "I want the government to... the kids in foster care... take care of the elderly and give them free medicine, give them whatever they need."
Typical liberal hypocrite. He wants bigger government without the responsibility to pay for it.
Can't help lovin' that man o' (wish he was) mine....
...although Kiefer is givin' him a run for the money....
Gotta keep sending you the good pings, you know. Anything to make a nice lady smile!
While I don't completely disagree with that statement, I would suggest that the VERY last line between us and the wolves and the chaos is the 2nd Amendment.
That was well demonstrated by the LA riots a few years ago when the cops bugged out of the riot area and left the law abiding people there alone to defend themselves against wolves and chaos. The people who were armed survived and protected their property, a lot of those who weren't armed didn't. That picture of a Korean merchant standing on the roof of his undamaged store with a semiauto rifle in his hands while other buildings all around his were looted and burning spoke volumes.
Thanks for remembering that image from the 1992 riots. Koreans rock. For the most part, they have been a beneficial addition to American society. They work hard, are law-abiding and mostly Republican.
