Conservatives, Cut Bush Slack

We are fighting TERRORISTS. President Bush is ON our side.

Oh, good. I guess that gives him a pass to enact huge socialist housing programs, curtail political speech before elections, deny civilians their Habeas Corpus rights without revoking Habeas Corpus outright, and so on.

We are at war, therefore Bush can do no wrong. Gotchya. I'm back on the Hymnal.

Do you, or do you not, have a disdain for the 2nd Amendment? Do you, or do you not, believe the 2nd Amendment permits current and vastly more sweeping gun control in the future? Do you, or do you not believe that firearms ownership should be severely restricted or denied to most Americans?

You need to start posting faster.

[Lazamataz]

You need to start posting faster.

Yes, I do.

Laz, First off, I don't have to answer to you or anyone else on this thread, If you take my post wrong, blame yourself. There was nothing implied, just facts

[Lazamataz]

You, of course, failed to address my point and instead commented about the speed of my replies.

[Lazamataz]

Which is odd.

. This map offers clues what secession and the United States will be like by 2016, despite ReaganMan's conclusion that I live in the

I don't see how you have any chance of pulling this off. Even if you managed to "take over" a state (and it would have to be a very small state or a state with a small population and meager value for you to take it over with only 20,000 people in your "army"), you would have no standing, no power, no influence on the Federal Level. The Federal government (along with the other 49 states who would team up in opposition against you) would squash your seccessionist plans like a bug.

If Quebec is unable to successfully secede from Canada (and in my opinion Quebec has a better case for secession and is in a much better position to make a go of it alone than just about any state in the U.S. except California), no way will a state be able to secede from the U.S given the present economic, political, and social climate. Short of some unforseen calamity occurring to the entire country, 14 years is not enough time to alter that climate.

I guess that gives him a pass to enact huge socialist housing programs

Getting people out of public housing and into a program where they buy their own homes is a "huge socialist housing program?"

Why can't those people stay in the projects where they belong, eh, Laz?

[Lazamataz]

Laz, First off, I don't have to answer to you or anyone else on this thread, If you take my post wrong, blame yourself. There was nothing implied, just facts

Facts that could be used to smear a person by association.

You have also pointedly refused to disassociate yourself from this associational smear. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that you intended to smear Registered as a sympathizer or supporter of DU.

I will note this rather shoddy and shabby behavior on your part and subject you to it yourself, if you happen to present the opportunity someday. Goose, meet gander.

Dont worry ABOUT housing programs because maybe the TERRORISTS might blow up your house if President Bush can't STOP them. President Bush is ON our side. We are fighting the TERRORISTS. I am sorry if I SAID bad things about you but I had to STOP you from ATTACKING President Bush. Thank you for SAYING that President Bush is not WRONG. Always say that when you GET angry and it will MAKE you feel BETTER. Please stay ON our side. Thank you AGAIN.

Here, the most logical poster wins.

I thought it odd that you responded to my post to Sabre and he then responded to you.

[Lazamataz]

I am on 'our side'. But I reserve the right to criticize G.W. Bush when he does horribly leftist things. Signing leftist Democrat legislation is not why I voted for him, donated to him, and campaigned for him

[Roscoe]

Do you...have a disdain for the 2nd Amendment? Do you... believe the 2nd Amendment permits current and vastly more sweeping gun control in the future? Do you...believe that firearms ownership should be severely restricted or denied to most Americans?

No, no and no.

Are you a hypocrite?

Life can be kooky.

If you choose to take sides with the riffraff---the misfits, mallcontents & militants--- here at FreeRepublic you will be in the minority and you will be hearing from more then just me.

Wow! Sounds like I've found my niche group. Is there a sign up table for this bunch or is it just you, Reagan Man, who determines into which slot one will fit?

[Lazamataz]

No, no and no.

Good! You seem to have turned around on this topic. I recall, perhaps incorrectly, that you were quite anti-gun.

Are you a hypocrite?

If you are not anti-gun, my argument fails.

[Ben Ficklin]

No, the FR chat room determines nothing. that will be in November.
