Are you a liberal who is pro-life? Are you a conservative who wants gun control?

I "typically" fall under liberal, but don't agree with all of the typical points of view. I was just curious if there are other liberals like myself, or if any conservatives run into similar issues.

I was wondering if anyone thinks the 18th and 21st amendment should be removed from the Constitution?

Can they be removed?

Do they represent a lesson to us about banning personal choices?

Answers pointing towards a Constitutional Amendment are referred! Thanks!

Harry Reid tries to take credit for the Limbaugh Ebay letter, always saying "we" in his speech as if he was part of it.

Not to mention, ABC made it sound in a statement that the democrats were the ones responsible for the money donated to charity from the letter.

On television in the 70s, John Kerry (real last name Kohn) admitted to war atrocities while serving in Vietnam.

When is the murder trial, since there is no statute of limitations on murder. If you admit to murder, isn't that sufficient evidence to have a trial and convict?

This is about John Kerry, not Bush, so answer the question, or go march around with your stupid signs somewhere for the cameras.

" The new issue of Arms Control Today offers a perfect microcosm of what's wrong with the missile defense debate, such as it is. Its feature package is a staged set-piece in which all of the players are present in costume: You've got Lt. Gen. Henry A. Obering of the Missile Defense Agency spouting the same old official line; you've got Ellen Tauscher questioning the efficacy of the system but not the wisdom of placing it in Russia's European backyard; and then you've got the bearded eggheads on the sidelines of power who actually understand and can explain why the Russians are freaking. As in an absurdist play, everyone is talking past each other.

There is one clash of specifics that creates a spark or two in the debate. It occurs over the question of whether the interceptor missiles slated for Poland would be capable of catching up with Russia's ICBM's. Argues Lt. Gen. Obering: "

"Our imperial war in Iraq is more important than the truth about the Armenians".

What if Ahmadinejad had said "our popularity with the Palestinians is more important than the truth about the Holocaust"?

Is there any greater hypocrite than today's neoconservative?

Rupert Murdoch spreads his political agenda into nearly every living room in America by buying up TV stations and other media across the country. Right now, the Federal Communications Commission is rushing through rule changes that would let moguls like Murdoch own even more newspapers and stations. Murdoch's media empire already includes the Fox Television, Fox News Channel, a maze of cable networks, radio stations, hundreds of newspapers around the world, and even Internet sites like MySpace. Recently, he gobbled up the Wall Street Journal and launched the Fox Business Network. The media are our prime source of news and information. When we let a few giant conglomerates control so many outlets, quality journalism turns into junk media, and our democracy suffers.

I do. It's about time someone in Washington told the truth.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.

Take note that Dubya, Texas cowboy wannabee, did not want to reform social security while in college. He wanted to elminate it like plenty of other cons do.

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

"California Assembly Denies In-state Tuition To Military

Higher Ed Cmte denies Asm Mark Wyland’s request to put guardians of our freedom before illegals

Sacramento - The Assembly Higher Education Committee today rejected a bill (AB 2472) authored by Assemblyman Mark Wyland (R-74) that would have rescinded the law allowing illegal aliens to pay in-state tuition and eliminated the one-year residency rule for reservists and veterans and their dependents needed to qualify for in-state tuition.

"We are all the more reconciled to the tax on importations, because it falls exclusively on the rich, and with the equal partition of intestate's estates, constitutes the best agrarian law.. Our revenues once liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., and the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spare a cent from his earnings."

Guiliani is an even bigger imperialist than Bush, and Clinton is simply a less honest version of Bush the imperialist.
