c_yeager, stop hallucinating about Dem.'s doing anything positive on gun control.
Hallucinating is seeing something that doesnt exist, so why dont you go ahead and quote where I said the Democrats would do anything positive about gun control? Go ahead, try to make a point without having to put your own flawed arguments into my mouth.
That's for narrow-minded leftists who think that war is only about revenge, and think that pre-emption is a recent invention.
Wanna give me a list of occassions were we have pre-emptively invaded nations that werent actively attacking us, our protectorats, or allies?
Off the top of my head I get Somalia and Bosnia. Hey look, I just made a short list of this single greatest screwups in American foreign policy history, why dont you add to it for me.
Rabbi:
The Republicans pushed through the Lawful Commerce in Firearms Act, te first time I am aware of that they took on trial lawyers succesfully. That was probably the biggest thing for us since virtually every gun maker was going to be bankrupted eventually by legal bills.
A) prove your bolded premise.
B) we are talking about gun control here, this is a circumspect protection AT BEST, at worse its simply trading one right for another, a game that we tend to lose at.
On Iraq we have all kinds of good reasons to rebuild that country. Unless you'd like to see a Taliban-style dictatorship emerge.
Why are we not "rebuilding" all the other countries with Taliban-style dictatorships? Justifying our actions in Iraq because of "rebuilding" is a pretty hollow argument when you consider that we are the ones who managed to blow up large sections of it in the first place.
On the full auto registry, the Headless One is right, again. Most people just plain dont care about it.
I care about it, you care about it, and HTG cares about it, along with most people who are likely to be reading this post. Shouldnt we be voting based on issues that we care about?
While the media are portraying this as a sweeping Democratic victory (of course) I dont think so. Republicans still hold the Senate and there wont be any new legislation worth anything for two years.
I agree, and I think it is the best possible outcome from this ellection, I am quite pleased.
Maybe the GOP will reflect on its roots and what it made it succesful and go back to that.
My thoughts exactly.
