"Yes, I sit on the Committee, but I don't actually do anything. So don't blame me."
"We need solar power!(just don't actually, y'know, build it)
I think the Kurds are a bit more practical. And damn, there's some lovely ladies there!
Some of the Obamessiah's followers are getting even more freakin' strange.
Gay Patriot points out what some have noted before(himself included) and some just don't like to consider: the Heller decision can be seen as a victory for gay rights, too.
Don't you just love the 'we can't drill out of this problem' crap from people who burn fuel like it doesn't cost? Oh, wait, it's probably the people of California paying for it, so it doesn't cost him anything. And the drilling rigs twenty or thirty miles out might spoil his view, too.
And let's not forget just where a lot of gun ownership restrictions got started, and why:
The earliest case in which the Supreme Court discusses what are our individual rights as citizens is Dred Scott v. Sanford in 1856 - a case in which seven of the nine Justices decided that blacks could not be citizens - slave or free - because citizenship:
"would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went."In that I count: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, and the rights to keep and bear arms outside of any mention of militia service.
And finally, when a politician changes positions at the whim of a poll or court decision, it ticks me off; but for the Believers, it just makes Obama a better guy. Damn.
