  4. haha, somehow i could envision Washington at a gun range throwing lead downrange with an M60.
  5. No, but the real question is how would they react to it?
  6. Well, 2 problems, 1) it would not affect the composition at all, it would simply be replacing 2 liberal judges with 2 liberal judges. And the problem is not conservatism or liberalism its how they interpret the document, constructionists (origionalists) interpret it in the way it would have in the 1700s if they were HERE today. "Living Document" types interpret it in light of "fairness" which is likely not really what the founding fathers had in mind.
  7. The only real issue that is at stake here is the fate of the Supreme Court. Under Obama it would likely see two of the oldest liberal judges retire and be replaced by younger liberal judges who will undoubtedly be "living document" types. Under McCain likely no judges would retire, but in the unlikely event that one did retire they would be replaced by either moderate or conservative "constructionist" judges. That issue alone is enough to make me vote... Well and the fact that Obama-Biden are completely anti-gun, but i know most of you don't give a rats ass about the 2nd Amendment. and this http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385651698727257.html
  8. Even a dirt poor nation who is armed can overcome an oppressive government with enough resolve.
  9. Meh we have all our amendments for a reason. That being said, you sound like a conspiracy theorist.
  10. well TECHNICALLY oil is a renewable resource, we just haven't determined how fast it is created, however once we do we can totally only use that amount which would make it a renewable resource!
  11. Yeah i know i realized that after i posted the remark. However, it's somewhat of a stretch, but if she fired this man and her sister was NOT dating the trooper, would anyone be complaining? And Ignorance is rampant among Obama supporters too. Besides, if you have read the vast majority of my arguments they are usually decently well based and educated.
  12. is it overheating? Is your fan not working or is it semi-covered?
  13. Right cause negotiating with tribal and Taliban factions, such as we did in Iraq, is exactly the same as negotiating with sovereign countries right? Granted it is not much of a distinction, but it is still technically different.
  14. too!
  15. a few things. 1) i don't believe she made many friends with her run for governorship. 2) Given the wording of how to vote, this is obviously politically charged. 3) Given that they recommended no action against her it is obvious that it is not substantial. 4) She was well within her rights for firing him, the only mistake she made was letting her sister date him in the first place, which then made ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER against him "unethical." if he went around beating up old guys, and she fired him for it, she would still be in violation of this ethics law because of her sisters relationship with the man.
  16. Why the heck isn't the Chrysler symbol on the laser part?
  17. No its more like This... Taking on passengers from...
  18. Three's
  19. Well considering i believe that Obama wants to increase taxes on oil companies... i would say your argument is fundamentally flawed.
  20. That makes perfect sense. Oh wait, how much money is lost in all the wasted tax expenses and government inefficiency? That is a regressive tax if i have ever heard one... even if it is refunded later on! Plus... lets see... semi trucks use fuel... tax on fuel... higher transportation costs... higher end product prices... hmm no tax refund there. Yep, that's a regressive tax all around.
  21. Mhmm and what adds more value to an economy, a machine line worker or a service worker? One has a union, one doesn't. Globalization hardly stifled the banking job, if nothing else it made more of them which leads to greater income disparity because it has largely cut out the middle machine line jobs. A north American market COULD make most things. We don't have the raw resources to do so, but we could import that and make everything ourselves. However, that would turn Mexico into a first world country because there would be so much manufacturing there which would drive up their wages until America became the place to build stuff cause Canada would still be less desirable place to build. That being said, stuff would still cost more, you may be making more money, but stuff costs more so what have you gained? And don't give me any BS about "its American made so its better" or "stuff that costs more is better" because that's BS and you know it. For years Made in America stuff was cheap schlock that no one wanted. You are promoting protectionism, which sounds just lovely on paper, but has proven time and time again to not work. Current Globalization does not work well because the rich countries, America, Japan, China, the EU, Russia has subsidies on stuff which !@#$% up the global economy and leads to unevenness and more poverty for the poorer nations. As to Oldsmoboi, you are probably right, we are beginning to have fire sales on stock prices, which will lead to some VERY EXCELLENT buys here shortly. As to the credit freeze, im not really sure how severe of one there is because i have heard of several people who have successfully been able to attain car loans, through automotive finance arms and also through banks and credit unions. That being said, i don't know anyone who has tried lately to apply for a house loan. I imagine that banks will be playing it safe for at least a year though, but i may be wrong.
  22. Your essentially right, but for the wrong reasons. Drilling now will not help because oil has become cheap enough where American production of it (Light sweet crude) would be more expensive than market rates. However, for heavier oils, which middle east oil is no good for, we still got an advantage.
  23. Depending on who you ask America either has enough reserves to FUEL OURSELVES @ current consumption levels from 5 to 50 years. Alternative energy is a better long term investment, but i see no reason why our own oil companies shouldn't be able to drill around here. Additionally oil companies are VERY GOOD at developing technology to economically get very hard to get oil out of places when push comes to shove, so don't underestimate their ingenuity. Additionally a few of the oil companies, shell in particular, are already researching various alternative energies because Shell wants to be a dominate player in the global energy game. as it stands, solar power looks promising, but unfortunately aside from really big ass batteries i have no clue how we would store the energy for the night.
  24. i'm thinking gas prices will level off around $2.90 average as OPEC cuts production to maintain prices.
