The second amendment is there to support the rest. "I'm here to enlighten you" is the huling cry of the progressive tyrant. "You'll be better off in a society without guns"(not everyone will be disarmed of course).

"He told WBUR on June 10 that Obama sees very scary intelligence briefings every day, and "his first job is to protect the United States, and that's his oath. " Unless the response to the briefing is a huge gaffe. Then he wasn't present for that briefing.

No it's more like some idiot taking advantage of a dysfunctional adolescent and extending his play time with less risk of being caught by 'preventing' a pregnancy.

Yes there have been undesired consequences that have come out of 'agri-science." There have also been desired ones, the principal one being that famine is not a regular experience on planet earth like it used to be. It's just like the arguments against child immunizations. Are there dangers? Yes. Are there benefits? Definitely, unless of course one has no problem with their child contracting polio, smallpox, diphtheria, etc. It also helps to be in the income bracket that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chuck Norris reside in to be extremely fussy about food.

It's the 'rope a dope' strategy. Once there's a scandal every 4 to 8 days the reaction is, "Oh, another scandal, what's for lunch?"

I have a very difficult time distinguishing between a tree hugger and a juvenile brown bear. They look a lot alike and one needs to be an expert to really be sure which is which. Juvenile brown bears can wipe out a small farmer's profits in a single pass through. It's always best to err on the side of caution. If it ignored the 'no trespassing' and 'beware of armed owner' signs it must be a juvenile brown bear. Intelligent tree huggers would know how much they resemble juvenile brown bears and stay off the property when they saw signs telling them it's dangerous not to.

It's simple. If you're in power everything that sustains your power is basically OK. When that which sustains someone else's power prevents one from obtaining or maintaining power it's not OK. Since everything is now subject to scrutiny it's pretty simple. Those who wield the sword of power need to be under the greatest scrutiny.

The SCOTUS will play by the 'new' rules. Don't expect (in)Justice to order them to comply. The 2014 elections will most likely determine if the population of the country wants to continue some adherence to the constitution and rule of law or if the 'dole' is attractive enough to sell out to their daily dose of bread and circus. Whoever thought religion was the best way to enslave the masses never conceived of having them sell out their birthright for a pittance.

Good deal. Obama vetoes the budget. We get more gridlock. More gridlock is less government growth.

It's my new diet. Read the label. Like people drink for nutrition. Lemmings.
