Hello again, Steve:
Well, I think you can... But, that right wing guy I was talking to the other night, doesn't think so.. He thinks you're a right wing whacko who wants to dismantle the great society and make contraception illegal.Quote:
What, I can't read?
Now, it's NOT me saying that. I'm just INNOCENTLY reporting what one right winger said about another... Don't look at me.. I'm INNOCENT.

No sir you're wrong, I posted a column just to watch the reaction. I have consistently shown I don't give a damn about someone's race or ethnicity, we're just people. You're the one who thinks a black guy criticizing another black guy is racist.Quote:

Do I believe blacks have fared worse under Obama? Yes. Do I believe conservative policies are more conducive to success and regaining self-respect and pride? Yes. Do I believe Al Sharpton is a race baiter? Yes. That doesn't make me a racist.Quote:

Now that's offensive, but demonstrative. You can shove that BS where the sun don't shine.Quote:

And what is it you do besides cowardly sniping?Quote:

I really don't see anyone continuously offer any constructive alternatives in Current Events. It's really just a board for US political pundits to vent and belittle the opposite party. is this not correct?
And of course we have NK to bring us insightful, thoughtful commentary to fill the gap.
Thanks man. Cheers.
Yes that is correct.Quote:

Of course he's right about that part but you can't say that, you can't criticize a black president without being a racist.Quote:
No, Governor Palin, the truth behind the ACA mess is that Obama and his gang of golfing buddies are idiots.
It depends on how you use the term and in what context. People often demonstrates themselves to be idiots in lots of different ways.Quote:

Yes, we have observed high incidence of this phenominomQuote:

Tom you can be sure your founders didn't consider the likelihood that abortion would become endemic, but we can be certain they would have thought the practice abhorrent. How then can permitting abortion be considered constitutional. Only because there is no specific mention of either permission or prohibition. Surely it is time to allow common sense to prevail. It is a great pity some people weren't aborted
The founders in the Declaration spoke of the right to life. They also in the 5th Amendment made it clear that life could not be taken legally without due process .The 14th amendment expanded the due process clause to states . William Blackstone, the British legal scholar, wrote in 'Commentaries on the Laws of England' that life is a “right” that “is inherent by nature in every individual, and exists even before the child is born.” Blackstone's work was well known by the founders when they wrote the Constitution.
Where is the due process in abortions ? Are we to believe that due process is satisfied because a mother deems it so ? If that's the case then why would the woman who gave birth and stuffed her child in a shopping bag ;and continued shopping at Victoria's Secret come under criminal investigation ? (she was caught because she was shop lifting . )
So what we had before Roe v Wade was a clear case for the right to life in at least 2 of the amendments... as opposed to a vague implied 'right to privacy that was granted by judicial fiat and was founded in the in the "penumbras" and "emanations" of other constitutional protections.In other words ,the justices twisted the words of the constitution to make it legal to kill babies.
The founders didn't even count women and blacks as human, so why would they have thought about unborn babies? Only landed white gentlemen had rights.Quote:

Given the size of the population there should be many aspirants, however the political system ensures that only those who can raise megabucks have a chance. You would think that skill would translate into a useful management skill for the country, but no, the politics of division reigns. Certain people are excluded which lowers the pool to those with access to old moneyQuote:

Yes universal suffrage for all men is still opposed for some within your borders, it is still a radical idea among men of propertyQuote:

Acknowledging slavery was wrong and freeing the slaves was something entirely different, a matter of conscious perhaps. The same sort of conscious that doesn't make your trickle down economics work todayQuote:

Racist, well I'll have to let my abo's go loose, goose, then won't I. Racist because I don't want my country overrun by middle eastern and south asian yobboos, because I don't want the same conditions you enjoy to arise here. Because I don't want an underclass. Declare your hispanics citizens and then speak to me of racism. When I look at Obama I don't see a black man, can you say the same?Quote:

Our original inhabitants are unimpressed with boat people, discuss racism with them
Don't tell me, it's a racist law.Quote:
