"Liberalism", as defined in American Heritage dictionary, is a political theory founded on the goodness of humans, & the autonomy of the individual, favoring civil & political parties, government by law with the consent of the governed, & protection from arbitrary authority.
"Arbitrary" - Determined by chance, or impulse, & not by necessity or reason.
So, it supposed to be equal law all around; do as you see fit, as long as you don't harm anyone unnecessarily.
Using a gun to defend oneself against a killer is hardly "arbitrary".
Why then, this hatred of firearms? Please don't spit platitudes out, I'm familiar with them.
But, going by the very tenets of Liberalism, people should be allowed to keep guns, & use them to defend themselves.

That every thing a liberal says on here can be reported for "repeated postings" or "spam" or their hatred for Bush is so great, some want the US to fail in Iraq?

your love for Bush or your love for America?
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."

- President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908

I am fed up of calling what I thin is my local Abbey national bank, then find out I am diverted to India, I recently had someone try to get £1500 from my account, and whilst the lad was very nice, his grasp to speak the english language was very hard for him, something as important as fraud should be dealt with by an English person, as I had many questions I needed to ask, I will be looking to change banks, so does anybody know of a bank with an English call center...
Also the same applies to BT, I wanted to query a bill, the girl hadn't got a clue..

I am in no way racsist, and do not knock the Indian people for wanting to work,, I blame the companies for thinking they can cut corners at the expense of offering a good and pesonel service as we use to get..
Does anybody feel the same as me??

I live in a very small town that lives and breathes the "good ole boy" mentality. I was recently charged with a totally bogus crime, and told that if I didn't take the offered plea bargain and pay the fine that there would be other people in my group charged with a more serious crime. I took the deal to protect my son, who is a junior in high school. The local deputies have a history of harassing, and even killing one teenager. We are not from here, and any stand taken by myself will be met with retaliation, I am sure. My son has already been pulled over and his vehicle searched, and forced to take a breathalyzer...he blew a 000. After holding him for several hours, they called me and let him go. Because I started to stand up to them by pleading not guilty and requesting a jury trial...I am afraid for my son who is not a problem child. He makes decent grades, and takes regular drug tests to participate in sports at school, and has never been in trouble. Somebody has got to know.

Gingrich stated:

"My Prediction to you is that either before we lose a city or, if we are truly stupid, after we lose a city, we will adopt rules of engagement that use every technology that we can find to break up their capacity to use the internet, to break up their capacity to use free speech, and to go after people who want to kill us to stop them recruiting people before they get to reach out and convince young people to destroy their lives while destroying us."

"I want to suggest to you right now that we should empanelling people to look seriously at a level of supervision that we would never dream of if it were not for the scale of this threat. This is a serious long term war and it will lead us to want to know what is said in every suspect place in the country, it will lead to us to learn how to close down every website that is dangerous."

My brother is 29 and wants to join the armed forces...he says he is willing to join any branch. He was a hockey player in college and has had several surgeries on his shoulder and knee. He has been denied in the past to enter the Marines due to his past injuries, but I don't know how selective the other branches are compared to the Marines.

How many people will honor our fallen? And how will you do it? I hung my flag and am watching the movie "Pearl Harbor". Let us not forget that Pearl Harbor was the Twin Towers of the 1940's.

Can I take them to small claims court for defamation of character, and time lost at work as well as my 120 dollar phone bill?
