Will someone call Al Gore and tell him...

I think Gahore serves an important role for the Democrats in the 2004 election. As a well known, but non-runninig Democrat, he can act as a loudspeaker for the party, without having to fear any type of backlash hurtinig his chances in the election. He can come out and rally the left/center left right now in an attempt to solidify the democratic party base, and not have to worry about looking like a moderate in 9 months once the dust settles from the primary season.

Of course I'll defer to Leviathn on this topic lol.

exactly creamo... it is the governments job to take it all away... they will do it in little tiny pieces or in great big chunks... any way that they can.   but allways... their goal is to take.

Is this a formal admission of a nanny government in the US?  I thought nannies were a British phenomenon.

this is a formal admission that all governments everywhere are trying to be your nanny.... it is what you do about it that is important.... giving up your rights, especially your firearms is not the way to get along with government.   The way they get along with you is with force.

You can talk to your government from a position of weakness or from one of strength... strength is better.    

All politicians want to take it away... never vote for democrats because they and their cohorts will take it away faster than the other scum..... unless smoking pot is the most freedom you aspire to of course.

hehe You have an interesting theory, but keep in mind that almost nobody cares about or participates in primary elections beyond the more radical elements of each party.  In addition, almost nobody beyond these radical elements cares or thinks about the general election this far in advance, at least not in any substantive way.

So Gore may attempt to rally the moderate and conservative elements of the Democratic party early on, but he'll probably fail.  By the election in November, nobody's going to remember him or care how he appears.  The time to rally various elements of a party comes after the nominating convention, not nine months before.  My guess is that Gore was preaching to the choir, keeping his name in the news, and attempting to portray himself as relevant despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

So you obviously have no problem with strangers going through your personal belongings while you are not home.

Nice way to phrase....I don't believe for a sec that the Fed is breaking down doors on some large scale basis and that no home is safe...come on.

If the want to look around my house, I could care less as long as their motives were in regard to national security....if they started to ramsack liberal Hollywood actors homes for no reason, that I would not stand for.

So link us to where this abuse is taking place...or is it just a few isolated incidents that scare you to death?

[Sixpence]

How can you have a link to something you don't see? Take a closer look Rude. If Nixon had this tool there would have been no watergate. He could have done most of it legally.

They don't break down doors, they unlock them when you are not there. You can stick your head in the sand all you want.

So if they take your guns away it is ok, we have police with guns to protect us, so why do we need them?

Creamo is right. The NRA will fight a ban on a person having 100 guns in his house. Why?, because then it will be 50 guns, then 20 guns, then one gun, then no guns.

Can you provide a link to all the WMD? No, but we know they existed.

How the Patriot act has affected me, by Muck.

I now have to ask all new clients the following question:

What is the source of the funds you are using to make this investment.

And, do you have any affiliation to a senior government official of a foreign country.

BTW, if you think Big Brother is new...you need to ask around a bit. A man in my office was arrested in Uganda while on a mission for a church. According to him, he was arrested for being at a protest march against the govenment there.

Before his plane even touched down here in the good ol' USA, some boys from the US govt. had already stopped by to talk to his neighbors, and several of his college professors.

This happened in the 70's. Big brother has always been there.

So you seriously think government agents just sneak into peoples houses and rummage through things?

What govenment agency would have juristiction over this...

Oh wait..The Bureau of Underpants Gnomes!!!

[Sixpence]

Dunno muck, how has not having a gun affected me? But what happens when "liberals" say we shouldn't have them? Big brother has them and protects us, so we don't need them.

"So you seriously think government agents just sneak into peoples houses and rummage through things?"

Yeah, I guess they just worded the law like that for the heck of it.

[muckmaw]

Tell you honestly, according to a little test someone posted here, I'm not hardcore conservative. I'm for abortion...(Though I dont like it) I'm against LTA, and I'm pretty against guns. I own 2, but just dont see a need for them. I've heard all the arguments, and I'm just not convinced.

Why am I not worried about Govt agents coming into my home and sniffing my underwear?

Maybe because I'm not even remotly suspected of even jay-walking?

*shrugs*

I think some folks are a little paranoid.

Because I know if he wins...it's will piss off the lawyers and the hippies....
