There is this piece of paper that was signed Sept. 17, 1787. :)

Right, which was improved upon in 1791. That's my point.

It would take an Amendment. Such an Amendment would require about a century of social change before we'd even think of ratifying it.
 
You mean the judge that made a decision that I haven't heard a single positive word about, which decision was overturned by the next rung up the ladder?

It doesn't matter that his ruling was overturned. It's worrisome enough that he ruled that way to begin with.
 
69 people said both??:confused:

Holy crap!

Am I living in Dumfuchistan?

Be afraid, be very afraid of the far-right putting this country on the midnight train to hell.

One idiot does one stupid thing, and suddenly you're worried?

There's 300 million of us living here. You throw in human nature, and you'll get something like this every once in a while.

It's not a sign.
 
I can't say that there is much to be afraid of. This is a pretty awesome and robust country.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks for letting me know that it was overturned on appeal. But that makes it no less a concern. How long before a case makes it to the Supreme Court on the basis of Sharia Law being followed and thus it's a religious freedom concern? I also found it interesting that a Michigan high school changed its football practices to 11 PM to 4 AM during Ramadan.

As I said, it's a "concern." I think it's a reasonable one. When the goal of some Islamic fundamentalists is to impose Sharia Law upon the world, I think we're wise to be vigilant and concerned.

Sharia Law coming to the U.S.

Both the Islamic Cultural Center and Sharia Law

Don't be silly, neither one is a threat to us.

None of those, actually.

I'm concerned about the people who take their religion, law and faith to the extreme, then believe that if they die in the process of preserving their faith they're blessed - and show no qualms with deeming others 'deserving of death' and then playing God and dealing out that death.
 
Boy oh Boy, what a bunch of paranoid people. I expected somebody would be afraid of one or both, but not an overwhelming majority (74 -27). I wonder if these if these folks are afraid of their own shadow. :(

I wonder what percentage of these folks watch Fox or listen to 'conservative' talk radio.
Sadly, probably most of them....
FDR "we have nothing to fear but fear itself"
And the times and conditions back then were far worse than today..
I think that it is easier to cater to mans fears than it is to understand and respect him.

FDR is the one who should have been feared.

A common misconception among conservative talk radio listeners...

Like the Nazis were liberals and Clinton caused 9/11.:roll::roll:
 
People who don't pay taxes outnumbering those of us who do and voting away the wealth of taxpayers thus turning the USA into another Greece


Then, how about an in-depth study as to why these people do not pay taxes,if this is true??
And, it strikes me that you believe that non-taxpayers should not be allowed to vote.
 
More afraid of radical right wingers taking power based on fear of Islam and other "things" and turning the US into a fascist state.

It's crazy, I should have included Hasidic Laws in the poll choices. :lamo

why would that scare you-it would guarantee the dems winning every election. The people with the lowest rates of education always favor the dems in national elections. a majority of HS dropouts have favored the dems in every presidential election in the last 32 years or so

You're full of crap -- I know for a fact what you're saying is full of crap-- in fact, in some southern states, it's just the opposite.

You got no legitimates stats, links, or data to back that up.

You're not even spinning any more, you're just making crap up.

Pretty pathetic...

"full of crap"

wow that is some seriously educated debating tactics there

but the fact remains-the lowest cohort of education-high school dropouts-have favored the dems in almost every presidential election

that makes sense-dems are the party of income redistribution and hs dropouts are generally people without much income

I want you to state that you think HS dropouts are more likely to vote for the GOP candidates than the dems

I know what the answer is-so go ahead.
 
06 elections which was a good one for dems

CNN.com - Elections 2006

No High school

Dems 64% GOP 35%==that is the biggest group for dems in terms of a percentage advantage

btw before you start crowing about "post graduates" favoring dems guess what is the most common two post graduate degrees

teachers and lawyers-two groups that are the biggest source of donations to the dems

but I guess you can just admit you got owned

Hold it, pal, I'm calling you out. You made the claim about Dems being poor high school drop outs.

I'm saying you're full of crap.

Either you post the stats to back your claim or admit you were wrong.

That's how it works. You say something. I call b.s. Now you got to back it up.

I don't have to prove you claim is not true. That's idiotic.

Well, can you, Turtle. Can you back it up???

Please tell me you're not that dense. Please tell me I have wasted time posting valuable information to someone who....

Turtle: See that little 3% next to no high school? Do you see it? What do you think that means?

btw before you start crowing about "post graduates" favoring dems guess what is the most common two post graduate degrees

I'm not crowing about anything. I'm laughing my ass off at how you interpret stats...




teachers and lawyers-two groups that are the biggest source of donations to the dems

Teachers and Lawyers - both college education / middle-high income... More proof you were talking out of your ass.

Your stats prove that everything you said about Dems being mostly poor high school drop outs FALSE.

Thanks.

but I guess you can just admit you got owned

You'd be cute if you weren't so pathetic.
