SAPS?!? No wonder they're having problems. Sorry, couldn't resist..

It means that the populace is paying attention. What they're seeing is Guardsmen being activated and sent to Iraq, and those who are on active duty being "stop-lossed" and extended in their tours of duty, or routinely being recalled from the Inactive Ready Reserves and THEN stop-lossed on top...

Their sandbox, their rules. It really is that simple. If you feel that your life is at risk by working or being at that facility, then go work somewhere else. Or, as was mentioned, inform them that your family has instructions to bring civil action against them if something happens to you at...

If the above is accurate, then I am inclined to believe this was a case of self-defense. With the RMN, accuracy is not always at a premium, however.

That was Calvin Coolidge. I think he still holds the records for most vetoes by any president. IMO, totally underappreciated by historians. He did more to curb the expansion of government than any president I can recall. Unfortunately, the present administration has done MORE to expand the...

I have very low expectations and I fully expect Bush to meet them. Pretty much what I was thinking. Which president used to send bills back to the Congress with the words: "I find no authority in the Constitution for the government to undertake that which is outlined in this bill."...

I think guns are going to be off the radar almost entirely for quite a while. I don't see that as a good thing, nor is it really a BAD thing, IMO, since the vast majority of the legislation in that area has worked against us in the recent past. With Bush's tacit approval of the now-defunct...

I've read Arver as well, and while I recognize the essence of the decision I disagree with it. I'm quite certain we all have at least a few SC decisions with which we disagree. :) IMO, if the people of a country are not willing to collectively rise up in their own defense voluntarily, then...

The vast majority of the state's elected officials (both parties) have come out against it, as have both Pete Coors and Ken Salazar (the two senate candidates). The Greeley Tribune called a "NO" vote on its editorial page. I think it's going to go down hard, as well it should. If it passed...

And that isn't going to change one little bit after the upcoming election, unfortunately. :banghead:

SW, Do you think Coors will win here in CO? He is coming across as totally uninformed on a LOT of major issues from where I'm sitting. Kudos to Gov. Owens and the "leadership" for torpedoing Bob Schaffer by recruiting Coors. I think they cost themselves a seat.

Bartolomew Roberts put forth the statement: Bubbles (who started the thread) quoted that statement in a reply post with the header: I hope there isn't any further doubt as to which elected official is being discussed. And among GOP elected officials who don't deserve the vote of pro-gun...

Actually, if you look at the post near the bottom of the first page you will find: It would seem that Frank Wolf is definitely the elected official being discussed, and he is DEFINITELY anti-gun.

I've gotten into the habit of listening to "Air America" during my drive to and from work. Randi Rhoads is usually on while I'm in the car, and she cracks me up, to be honest. How someone could try to come off as so informed and intelligent and then be THAT wrong on almost every single issue is...

I don't know what the rules are for amending the U.N. Charter, but it is also my understanding that the nations that have permanent seats on the Security Council (U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China) are ineligible when it comes to the General Secretary position. But as was mentioned, that...

From one of the related articles:

I'm going to vote the Friday before election day. Our power plant will be in the midst of an outage (heavy workload) on Nov. 2nd and I probably will be at work during all the hours the polls will be open that day. Not gonna say how I'm voting because too many of you won't like it. :)

The lefties already own the DNC, and they have a nice piece of real estate amongst the Republicans, too.

IMO, that flies in the face of the language of the decision. I'm also not a lawyer, nor have I ever played one on TV, but I can read for comprehension. :) If "stop loss" goes on long enough, I think we'll see a serious decline in recruiting. I know I wouldn't want to give the government an...

My brain hurts from reading that! :scrutiny: I disagree with the decision, because I believe in the sovereignty of the individual and not the state. And I found the final statement sort of telling: Does that mean that if we are in a "police action" (Viet Nam, Korea) instead of a declared...
