Yet Hillary still out-polls the Repubs. I know it's way too early to put much weight on that but the astonishing thing to me is how loyal so many people can be to the party that has done nothing but fukk up the past several years and that Obama didn't get wiped out by Romney in .12. That still amazes me. .

I think it's time for several KKKlansmen vs Black Panthers cage matches. Millions will watch, a lot of money will be made and maybe some of the combatants will be lost in the process.

Absolutely. Let them sink.

No because they don't pay any attention to news or WTF is happening in the world.

Your comments are extremely reasonable and full of good sense. However, I don't believe there has been a '72 Maverick on either side of the Peace Bridge since about 1980. Those were the greatest of rust queens. Nevertheless, your point on the flat tax was a beauty.

You're trying to make sense out of a clusterfukk of a law. It can't be done in this case.

So will lawyers now be able to reference this case as a precedent when arguing the "intent" of an agreement or law? It no longer matters what the words mean because the intent was this or that?

The cries for control outnumber the actual solutions suggested or put forth by a gazillion to one but you are right, there have been a couple bills. I think many would support greater background checks and even a longer waiting period and closing the gun show loophole. I doubt that would reduce crime or satisfy those that want tighter control, but there are probably ways to improve the process for one to own a gun. Where do you draw the line and how would someone like Roof be disqualified?

We constantly hear politicians, citizens and posters on this board call for gun control, yet almost never do any of these people suggest any specific changes. I think that most of them simply believe that only the military and law enforcement should be able to have them but they are afraid to actually say that.

What should be the gun laws then?

Can you explain to us why we should ignore the CBO report and not be concerned with $18T in debt and growing?

Below from the FBI's site defining domestic terrorism. Sure seems like the event in the church meets the "Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population" standard along with bullets 1 and 3. "Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics: Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law; Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

Too soon to be sure but if you believe this early report it would appear to be racially motivated. The crime itself is horrible regardless of the specific cause. http://abcnews.go.com/US/charleston-shooting-gunman-allegedly-survivor-inside-church/story?id=31872085

Yeah, this kid is a terrorist. He sucks. They come in a variety unfortunately. To me it's worse when it's at home like this, Americans killing other Americans and the only grievance is race, religion or some other irrational cause. Really pisses me off. This is another horrible incident. Wouldn't be surprised if somebody gets to him long before trial.

A lot to like in the Austin area. Check out San Antonio too.

But in the mind of Gov Brown, that was a mistake.

Obamacare came up short in this area, so Brown's plan simply closes the gap for those who were left out. It's the only fair thing to do.

CBO report on debt. Uh oh.... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/16/government-debt-threatens-to-send-us-economy-into-/

So what you're saying is that the majority of the American people will stoop to a new low of stupidity and elect Hillary.

Punishment for crimes IMO should be harsher, shorter (in many cases but not all) followed by a serious rehab program.

That's a beauty right there.

Fox is incorrect but I fixed it.

I spent some time last night looking up the 2 trade related bills that were voted on Friday. In true governmental style they are very lengthy, wordy convoluted pieces of work. You know the asses in DC do this on purpose to keep citizens (and their peers) from even reading this crap. That and you can't find a decent article online that explains what the hell this is all about. Sound familiar? Even Paul Ryan who I generally respect for his telling it like it is style was on TV and did nothing but make the viewers more confused and more skeptical. This thing sucks.

Yeah, but that's 85% which is better than the 70% figure Hillary and Obama have been peddling so the gap is shrinking.

And this exchange... RUSH: It would be much easier if you say you knew you were gay when you're 10, but man, you've really bitten off a big one here when you say you knew you were black at age 10 when you're a blond-haired Caucasian. CALLER: Yeah, and also now I'm in a biracial marriage and my kids are biracial, so I don't know what to do. RUSH: What, you're married to a -- CALLER: A white woman. RUSH: Married to a white woman, you're Caucasian, but you're African-American, your kids are biracial. You do have a problem.
