Politics & Government - 15 January 2007

In my government textbook it says that fighting words which includes profanity, obceniy, and threats are not protected speech by the constitution. Then it talks about how fighting words don't always have to be spoken, for example a guy wore a shirt that said "**** the draft" and the Supreme Court ruled that the shirt was fine because forbidding the use of certain words was limiting ideas. This seems contradictory to me. Can someone explain to me how this works?

Send every politician that voted for the war to IRAQ...none will be allowed to return until IRAQ is a solid democracy.

This includes the entire Bush adminisration...they must feel the chaos and horror that they caused PERSONALLY.

These wealthy cowards will replace our soldiers...that do not deserve to be caught in a WAR that they did not start.

There would be a lot less war if our rotten politicians knew they had to serve on the FRONT LINES where they should be.

ok here goes:

President Bush is expected to veto another bill for Stem Cell Research. He says he doesn't agree with this research because "it requires the taking of a human life" even though it could save the lives of millions.

The thing I'm failing to understand is...

1) millions of women have abortions regardless of whether it has to do with Stem Cells or not.

2) scientists have found a way to extract Stem Cells from the embryonic fluid.

3) did Bush not just send 20,000+ soldiers to Iraq?

Tell me what you think.

Do you get mad over all this stuff that Bush is doing and do you agree that he needs to be impeached? Hasn't he done enough to this country?

A majorty of celebrties( im talking about the liberal ones because a majortiy of celebeties are) think they are smart and talk about their dumb liberal views. The freakin most popualr newspaper ( the New York TImes is very liberal)
Our country needs to stop listening to all these dumb libs and put on some O'Reily and Levin

If either of the 2 U.S. senators from the state of Ohio should become incapable of performing his/her duties, then it would be up to the governor of Ohio to find someone to fill the vacant office, or to call for a special election. In which amendment is this provision found??

that the US penal system is absurd??? If it were up to me, I would NOT prosecute anyone for drug use or prostitution....Rape would dealt according to circumstance and the only thing I would focus on would be murder/attempted murder, abuse/weapon attacks and animal abuse etc....but drug abuse and prostitution have made this system largely ineffective. Am I right or am I right?
