he implied that the First Amendment applies to commercial expression. It doesn't.


The First Amendment most certainly does apply to commercial speech, and it has since the 1970's.

Keep your chin up--it's not going to be that easy for a pack of Marxists in Washington to wreck this country. We're not 300 million chumps. And some of what's been done can be undone. Remember that Carter helped give us Reagan.

The elections a couple days ago are a clear sign the Democrat Party's in trouble. More than a few politicos think the results made so many "blue dog" Democrats unwilling to support the health care proposal(s) that they're finished. Wait until the elections next year, when Mr. Obama may well lose much of his support in Congress. If that happens, it will hobble him from there on out.

Mr. Lincoln was much wiser than this man. It's true: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time--but you can not fool all of the people, all of the time.

We can replace a president, fix the furniture they broke and stole but we can't deny we live in a country that elected these a** clowns. it makes me feel like I need a shower everytime Pelosi, Reid, or Obama speak and the morons who are morphing into potted plants with eyes look on adoringly. Their numbers grow, the mold is broken we now have a country full of French who can't make cheese or wine.

I just love the knee jerk utopia reaction people have when something happens like the shooting yesterday. Immediately they talk about how to prevent something like that from happening again, as if they can fix everything with 20/20 hindsight. It was a very unusual event and nothing can be done about it to change it or keep it from happening again by regulating anything. When people get that bent, nothing will stop them.

As far as guns are concerned, they are more important now more than ever, because of the threat of terrorism within our own borders.

Using the uprising in Ireland as a "perfect" example is exactly the kind of reasoning that is used to push all of the liberal policies. There was civil unrest. People were going to die one way or another, legal guns or not. That is not a perfect example, it's a very poor example.

But you implied that ALL laws prohibiting commercial speech are unconstitutional, which was completely wrong.

You're on a free, public dating site. Your dating life is EVERYONE on the site's business...duh.


That makes no sense whatsoever. My dating life is the business of the people I date. That's it.

Too bad no Republicans got sent to Washington. That election showed a riff in the Republican party. There is a teabagger Conservative sect now, and then your typical, "moral authority" Republican sect. Good luck trying to unify before next year. Face it, your party divided after McCain failed, and the 23 District election in NY exemplified it when the Democrat won. If the Right were unified, they would have won that election. The Right is a leaderless movement who's only unified in that they don't like Democrats. They are also a party without a meesage other than, "Obama is a socialist, Muslim foreigner who sucks big green donkey peckers." (Gotta have the green donkey peckers for the undereducated folk in the South)

I would be more worried about the Republican and Conservative Parties unifying if I were you.

Like many have said before, with Elemen's attitude, he's home alone.

And Scoocharoo, you're going to get spanked again. (but then maybe you're really askin' for it...:)

Of course that's wrong. It's also not anything I said or implied. All this is off topic here--but evidently, you misunderstood the issue.

Imbie, people often seem like they happen to have an attitude when they are well versed in particular subject matter; such a perception is the price one has to pay for a tendency to challenge ideas. For example, I have no doubt that match knows what he is talking about on this issue--however, I have yet to discern the breath of Elem's knowledge of the issue at hand. May the best man prove his point without a-hom attacks!

You know, I hear that term "teabagger" a lot these days. Could you tell everyone just what it means, and why you use it? I heard it's a reference to a homosexual act--is that true? (Your remarks about other bizarre sex acts makes me think you might know.) If so, how does that give it a place in political discussions?

Your political analysis shows you completely misunderstand what conservatives like me believe in. Otherwise, it's not bad. As far as the 23d race, very few people had even heard of Doug Hoffman a month before the election. And if the Republican candidate hadn't thrown her support to the Democrat candidate when she withdrew--showing her true colors-- Hoffman would almost certainly have won.

I expect the voters to send a lot of Republicans--and conservative ones--to Washington a year from now. So do most of the people who watch politics for a living. Some of them also think the big losses in Virginia and New Jersey will scare away the "blue dog" Democrats who are needed for this health care scheme to survive. If so, it's dead already.

As to this President, I believe he's not only a socialist, but a Marxist. I also believe he loathes almost everything about this country, and that he has warmer feelings for the mullahs in Tehran than he does for Washington, Jefferson, Madison, et al.

I don't go along with the people trying to make an issue of his religion or nationality, because I think it's a distraction from more important issues. But I do know that on both counts, there are legitimate questions--the arguments aren't just ridiculous nonsense, as Mr. Obama's disciples have tried to portray them.

I have one for ya, see that little "history" link next to Einman's name? Click on that and see how nasty he is. Reading his posts in other forums is truly eye-opening.

It's more like a-h*** attacks on his part. His great retort is to call people "ugly."

Match,
You know that "teabagger" is a term used ever since April 15th for those who wish to not pay taxes because the government doesn't use tax dollars to their liking. Yes, it has another meaning, but in the political world it has it's own meaning now. If a homosexual term suit this faction of the Right, then so be it. Perhaps Larry Craig, Ted Haggert or Mark Foley can be their leader.

I do know what Conservatives believe in FYI. I simply said the the Right is slowly dividing into a Conservative Party and a Republican Party. If saying that Republicans fancy themselves the "moral authority" bothers you, then you should e-mail someone, and ask them to take the "family values" aspect out of the Republican mantra.

Regarding your understanding of the 23rd district of NY's election, did you not see that the Republican got 6% of the vote? She didn't withdraw form the race. That's why I said the Right could have won that election had they been unified. You can thank your beloved Sarah Palin for messing up yet another election for your team.

skooch..

Teabaggers was used by those nice folks from MSNBC to demean those that used Tea Bags to protest taxes.... Just like pouring the Tea overboard in Boston to protest taxes.

But you knew that

TEA=Taxed Enough Already is the Tea in Teabaggers from what I have read and to be honest I agree.

Both parties have failed us. Government grew more under the last administration than at any other time I have read. And its growing more now and will continue to do so until citizens wake up and take their lives back. And thats the key.

Seems people from all walks of life, have asked the government to bail them out in some way. How many people on Social Security and Medicare are honest enough to admit they are living off other taxpayers? People get more benefits out of Social Security than they ever paid in. Does make me shake my head in wonderment when I see seniors on Medicare demanding no national healthcare for others.

How many people work for businesses that get corporate welfare? Farm subsidies? Welfare is welfare. How often have we heard comments about the single Mother on welfare and how she isn't paying taxes etc. Anyone ever think about the welfare, the makers of the items she buys, are getting?

^^^^^^Just to get the facts straight, Dede Scozzafava suspended her campaign on Oct. 31. The L.A. Times and other media outlets described this as withdrawing, pulling out, and so on--but she quit. And she released her supporters to Bill Owens, the Democrat candidate who ended up winning the election. The 5 or 6% of the vote she got just represents voters who didn't get the word. If they had, some would have gone to Hoffman and some to Owens.

In effect, Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate, was running against two Democrats. How you can label Scozzafava any part of "the Right," only you know. She was arguably more liberal, overall, than the Democrat who won. That's why I'm no longer a Republican.

I'm not sure how Gov. Palin upset anything--Fred Thompson was the one who started drumming up support for Hoffman. The fact he lost--and only about 49-46--doesn't mean anyone screwed things up for him. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of Doug Hoffman, although New York's hardly a conservative state.
