who cares what the war is for, who cares who said what about what was where and when we did what we did what for.
it cost way to much. period.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Your right to self preservation and handgun ownership is something that is not wasted in terms of what you call "obsessing" when others are clearly trying to take that Constitutional right away from you for there own emotional gain.My "Beef" as you put it lies with those who like to pervert the 2nd amendment and any form of the constitution in to an excuse to undermine the Law and to obsess over something that they should not be obsessing over.
To doggystyle all over the 2nd amendment that is very much often in the corner of the liberal voting record.
Yeah, it was a little asshatesque, the guy could of came on less strong if he wanted to get a more clear answer from a bunch of backpedaling political robots, but trust me it was on purpose. It is a serious subject and I think he wanted to catch them off guard to see what true character may come spilling out.You can ask questions of a senator without having to come off like an a$$hat like that guy did with Biden.
Of course it was a baited question but it was also very honest. He knew Biden would come across sounding like a toolbag. Biden has always had one of the very lowest NRA ratings that is possible.
He felt he was showing patriotism. In a way he really was. Patriotism isn't a "mass" movement. Patriotism is a very personal matter. It isn't about blindly following the media or the president or the governor or anyone who pontificates.
Patriotism is knowing why you feel the way you do and that you have the right to feel that way without being called "mentally" unbalanced by some a$$hole who wants to take away your right to self protection and **** all over the Constitution
He didn't want to see a bunch of suits fitting in, he wanted to seen an individual who ensured us that he was an American and his natural born rights are NOT negotiable. That they will exist even if they are legislated against by citizens of this country who hate there own nationalism.
That's great that your an advocate of the 2nd amendment. Are you a member of the NRA? How are you an advocate besides just saying it on an internet message board?I am an advocate of the 2nd amendment but i dont obsess over it and i dont have this overwhelming sense of paranoia that it is going to be revoked, because YOU know as well as i that it wont, no matter if a dem gets in office or whomever.
Oh and yes, they can take away your guns, it happened here in Chicago a long time ago, and it once was the same in DC, I can name many cities that have bans or have had bans.
Believe it or not these people can make progress.
Water,
Of course we fund these elements in society with our taxes, but what we should be doing, and what I am more talking about is cutting down the wasteful spending aspect to get back from the European style welfare state we are heading to.
It's about managing the money we have for those in real need and not robbing from those that have made good choices to pay for more...and more...and more.
Helping people is a Nobel goal but often the people needing this help are in trouble of their own making. They are sleeping in the beds that they have themselves made. This is where we need to do the culling.
The vast majority being people who are supported by government systems who got that way because of their own foolish actions, immoral conduct, laziness, or irresponsible behavior.
If a person cannot manage his money, if he squanders his money on foolish buying and ends up destitute or is lazy and does not want to work, or a single woman leads a wanton, licentious life, and bears one illegitimate child after another, and is unable to hold a job, should the state come to her aid by supporting her and her
children the rest of her life?
It is not listed anywhere in the Constitution that the government has the right to do this.
The question really should be is it prudent for the state to try and save the foolish from the consequences of their foolishness?
People need a helping hand from time to time. Thank god people can get that kind of help here if they need it but we are getting gang raped by a sector of very ****ty people and even worse political clowns.
He is actually 100% correct.
Just look at the aftermath of Katrina. Many of those people were 3rd generation welfare recipients. They had no clue what to do when the government checks did not show up. Getting a job never even crossed their minds. It was pathetic, and quite sad that the system had robbed these people of the ability to provide themselves with basic human necessities.

Well, we have the worst failure of air-defense in history ( sept 11) and then we have the worst intelligence report in history ( the Iraq WMD case) under the presidency who cannot pronounce the word "nuclear".
Is it flip-flopping to support the war based on incredibly faulty intelligence, and then oppose the war once we find out it is faulty? Or is it flat out stubborness to continue to support the war in spite of the evidence that the intelligence is faulty?
Why is it OK to support the war in Iraq because the terrorists are over there killing Iraqi civilians as opposed to here, AND justify the war to change Hussein's regime because he killed his own people ( those same civillians)?
I remember asking a co-worker who is a staunch Republican back in the fist days of the Iraq war this - what happens when as many Iraqi civilians die because we are there would have died if Hussein was in power? How do we justify it then? No answer....

Actually, Biden is a "tool", and a not very sharp one, at that.
(although plagiarism doesn't really require one to be "sharp", you've got to be pretty dull not to know that the 'net makes spotting that kind of thing ridiculously easy)
Too bad they don't make a list of "Foot in Mouth" ratings.... he'd be right at the opposite end of the scale on that one.Biden has always had one of the very lowest NRA ratings that is possible.
