to be sent to the "nuthouse" here, you must be found "criminally inasine"
blame that on the liberal judges voted into office in the past 50 years.
"everyone must be given a chance" because of the F***** up interpretation of the bill of rights. it seems every year there is some new "twist" on the interpretation of the bill of rights being dealt with in the supreme court, or the state courts.
thats what all this anti / pro gun talk here is about. who's "twist" on the interpretation of the 2nd addmendant is right?
im sick of that ****.
also, GS im not sure if you are aware, but each state has it's own constituation, and stuff, and sex offenders are charged locally, NOT federally (unless they took the child over state lines before the crime AND it can be proven)
now state "A" has XX law in place, state "B" has "Y" law in place....
hell we have extradition fights in our own country. "joe schmoe murdered jane smith". he kidnapped her in state B, drove 30 miles and killed her in state "A"...
but in state "A", and there is death penalaty, AND no extradition to a state that DOES have extradition
was it a "capital crime"? well the local federal judge in the state of the crime commited decides.
if that local federal judge is liberal and is against capital punishment, well guess what he rules?
it is a mess that will never be solved, and i can only stick to my beliefs, morals, and feelings, and vote every chance i get to stop the "mess"
it is a sad state of affairs when a political cammpaign involves things other than what matters most. there is no hope for it, because next election the liberals will play the "iraq war" card in every place even down to the regional level, it will get people emotional about the election, and they will vote blindly on the major issues at hand that invlove their, and their families well being
over 1/2 the american public voted on the presidenal ellection yet less than 1/4 voted on the local items in the last 3 elections (in my community there have been 2 public votes since the presidental election and less than 1/8 the registered voters turned out)
see GS when you have opposing views there will always be a majority and a minority.
in the US lets take a public forum on a school referendum for example. the last public forum here in my community on a school referendum 95 people turned out. (there are 21,000 people in the city i live) of those 95, 91 were against the referendum. the local paper reported "majority opposes referendum"
the measure passed last election.
see in the US if you are for (or neutral) about somehting you don't go out of your way to get involveed with it, "others will"
if you are against somehitng you stand on a soap box and shout at the top of you lungs, "because someone has to"
what happened last election? the "silent majrity" won. look at the history of it, there would be no term for it if the "silent majority" wasn't around for a long long time.
sadly it is in the small elections, non publicized, that really make the changes in "middle america"
those "soap box" people drive out and try to make their difference, to help the "lesser folks", and the "silent majority" doesn't even go out, because they think "someone else will take care of it" (dont forget the 7/8 that didn't vote)
then we hear the complaining about everything..... this and that is wrong, and this from people who dont even care enough to go out and spend 5 minutes of their life trying to fix the problem.
sometimes i have no hope for this country
"good Christian morals", is a loose term.....
Christians stoned prostitues.
yes eye for an eye, but yet turn the other cheek
there is a fine line, and a complex dicussion about this ongoing in the Christian community...
there are "christians" who allow gay and lesbian pastors.... the LEADER of the faith in the local church!!!!?!?!?
who has the right answer about Christianity? well my personal belief is that God has given the Holy gift of interpretation to people, and a true Christian will know it ans recognize it when he see's it.
i saw it once, and understood.... that personwas pulled away from my community for another calling... but i watch for it still to return (though sinfully i do not seek it out activally like i should)
