If what you mean by that is that you just thought it sounded good when you wrote it, but that it actually means nothing and you can’t explain it, then yes, I agree.
If what you mean by that is that it’s a free country and you can do and say what you without concern for accuracy or accountability, then yes, I agree.
If what you mean by that is that your statement was so obviously correct and easily understood, that your explaining it would be a waste of time, then I think you should explain it.

OK, DAVE,(you must be a killjoy to live with!) I'll explain, even though I don't think you are THAT stupid that you don't know what I was inferring. The fear for Obama's safety is on everyone's mind, at least those who support him. Making a comment like Huckabee did only stirs the pots of those who think hurting him may be a good idea. You know who I mean! Perhaps, the very people he was addressing, not all of them, but there may have been one or two in that gu toting audience. It was unnecessary, insensitive, ignorant, not at all CHRISTIAN, and down right mean. If a Dem made a comment like that they'd be called unAmerican-no wait-A TERRORIST!!!

Where, in the Constitution, does it say anyone has a right to happiness? Where, in the Bill of Rights, does it say anyone has a right to happiness?
Where, in the Declaration of Independence does it say anyone has a right to happiness?
What it says in the Declaration of Independence is " ... life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness." Happiness is not a right, but we do have a right to chase (pursue) that happiness.
I remember the big deal made by the Dems when Bush lost the popular vote but won the electoral college.
In California, a large majority voted against gay marriage, but four judges out of seven went against the wishes of the people. That one judicial vote was seen to be worth more than 70% of the people. How does that make any sense? Once again, activist judges overruled the will of the people.

Not being activists, simply interpreting the constitution. I believe, if you refer to old civics book of yours, you'll see that, that is what their job is. Not to side with politicians. They are the branch of government assigned to uphold the constitution. Remember Civics class? Checks and balances? Ring any bells??? Why does all of this bother you? If you don't like it, don't practice it. Nobody is making you. Live and let live Gramps. You'll be much happier if you keep your nose out of everyone's bedroom.

<quoted text>Wrong again tube-steak. FS and I initially supported two different candidates. I moved over to Obama and she Hillary when our first choices dropped out. In fact I will only vote for Hillary because she is not a republican.

TUBE STEAK!!! I LOVE THIS ONE!!! LOL!!!

I guess we know what she's in need of.

AIDS-another good reason for free health care. California judges-ensuring we have the same moral standards as monkeys. And the judges are not quite as smart as many of the monkey species. Forcing their looney ideas on the rest of us, and then forcing us to pay for it. Making the minority of idiots happy. Especially the unrepentant mouthy PMS ones.

What a creaky old bandwagon. The activist judges debate is right up there with intelligent design. They only seem to be activist judges when they make a ruling that social conservatives disagree with.
Less than 50 years ago, miscegenation was legal in over 25 states and the will of the electorate more than supported it [some states still would as bigotry is alive and well as you can see from this T Bone character] so I'm not certain of the point that simply because there seems to be a consensus that the result is just or valid. Albeit extreme, Hitler had a country behind him and the Spaniards supported the Inquisition. History is replete with injustices forced upon others with the blessing of the majority. It goes on and on and the examples, stripped down, remain the same. There are those who will attempt to supress others based on questionable criteria.
One has to be allowed to persue happiness. It is self evident that all men are created equal. Marriage is granted by the government. All tax paying citizens of all orientations should legally be able to receive it. Same sex marriage is accepted in many countries and now 2 states. Nobody in Massachusetts has turned into a pillar of salt and there is no documentation years later that there have been any negative ramifications on any front in any country. The prevailing argument is rooted in religious dogma and intolerance which has always spelled trouble. Civil matters should be and are sorted out on the bench, not the pew.
The ball is rolling throughout the world but there will always be those who ascribe to the anthesis of reason.
Fortunately, the old social mantras of the republican party have become stale and tired. Having lost 3 house seats, the most recent one held since 1994 in Mississippi of all places, 85% of the country unhappy with the path we have been led down by a President with the lowest approval rating in the history of the Gallup poll, I believe the future of the republican party is also 'self evident' and it's none too soon.

Because he's a mean spirited, miserable, closed minded, ignorant, hateful redneck, with nothing better to do but stick his nose in other people's business.

The following is a rough tally of the names Fs has called me during the past nearly two years:
Mean spirited..........15 maybe more
Miserable..........18
Close minded..........09
Ignorant..........17
Hateful redneck.........39
Nothing to do..........12
Favorable/complimentary.00
Margin of error.........20% or more.
Gee, thanks Fs. You are a real sweetheart and inspiration. FWIW, life must be lived with love and humor. Love to understand. Humor to endure. Take a ride on your broom and get some fresh air.

Surely you did not go back and count from all of my more spirited posts, for I am sure that the count would be much higher than you have recorded here! Especially the usage of "REDNECK"!!! It seems to suit you so perfectly. And of course, by now, you must know that I mean it in the kindest of ways! <[;^)
