If drilling near parks is so bad, why not ban it everywhere?

That is the best suggestion so far. Why the heck does obama want to endanger ANY part of our beautiful land? No more oil drilling in the USA! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now!

March on Washington next Saturday! Be there! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now! Drills out now!

Again I repeat. We must all rally behind Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele and Sarah Palin as we mobilize our forces up to the 2010 Congressional elections. I would stake the future of America on these three great Americans.

I think someone needs to tell the Mooselimb Prez that the Mormons are not asking that he do anything for or to them in exchange for peaceful relations with the USA. (/s)

And I quote...

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Furthermore...

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Thoughts?

LVR, I do understand where you are coming from. I haven’t completely given up, but we do need to wake people up and fast. Our current leaders are a clear and present danger to this nation, no doubt about it.

Even when they are living in cardboard boxes and standing in soup kitchen lines,

Ya know what's worse? I'm sure this has probably happened to you too, when you talk to people who really don't follow current events and you bring this stuff up, they just shake their heads and think you fell off the deep end or have been hitting the bottle.

Not stupid people by any means, just completely oblivious to their surroundings and living there lives like nothing is wrong. Then one day they'll say, "why didn't you warn me"

No truer statement than "ignorance is bliss"

Actually he has called for the registration of every gun that holds a clip. Registration is but the first step IMO.

LEOs could be tasked with picking these guns up on a moment’s notice. Obama’s team would certainly find a way to make this look to the public like something that had to be done.

I thought these leases were from the Dec 19, 2008 sale?

You bet. I suckered for the first one, and I was wrong to do so. I won’t be buying into any more of them.

I haven’t completely given up

Thanks DoughtyOne, a little encouragement always helps!

I’ve been saying all day today, it’ll be the gun issue that is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. All this social stuff is important, but you take away the bitter clinger’s gun, it’s going to get ugly. Yes, I’m a bitter clinger. Notice bambi hasn’t talked about it? He’s afraid of conservatives (ala - continuation of attacks on Palin, boy are they scared of her) It’s the issue that will ruin him. I say, bring it on. I just bought a new gun (to celebrate the inauguration), and am anxiously awaiting for the weather to get better to try it out.

Thanks for those quotes, I’ve been looking for them. Got links?

Aren’t you automatically registered if you buy one, or are they talking a long time ago?

McLame is “leading the way” in the Senate?

Good Grief.

“We’ll cut spending when the Economy takes off again”

Do that first, McLame.

The ONLY reason I voted for McCain was Palin. My hubby and I went round and round about this. I was not going to vote, etc, all the reasons. I’m almost glad McCain lost. At least all this crap wouldn’t be masked as republican initiatives.

I’m allergic - and I don’t have any desire to alter my mind in that way. Maker’s Mark for me.

If so, that changes things quite a bit.
