Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
Well just remember, whatever proposal a state puts forth is still trumped by federal law. Would't want you to get the wrong idea and wind up arrested.

Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
I thought of something on the way home, sort of a double-edged sword to my freedom argument.
I don't believe states should have the option to legalize bigotry. However, if I want to afford equal freedoms to everyone, I have to extend them to the churches. While I am disgusted with the American Protestant Church, they do absolutely have the right to preach whatever hatred they think is moral. By the same token, Muslims have the right to attempt to get laws passed to outlaw pork. They will obviously have much less success, but they should have the right to try. So Drumline, while I believe you have subscribed to a policy of bigotry that is in direct opposition to the values of American freedom, and a position that I think Jesus would find repulsive, I respect your right to believe what you believe. http://drakesflames.blogspot.com Drake's Flames, my crassly opinionated game review site.

Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
Most of the arguments against gay marriage bans have got me thinking about another marriage subject. If there is not a viable secular argument in favor of a gay marriage ban as some might suggest, then what about other forms of marriage. What about polygamous marriage? With those same arguments for gay marriage there should then also be legalized polygamous marriage. If a church is free to define marriage and who the will and will not marry, they should also be free to perform those marriages as well. What about that?

Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
I'd have to try and figure out the numbers but I can say with some confidence that whatever adoption "expense" the state will have would be more than paid back in taxes over the life of the new citizen.
That doesn't even consider the taxes generate by their decendents. Bannister EDIT: Just FYI. As of now the maximum liability on the government is $11,650. Again, I feel confident a new taxpayer will more than make up for this over their lifetime. Quote:

Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
Alright....I have been doing good all day....I have been thinking about the peaceful transfer of power the most powerful nation in the world is about to make and it fills me with satisfaction to live in such a place.
While obviously I do not support Obama's policies such as the Fairness doctrine and Spreading the Wealth, I will not cast stones in his general direction unless these policies are implemented...even then though he is still my President. I have been humble all day even though the markets reacting to the news of an Obama victory caused a 500 point drop today on the market and my father in law has figured that if the new tax hikes go in effect we will be placing people on unemployment this Winter at the winery who depend on their checks. Problem is the winery already runs red in the Winter...it cannot take more on top of that and we only keep the restaurant open so those loyal workers can draw a paycheck. But despite all of this I have been very calm and humble all day and have congratulated many folks on their canidates victory. I think that is how we should all act...but now for the rant...and it is gonna be a good one. On my way home I was listening to talk radio and the Democrats kept calling in with the same message...and it grated my nerves to no end and made we want to scream....that message... Now that Obama is going to lead the nation it is time for the nation to heal and unify behind it's new president... Bull Friggin Honky... Why is it up to me to unify behind a liberal canidate...where were these calls for bi-partisanship as the Democrats did everything they could to hamstring the current administration at every step. Where was the unity as American Senators went overseas and talked about what a bad country we have become while standing right in the living room of the beast. Those men deserved to be exiled for that and any Republican who goes to Russia and talks about how weak Obama is deserves the same treatment if such a case arose. The Democrats have sharpened there claws on the current President every chance they could. They have stuck their dripping venomous fangs into everything that he has done just so they could win an election. It has gotten to the point that the more Americans who could die in Iraq the better it was for their bitter agenda. They have opposed at every step, disgraced us as a country in front of our enemies, caused more decisevness than any enemy or terrorist could have ever hoped for....and literally spewed forth venom every single day at the expense of the current administration and the other half of the country.... And then you have the nerve to come on and tell me it is time to heal old wounds and unify.....screw you. While I aprreciate that the Libs are such big hearted people that they can overcome our differneces now that they control power, I still say where were they for the past 8 years? Well they were out there undermining the current administration at every step so they could make this grand run at the Presidency. As I have said, I consider myself a better person than that so I will not become a conservative attack dog just to do so. If Obama has a good idea then he should get credit for it...if he tries to push a socialist agenda then you will here me bark....but I cannot bear the absolute hipocrosy of those Liberals who now call for unity who could not even bring themselves to admit that the country had a President all along. I pray that your canidate gets a fairer shake than the one that was shown to the current administration. Alright, I am better now.... </IMG> |

Technically, that is all made up nonsense meant to make animals that know about their own mortality feel better.
You are the brute squad! Quote:
