Wolleybugger made a good point about it being time to move. The rules of this place basically do not encourage reasoned and fact based discussion... What they encourage is drive by third person passive voice name calling. And of the well thought well reasoned conservatives, one or two...

I think you are thinking of the 2 year appropriations limit for military funding. You may also be thinking of The War Powers Act - which is a law Congress passed after the Vietnam War to give a POTUS some ability to engage in limited police actions but within 60 days to have to report to...

Actually there is no such thing. You may be thinking of the limit on any single military approproations bill being 2 years. But that just means you re-authorize funding every year and run overlapping 2 year partial budgets. So there is no such limit. You can't complain about the abuses of...

What is "self-defense" about that? I only see a video of it being used pre-emptively to incapacitate someone who scares you. Since when is that a right?

Gordon - the background checks ARE ALREADY DONE... Every public school teacher.. I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE - has their fingerprints in the FBI Database. Every single one. What Boca doesn't get is that every one of his ideas EXCEPT THE STUPID ONE about shooting off 12 gauge shotguns in classrooms...

What is "illegal" about wha the USA has done? How is it "illegal" to work with a foreign government and provide them with aide? Nor is it even remotely Unconstitutional. The US Constitution does not apply outside anywhere that the USA has controlling jurisdiction. Since the USA has not had...

And its also a case of a bit of "unexamination" of his own approach to firearms. Trap himself has admitted that he keeps firearms IN PART to "feel safer" and being able to be "self-reliant". Well ostensibly being able to "protect yourself" is more powerful than not. So the very sense of being...

Yup.. The NRA also wrote the model legislation that regulated hand guns from the 1920s through the 2000s...

Teachers already get background checks. IN fact so does any volunteer that has extended interactions with children. Teachers even get fingerprinted. Didn't stop the shooters mom from being wackadoodle. And do tell how you can shoot a 12 guage safely with kids running around. Furthermore...

And yet idjits like AmericanPatriot still believe that the MAJORITY of americans support their points of view.. uhuh.

Why should privacy exist WRT something that interferes with your neighbors safety directly? As for "orivate information on every citizen" - that is already there. Everything from your driver's license (with "secure Id" that is now a Federal Database because of immigration issues) to your SSN...

The point is that Congress does not want to do its job... why? Because if you generate actual jobs (rather than tax cuts for the wealthy so they can get another vacation in the Bahamas) then come 2014, Obama and the Dems get the credit for it. OTOH since Obama has been effective in showing the...

Um actually its the "left" that has been complainng for about 30+ years. Ever since "Zero Tolerance" and GOP efforts to reduce the right of habeas and warrantless wiretaps, and mandatory sentencing guidelines, and voting disenfrachisement by caging and voterId laws, and "pissing in a bottle"...

Yes - after positng I realized I meant Gary Indiana where a friend of mine was the crime reporter for many years. but Indianoplis is sitll in Indiana. So again... The proximity of the STATE of Indiana and its cities has what effect on your silly top post?

your "given" isn't "given" at all as Sandyhook demonstrates.
