I'm shocked, grove, that you have distorted my intention.
There's a difference between being an aggressor and defending ones' self from the same. Gun control is in the mind of who has the finger on the trigger.
Good or bad, no legislation will ever regulate it.

Well said. This is why guns need to be restricted. Not because criminals can still get them, but that we have too many GOP idiots toting guns...
Having been stalked by a GOP woman totin' a gun...I know.
Hopefully, she knows from not being disarmed and pistolwhipped dizzy as she merited that I'm a real damn gentleman.
Glad I didn't...she's damn dizzy enough already...

I was a little puzzled by the wording of the statement in the article. "Value of tax breaks enjoyed by corporations in 2011, as measured by the Government Accountability Office: $181 billion."
Do tax breaks include normal business expenses like labor and depreciation, or extraordinary tax breaks only given to some industries and not others? Statements like that taken out of the context of the report are often misleading
[/quote]
Corporate welfare includes ANY tax break a corporation gets that an individual does not.
Would you as an individual just loooooooove to deduct depreciation on your personal vehicles and residence? Sure you would...
Strip away corporate personhood now. Outlaw corporate lobbying. Make all campaign financing public funds only.
Or the above crap will continue...
posted @ Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - 10:33Want to know what the Left is really afraid of?
The damn unavoidable fact that gun sales have gone through the roof since Obama got re-elected, and it ain't Progressives buying the guns...
Has it occurred to Conservatives that their buying up all the inventory of the Civilian Marksmanship Program...for the first time in the history of that quasi-Federal agency...right after the re-election...not to mention creating record AR-15 sales,,,may have put Congress and the White House on the gun control thing...aside from Newtown? Hmmmm?

Good grief! Where are these women?! They must be outside my realm of aquaintences because I just don't know women like this. Or maybe I do but they are different around men or in their personal relationships. Maybe there is something about men that sets women off, something men can't or won't be aware of. Like ptmmac wrote above, "The problem is we build a self image that is at odds with what we actually do and get into all kinds of problems as a result." Food for thought, don't you think?

The male nature is arrogant and selfish. Also violent and agressive. Those males who supress their primal natures successfully escape my condemnation. Those who don't, cause the world so much misery and grief. Unfortunately, the latter are far more numerous.

I donno. Having been ambushed, slapped, punched, scratched, shot, run over, and had electrocution attempted upon me by educated and accomplished women...with me never attacking them...I think women have that arrogant, selfish, violent, and aggressive thing quite down pat...

Amen to that. RIP, Johnny.
This concert was a fun one, though.
I foresee Luke Bryan selling a lot more music than Aldean...though all the artists were fine country rock artists. Way fun time.

I certainly do. Conservatives are not just wrong, they are evil. Same song, different verse. Is it any wonder that the Progressive mindset is responsible for over 100 million murders in the 20th century alone...we must rid ourselves of the evil in our midst? [/quote]
OK, first of all, abortion is NOT murder. The law says so.
You conservatives...you want to tote a gun to blow away anyone who interferes with your property or freedom...then stump moralistically about saving the fetuses...and stand there dumbfounded when such dysfunctionally obtuse values pertaining to human life are rejected at the polls by America...
Well, for as long as conservatives want to be foolish, they will continue to be politically marginalized...

From what I understand about her she was not afraid to make the tough decisions and didn't worry if the people liked her or not. A true leader is not going to make many friends but they do have a way of getting things done.

She beat the powerless to enrich the powerful...That's not a leader; that's a damn brute.

Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
