Stand by for the Issues that divide speech...

You know the We and Us that are tired of the division in Politics and want to work for the common goals... and everyone that disagrees is part of the problem... Effectively shutting down free speech for fear of being labled racist, bigot, homophobe, intolerant, Conservative.

Except Obama is 100 percent liberal Progressive puppet of the far wacked out looney left.

Very dangerous times indeed.

Here is a letter from a republican candidate, we dodged a bullet.

>”” I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for Americas gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.

I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.

We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.””<

that is hysterical. the constitution would be hung up to dry and people would be executed. the libs rationalize way too much.

off topic, but it is the same thing with illegal immigration. they plan on taking over. lets say you own a home in california. when mexico takes over, we will not be subject to the constitution

what will happen is just like what happened in baja california

americans were put out of their homes by mexican law at gunpoint.

our constitution stands but only if the US stands. If we are no longer territory of the Republic, we are not subject to the constitution.

Obama is our Senator from Illinois.
He did seven years as a State Senator.
Only three years in US Senate!
Good Grief!
It’s really scary! He is a Academia type and has absolutely no experience in the political world outside the US!
A lamb out of the woods.
