You know, I can respect that. I worked for a gun reloader back in the clinton days. Remember 'Spotlight' magazine and the worry over waco and Okie city?
I hung out with a lot of milita folks who were worried - and I was too. And the things we worried about, bush went in and did.
Remember OBE (Outcome Based Education)? I fought that here in Ohio - it is the exact same thing as no child left behind.
I fought on principle, and then the power that fought that came into power - and started to implement the very things I was against, and that they were against.
Go drink some water from the toilet bowl.
That is because the left are insane on this issue. As for ruled by fear, I cite my tagline.
I am happy the republicans lost - yes.
See my post above this one. Too much power and doing the same things that clinton and dems were condemned for wanting/doing.
No, they'll take a plane to Tijuana and cross the southern border.
You do realize that if we pull out, Iran will move in and we'll have killing fields of the Sunnis and Kurds just like Cambodia. And the Dems who voted for the war will be complicit in it. This isn't just about our troops. There's a lot more at stake. I know people there. I want them home, too. But we need to get the Iraqis on their feet first, or there will be a bloodbath the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
It is because the left sees people wanting to impose their own brand of faith on others, and having the power to do so, as scary. I doubt many here would want a pope-like person running this country and having the power to make law and enforce it. The baptists, as an example, would be screwed.
Wasn't Chess Man executed in California sometime last century?
With our government in place in iraq, if that goes down I can see the people supporting us toasting Iran. If Iran is that dumb, they deserve the US and Israel going in.
So, are you saying "Straight Story" is really "Gay Story"????
Their fear is irrational. The enemy is the Islamofascists. They don't just want to end abortion or gay marriage. They want to convert each and every one of us or kill us if we won't.
To equate Christians with the Islamofascists is insane.
Which doesn't quite provide an example of how your life is being intruded upon. Nor shall I hold by breath waiting for such an example. I understand your fear in the abstract, I am incredibly skeptical of it being a reality in your life (unless you take a large number of phone calls from overseas on a pay-as-you-go cell).
What exactly were you and your militia buddies so concerned about that Bush did? Seriously. Name a few concrete points.
As for OBE, it is nothing like NCLB. The teacher's unions loved OBE, they hate NCLB with a passion. They are nowhere close to the same. You are incredibly misinformed on this.
No, but Fischer was screwed over (even though he is nuts IMHO) over playing a game of chess.
Well, I am guessing/hoping you are being sarcastic.
My best friend is gay, and a freeper, and had it not been for him I would not have found this site years ago and posted so much here (not under this name, left and came back of own accord, was also a site donor for years here).
I don't see one's sexuality as the problem, pedophiles and sex freaks come from both sides of the fence.
Am I against gay agendas, the left, etc? Damn right I am. But I don't see being gay as the main factor in this case or others. I see personal responsibility as the main factor - and in this case foley messed up in that arena.
The dems are hypocrites in this arena to be sure, they only care about screwups when it is our party doing such. Shame on them.
But you broadbrush a whole group of people, some of which DO support the right and conservatives, and the belief that people should be free to live their lives the way they see fit.
I remember you were not real fond of Bush back in the day, nor were some others here. Back then we were more focused on better government and leaders, and just as hard on conservatives as we were liberals. We had standards, and those that failed such standards were treated the same.
Dems blow to be sure, but attacking all gays in your post does not seem to help our cause or our side. Maybe I am missing the sarcasm, shame on me if that is the case.
I hope we can stick to attacking the main problem - liberals. And gay does not equal liberal from what I have seen and known in life. But I can see more and more gays moving away from our party with such posts as this. Which is a shame because the gays I know want the same things we do - less government, less crap in education, and more people to be able to choose freely how to live their lives.

ID cards moving along, smart cards, RFID, and a variety of intrusions into private citizens privacy.
I tracked em during clinton and did not like em them, and expected such to end. They only progressed. Why?
Rings a bell, doesn't it?
Carl, was it?
Iraq is majority Shia. They would welcome an Iranian invasion with open arms. Count on it. We'd have to go back in to save Iraq, except this time we'd be fighting the Iranians directly. And they are very, very close to having nukes.
We pull out now, we are looking at a huge war. 3000 American dead will seem like child's play then.
They might see little green men running the pentagon, that doesn't mean that what they see is real. There is no evidence whatsoever that there are any people in the political leadership of the GOP who want any such thing.
Oh my GOD, you are dumber than I thought! If this is how all the DUmmies think, we are in BIG trouble!
Did you ever hear the word "terrorist" and "airplane"? I doubt the terrorists came here in a rowboat
