  1. I know getting hung up on semantics while ignoring the whole point of a post is sport here. But I'll play along. If it's in the Bill of Rights or if a police officer tells me I have a right to remain silent or a right to an attorney during questioning, I go with those as rights. It's not hat complicated.
  2. Theoretical hogwash. Does the "natural state of man" include right to free speech? What about a right to a lawyer during questioning by the police? And women the right to vote? If we as country say it's a right, it's a right no matter how you theoretically slice it.
  3. He's right. They ARE idiots.
  4. My 2¢: This quote from the article pretty much sums up my ideas: I see it implemented by the government buying basic health coverage for everyone. It would include things like pre natal, broken bones, chronic illnesses like diabetes, Crohns, epilepsy, cancer, hospice, accidents, etc. The government would put the policies out to bid. It would be the world's largest risk pool so premiums could be held in check. Then, if you want more coverage, you can buy it or maybe your employer does. For me, it comes down to, is healthcare a right or a privilege? I would prefer if it were a right in America instead of a privilege.
  5. Demicans calling their opponents racists/sexists. This is news? Business as usual.
  6. Only the top seed gets a first round bye instead of the top 2 as it is now.
  7. Rex likes the bad boys, so yeah, I could see it happening. pass on Boykin and take Vernon Adams Jr. Instead.
  8. I haven't decided yet since the election is still 8 months away. I won't stay home and a snowball in Texas in August probably has a better chance than Hillary does getting my vote ( if she's on the ballot). Thank goodness it wasn't a white secret service guy taking down a black reporter instead of the other way around. Meanwhile here's a video of the big dog trying to silence a Marine 2 tours in Iraq veteran Paris Island Drill Instructor and when he can't he has him physically removed. The CNN version doesn't show him being removed: http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/02/27/bill-clinton-heckler-sot.cnn Pretty big difference in the raw take and CNN's edited version.
  9. Or you could just put it on a thumb drive and leave at your lawyer's office who had ZERO security clearance to view top secret emails (which were on there).
  10. I would argue that having top secret emails on a thumb drive in your lawyers office is, if not treasonous, reckless enough to be a deal breaker IMHO. That along with the Iraq War vote she voted Yes on even though she she couldn't be bothered to read the Intelligence Estimate would be the final nail in the coffin as far as me voting for her anyway.
  11. I agree with this. Countries with no 2nd Ammendment have Next to ZERO people shot with guns by police or other citizens. However, here, the horse has already left the barn.
  12. Bill's not running.
  13. I'm all in on Bernie, but if he doesn't win I will in no way shape or form even consider voting for Hillary. If he doesn't get the nomination I'll either go Trump or a 3rd party. One thing about Hillary that I haven't heard discussed much is if she were to win the nomination, nothing would bring out Republican voters like voting against Hillary.
  14. There's a sucker born every minute.
  15. Vernon Adams Jr. is our man. We should take him in the 3rd or 4th to make sure we get him. The dude's magic. when he's in the team rocks, when he goes out the team sucks. He's like Flutie in that regard. You can't teach that. You either got it or you don't, and he's got it. Let's just make sure we got it by drafting him.
  16. Ah, Dallas politics. Always fun. I remember in the summer when my Dad used to take us to work with him and he listened to Dallas City Council meeting on the radio. Al Lipscomb before his run on the City Council, would come in raise holy heck and have to be physically removed. then when Diana Ragsdale was on she was always up for raising holy heck. It was reported in the 1990s that when Atlanta would have company executives come to town to talk about moving there, they would show them video of the Dallas City Council and tell them if they move there, they'll have to deal with that.
  17. Didn't Alec Baldwin say he was going to move to Canada if King George the 2nd got elected? This is a pretty good (fictional) movie of a guy that actually followed through: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780486/
  18. Illegal aliens are going to be getting $15 an hour minimum wage jobs?
  19. No, they'll still be getting $2 an hour to send back. We have a minimum wage now that they already earn less than. I don't see that changing with the minimum wage going up. Very well could just be more of them.
  20. Of which every penny will be spent, thus stimulating the economy.
  21. I'm going with Bubba. He was on campus to interview some intern candidates.
