when our forefathers wrote the bill of rights, they had no idea we'd be so driven by pride and power and control that we would use our "arms" to manipulate, rob, hurt, and kill our fellow countrymen. They were for protection from the British. that was the motive. we have lost our rights by misusing it.
Obama is a complete idiot. His pastor is racist and in a way, so is he. He is pro gun control, wants to make the legal age to own a gun 21. How stupid can you get? If you are pro gun control, you support having all of our other rights taken away. If a democrat wins, this country will have NO rights, just like Australia. I don't like McCain, but he's better than socialist change.
Making the legal age to own a gun 21 is probably the least of your worries regarding obama. Infact, Hillary and obama tried in the past to make semi-automatic weapons illegal... I remember when clintons tried to make knives (other than cooking knives, lol) illegal. The best argument for anti-gun control is the statistics of crime with and without guns.
I think citizens should be able to defend themselves so I am very much in favor of the second amendment. I own a .45 ACP. I do think people should get safety training as a prerequisite.
I do think people should be able to defend themselves, hunt, go to the shooting range with friends/family, and let the police carry guns even on off duty. Obama is against these things.
Can't say I agree with him on all issues. I have a handgun which is a pretty impressive accomlishment when compared with other countries. I do think there are some standards that should be met mostly in terms of safety guidelines and mental stability.
at obama website you will see ther are no plans for making the gun age 21. Obama will let you keep ur gun Take the time to read his policies for yourself. he want 2 repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information He supports closing the gun show loopholes & make guns childproof. He supports the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
Repealing the tiahrt amendment has a 1984 big brother theme to it... Making a gun childproof (humanproof )has already been done with the required trigger locks. Federal assault weapon ban is ridiculous, a gun is a gun, same outcome... that's taking a bite out of the 2nd amendment.
"That gun looks evil, so it should be banned"
I take it old war guns, like the m1-carbine and ect will be the next banned guns.
The important question is how much firepower do you need and how easily can that firepower be used to wipe out innocent people. I am not completely opposed to allowing more powerful guns to people who have a safe history behind them. I think requiring a license it completely appropriate as long as there are clear unambiguous rules.
John, your ideals would be neat but it doesn't seem realisitic- without impeding on our liberties. Remember, criminals inparticular, can get guns regardless of the laws. Again, I respect your opinion but it doesnt seem realistic.
One interesting thing that has been happening is the ability to manufacture ammunition that is traceable to the point of sale. It doesn't help in the case of crimes of passion or accidents, but it does make it harder to commit premeditated crime. The crimes of passion are the ones I think would be reduced by licensing weapons.
How do you feel about legalization or at least decriminalization of drugs?
Obama is the thinking man's choice. He is a little inexperienced, but in DC that is not necessarily a bad thing. He is very intelligent, articulate, level headed, and well studied. McCain is a delusional cranky old geezer. Hillary is vain and self centered.
I believe in change. Hope too. Obama is about change and hope. I believe in change and hope. Obama has change and hope. I hope Obama and I share the same beliefs. Im part of the Obama Nation 2008.
One last thing john, I just have to say that the reasons for you liking Obama seem secondary priorities- because there superficial. Here's what i mean, you like him for his self-confidence, the way he talks- grace under pressure and collective. Not only are these secondary priorities for the right person but MANY people who are not qualified to lead have them. For example, charles manson. He talks so good, so truthful sounding, so pleasing that he convinced people to kill for him. JMHO.
I don't agree 100% with his policies. One thing I know for sure is that I disagree 100% with McCain. Reaganism has reduced the economy to tatters in a single generation.
Reaganomics is the cutting of government spending/taxes/regulations which increases the incentive to work thereby making it more revenues for the goverment. Reaganomics worked excellent in terms of total revenues.
But it didn't help with the deficit because the democrat congress wouldn't cut down on spending!
Reaganomics deregulation allows corporations to externalize costs to society. The corporation makes the profit, and the public suffers the cost. There is a movie called "The Corporation" which I would encourage you to see. Reaganomics (trickle down or supply side economics) does not work for the US anymore because investors are taking their profits and investing them overseas.
Also John, the "war" in iraq is spending so much because it's not actually a war, but rather, a man hunt. If it was a true war, we'd just level the place with bombs- there would be no hills to hide. Anyways, it's an either or decision and both decisions seem to have negative consequences. For instance, if we leave it means were not helping-isolationists, but if we stay, yes spending will happpen, it's kind of obvious. It comes down to if we want to help or not.
How much tax is proper? John this is probably the biggest issue. Right now taxes are high, if you want i'll start giving numbers, but your party wants them higher. Why would I want to get a good job, and have the desire to achieve great success if the government will garnish a majority of it? Talk about a rotten economy! Specifically, what are you referring too when you when your saying .."conservative christians have in mind coupled with the loss of our civil rights."..
How much tax is proper? At the rate at which we're spending they are obviously not high enough. We've gotten to the point where a huge chunk of what we pay goes into servicing the interest on the debt. We should eliminate that once and for all. Have the fed give the government a ZERO interest loan to pay it off.
Defense spending is off the charts as well, that is the second biggest chunk of cash our taxes go to. It is not the TAX that matters, it is the WASTE of our money that I care about.
Giving the government a zero interest loan seems to have a lot of negative consequences. Also, democrats spend more then republicans. And no shit, defense is spending off the charts because we're in a war.
The only problems that arise is if the debt is not paid back. The interest of the FED is one of the principle causes of inflation, and it is one of our biggest tax burdens. The federal government can create a bank and create loans the same way the fed does, only not charge itself interest.
John, you seem like you prefer outward qualities moreso then inward qualities. Yes Barrack talks in a pleasing manner, but in reality, he is very leftwing. This is what i mean by "leftwing" in a nutshell ; want to significantly raise taxes, increase government role in our lives-"nanny state", and discourage big/small business (especially hillary, example -she wanted to make private medical practices, like a dentist's office, illegal). Tell me what you think about these topics john.
It is no secret that I am liberal. I think private health insurance has proven to be a boondoggle and a fraud. The drug companies are screwing the American consumer. The US economy is failing because of Reaganomics. The huge corporations that run everything have proven to have no loyalty or responsibility to the health of their host country. Liberals want a check on power, and that generally takes place through nationalization or regulation.
Ok but that's not what i asked for john. I asked you what your opinion was on the following: Raising taxes, ever increasing government role, eventually a "nannystate", which obviously counteracts with what America is about- freedom, and the discouragement of business.
I think there is a proper amount to tax. I think defense spending and the occupation in Iraq is a HUGE waste. If there are any "nanny" states it is what the conservative christians have in mind coupled with the loss of our civil rights. Government has a role to play in keeping corporate power in check.
I needed to see this! Thanks for posting. As a black woman, I agreed with everything you've said (did I need to state that I was a black woman? I guess so...That was rhetorical)
You were "blown away" by Obama...Obama is a "breath of fresh air." Hey John Williams, do you have gas issues? Maybe an air freshener is needed in your room. LOL
Oh yeah, there are videos that put context around the inflammatory statements that makes it pretty damn clear the Wright is not a hate monger nor a racist. I know what the trick is, and that is to give people the worst possible first impression. Don't tell me you don't know exactly what I am talking about.
You are either blind, ignorant, or stupid, or all three. The "trick" is YOU refusing to see the forest for the trees. This is supposed to a man who wants to be president of ALL the USA and for 20 years belongs to a hatemongering church where the USA is "damned." Don't piss in a glass and tell everyone it is apple juice.
It is NOT a hatemongering church. I saw the whole sermon and Wright is not a hate monger. Those particular comments are incendiary and offensive, but you sir live in a glass house. Why do you project your feelings on others?
If it is not a hatemongering church, why isn't Wright preaching love and forgiveness, and racial harmony? Should he preach God BLESS America when Africa, his ancestral home, is not looking like a better plan. If you make a good oratory and the word fuck is used 10 times, it cheapens the entire speech, and if Wright praised Jesus 90% of the speeches he made, they are all tainted by the 10% he used to use incendiary, hateful, and yes, racist commentary...and Obama condoned the hateful dialogue.
He was making a point that hate begets hate and violence begets violence. You just don't like the idea he used the US as an example. That is just too bad because what he said happens to be TRUE. I really couldn't care less about the sanctity of your denial.
It happens to be true because of merchants of racebaiting on HIS side like Sharpton, Jackson, and Wright...only Obama supports them. He has been photographed with all three of those racist bastards but that is okay with you because you were "blown away" with his excuses excuses speech where he attacked his own grandmother, who raised him after his black father and white momma abandoned him. Obama uses race just as much as the Clintons, he just can say more snap because he is black.
Why do you choose to ignore that he addressed all of the insecurities we ALL have of each other? You are looking for racism where there is none. It is people like you that plant the seeds of divide in this country, this world for that matter. All human beings are 97% synchronic. We are all the same genetically, yet we choose to hold the 3% to a higher degree as if it were all there ever was. Just because some individuals may be racist, doesn't mean you should be. Be the change YOU want to see.
Sorry, I was replying to fumetti. I should have clarified. But I completely agree with you. I don't think we should forget the past, but we should also do our best to make sure we don't repeat those mistakes. If it ever does happen again, racism will be the trigger. We need to realize that race is nothing more than a label that divides human beings. When in fact we are all human. The human race is indeed the only race. Once this is established in the minds of others, we can truly admire..
Obama is toast. It is over for him. He blamed the Reagan Revolution and talk radio on "fear." No, it was hope. Obama cannot recover from this. You are the only white male voting for him...and you will look ridiculous in an Obama rally.
You still have not addressed why Obama called for the firing of Don Imus for racial speech he did NOT hear on the radio, yet allowed his kids to listen to the hate speech of Jeremiah Wright...but that is okay? Obama is a fucking hypocrite. He is toast.
Reagan was an actor bought and paid for by General Electric to erode the institutional memory of former corporate crime. Reagan's welfare queen never existed, it was a myth to drive a wedge between people. The powerful interests in this country want us fighting each other. Bush is the logical conclusion to all this and he is an unmitigated DISASTER.
You sound like another stoned 60s hippie searching for the next Bobby Kennedy. Reagan was one of our best presidents, better than your girlfriend Bill Clinton and even better than your wife, Jimmy Carter.
Reagan was mentally challenged, and that is putting it kindly. That is the only reason he survived contra-gate. Or are you becoming a little forgetful yourself?
Oh you are just mad your big hero Jimmy Carter got blown away in November 1980 and his protege Walter Mondale lost 49 STATES in 1984. Obviously, their messages failed. How was welfare used properly? I have heard stories of abuse of the system for years. There was very little exaggeration. I have MET people who have bragged about abusing the system. It is not a myth, it is a reality ignorant liberals want to discard because they fear alienating any minority votes.
You speak like someone who has never been to an Obama rally. Neither have I. But I have seen videos and you would be incorrect to assume that I would be the only white person there. I will leave you to conduct your own research as to the magnitude of your error.
The only whites in Obama rallies are college age students, barely able to vote. Young people are the least reliable voting group. Hell, even Obama Girl didn't vote for the bastard.
Hey meathead, there are very few white collar or even blue collar white men who support Obama. After he flip flopped over NAFTA, the whites overwhelmingly support Hillary or McCain. You are stupid, but ignorant at least. LOL
It is only progress when YOU get off the Obama train...he will lose huge numbers, and the white vote is going to play a key in this year's election season.
Your portfolio is invented if you claim to anything more than roll your own and live in a hippie commune. I would be happy to compare; I think you are a fraud.
so 17 minutes of speech erase in your mind 17years of following a hate filled pastor? Ok lets forgive his lapse of judgment and poor leadership. But maybe forgiving him and making him president are very different. i will hold out for a candidate with better leadership.
He's a used car salesman, of course he has fake confidence and glib. Mr. Barack (He who's name cannot be said) Obama is in deeper doo-doo today by referring to his Grandmother's racist feelings as the 'typical white person'.
Wow you guys are looking for anything you can use as fodder to paint him as something he is not. Fear of black men is what led to the success of the Willie Horton ad, or are you going to attempt to deny that? It is pretty well documented and thankfully on the decline. Maybe it is not typical now but it was very typical not so long ago.
Any ambiguity on his part is immediately filled in by you with the worst possible interpretation.
Fear of the black man? The Horton ads highlighted prison furloughs, which was an idea of the Dukakis governorship. Horton DID rape people on furlough. Where was the ad incorrect? If Horton was white, would you have been happier, you stoned 60s hippie?
I think the Horton ad was very fair, just like the James Byrd ad was used against the GOP in Texas...but when racial politics is played against the GOP that is okay, right?
Or that you are a burned out 1960s freak using double standards.
Bzzt. Incorrect. Dukakis did not institute the furlough program, it was a Republican, Francis Sargent, who started the furlough program. It was Dukakis who finally ended it. The fascists always play tough on crime, or hadn't you noticed? It was this presidential campaign when it became fashionable to deride liberals as card carrying members of the ACLU. Meet GWB who uses the constitution to wipe his ass.
Calling me a hippie only further proves how utterly delusional you are.
Buzzzz....Dukakis supported furloughs as a method of criminal rehabilitation. After the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that this right extended to first-degree murderers, the Massachusetts legislature quickly passed a bill prohibiting furloughs for such inmates. However, in 1976, ***Governor Dukakis vetoed this bill.*** The program was abolished during Dukakis's final term of office on April 28, 1988...yes, his FINAL term.
Dukakis supported the idea and vetoed a bill which would have prevented furloughs continuing, in 1976, the first year of his governerhsip, asshole. Parsing words does nothing more than show you are a crybaby nitpicker. Dukakis finally abolished them in his FINAL year as governor, when he was running for president. It makes YOU a FOOL. LOL

Reagan was an actor bought and paid for by General Electric to erode the institutional memory of former corporate crime. Reagan's welfare queen never existed, it was a myth to drive a wedge between people. The powerful interests in this country want us fighting each other. Bush is the logical conclusion to all this and he is an unmitigated DISASTER.

You sound like another stoned 60s hippie searching for the next Bobby Kennedy. Reagan was one of our best presidents, better than your girlfriend Bill Clinton and even better than your wife, Jimmy Carter.

Reagan was mentally challenged, and that is putting it kindly. That is the only reason he survived contra-gate. Or are you becoming a little forgetful yourself?
j0hnwi11iams 4 years ago
Oh you are just mad your big hero Jimmy Carter got blown away in November 1980 and his protege Walter Mondale lost 49 STATES in 1984. Obviously, their messages failed. How was welfare used properly? I have heard stories of abuse of the system for years. There was very little exaggeration. I have MET people who have bragged about abusing the system. It is not a myth, it is a reality ignorant liberals want to discard because they fear alienating any minority votes.

You speak like someone who has never been to an Obama rally. Neither have I. But I have seen videos and you would be incorrect to assume that I would be the only white person there. I will leave you to conduct your own research as to the magnitude of your error.

The only whites in Obama rallies are college age students, barely able to vote. Young people are the least reliable voting group. Hell, even Obama Girl didn't vote for the bastard.

Oh you mean you're willing to admit there are whites there now. Progress. Slow, but progress.

Hey meathead, there are very few white collar or even blue collar white men who support Obama. After he flip flopped over NAFTA, the whites overwhelmingly support Hillary or McCain. You are stupid, but ignorant at least. LOL

so 17 minutes of speech erase in your mind 17years of following a hate filled pastor? Ok lets forgive his lapse of judgment and poor leadership. But maybe forgiving him and making him president are very different. i will hold out for a candidate with better leadership.

He's a used car salesman, of course he has fake confidence and glib. Mr. Barack (He who's name cannot be said) Obama is in deeper doo-doo today by referring to his Grandmother's racist feelings as the 'typical white person'.

Wow you guys are looking for anything you can use as fodder to paint him as something he is not. Fear of black men is what led to the success of the Willie Horton ad, or are you going to attempt to deny that? It is pretty well documented and thankfully on the decline. Maybe it is not typical now but it was very typical not so long ago.
Any ambiguity on his part is immediately filled in by you with the worst possible interpretation.
j0hnwi11iams 4 years ago
Fear of the black man? The Horton ads highlighted prison furloughs, which was an idea of the Dukakis governorship. Horton DID rape people on furlough. Where was the ad incorrect? If Horton was white, would you have been happier, you stoned 60s hippie?
I think the Horton ad was very fair, just like the James Byrd ad was used against the GOP in Texas...but when racial politics is played against the GOP that is okay, right?
Or that you are a burned out 1960s freak using double standards.
fumetti 4 years ago
Bzzt. Incorrect. Dukakis did not institute the furlough program, it was a Republican, Francis Sargent, who started the furlough program. It was Dukakis who finally ended it. The fascists always play tough on crime, or hadn't you noticed? It was this presidential campaign when it became fashionable to deride liberals as card carrying members of the ACLU. Meet GWB who uses the constitution to wipe his ass.
Calling me a hippie only further proves how utterly delusional you are.
j0hnwi11iams 4 years ago
Buzzzz....Dukakis supported furloughs as a method of criminal rehabilitation. After the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that this right extended to first-degree murderers, the Massachusetts legislature quickly passed a bill prohibiting furloughs for such inmates. However, in 1976, ***Governor Dukakis vetoed this bill.*** The program was abolished during Dukakis's final term of office on April 28, 1988...yes, his FINAL term.
fumetti 4 years ago
You SAID it was his idea. Go back and read the comments. You misrepresented the truth. That makes you a LIAR.
j0hnwi11iams 4 years ago
Dukakis supported the idea and vetoed a bill which would have prevented furloughs continuing, in 1976, the first year of his governerhsip, asshole. Parsing words does nothing more than show you are a crybaby nitpicker. Dukakis finally abolished them in his FINAL year as governor, when he was running for president. It makes YOU a FOOL. LOL
