How about the apathetic hippie, If you call one of the female’s “hippie” will that get you a sexual assault charge? It seems to me to be that if they are all left there crowded up in a park to manage for themselves they will all get sick and die in short order. Hopefully they do not contaminate passer-bys and start a pandemic.
Just another way to put a little clorox in the gene pool.

I’ve always had short hair, no facial hair, practice good hygiene, try to dress appropriately for the event, and generally try to behave myself. However, I do like to occasionally go out into the woods and pee on trees. Does that qualify me for some sort of green, hippie status?

Good morning, Hamsters. It is really Fall, a cool 60 degrees outside. I haven’t been around any hippies since I left Austin ~ 30 years ago. Was never a hippie myself, but did go through a brief beatnik phase my last year in high school. Looking back on it, I can see it was just a clothing style, not a lifestyle. I just wore black outfits to my after-school job at the Midland Public Library. Not exactly a flaming drop-out.

A great Drudge headline!
POLL: AMERICANS PREFER NETANYAHU TO OBAMA…President Obama’s hot-miked conversation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested that he is frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — but Americans might be more frustrated with Obama than they are irritated by Netanyahu.

Protesters Coming Down With the “Zuccotti Lung”
Park conditions put demonstrators at risk for variety of sicknesses, officials say.
Friday, Nov 11, 2011 | Updated 5:48 PM ESTProtesters Get “Zuccotti Lung”
With wintry weather poised to swoop into the cramped outdoor quarters of Occupy Wall Street protesters, it may not be long before more campers catch what’s being called “Zuccotti lung.”
That’s what demonstrators have dubbed the sickness that seems to be spreading among them at an unpleasantly high rate these days: “It’s a real thing,” Willie Carey, 28, told the New York Times.
With little sleep in cold conditions, cigarettes and drinks being passed from mouth to mouth, and few opportunities to wash hands, Zuccotti Park may now just be the best place to catch respiratory viruses, norovirus (also known as the winter vomiting virus) and tuberculosis, according to one doctor.
The damp clothing and cardboard signs wet with rain are also breeding grounds for mold. Some protesters are urinating in bottles and leaving food trash discarded throughout the campground, providing further opportunities for nastiness.
“Pretty much everything here is a good way to get sick,” Salvatore Cipolla, 23, from Long Island, told the Times. “It’ll definitely thin the herd.”
Some protesters have refused free flu shots, citing a “government conspiracy,” the Times said.
There is also the increased risk among the encampment of sexually transmitted diseases, said the doctor, Dr. Philip M. Tierno, Jr. of the NYU Langone Medical Center. And the site’s pounding circles could lead to hearing damage.

This is about as sick and twisted as one can get. Gangsta sucker punches old man to show off to his home crowd.
Police have launched an investigation after a man was caught on video knocking out an older man at the Chicago Avenue Red Line stop while others laughed and mimicked the attack.
The assault occurred in April, but the video has only recently surfaced on the Internet.
The video, posted at worldstarhiphop.com, shows a man in a tan coat moving among people on the southbound subway platform as a group of youths joke and laugh. One of the youths starts following the man, turning around and smiling as his friends whoop and laugh.

Now I know where the Trojan I got a couple of months ago off of Drudge came from. Unbelieveable. I didn’t think that even Holder and friends would be this vindictive.
In this computer age, discovery consists of CD-Roms packed full of files, some of them correctly labeled, some not. Names of snitches are almost all redacted, but names of subjects of investigation, such as Andreas Carl Strassmeier in the OKC bombing case, are often deliberately misspelled so they cannot be easily found in a search. J.D. Cash once told me that there were almost a dozen permutations of the spelling of Strassmeier in the OKC discovery material — far too many to be accidental.
But the latest dirty shyster sxxxtbag trick that federal LEOs and US Attorneys resort to is the virus inserted into files.http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2011/11/stupid-us-attorney-trick-43-slipping.html

You once went on a humanitarian mission to Uganda. But it was mostly to hit on the other volunteers.
My buddy and I would go to PDAP meetings just because the greetings with females was a kiss. 😀

My puppy/almost dog speaks to me……. well doesn’t really speak, just walks around with one of those cartoon bubbles over his head so I can read what he’s thinking.
For example yesterday outside;
Squirrel, squirrel!! Aw dang it…… wish I could climb a tree…… I’ll just go over here and wait…….ohhh a stick….. I’ll just lay here and chew on this stick and wait, he’s gotta come down sometime.
This morning;
You expect me to go #2 inside of two minutes and you sit there reading a book??
But he’s a pretty simple minded feller, most of the time it’s some version of;
BACON!!!

I have an information request. Hubby has 1996 Dodge truck that he uses to haul his backhoe trailer around. He’s looking for a 12V, DC, roof mounted aftermarket A/C unit so he can travel in cool style instead of sweating all summer. We’ve been doing search after search on the internet, but haven’t had much luck. It’s always for big rigs, wrong size, or some other reason it won’t fit or work.
If any of you have information, we’d love to have it. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Deficit ‘super committee’ may put off decisions
Rather than risk stark failure, the congressional panel could decide now on only the outline of a deal, deferring the tougher calls until after the 2012 election.
Whoohoo, keep the risk of our credit rating to be lowered alive and well, super committee.

Simpleton: Regarding your attack against me yesterday:
I think I will let someone far more eloquent than I answer youOBAMA’S AMERICA & THE OCCUPY WALL STREET CROWD
By Thomas Sowell, PhD.The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date
of what President Barack Obama’s America looks like. It is an America
where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is
an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy
the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers
and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare
and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American
civil society.It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals:
defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an
America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a
free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where
our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person’s
guaranteed liberties.It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American
people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi,
Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal
college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members
will live in opulent splendor.It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the
willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood , unions, universities, the
Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American
foreign entities.Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than
any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he
and his comrades are capable of.The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the
annihilation of America .“Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual
could ignore or evade it.”Thomas Sowell
Dr. Sowell is a professor of economics at Stanford University. And he is a black American.
The T-Partiers register legitimate gripes in an orderly, legal and sanitary manner; the Occuliars are just vermin. Maybe one day you will be able to discern the difference.

To make Simple Simons comparison of tea party to ows more complete. The tea party show up, gripe, pick up their trash and leave. I wonder how the Sargent Major would react to gripers who camped out in the hall outside his office door, started crapping all over the place, and refused to leave.

While I was shopping at Hobby Lobby, I was looking at the Christmas ornaments, hoping to find this year’s Santa Claus. (None of the shelf Santas were appealing enough.) I came across a section of college based ornaments, including Texas A&M and t.u. A little boy was with his mother, and I heard her say as he fingered an orange ornament, “If you can read it, you can have it.”
Boy: “Dang, I can’t read it.”
Me: “I’ll help you read one of these so you can have it!” (Pointing at TAMU snowglobe)
(Boy comes over and I take it down so he can read the sign inside the snow globe ornament, and bend down to his level.)
Me: “See- it says “Texas A&M.”
Boy: “Texas A&M”
Mom: “Ask her what it is.”
Me: “Texas A&M is the BEST university in the state, possibly the world!”
(Mom laughs)
Boy: “Really?”
Dad (who just pulled up behind mom with his own basket): “It’s a very good school.”
Me: “Yes, it’s a very, very good school!”
Mom (still laughing): “It stands for Texas Agricultural and —
Me (chiming in): “Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University.”
Mom: “It’s a very big school.”
Dad: “VERY big school.”
Me: “Yes, it is.”
Boy turns to mom with the snow globe in hand, and she tells him he can keep it. I am, of course, grinning like a Cheshire cat as I walk off and hear her say “That was funny!”Once an Aggie, always an Aggie.

While I was shopping at Hobby Lobby, I was looking at the Christmas ornaments, hoping to find this year’s Santa Claus. (None of the shelf Santas were appealing enough.) I came across a section of college based ornaments, including Texas A&M and t.u. A little boy was with his mother, and I heard her say as he fingered an orange ornament, “If you can read it, you can have it.”
Boy: “Dang, I can’t read it.”

Junior dos Santos landed a huge overhand right on the side Cain Velasquez’s head and it was over seconds later. Just like that. JDS takes the UFC heavyweight title on Fox at the 1:04 mark of the first at the Honda Center.
Heck, if that’s all it takes, I can win the UFC title. Of course, I’ll have to land a huge left to the head.

I had cynically assumed that the Superfriends would address America’s imminent debt catastrophe with some radical reform — such as, say, slowing the increase in spending by raising the age for lowering the age of Medicare eligibility from 47 to 49 by the year 2137, after which triumph we could all go back to sleep until total societal collapse.
But I underestimated the genius of the Superfriends’ Supercommittee. It turns out that a committee created to reduce the deficit is instead going to increase it. As The Hill reported:
Democrats on the supercommittee have proposed that the savings from the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan be used to pay for a new stimulus package, according to a summary of the $2.3 trillion plan obtained by The Hill.
Goooooo supercommittee. Their existence has thus far helped ensure our economy tanks.

Makes him want the job in the White House that much more. He’s got the Eye of the Tiger.
Put Romney up against Obama in any debate and Romney will mop the floor with Obama. McCain couldn’t accomplish anything near that. Without Sarah Palin, he would not even have had much turnout at his campaign stops.

I read a story about a family sailing in the S. Pacific who began to notice a sea of black particles surrounding their boat. It turns out that they were eyewitnesses to the birth of an island, and the small black particles was “black sand” from the volcano birthing the island. They watched the small piece of newly formed land stick itself up above sea level. However, when they went back, the waves had demolished the little island. It wasn’t built of solid magma, but of the “ash” from the volcano.
It will be interesting to see how this baby island grows.

There are 12V a.c. systems for small boats that may work. They are a bit pricey. The problem is enough current to run a compressor. You will likely have to install a larger alternator and dedicated wiring.

Put Romney up against Obama in any debate and Romney will mop the floor with Obama. McCain couldn’t accomplish anything near that. Without Sarah Palin, he would not even have had much turnout at his campaign stops.
Romney didn’t do all that well in the debates of 2007-2008. If he had, McCain would be the man who lost to the man who lost to Obama. I don’t seen any real skill in Romney’s debating thus far. He’s been the recipient of some softball questions aimed at him by a media that wants him to be the Republican candidate, much in the same way (and for the same reasons) that they wanted McCain to be the canidate in 2008. They will not be as a kind to him in the General, and his performance will diminish.
Put Cain in a debate against Obama and several things happen:
1. Cain decimates him the same way he decimated Clinton over Hillary care.
2. People in this country will see a debate between two black men, taking race—arguably Obama’s biggest asset—completely out of the calculus, meaning they can focus thier entire attention on the subject and content of the material presented, and compare the ideologies behind both, and come to a decision based largely on that.
In the General Election, Cain also takes away Obama’s race advantage. No matter who wins the election, the black guy wins. Those in the electorate for whom race is the governing factor will stay home.
Put Newt in a debate against Obama, and he’ll make him look like the SCOAMF that he is.
If you want somebody who can beat Obama in a debate, you can do lots better than Romney. They’re practically on the same side.

re: Van ACLooks to me like there are 2 routes to go, install automotive style AC requiring compressors, evaporators and such- looks like a pain and pricey.
RV style AC looks cheaper but requires 110v ac power. I saw a 15,000 BTU unit needs about 16 amp, 2000 watt service. GTO could chime in but looks like an invertor can do the job fairly cheap.

Hate to disagree with you, but I don’t think most blacks will see Obammy and Cain as just any 2 black candidates. The race baiters will have them all stirred up to see Cain as not really “black like me”. So I don’t expect most will stay home as you suggest. -

Good Sunday afternoon almost evening, Hamsters. Misty 62 at 6, partly cloudy and mist hung around until mid morning. Sprinklers on the lawn again all day, some of the water maybe hitting the rye seed spouse threw on the latest fill dirt in the front yard. So far the yard has needed four truckloads of topsoil for filling in low spots and likely will need another half load to finish. We aren’t doing the spreading ourselves. The squirrels are having nirvana experiences burying pecans and acorns in the new soil–it’s so easy to dig there.
Then there’s garden soil needed for a couple of flower beds, and we can get the fall/winter pansies in the beds that won’t have sprinkler heads in them. Have to wait on those until the sprinkler system is installed. We got the bid on it in late August and decided to wait until fall to have it installed. Would imagine there is no rush of business for that this time of year.
Mightily resisting the temptation to put out some Christmas things before Thanksgiving. However all the real pumpkins but one that decorate the place are still in good condition, and we even added two small ones from the vine growing on the compost heap. So they have to stay at least until late afternoon on Thanksgiving.

108 Seagull,
Fence post sitting leaves me no worse tor the wear than gull guamo that you are spreading tonight. The cops are closing down the “Occupy” encampments because they have become sanitation problems and crime hot spots. Seems fair to me. The cities waited a sufficent amount of time for the protestors to get their word out to the public and are closing them down to protect THEM from their own folly. Leaving them in the squalid conditions of the makeshift camps would have been worse.
Other than that…how is it going old bean?

Romney didn’t do all that well in the debates of 2007-2008. If he had, McCain would be the man who lost to the man who lost to Obama.
Romney did great in those debates. Romney losing to McCain was NOT due to Romney’s lack of debating skills. Had you placed Romney up against Obama after the GOP nomination, you would have seen Romney own Obama in all the debates; not who can establish the bigger government to save the housing market.
I don’t seen any real skill in Romney’s debating thus far.
Then you haven’t been watching.

Yah. You’ve been looking over my shoulder, so you can say that’s the truth.
Obamney is nothing more than Obama lite. he’s the Republican the media would like to see win if Obama has to lose.
He makes non-answers to the non-questions media liberals (but I repeat myself) like Scott Pelley and Anderson Cooper ask him. His only real skill is talking out of three sides of his mouth and being able to flip flop at the speed of light.
If he was any more of a light weight, he’d be floating 4 inches above the stage at those debates.

You want to see a real answer to a question asked by the clowns who moderate these debates? One you can actually be proud of? An answer you’d stand behind and could actually cheer about?
Watch this and then show me something Obamney did that’s just as good.

Debates Debates Debates. BAH!!!!!
Unlike a financial prospectus, politicians past performance is indicative of future performance.
Romney may well be a masterdebator but he has one great big stinking skunk hanging around his neck that he has yet to answer for. ROMNEYCARE aka Obamacare and conservatives know it. He also has a record just as Obammy does. THAT alone leaves the door wide open for Obama 2012-2016. In my opinion I would rather see a strong CONSERVATIVE “R” led Congress and Senate than more Obammylite sitting in the White House.

And the Republican Party had better seriously look at that aspect of Romney’s former life as a moderate.
If they want enthusiastic support and feet on the ground in GOTV efforts, don’t tell us to compromise on our Gun Rights.
Don’t trot out in front of us a poltician who should be punished for stomping on Gun Rights by rewarding him with the most powerful office in the nation just because its his friggin turn, has nice hair, and answers the questions the liberals toss his way withotu slobbering all over himself.

#112 – Sorry about that. I thought I had isolated the photo before I marked the link, but apparently it reverted back to the page the photo was on.
#122 – Iowahawk’s Van Cottington character is William F. Buckley’s son who was the heir apparent to National Review upon the senior Buckley’s death. Unfortunately for him, he posted an article favoring the election of BO and was summarily dismissed from the staff of the National Review. Iowahawk nails him perfectly, and if you get a chance, go back and read some of the earlier Van Cottington posts. If you aren’t up on your current events, you’ll miss a lot when reading Iowahawk.

Yah. You’ve been looking over my shoulder, so you can say that’s the truth.
It’s based on your quote. nothing more.
Also, although I’ve seen the following video clip, I cannot currently find it:
“You have to let the market work and get people in homes, and the best thing to do is to allow this economy to reboot,” Romney said.
Asked what that meant for those underwater with their mortgages, Romney threw the question back to the moderators.
“What would you do instead? Would you like to have the federal government go around and buy all the homes in America” he asked. The reason we have the housing crisis we have is that the federal government played too heavy a role in our markets.”v A longstanding leading candidate in the GOP race, Romney faced a barrage of criticism on Oct. 18 — the day of the last presidential debate — when he said the government shouldn’t interfere when homeowners are in trouble.
Romney doubles-down on staying out of foreclosures
That report is precisely the context of the clip I saw.
Now, as for Gingrich, that was masterfully done. I praised him on Breitbart for it and so far I’ve received a -1 voting on my post. 🙁

these debates don’t ask your hero the kinds of questions
My hero is my father. Please don’t insult his memory by replacing him with anyone else. There is plenty of criticism towards Romney. I myself have offered criticism more than once on this very website regarding Romney. gun rights is one legtimiate pioint of concern over Romney but his debating skills is not. Besides, I do not think Romney will restrict gun rights at the federal level. If anything, he’s advocating protecting them.

I guess then it’s a skip the box or a third party vote this next November when it’s between Romney and Obama. Good luck with that.

Squawk #135;
Romney may well be a masterdebator but he has one great big stinking skunk hanging around his neck that he has yet to answer for. ROMNEYCARE aka Obamacare and conservatives know it.
Yes, and I’ve always encouraged folks to express their discontent for Romneycare which is an atrocity. Though I still say that Romney will not mandate healthcare at the federal level. At the very most, he may support *some* mandate (though he’d be very stupid to support any form of healthcare mandate) but not at all like the kind we received from Obama and the people of MA from Romney. But, as you said, a conservative Senate (already controlling the House) would very likely shoot that one down.
THAT alone leaves the door wide open for Obama 2012-2016.
LAS VEGAS — President Obama frequently showers sardonic praise on Mitt Romney for the health care law he signed in Massachusetts, calling it a model for the national plan. On Saturday, Mr. Romney offered a new retort, saying: “If that’s the case, why didn’t you call me?”
Simple yet very effective.

I’m not voting for any candidate based on thier debating skills, particularly when the questiosn being asked aren’t the ones I, and a lot of other people, wouldn’t ask.
I’m voting based on past performance. The guy who signed a law banning any kind of weapon in his state does not get rewarded. Period. Because when you reward guys like that—when you promote them to higher office—all they’ve ;earned is gthat they can get away with it as long as he answers Anderson Cooper’s questions with a smile on his face.

Unlike a financial prospectus, politicians past performance is indicative of future performance.
That is an undeniable truth. A pig with lipstick is still a pig, a leopard cannot change his spots, a snake is still a snake. What Romney has been in the past he will be again. And as Sarge pointed out above on guns, Romney has a record of monkeying with basic freedoms, he believes the government should provide (fill in the blank) he is one step more left than Bushco’s compassionate (puke) conservatism. Romney will not kill Obamacare he will “try to fix it” I do not care what he has said in recent months. And you know why he will try to fix it? Because their are too many “R”s in office that when all is stripped away form them do not want to do away with Obamacare. Have I talked to you lately about Boehnerco?

Such an incursion might have been unthinkable only a few years ago. But Kaskade, who was voted America’s best D.J. for 2011 by D.J. Times and Pioneer D.J., is at the crest of a transformative wave of electronic music acts, alongside megastar D.J.’s like Deadmau5, who headlined Lollapalooza in August, and Skrillex, the 23-year-old dubstep wunderkind, who collaborated with Kaskade on the new track “Lick It.”
(snip)
A recreational snowboarder with a soul patch, Mr. Raddon has an easygoing manner at odds with his high-octane output. His new double album embraces the schism. “Fire” consists of 10 up-tempo dance tracks. On “Ice,” he remixes the same tracks as sedate wind-down music: what you might listen to, he suggested, while driving home post-gig, sweaty and elated.
I grew up with this DJ phenomenon named Ryan Raddon. I went to church with him and his father was my bishop for a few years (he could not stand my music nor the music Ryan played at home 😉 ). I had early morning seminary in his basement where his mother taught us. They were all a great family. After making fun of me for listening to rock and heavy metal, I used to make fun of him for his house music taste. Guess he now has the last laugh, eh? Good for him.
He grew up in Northbrook, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, and before he could drive he was soaking in the city’s growing house-music scene. “I had to be home within 30 minutes of it ending,” he recalled. “We’d go to the club and then hang out a little bit afterwards at Dunkin Donuts.”
In 1989, hoping to meet other Mormons his age, Mr. Raddon enrolled at Brigham Young University. But his love of club music (he had a turntable and a crate of vinyl in his dorm) set him apart. “Everyone was like, ‘Who is this weird kid from Chicago?,’ ” he said.
At 19, he went to Japan as a Mormon missionary and two years later transferred to the University of Utah (his grades at B.Y.U. weren’t so hot), where he soon met his wife, Naomi, a fellow snowboarder. In Salt Lake City, he ran a record store called Mechanized. Not long after, in 1995, he started D.J.-ing his first weekly party, Monday nights at a basement venue called Club Manhattan. He used his earnings to buy studio gear.
The investment payed off.
“I think that’s part of the popularization of the genre,” Mr. Raddon said. “Ten years ago, we tried to take the brownies out too early. It’s been in the oven. It’s cooked long enough. It’s ready now.”
I’ve no idea what he meant by that but, ummm, OK. 🙂

I did catch that and you’ve said as much in past posts regarding Romney. You make a very good point but I do not think Romney will continue healthcare mandates at the federal level. States may do so on the state level; that’s not unconstitutional; but it is at the federal level and I think Romney will respect that.
And as Sarge pointed out above on guns, Romney has a record of monkeying with basic freedoms, Romney has a record of monkeying with basic freedoms, he believes the government should provide (fill in the blank) he is one step more left than Bushco’s compassionate (puke) conservatism.
This again goes back to states’ rights. There is nothing [inherently] unconstitutional about banning guns at the state level. It is VERY unconstitutional on the federal level. Like healthcare, I think Romney will respect this difference. He advocates gun rights and I think he’ll follow up on that.
I’ve no problem whatsoever ridiculing Romney for past state-wide leglislative support. In fact, I think it’s good to ridicule him. It’s very healthy that he and others, especially in the GOP, know about discontent among Conservatives. It’s fair to say that he did it in the past and so he’ll do it in the future at the federal level but I simply do not think he will.
And you know why he will try to fix it? Because their are too many “R”s in office that when all is stripped away form them do not want to do away with Obamacare. Have I talked to you lately about Boehnerco?
He’ll repeal it. He says he will and I completely trust that he will. The question is what Romney will do when future legislation is brought up before Congress which may call for other mandates. “Better” mandates. That’s where I think it’s vague as to where Romney will lean towards. I support all opposition to all healthcare mandates. But others may not. Even here you’ve read some who support some mandates. I say all open the doors to government takeover of healthcare.
If by “Boehnerco” you mean Boehner, I think he’s an embarrassment to the GOP and I was very much against him becoming Speaker of the House.

Unions and OWS openly together at last: “Day of Action” planned for next week
Three major national unions plan to join members of the Occupy Wall Street movement for “We are the 99 percent” protests next Thursday. The AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union and the Laborers’ International Union of North America are eager to piggyback on the press of OWS — all to call for increased infrastructure spending. MoveOn.org and the American Dream Movement also plan to join the party.
Who saw that coming?

Police evicted the Occupy Salt Lake City protesters who had made Utah’s Pioneer Park their campsite, arresting 19 people Saturday who refused to comply.
Despite the arrests, the protesters’ removal was peaceful and no incidents of violence were reported, and city sanitation crews arrived to clear debris from the park — with a bulldozer.
Protesters were ordered to vacate after a man was found dead in his tent at the encampment Friday, apparently due to carbon monoxide poisoning and a drug overdose.
That’s the way to do it, Oakland and other US cities.

Absolutely absurd. I’m done speaking to you regarding this topic.
All you’ve done there is tell me which Constitutionally Guaranteed Right is unimportant to you.
Because the principal is EXACTLY the same.

Bush #1The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature…”

I don’t think that Romney is the best choice out of the current slate of potential Republican nominees. I also don’t thinks he’s the worst. He has lots of baggage – as do most of the others.
The problem with Romney is that he is actually Joe Straus in disguise. (and thus the anti-christ)
Even so, with all his faults he’s a far sight better than the current resident of the White House.

This again goes back to states’ rights. There is nothing [inherently] unconstitutional about banning guns at the state level. It is VERY unconstitutional on the federal level. Like healthcare, I think Romney will respect this difference. He advocates gun rights and I think he’ll follow up on that.
But, if the voters of Massachusetts rewarded Romney for his signing a gun ban, then he should try to get re-elected Governor of Massachusetts.
Because now everybody in the country gets to look at his signature on that bill and decide if they want to reward him for it.

Well here is my bottom line observation about the mess our country finds itself in. We are in deep trouble. More than we here are even willing to admit. What is insane to me is that we are still looking to the same institutions to fix this mess that messed this stuff up. There is not one Man or Woman that can fix this, short term or long term. Since we the people are ultimately to blame for this mess that has been rapidly getting worse since Reagan (it did not just come on us) because we the people choose our leaders we really have no hope except God Almighty to restore this country. So I will place my faith in him, cause I ain’t got no hope or faith in any person I am looking at.

Sarge,
When the new president takes office there will be 4 members of the Supreme Court who are at least 75 years old. ANY Republican president will make better judicial choices than Judge Sotomayor or Judge Kagan.
If you honestly think that there’s no difference between Obama and Romney. . .
Never mind, it’s just not worth the effort.
As far as the system goes, it is what it is. There are currently 9 different candidates with wildly divergent views on most of the substantive issues. At some point the party will reach a consensus and we will have a nominee. You may not like it, but it’s the best system going.

I think that’s largely because a significant proportion of the electorate bases thier decision on “debate performance”, and what some pundit tells them about it, rather than “past performance” and what their gut tells them about that.

Which gets to an issue almost always overlooked. ginsburg will resign during the next term of the sitting president. I’m 100% confident that Romney will nominate a constitutional originalist to the bench. That would be a game changer on many levels. If current trends hold until 2012, and I think they will, getting such a judge confirmed will happen. liberals will scream and shout but it will happen.

If Romney is the nominee, here’s what I want to happen:
In 2016 the Republican Party starts talking about who’s going to run for Presidnet and somebody says:
“Romney would have won last time if it hadn’t been for his signing that gun ban bill.”
I’m tired of the Republican party telling me I have to compromise my principals the way they do.
Both Romney and Obama have signed what i consider to be unconstitutional Socialized Medicine laws.
Romney has signed an unconstitutional gun ban.
Obama hasn’t.

Nope, it’s God and the people choosing God. Which I agree with 100,000%.
“There are some who may feel that religion is not a matter to be seriously considered in the context of the weighty threats that face us. If so, they are at odds with the nation’s founders, for they, when our nation faced its greatest peril, sought the blessings of the Creator. And further, they discovered the essential connection between the survival of a free land and the protection of religious freedom. In John Adams’ words: ‘We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion… Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people.’

If it didn’t then it would be perfectly OK for a State to endorse or promote a specific religion
Exactly my point:
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly forbids the federal government from enacting any law respecting a religious establishment, and thus forbids either designating an official church for the United States, or interfering with State and local official churches — which were common when the First Amendment was enacted. It did not prevent state governments from establishing official churches. Connecticut continued to do so until it replaced its colonial Charter with the Connecticut Constitution of 1818; Massachusetts retained an establishment of religion in general until 1833.[4] (The Massachusetts system required every man to belong to some church, and pay taxes towards it; while it was formally neutral between denominations, in practice the indifferent would be counted as belonging to the majority denomination, and in some cases religious minorities had trouble being recognized at all.[citation needed]) As of 2010, Article III of the Massachusetts constitution still provided, “… the legislature shall, from time to time, authorize and require, the several towns, parishes, precincts, and other bodies politic, or religious societies, to make suitable provision, at their own expense, for the institution of the public worship of God, and for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety, religion and morality, in all cases where such provision shall not be made voluntarily.”[5]
From the oracle Wikipedia.
Any outrage from the Founding Fathers? Who called this unconstituional?
By the year 1702 all 13 American colonies had some form of state-supported religion. This support varied from tax benefits to religious requirements for voting or serving in the legislature. Below are excerpts from colonial era founding documents citing these religious references.
Most instances of state-supported religion were removed before 1850, and the remaining requirements became null and void after the passing of the 14th Amendment on July 28, 1868. New Hampshire and North Carolina removed the nullified religious references from their state constitutions in 1875 and 1877 respectively
http://undergod.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000069
Notice that both my posts regarding a state religion I inserted “inherently”. There was a clear distinction between the powers of the federal government and those of the states. The Supremecy Clause refers *only* to the powers *explicitly* granted to the federal government, which trumps state governemnt law when the two conflicted. However, any power NOT explicitly granted to the federal government is given to the states (We the People). Thus while the federal government could not create a state religion, the states absolutely could, and many did. According to the latter link above, they all did.
The same applies to gun rights. While I support the recent Supreme Court decision declaring the right to bare arms, I do so conditioned that the nature of state sovereignty has changed since the founding of the US Constitution. The Supreme Court was correct though *inherently*, it is the federal government prohibited from infringing on the right to bare arms, not the states.
The Constitution is binding on the states as well as the Federal Government.
That’s how it evolved to be, not how it was inherently intended. And if you think it was then you reject the federalistic nature of our founding federal government.

That’s how it evolved to be, not how it was inherently intended. And if you think it was then you reject the federalistic nature of our founding federal government.
Article. VI.
Clause 1: All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
Clause 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Clause 3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. -

Federalist No. 33, January 2, 1788, Alexander Hamilton
“But it is said that the laws of the Union are to be the supreme law of the land. But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme? It is evident they would amount to nothing. A LAW, by the very meaning of the term, includes supremacy. It is a rule which those to whom it is prescribed are bound to observe. This results from every political association. If individuals enter into a state of society, the laws of that society must be the supreme regulator of their conduct. If a number of political societies enter into a larger political society, the laws which the latter may enact, pursuant to the powers intrusted to it by its constitution, must necessarily be supreme over those societies, and the individuals of whom they are composed. It would otherwise be a mere treaty, dependent on the good faith of the parties, and not a government, which is only another word for POLITICAL POWER AND SUPREMACY. But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the large society which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such. Hence we perceive that the clause which declares the supremacy of the laws of the Union, like the one we have just before considered, only declares a truth, which flows immediately and necessarily from the institution of a federal government. It will not, I presume, have escaped observation, that it expressly confines this supremacy to laws made pursuant to the Constitution; which I mention merely as an instance of caution in the convention; since that limitation would have been to be understood, though it had not been expressed.”

“This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” The indiscreet zeal of the adversaries to the Constitution has betrayed them into an attack on this part of it also, without which it would have been evidently and radically defective. To be fully sensible of this, we need only suppose for a moment that the supremacy of the State constitutions had been left complete by a saving clause in their favor. In the first place, as these constitutions invest the State legislatures with absolute sovereignty, in all cases not excepted by the existing articles of Confederation, all the authorities contained in the proposed Constitution, so far as they exceed those enumerated in the Confederation, would have been annulled, and the new Congress would have been reduced to the same impotent condition with their predecessors. In the next place, as the constitutions of some of the States do not even expressly and fully recognize the existing powers of the Confederacy, an express saving of the supremacy of the former would, in such States, have brought into question every power contained in the proposed Constitution. In the third place, as the constitutions of the States differ much from each other, it might happen that a treaty or national law, of great and equal importance to the States, would interfere with some and not with other constitutions, and would consequently be valid in some of the States, at the same time that it would have no effect in others. In fine, the world would have seen, for the first time, a system of government founded on an inversion of the fundamental principles of all government; it would have seen the authority of the whole society every where subordinate to the authority of the parts; it would have seen a monster, in which the head was under the direction of the members.”

Like colege professors, I needto go to bed.
Unless somebody repealed the 14th amendment while I wasn’t looking, you would be incorrect in your assertion that the Constitution permits a state religion or absolute gun control. (Thank goodness!)
You said it was according to the 10th amendment; not 14th. Citing the 14th Amendment only serves my assertion that this is how the Constitution has evolved and that it has been the courts and “arguably the Civil war” which changed the nature of the Constitution.
While some founders like Madison correctly opposed official religions of the various states and on the state level, NEVER did he argue that the states should not have the power to make an official religion of their state.
Same applies to gun control. I’m only arguing the *inherent* opposition ot the Constitution, not the evolved one.
