My wife thought this was hillarious... she says, truly, Sarah Palin is out of this world and the best thing that has ever happened to the United States of America since Ronald Reagan. She has taken the press and Obama off their game. The mainstream media has chicken poo all over their faces. It's actually proving that NBC, CNN and MSNBC are simply a part of the Obama campaign.

What do you think about Fox News? Just wondering

For one, she doesn't believe in abortion like Obama and Biden. That is such a huge issue.

Know what Mahoni? They dont want the govt telling them what they can and cannot do with their bodies. But it is okay for the govt to tell them what schools their kids have to go to. I dont get it...well maybe I do. I just dont understand it.

I appreciate that wink, Mahonri, I really do

You know, I may be a liberal, but I am just as wary about the media as you are. How do you trust anyone who has to talk about SOMETHING/ANYTHING 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Yikes.

d.k :

* Gotta ask one more question, then PottersWatch. How DO YOU separate personally-held beliefs (about right and wrong, which is, in essence, what we are discussing, yes?) from decision-making?

Here is the best analogy I can think of at the moment. I hold a personal belief that eating pork, shellfish, and other non-kosher foods is forbidden. Due to the fact that I am only influencing my own family with this belief, I don't have to separate my belief from my decision-making. However, were I in a position of power, it would be wrong of me to try and force others to adopt my dietary restrictions simply because my faith tells me to only eat kosher foods.​

Did you know that if constitutional ammendments are made to
1) declare a marriage as between a man and a woman
and
2) outlaw abortion
these will be the only ammendments to the constitution that limit rights, rather than expand rights?

I'd rather have a government that doesn't

me and my rights.

I was concerned, for a while that some people missunderstood what I meant by the Constitution and Bill of Rights as not being "living documents" . But I think, for the most part, most of us are on the same page. I believe that the "fore fathers" did not intend that these documents be easily changed. If they could be easilly changed, some of our rights would come and go depending on who was in office at the time. They have made it difficult to make changes in an attempt to prevent this from happening. We have to vote to make changes. Unfortuntely, the Supreme Court has taken it upon themselves to give rights where none have been given by these documents and to interpret others based on what the court sees as changes in the populations' interpretation of these rights. This is not what was invisioned as the duty of the Supreme Court when it was created. They were to detirmine the constitutionality of laws, not create new rights!
