That's just a little needling. Jim Jones got over 900 people to commit suicide in Jonestown approx 30 years ago. His followers believed him to be a prophet or messiah.

I see some of Obama's followers thinking like Jones "flock".

That would rely on there being no separation of church and state which is something the right preaches.

It amazes me the number of union/ex-union people who are supporting a vehemently anti-union party.

Like I said before I am not registered Dem or Rep. I don't believe in falling in line and following a particular party. But Obama is out of his mind with some of the things he wants. I don't want socialism and would like to keep my guns. Obama strikes out in 2 areas so he doesn't get my vote.

Mac, I think you're a nice guy, you love fishing, I love fishing, we've had a great time BS'ing away, but for christ sake do some fact checking.

http://www.ontheissues.org/2008_Politico.htm

Q: You said recently, "I have no intention of taking away folks' guns." But you support the D.C. handgun ban, and you've said that it's constitutional. How do you reconcile those two positions?

A: Because I think we have two conflicting traditions in this country. I think it's important for us to recognize that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respect the Second Amendment and people's traditions.

Now will you PLEASE stop preaching on the whole gun thing? Its a BS fabrication by the Michigan Militia wackjobs and the conservatives to scare you. Its politics.

HE is not going to take away your guns. Your TOWN will. And given where you live I really REALLY doubt that will happen.

And socialism? YOU LIVE IN THE PEOPLE'S COMMONWEALTH! HEALTH CARE IS MANDATORY! SOCIALIST PROGRAM!

Actually it isn't about the michigan militia. Obama has stated no one should be allowed to carry concealed. He wants to pass this as a federal law. Right now it is up to each individual state to decide. Not the whim of 1 man...

He wants to ban the manufacture, sale and posession of handguns.

Ban certain forms of ammunition used in hunting and sport shooting.

Increase federal taxes on weapons and ammunition by 500%. Thus making it to expensive for the "common man"

Expand the Clinton semi-auto ban (AWB) to include semi auto handguns and any weapon capable of holding over 5 rounds.

mandate a government license to purchase a firearm.

He is for micro stamping ammunition. (which is proven to not work)

Restore voting rights to a few million criminals who were convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime.

Ban the use of firearms for home defense. (Illinois is like that now) CCW permits are non existant.

He also wants to appoint toSupreme Court, justices who think like he does.



Heller was just tried by the Supreme Court . The justices affirmed that 2A is an individual right. If Obama gets in he can appoint new justices and try to overturn the Heller decision.


I have news for ya. Creating new gun laws will not solve anything. States need to start enforcing the ones on the books now. There is an old adage that is very true; IF GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS.




And socialism, REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH is one of the main things in this flawed government system. Where will he stop after taking profits from the oil companies ? maybe your 401K ???

According to who? Where is all this coming from? The NRA? Do they back any of this up with solid facts and quotes? Of course not! That wouldn't be seedy!
C'mon man, I just cited a direct quote of what he said. Back up your claims.

I think there's WAY bigger things to fight right now than Heller, and he knows that.

The adage is a lie, only those with connections will have guns, not outlaws. Look what happened to them in the wild west, they got dead.

You have a problem with him going after OPEC? That shocks me.

Social Security is already a wreck, hell, might as well screw up 401k's.

Take a long look at your avatar, McCain would love to see that burn.

My reality is this, we're screwed right now. Right wing presidents aren't doing it. We're in an epic debt. I'm looking forward, not at now.

The same things were said about Clinton as far as guns yet nothing ever actually happened, he didn't take away your guns, he passed a bunk republican created bill that made all the anti-gun people feel better about themselves and life went on as normal.

I'm tired of the same war monger idiots running the show. I don't want to think of more of this crap starting up and my friends or family or eventual children having to be drafted. I don't want to see people in office who couldn't give a damn about the environment and would rather pander to some multinational mining company than save the people they claim to have as 'family'.

2 more grunts died and 3 more were injured the other day. For what?

There comes a point where enough is enough.
