usamamasan1 wrote:"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," are her exact words. And what would be a better option, in Ginsburg's opinion? The constitution of South Africa which provides no mention of a Right to Keep and Bear Arms in its lengthy bill of rights. You have a right to affordable housing, according to Ginsburg, but not the right to defend yourself inside your affordable home.

Imagine if one of the five justices who sided with the Second Amendment in the Heller or McDonald cases were to retire in the next four years. The likelihood of that happening is good, and we know that Barack Obama would replace him or her with a nominee who believes, just like Justice Ginsburg, that you and I don't actually have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

This is what's at stake in this year's elections. Will we have a president who believes that our Constitution is nothing more than an old piece of paper that should be discarded or ignored when he sees fit? Not if the NRA has anything to say about it. We've been fighting for our Second Amendment rights since 1871, but never has there been a more critical time for our firearm freedoms. The danger is real, the stakes are immense, and the task won't be easy. Together, however, I know NRA members will go "All In" this election season to deny Obama the opportunity to nominate any more anti-gun judges to the nation's high court.


Seriously, dude: Go live in a cabin in Idaho. This bullshit has run its course.

Actually, everyone is delusional if they believe there is a war on women.

Sounds catchy though so it must be true!!!

Dick Cheney, just weeks after undergoing heart transplant surgery, plunged back into the political theater Saturday -- praising presumptive nominee Mitt Romney while slamming President Obama as an "unmitigated disaster."


The tough words came during an hour-and-15-minute talk at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday.
He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane.

After Rick Santorum dropped out of the race this past week, Cheney in his address urged the party to pull together behind Romney. He said the former Massachusetts governor would do a "whale of a job."

His opinion of the sitting president was less flattering.

"He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country," Cheney said of Obama.


glad your back Dick. Keep fighting the good fight.

AND

Acting very much like the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney sent a curt message to President Barack Obama today: "Start packing."

The message, delivered with a chuckle, came in an exclusive interview with "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer who asked the presumptive GOP nominee if he had something to say to the president.

Romney said Obama's "policies have not helped the American people. They have not helped get jobs, they have not helped raise incomes and they've added trillions of dollars of debt."


AND

"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said, according to a video posted on YouTube by the NRA. "If you can't go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil America hated administration, I don't even know what you're made out of."

He accused the government of "wiping its ass with the Constitution you're living under a rock some place" and labeled members of the Obama administration, including the vice president, attorney general and secretary of state "criminals."

"We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Am I, any questions?" Nugent said.

what happened to the whole post-Gabby Giffords "let's tone down the violent rhetoric"? a WAR on women? seriously?

this is all just talking points babble to win the invented battle of the day in the never-ending 24hr cable news cycle.

hopefully soon everyone will start to talk about real issues.

threatening to roll back the rights that women have enjoyed for the last several decades IS a war on women's rights. if you will not call it a war, what would you call it? an assault? to republicans does that mean the "women's right's experiment" has ended in failure???

these proposed laws are real. they are not made up. if they were made up they would not be being fucking enacted in arizona and mississippi and tennessee.


I never said you couldn't have a problem with any laws.

My only point was, calling it a WAR only heightens the rhetoric to the point where both sides get super-irrational-defensive and no meaningful dialogue to solve the actual issues takes place.

Do you really think that any lawmakers that proposed and enacted any laws in these areas of concern got together and said, "Damn these women! We've got to stop them now! People, this is WAR!"?

Lawmakers / policymakers have their opinions about what is right and wrong, and then what is/should be legal and illegal. 99% of the time it comes from a non-evil / non-violent place.

The Republicans know they are in for a tough fight this November. Whatever you may think of their ideas/opinions, you can't think that they are stupid enough to make a centerpiece of their strategy to alienate half of the population by declaring WAR on them.

and any "rolling back" of rights that is proposed / enacted is not a "war" or an "assault". those are terms defined in VIOLENCE. regardless of what you think of what they are doing, there is no violence going on.

Language / vocabulary is very important.

There are a lot of numbers on the rise under President Obama: government spending, home foreclosures, gas prices, and national debt.

Another figure ticked upward this last week: holes golfed by President Obama.


 
Between his "official" and "nonpolitical" visits to swing states, the President found time to play another 18 holes this weekend. As millions of Americans continue to struggle to find work, President Obama has now played a total of 1,710 holes since taking office. That's 95 rounds of golf.

A lot of Americans have had to make sacrifices these last four years. We would expect our President to do the same.

Donate $18 to help send Barack Obama on a permanent golf vacation:

Obama is even more Republican then I thought! I guess Boehner must really be rubbing off on him.

Is going golfing any worse than a President watching 2 movies a week?

Rudy Giuliani formally endorsed Mitt Romney on Monday, insisting that the former Massachusetts governor has clinched the Republican nomination "fair and square."
In an interview on "Fox & Friends," the former New York City mayor said Romney has proven he's the "most effective Republican" in the race.
"Mitt has won fair and square," Giuliani said. "He's taken on everybody and won an incredible number of primaries, and he's got the resume and background for the job."


truth be told.

Wow, I've seen this board sink to some low depths before, but this takes the fucking biscuit.

I actually feel ashamed to be a fan of this band right now.



And 3 pages into this thread??? Seriously, why do people keep replying to this horseshit?

I think I might go and join a Bob Marley fan club message board and post endless quotes by people such as Enoch Powell, and David Duke, declare my love of The National Front, and the English Defence League, and post pictures of blacks hanging from trees, and lyrics by the racist band Screwdriver.

Just to fuck with people, bait them, and insult everything his fans might stand for, or respect.

And when some of Bob Marley's fan club posters deem me worthy enough to reply to my incessant bullshit and try to engage me in some sort of reasoned debate, I'll just laugh at them from behind my computer screen, and then post a silly internet picture of Haile Selassie dressed as a Klan member with the caption 'If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em'.

'Coz that's the kind of guy I am.

"I think young voters in this country have to vote for me if they're really thinking of what's in the best interest of the country and what's in their personal best interest," Romney said as he stood next to Rubio, R-Fla.
