the UN is trying to strip american citizens of thier right to bear arms
what is your opinion of this and would you be willing to join the UN in the fight to do so even if it meant invading the US to force this policy upon american citizens?

"Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old, enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement." --Pete Stark (D-CA), 10/18/07

Its In bill, S.1710 the Labor/HHS/Education spending bill that’s being debated in the Senate right now.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/T?&report=sr107&dbname=110&

Do a search on “Clinton” a whole bunch of times (she has quite a few line items in this bill, $500k here, $250k there, $1.5 million over there) and you’ll eventually land at this earmark.
$950k for the New School’s Institute for Urban Education, sponsored by Hillary and Sen. Chuck Schumer that your favorite fundraiser just happens to have been a board member of.

I’m reminded of this fun quote of her husband’s from a 1997 press conference.
I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution.
Yup. That’s how the Clintons roll, isn’t it.

Liberals are perennially enraged that Republicans are allowed to talk back. For years, this wasn't a problem, because, in Lenin's immortal words, they had seized the telegraph office. There were only three TV stations, three major newspapers, and a handful of national magazines, all run by liberals. But at least since Rush Limbaugh got a microphone, liberals haven't been able to make arguments in a vacuum.

Here is what i think it is.

First of all, if you don't know the origin of the terms "left-wing" and "right-wing" I suggest you look it up.

People from the right tend to believe that certain groups of people are superior to others based on their nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and or social class. The more right-wing a person is, the more this is true.

This explain's con's "english only", ultra-nationalism, hatred of mexicans (& french, gays, muslims, etc) inability to bring in blacks and jews to their side, respect for the rich, scorn for the poor (who they call lazy), christian fundamentalism, and long held hatred for feminists (who believe in equal rights).

hint: it has to do with their policies of the last 8 years and some chickens that will come home to roost, and how they want to be the party out of power and being critical of the democrats when the you know what hists the fan. and how they want to come back and blame it all on democrats.

I'm had fellow Democrats tell me that Communism hasn't ever been done successfully. While I like the idea of individuals cooperating for the greater good, the lack of freedom and the Human Rights violations of Stalin and his Ilk, and as portrayed by Orwell, make me dead-set against Communism and Socialism. What do you think?

The poor are already taxed practically to death. We just want to spend less on wars and prisons, and more on things that matter, like schools and hospitals. Besides, when has a Republicans successfully lowered the spending budget?

According to Qu'ranic teachings and the hadiths, Arab existence prior to the advent of Islam (in the 7th Century AD) is termed a time of darkness and infidelity (jahilya---I think this is the right spelling). Anything that transpired during this Arabic dark age is considered irrelevant to the history of the Muslim community (ummah).
If that is so, than how do claims of Muslim precedence in the area gain acceptability? Sure, Muslims gained control of Jerusalem and parts of modern Israel between the 10th-12th Centuries, but the Jewish tribes were there long before and were only 'dissolved' in 70 AD by the Roman Empire.
Muslims cannot have it both ways. Either Islam reigns pure and they have no primary claim to Israel, or this Qu'ranic declaration must be ignored.........thus ignoring Allah.

Or are you just a gaggle of word twisting Leftist spin machines? (you know who you are, statistics)

Just because you don’t ignore a threat, it does not imply that you fear said threat.

I would submit that the complete opposite is most correct in that, if you stick your head in the sand it is you who fear the threat.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Former Gov. John G. Rowland was sentenced to a year in prison and four months of house arrest Friday for selling his office in a corruption scandal that destroyed his career as one of the Republican Party's brightest and fastest-rising stars.

"I let my pride get in my way," the three-term Republican told U.S. District Judge Peter Dorsey.
