I have a liberal mind - would you care or dare show me how it works?

Why narrow it down to some one "running for President"? I think everyone in any political office should show their tax records. Why do people wanting to run for the senate spend millions and millions of dollars for a position that pays around $180,000.00? The system is broken and corrupt and we will pay for all of this in the end.

Conservatives believe that anyone who does not agree with them is not only a moron but a socialist communist.

I don't think any of you folks have been on the business end of a Rambo Knife, by a hardened criminal. The night I shot the guy, I went home and found he had cut me on the side of the neck, and I had bled inside my shirt. Now, I carry a much better gun. The gun I used then was a Llama, made in Spain, now I carry either a Walther 380, or Bersa 380 Concealed Carry version. I make sure to carry my gun when I'm downtown shooting photos in the evening. After all any thug would love at least $3000 worth of photo equipment to pawn.

Please go back and re-read the thread. It diverged into a discussion of religion somewhere back around page 3, and it wasn't liberals who took it down that path. I will refrain from suggesting that conservatives falsely made that accusation.

I agree with you that politicians shouldn't use Dan Cathy's personal beliefs to prevent him from operating his business. We disagree about their right to criticize him and to suggest that his values do not agree with the values of their constituents. Politicians have First Amendment rights, too.

Speaking of which, do you recognize any limitations at all on free speech, and if so, can you describe them?

Hear, hear!

So ... Harry Reid is an idiot .... he graduated Utah State University .... in 2010 rated by Forbes as the number one public university in the U.S.... he graduated George Washington University Law .... one of the top law schools in the nation .... so he is an idiot ... where did you do your undergraduate and post graduate work .... maybe that would give us a hint as to who is the idiot ...

You know, I have often wondered why those vest dont come down farther than just in their chest... cause if someone fires a shot and hits their carotid artery, they'd be dead in an instant. I watched this very small built policeman who had a police dog with him.. and he was trying to capture this black guy, but he had the upper hand really, cause he was bigger, thus knocking the policeman to the ground and grabbing his gun at the same time. The guy tried to fire his gun at him.. but it fortunately jammed.... so the dog tried to jump him, but he hit the dog in the head with the pistol, which made him run away.

The policeman was still on the ground so he reached for his hidden weapon when he saw that the guy may be able to unjam that gun and fire it... so the cop managed to fire it but missed, he then got up and ran after him... shooting at him at the same time. Then it was out of the camera range. Dont remember what happened after that.. but as you can see.. there are small policemen too.. and they are no match for big guys like this one was... Can't remember if the dog survived the head bashing or not.

"Redistribution," is often the ironic recourse of the plutocracy defending its ill-gotten gains. They ply government officials, elected and appointed, with money to set up conditions favorable for them to grab everyone else's chips, then cry "class warfare" when someone has the temerity to identify what they did. This is one of those debate ending slogans, like "conspiracy theorist," which attempts shame people into silence when they are onto something.

If we have to call it redistribution, so be it. We can redistribute wealth without having to take any property from the rich:

1. Raise their taxes to at least the level they were under Clinton, when the economy was humming, and the deficits turned into record surpluses.

2. Do not fall for any further deregulation schemes demanded by any industry. Deregulation is only the first step on the process. it is followed by bankruptcy through legalized crimes, then bailout.

3. Restore the power of unions. Whatever their documented faults and sins of the past, they are the only agent that can represent ordinary workers in the political economy.

4. Invest in infrastructure and cutting edge technology instead of letting countries in Europe and Asia beat us to them.

5. Change the minimum wage into a living wage. It is an abomination that full-time work would still leave a person unable to support his minimal needs.

6. Remove corporate influence from politics entirely.

As to a fraction of y intellect, whatever mine is, there are people who have only a fraction of that. I never offered to name those I identified in this category, and certainly did not aim any such comment at you.
