Nice spin Raz, sounds like you know a lot more about junk than you let on. Taking a figure of speech like “bite me” literally is 14 not 41, give or take!
So the “option” you have chosen is clear.
BTW “options” given in here are irrelevant…..
So what you seem to be saying…. is if you are going to listen to lies, you will listen to lies you want to hear.
The brilliance of the Fox news hatreds never surprises me. On a day that celebrated liberals, the news channel that conservatives turn to come in third. Who would have thought that was going to happen? Everyone.
Can we stop talking about 2016? Let’s get through the next four years. If you want to talk about winning tell me how everyone is better off in this country today. What has the U.S. won by re-electing Obama?
If everyone is for banning assault weapons why are Obama and Biden going on the road to get more support for their gun control agenda. How much money is it going to cost the U.S. tax payer to Biden and Obama to go on tour?
I’m sick of hearing liberals use the death of 20 children to pass laws that Obama even said would not have stopped the death of these children. Again I ask why are the lives of these 20 children more important than the thousands of lives you liberals support being ended daily from ab**tion? If life is important to fight for then fight for all life.
Crime and violence increase in bad economic times. Let’s focus on getting people back to work and the violence will come down.

Until gay marriage is legal everywhere and people can smoke a joint freely, are we truly free
@Mark, I may not agree. But I can understand your view.
If the government had not first defined marriage and was not so engaged in our lives as to use their legal term of marriage to give us tax breaks, survivor benefits and a lot. There would be no need to make gay marriage legal.
The same goes for a nice smoke. It is only because of the American government involvement that we do not have these rights today.
If the federal government would assure that by legalizing gay marriage, they will not force Churches to marriage gays if it is against their beliefs. I think you would see the number of people not opposing gay marriage up to 90%. I don’t oppose gay marriage but I don’t want churches to be forced to marry them.
@Mark, to make my statement clear. For years marriage was a social union. It told a government law to make it a legal contract.

I am fairly certain that if gay marriage passes the Government won’t force churches to marry anybody that wants to and it’s up to the church. Don’t churches now have the right not to marry somebody they don’t seem fit? I am fairly certain say if I go to a Mormon church and ask that they marry me they have the right to say no since I am not mormon.
I should add I am not in favor of anybody forcing any church to marry anybody if they seem fit not to marry them.

I always love the gay marriage and weed litmus test to see how true somebody is to getting government out of your business. It’s one thing to use it as a talking point, it’s another to actual believe it. That’s why I always respect Ron Paul, while I disagree with him on some issues, at least when he says he wants government out of peoples business or he wants to cut spending(including defense spending which generally seems to be the exception for the cut spending crowd) he actually believes what he says instead of uses it as a talking point but half assidely believes it.

A total of 20.552 million viewers tuned in on 18 separate television networks to watch coverage of the second inauguration of President Obama, the Nielsen Company reported Wednesday.
*****************************************************
So, you’re saying that only 20 million of the 320 million population of the United States watched the inauguration? That’s only 6% of the population…that’s nearly a no-show….lol

**************************************
It’s not even simply a social union…it’s a RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION…which is why you have to be ordained to marry people. Although, when it comes to justice of the peace, that may be a government veriation…not sure, since I’m not a justice of the peace, I’m an ordained minister….oops, did I admit to that? lol
Stan T. Aren’t you the guy that used to come on here every day and say Obama is a Muslim?

****************************************
No…though, since you bring it up, since his step-father enrolled him in a muslim school, AS A MUSLIM, then technically he is…probably at least as much a muslim as he pretends to be a christian….no secret he was an athiest like his mother, until he figured out that he needed Rev Wright’s church to get elected to the state legislature, so he joined his church….he’s said himself that Rev Wright “brought him to Jesus”…

Marriage has been around for thousands of years, before the US or christianity existed, to act like the US and/or christianity somehow has the market cornered on what and how marriage should be handled is ridiculous
Personally if I am in a gay group trying to fight for gay marriage I
1. Fight for civil unions first(I personally think the benefits are worth more then a word/wording)
2. Find a church willing to marry gay people then bring it to the supreme court that it’s a religious right that they be considered married everywhere in the US since the church condoned it.
Good Morning Everyone

I’m still grovin at that Time has Come vid you posted, Like coolsville man

Not good, and wait till later this year when Beer prices shoot up 45-55%
By the way Gas prices are shooting up again around here $3.43 pg. Up .25 cents overnight…
Liberals watched the inauguration, conservatives did not. Liberals went back to being uninformed but arrogant on Tuesday by tuning out the news.
@so he joined his church….he’s said himself that Rev Wright “brought him to Jesus”…
HA! George W. Bush said the same thing about Cocaine and booze. Which has actually done far more damage in this world than a silly bitter Rev……the “Cocaine & Booze” that is…..!
George W. and his dip$hit VP weren’t too far behind as far as f-king up things.
@Liberals watched the inauguration, conservatives did not. Liberals went back to being uninformed but arrogant on Tuesday by tuning out the news.
Imagine that!! People interested in watching history. Not too bright!
Guess if rather be arrogant and uninformed than being a arrogant and MISinformed.

*2 NJ men sue Subway over short footlong sandwiches
Two New Jersey men sued Subway this week, claiming the world’s biggest fast-food chain has been shorting them by selling so-called footlong sandwiches that measure a bit less than 12 inches.
