No CHL questions so far. Molto interresante.

If I were feeling particularly cynical... I'd say that someone who showed up the day before the election with a clear Obama bias and who isn't particularly interested in CHL had... an agenda of some sort.

But I'll save the cynicism and say that this could be a good opportunity for someone to learn about the correct operation of a constitutional republic.

Speaking to the original topic - I don't put political stickers on my car. Tactically it seems like all it gets you is antagonism (people who agree with you will just leave you alone... people who disagree strongly enough could create problems of varying degrees) and besides... I prefer a cleaner look to my vehicles.

Finally... isn't it a sick state of affairs when we have to work so hard to convince people that the Constitution actually means what is flippin' says??? How hard is that?

The die hard republican really created their own mess. If you all really wanted a theocracy you should have started a long time ago. This country is a Democracy and as such the votes count (most of the time) Your all simply out numbered now. I guess all of the Die hards could move to Alaska and merge the cessation party with the republican party and all live in theocratic bliss. You could call it the Republic of Alaska.

This country is not, actually, a Democracy. In a true democracy 51% of people could theoretically enslave 49%.

We live in a Constitutional Republic wherein the government is supposed to respect and not infringe upon the inherent rights of man, some of which are enumerated in the Constitution for particular emphasis.

I don't see Obama doing much except touting class warfare and socialist ideas - populist demagoguery engineered with the intent to harness the outrage generated by the excesses of the current administration (excesses supported, by the way, with the assent of the Democrat-controlled legislature!They didn't put up much of a fight.) I don't see a whole lot of discussion of individual rights, or a voting record that supports it either.

Or to put it another way - the "hope and change" rhetoric is a stone-simple psy op designed to get you to leap from the current frying pan into the fire, using "childlike thinking." You're welcome to jump if you'd like. I'll be out here in the non-gated community... where the folks I've come to know and love are too.

Nice first post there...
