It's Official - US Laws Only Apply to US Citizens
MattCary replied to mcurrier's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
So. If the driver is unlicensed. How does the car get home? Maybe I didn't read far enough. -
Very nice! Wish Santa thought the same about me!
-
Drool. I want one.

"Not in my job description." or simply "F@$% You." Maybe: "I request trial by Court-Martial." Must be a trust building exercise. I don't trust anyone that much. Besides, I know where the ammo they are using was made.

Dems losing mind over new Voter ID laws...
MattCary replied to MattCary's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Exactly quietguy! Think of all the daily transactions that require an ID: stopped by an officer for any suspicious or illegal activity, must show ID. Purchasing alcohol, tobacco, firearms, prescriptions, etc. requires an ID. Cashing a paycheck or a personal check, depositing money into your account but taking cash out of the deposit. ID. Am I to understand that we have a huge segment of the population that can't do any of these things every day, because they don't have an ID? No one in any of the Social services offices ask for ID to sign you up for benefits? Unemployment, Food Stamps, Welfare, HUD? Seriously? I don't buy that. My point in this thread is simply this: the "requiring an ID disenfranchises voters" argument is a load of . There is something far more sinister behind the irrational objections to Voter ID laws. Florida 2000, and Minnesota 2008 are how the libs intend to conduct, and win, future elections. Consider this: What Al Franken's Election Tells Us | Fox News and then try to post again that voter fraud is rare. Senator Franken (choke) may very well owe his current position to it. -

Thank you for a rational answer with facts backing it up. I, too, agree that both of those issues have been (or can be) easily resolved. So, if there is no cost associated with an ID, wouldn't continued hysterical objections indicate a deeper motive? -

I think the concept Robert is referring to, and what I "liked" his post about is that if you are a perpetual drag on the country, when you are perfectly capable of providing for yourself, you shouldn't be able to vote for folks that increase your take from the government teat. The problem is 47% of the country pays no Federal Income tax. When that number hits 51% our country is finished as we know it. Someone on TGO has the signature that sums it up: "The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money." - Alexis de Tocqueville "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years." - Unknown -

To follow up on the Republicans try to keep minorities from voting: Jesse Jackson filed a lawsuit in Florida following the 2000 election fiasco alleging voter disenfranchisement, three people testified. They all voted. No one testified who was prevented from voting. Couldn't find one. Jesse was so embarrassed, he had himself arrested in Oklahoma so he didn't have to be there. -

I'm so tired of this pathetic rhetoric. Dems are for the poor, blah blah blah; Repubs are EVIL. Give me a break. A Republican abolished slavery and gave them the vote, I guess Abraham didn't get the memo? If you lean left and wish to participate, try really, REALLY hard to limit your typical rhetoric and give a fact or two a chance. How does having to prove who you are keep anyone from legally voting? -
Welcome to TGO. I'm near Morristown as well.

... doesn't this show they are deeply invested in voting without ID? Frankly I don't understand. You can't cash a check, buy alcohol or tobacco without an ID, why should you be able to vote without it?

Prayers. This is awful, glad to hear the preliminary "he is doing ok" report.

Didn't anyone watch Karate Kid II? Take out your wallet, drop it (cause you're scared and all) and MOVE draw and fire while the BG goes for it.

I was thinking "Meh, Gallagher was better" until the anvil fell, then I lolled at the shotgun.

Gaddafi/Gadhafi/Kaddafy/Quaddafi reported dead...
MattCary replied to ttocswob's topic in General Chat
To be honest, I'm quite shocked his dumb ass was still in Libya. I figured he'd be in Venezuela, chillin with Hugo. Killed by a 9mm though. Speculation on the gun that fired it? -
Cain/Gingrich is my dream ticket. Fresh face outsider with bold, real-world based ideas and the former speaker of the house that knows government backwards and forwards = Win in my opinion. Also gets Gingrich in the back door, as his prior crucifixion by the media probably prevents him being elected at the top of the ticket.

Hey Mo!! Wubwubwubwubwubwubwub!! Now who will be the champion for wearing colored bedsheets as your primary attire? -
Gaddafi/Gadhafi/Kaddafy/Quaddafi reported dead...
MattCary replied to ttocswob's topic in General Chat
Alive and screaming his head off, if that is indeed him in the video they just showed. Then later, he is dead with a bullet hole in his head. Draw your own conclusions, but I don't think the ACLU would be happy if it had happened here. -
I did the same today. My 12 yo son put over 350 rounds downrange in his first day shooting today, through my new 10/22 and my uncle's .22 AR.

What are the chances Tennessee stuns LSU on Saturday
MattCary replied to ls3_kid's topic in General Chat
I heard today: 34 players left between all the coaching changes. 12 players de-committed. Go back and look at what is left of the 06, 07, and 08 classes. Then look at the bust that was Kiffin's class. Now name me all of the upperclassmen on this team. Now you have the picture. As for Wyatt's assessment of "lowly Georgia." They will likely be in the SEC Championship game. To answer the question: UT has about a 1% chance of getting positive yardage in the LUS game. .05% in the Bama game. -
I was in Jefferson City Wal-Mart tonight and there is a Remington AR-15 for $897.00 I just saw it through the glass, and remembered this thread.
