Especially in the case of the student at Kerry's meeting.
I think it is ok to use them ONLY if the person is causing physical harm to the police officer or another person.

Did you see just how mean and nasty those people are? I think this is going to be the scandal that brings Hillary down off her high horse, and she will not be president! We have had enough! How dare she mess with a businessman's rights to run a business! Shame!

This is exactly what the second amendment says: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Why do conservatives seem to conveniently forget the first part of the sentence? Doesn't this amendment mean that Congress cannot prevent a State from arming it's citizens in order to form, not a "militia," not even a "regulated militia," but a "well regulated militia." It seems to me that not only does this amendment allow for gun control, but in fact, it encourages it. Interpreting this amendment to mean that any citizen (or non-felon) has a Constititional right to own and/or carry a gun is preposterous.

Why would they go after this man who fights for our freedoms? This has been a very upsetting time for me/us conservatives.

I only hope that it has woken up Americans to what Democrats stand for, and its not the troops! I have had a hard time sleeping actually, since the ad aired in that magazine..

with all the electoral f*** ups in Florida and Iowa...and tampured e-voting machines and the lobbiests pushing to get e-voting everywhere...some say more than half of all votes are made electronically...numerous programmers claim that the machines can be easily and undetectably tampered with...I'm an environmentalist but i have no problem using tones of paper for BALLOTS...it's the only way to protect your vote. do you listen to them when they say "oh these hanging chads and holes don't line up with the candidates name....what a hastle. let's use our wonderful and infaluable technology."

I walked into the children's department of a library to use the computer for a printjob. The librarian told me that I cannot use the computer because "children need to use it for homework." There is no posting/message that says that. One computer was vacant and no one else was using it. She told me to go downstairs into the main library and use the computers there. I am 16 years old and no one in the past told me that I could not use a computer in the children's department. Should I consult the librarian's boss about the matter?

Since they hate Black's I would think they vote against the democrats. But then they hate jews also. And Republicans seem to be heavily influnced by the RJC. Where does that leave the racists?

The U.S. constitution was created over 200 years ago.

The world has changed drastically since that time. For example, technology and racial mindsets.

Should a diverse panel of the most intelligible figures in the U.S. sit down in a room for a few months and rewrite the constitution?

Also, if you think it should be rewritten... what would be included or excluded today?

In YOUR opinion...

Get caught coming in...mulligan. A bus ride home and a next-day-do-over - check. Make it through and get caught, appear in Court, get a hearing date, skip bail...mulligan. Check. Find a place to live in a safe city, get sick, get free care and meds at the local ER - check. Find a job, get 10 X what you could have made at home, pay no taxes, get cash under the table - check. Have kids (marriage - optional) at the ole ER (paid for by the locals). Put them in school (paid for by the locals) and refuse for them to learn the language (spoken by the locals). Get them into college free or at a resident's tuition rate (paid for by the locals) - check. Come on hard times along the way, need food or shelter assistance...maybe some help with the electric bill (paid for by the locals)- check. Make it to retirement, receive Social Security and/or disability until you die (paid for by the locals) - check. Leave whatever's left of your "estate" to your survivors, tax free and with no State intervention...check.

All I have to do in exchange is what? Vote Democrat? Phhhhht...I'll do it as many times per day as you want, man...so long as you all keep that "no ID required" gizmo going...

I am a Democrat, so I am not bashing Hillary, but I do not think she should automatically be elected unless it is based on her own merit. I fear that too many Dems. are automatically voting for her because of her name and what they think BILL will do for our country.

==> According to the US Department of Commerce, a high school graduate earns $1.2 million in a 40-year span compared to $2.1 million for a person with a Bachelor’s degree. A person with a master’s degree has an average earning of $2.5 million in a 40-year span. iii

==> Therefore, a single person with a bachelor’s degree who earns an average $60,000 of taxable income will contribute $11,564 to taxes and welfare annually; in a 40-year span he/she will have contributed $462,560. iv
