I guess the only thing left to do is hangout in message boards ranting,raving and whining until we get our country back!

Au contraire you do live a comfortable life thanks to the brave men who were willing to fight for what they believed in, and willing to give their life as well. . the freedom that you take for granted, and even mock.

And pity for you if you believe that you live in a "police state" because unfortunately it is the whiners and wimps who can't see the big picture, or beyond their own self-centered existance, that we may very well end up there!

Are you trying to say that the millitary is not just poor unfortunate disproprtionatly minority children who were duped and ended up in Bush's war?
That infact they are our brightest and best brave men and women from all walks of life who proudly risk all to give whining whimpy liberals like me the freedom to express my hatred for America even while I deny it?

Could I be blinded by my extreme hatred of Bushco?


Say it ain't so.

Olbermann really gets on my nerves too. I find he can't upset me if I don't watch him though.

"Disproportionatly minority children?" They volunteered to serve. They are not children but brave men and women.
And I am wondering how they were duped?

Could you be blinded by your extreme hatred of President Bush? Good question. . . At least you are somewhat introspective. . but the real test is what is your answer to yourself?

Now we all know where these crazy stories get started! I don’t know anyone who wants to take away your guns, but now that you bring up the issue “let’s get started with taking them”? Your off the wall haphazard thinking about issues like this and making statements just cause more trouble for any party or political debates and conversations. So why do it? Nobody wants your gun.

However if you leave this administration in office much longer and they’ll be taking them away saying that it’s for our own good and homeland security that we don’t allow Americans to have weapons. Maybe if someone had taken Dick Chaney’s shotgun away someone would not have gotten hurt in a Texas hunting trip? Also lets take away the alcohol that helped cause the accident when Chaney was too drunk to shoot.

Really. regardless of which side a person is on- Cheney does not represent something I would want to pass in a dark alley. He looks like a serial killer.

What three of our liberal leaders have said. I will try to find more at a later date....


“We're going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy. We're going to beat guns into submission”.
*********** United States Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY)

“Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe”.
*********** United States Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

“If someone is so fearful that, that they're going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have these weapons at all!”
*********** Representative Henry A. Waxman (D-CA)

You didn't mention when these people said these things, but more importantly, why mention them? There are quite a few more who had these opinions many years ago--but it's an idea that has seen its day. People with this attitude will be called Antigunosaurs some day.

Surely you don't think three people such as those you mentioned could have any serious impact on Second Amendment rights in America today. "Getting the guns" simply ain't gonna happen here. That part of liberal-bashing is truly ludicrous at this point. I'm sure you have lots of other liberal-bashing ammunition that has at least some likelihood of not falling into the category of uselessness.

A “conservative” would ask you why you fear losing the rights guaranteed under the constitution. The world has changed after 9-11.

I think that’s how they’ve been talking their talk? Don’t worry it’s for the best.



Believe me I’m the last one to give up my guns or allow “them” to take yours.

And so why is this administration wanting to make changes in the constitution and take away rights and freedoms?
