  1. About six protestors were legally wearing guns on their hips. One was carrying a semi-automatic rifle. I've said that I thought that this was a bit over the top ... not a good idea ... but let's focus on what MSNBC's Contessa Brewer had to say: OK .. let's ferret out the "facts" contained in Contessa's news story. ?We had a rally for ObamaCare ?A man at that rally was carrying a semiautomatic assault rifle ?The man carrying the rifle was white.

  4. So much merciless killing needlessly when the solution is so simple, so obvious.
  5. I was a delivery driver with UPS for damn near ten years. I joined the Teamsters, because at the time they were small and somewhat disorganized at my particular hub. Now they are megalomaniac vampires with a thirst for power and a penchant for enforcing signatures. No secret ballots! No votes! No voices! Sign here and shut up... this is for YOUR benefit! Fukkers. Now you know why I hate unions! I use FedEx exclusively now that I am running my own business. The USPS delievers junk mail, while FedEx brings everything else to my front door. FedEx is organized as an airline and UPS is organized as a trucking company, thus different labor laws apply.
  6. Mmmmmmmmm.... smoked pussy.

  8. That little box in my front yard is not mine to receive letters from UPS or FedEx.
  9. I'll agree with that, but I think the invocation of God in the Constitution is to represent the ultimate "witness" in the document. The state itself reserves the right to nullify or disregard the marriage of anything other than man and woman. That is, if it is the consensus view. The queers and plural families can move to the desert for all I care, but I believe if we recognize one pairing then all must be represented. What does the state care anyways? If I were a governor, I would see a chance to cease more taxes (Two working men as opposed to a wife staying home with the kids, etc.). You won't understand, though. I know. I know. I know. For Christ's sake! Don't be such a condescending little sh!t to believe that I have never cracked a history book. Jesus! My first marriage was in the Justice of the Peace courtroom, does that make the pairing illegitimate with the aspects of religious pretexts? Am I going to hell for recognizing the tax implifications rather than producing an heir to all this sh!t? If you take God out of the equation, you will have brave men fighting for liberty, justice, fairness, and individuality. Evidence of cohabitation existed at the dawn of mankind, but did they practice religion?
  10. The Constitution, which I believe to be the greatest charter since the advent of written language, does not set up a national church nor delegate legislative or judicial authority to the clergy. Have you read the First Amendment? Do you understand it? If a body or a gathering agrees to have a prayer before a meeting, it is the decision of the people and not because it is demanded by the Constitution. Yes... oh my God! It protects Muslims, Satanists, Jehovah Witnesses, and me: Roman Catholic. Marriage is from Old French which was adapted from the Vulgar Latin root. Let morality be left to the individual to decide and let the state tax them.
  11. Private companies like UPS and FedEx provide superior service, often at a lower price, despite the USPS having a government supported monopoly on mail delivery. Laws prohibit anyone but the USPS from delivering items to the millions of mailboxes at consumers homes around the country. This regulation effectively prohibits private companies like UPS and FedEx from competing with the government on letter delivery and forces consumers to pay the constantly increasing USPS letter rate with no other options. Given the opportunity, private competitors would likely improve letter delivery service and provide it at a lower rate, just as they did with package delivery. Despite the government upheld monopoly, private companies do compete on package delivery. While the USPS already has the infrastructure in place to handle package delivery, they do such a poor job of it that private competitors thrive. What is the impact of this situation on consumers? Higher prices and fewer choices. Private companies like UPS and FedEx face higher delivery costs than they would if they were able to take advantage of the infrastructure savings associated with letter delivery. These premiums are passed on to consumers, yet UPS and FedEx rates are still competitive with those of USPS because of the amount of waste in the government supported system. New competitors find it too costly to enter the market because of the restrictions on mail delivery, meaning most Americans are stuck with just 3 options instead of the many that would be available under a truly free system. The Post Office is notorious for its long lines, poor customer service, and inability to meet its commitments. The limited number of alternatives that have emerged are overpriced due to the government interference into the free market. Is this really a situation that we want recreate with health care?
  12. Ohhh.... and to be a fukken fly on the wall.
  13. Ohhh... I don't doubt that for a second. If Brett can get the ball to Peterson. That's it! I am positive that Peterson is a better RB than my boy Michael Turner, but can Brett hand off his ego?
  14. Real men wear red and black.
  15. I love Brett. Last season marks the first time I have relegated Favre to my back up QB position in my fantasy league since his inception (I started Drew Brees and went to the Fantasy Bowl.). I think he is one of the greatest that has ever played the game, but I wonder if he will completely embarass himself. As a Viking, he will have to forgo the pass and hand off to Peterson a lot. I mean, A LOT! Let Peterson get you down field and then rely on short passes, lateral lobs, and the like to get into the end zone. As a Brett Favre fan, I hope that they can make it to the Superbowl this year. As a Falcons fan, I have to say.... YOU SUCK! DIE! VIKES! DIE! As a fantasty football team owner, I have to say "I love you Brett, but I have to bench ya!".
  16. Bob Dylan being an idiot and being cordial to a law enforcement officer are two completely different things. Most of the idiots I know are pretty nice guys when they don't speak. We can get into the philosophical aspects of it all, but what is the point? This point has been argued ad nauseum. No one can see the forest for all the wolves in the way. I wasn't raised by a pack of wolves. I grew up in a military family and was taught to respect the badge. In all seriousness, I would've responded in the same manner as Dylan. It would've been my own prerogative to respond differently, but I'd be ready for the consequences.
  17. I've always used the line, "I've got beer." and suddenly legs in the air.
  18. "I never personally attacked you EVER! All I was saying was you are going to hell and your mother is a whore. So grow up!" - Timesjoke
  19. Today's type is... BTF (Built To Fukk).
  20. Honeychild, I have rhythm out the yin-yang.
  21. Sens. Drop End-of-Life Provision from Bill - Republican Chuck Grassley Says Controversial Provision Has Been Dropped from Bipartisan Negotiation in the Senate Let's be clear on something here. "Dropped from the bill" does not necessarily mean "off the table." All the Democrats need to do is get their basic framework passed. Then they're home free to push the full package on us later.
  22. Even if the health plan doesn't contain a provision to set up "death panels" the law will certainly metastasize. It will set up new administrative agencies; those agencies will publish regulations that go beyond the scope of the original law. For example: the 1965 immigration reform was not supposed to significantly change US demographics, but it did. RICO was supposed to be a weapon against organized crime, not a way to confiscate the cars or homes of hapless drunk drivers. AFDC (welfare for single mothers) grew out of a law to help the widows of Civil War vets. Progressives want to enforce their vision of the good, and believe that "law" is like sprinkling fairy dust on "problems." Then they are continually surprised when the laws have unintended consequences. The failure to recognize the expansionary maw of big government is one of the many failures of progressivism.
  23. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZkX18ha2DQ]YouTube - Alan Grayson Town Hall Meeting - Orlando, FL - 8.17.09[/ame] Let's deal with this town hall meeting held by Central Florida Democrat Alan Grayson last night. Grayson chose a local IBEW union hall for the meeting. The meeting room could hold no more than 120 people. Now that's the way to reach out to your constituents congressman! What's more, immediately before Grayson's meeting local Democrats were holding a meeting in the same town hall. This meant that many of the people - actually, most of the people who showed up to make their objections to ObamaCare known found the meeting room already filled with Democrats who had just finished their meeting. The looters stayed, of course, for the Grayson town hall. Don't really need to say much more about this one ... I think you get the picture, and I think that Alan Grayson is probably a one-term Democrat. Meanwhile another Florida Democrat, Congressman Alan Boyd, held three town hall meetings on Monday. Here we seem to have a Democrat who actually wants to hear from his voters. Boyd is now saying that maybe we should just scrap the whole ObamaCare plan and start over. He cannot, he says, support the bill as it is now. I've also had some time to study the so-called co-op plan now being touted by some Democrats. Sorry, but I'm not impressed. I think in the final analysis this idea for state-run co-operative health insurance companies is just another way to run the private health insurance companies out of business and move to a single-payer plan. If you're still out there thinking that the Democrats are actually wringing their hands out of concern for the quality and availability of health care, I don't know what to say to you. Some people are just more gullible than others. Hopefully more and more Americans are recognizing that the issue here is control, not health care. Clearly if the looters were concerned about quality and availability they would be looking to the private sector. Argue all you want, but there has never been a better mechanism devised by man to deliver needed goods and services to the general public than the free market --- and you have to look long and hard to find any respect paid to the free marketplace in any of the Democrat plans being tossed about Washington. Single-payer means one thing -- government control. Just who do you think the single-payer would be? If all medical bills are paid by one entity ... whether they're bills for visits to the doctor, prescription drugs, hospital stays or imaging services ... if those bills are to be approved and paid by one entity (single-payer) then that entity controls health care. That entity decides what gets paid for and what does not, and it decides who gets paid and who does not. That's absolute control, and that's what the left is after. The sooner the people in this country awake and see this monster at the foot of their beds, the safer we all are. Oh ... Let's hold off on all that blather about how good this ObamaCare dust-up is for the Republican party. From where I sit and run my mouth the GOP can't claim any credit for ObamaCare's problems at all. I have yet to see a comprehensive Republican bill offered to respond to the Democrat's efforts. If there is such a bill, I'm not aware of it, and that in itself is a problem.
  24. DeLay is not going to be the "token no-sense-of-rhythm-white-boy" on that Dance With The Stars show is he?
  25. Ahhh.... a Kalashnikov! And pink, to boot, local communists would love that (ie: pinkos).
