Why are conservatives clueless about our Constitution?

[Uncensored2008]

Don't argue with them over what is better.

Ask them the direct question. They set up the premise.

They are talking about compromise.

WHAT ARE THEY WILLING TO COMPROMISE ON?

You know damn well, they aren't willing to compromise on abortion, gay marriage, the iraq war, the economy, on and on and on.

No, on all those things, it must be their way or the highway.

It's ONLY WE that are supposed to compromise while they get their total baby way.

Don't argue with the premise, take them to task for the premise.

Doing anything else is just playing into their tactic.

You can't argue with dumb2three. I don't think he is real. I think it is a virus for ThinkProgress, an artificial stupidity routine that spams shit from the leftist hate sites. You can never get a human response from the cut & paste monkey, just more cut & paste.

How is a unit "well-trained"?
It meets regularly, it has set training and drills, physical standards

How is a unit "well equipped"?
It has good equipment that is up to date, maintained and supportable
How do you know what weapons your militia has and whether they are functional unless you register them?

Shitflinger, would you support putting shooting back into schools as part of the curriculum?

NOW, you're getting it!

Compromise on gun control or gun free zones?

Are liberals willing to compromise on gun control?

Expect crickets on that one!

That attitude is an insult to our founders who formed our very government out of compromise

total horseshit. The war on compromise has been called by Reid and obama. The house has passed hundreds of bills but dingy harry has not let a single one reach the floor of the senate for a vote or discussion.

second point: why are you such a flaming dem/lib lying asshole?

Look, I've been killing threads for three days from liberals cutting and pasting patent lies from their liberal blogs.

The election is coming up, looks like it's going to be a blood bath and they know it. They are trying to contain the bleeding with this bilge.

You notice they didn't talk compromise when Democrats ran the whole show back in 2009? OH NO! Obama said Republicans could ride along but had to get in the back! Remember that!

Obama Tells GOP Get In Back Obama Get In Back Video Mediaite

But NOW that it looks like Republicans might take both houses they start whining about compromise.

It's typical of liberals. They always start whining about the rights of the minority party and compromise when THEY ARE THE MINORITY PARTY.

When they are in charge they tell us to shut up and remember "our place."

Screw 'em. We don't have to put up with this pack of lies from them.

They don't compromise. EVER! Screw 'em!

The term "well regulated" refers to the mechanism for proper functioning. A well regulated engine, being essential to the proper function of an automobile, the right of these morons to change their oil, shall not be infringed.

Hope that helps!

How does a militia function properly?

Command structure, training, registered and well maintained weapons, members in good physical condition

Prepared for that gun owners?

Where does any document about the Militia say their weapons have to be registered?

Now how the **** can you have a well regulated militia if you have no idea what kind of weapons they have?

Mr DINGLE BERRY SIR:


In 1787 “well-regulated” meant circa 1787? meant well-trained and equipped

OK....lets take that definition

How is a unit "well-trained"?
It meets regularly, it has set training and drills, physical standards

How is a unit "well equipped"?
It has good equipment that is up to date, maintained and supportable
How do you know what weapons your militia has and whether they are functional unless you register them?

We are going down a rabbit hole here. Well trained has nothing to do with how often a group meets. Some of the best musicians on earth are "studio musicians". They show up, often having never met anyone else, and play to perfection. Having set training and drills may help depending on the training. There is nothing that says that free individuals with guns don't train in the same manner. Physical standards - purely argumentative. Look at an NFL team. 180 pounders up to 350+ pounders all with differing jobs yet effective and necessary.

How does the act of registering a weapon insure, in your words, "they are functional"? There was a militia before there was a government therefore a militia is not a product of the government.

shitflinger is a troll. His desire is to fling shit, one liners to promote leftism or attack liberty.

I just knock him off the fence occasionally - after which he disappears.

It is very clear that the "militia" is the whole of the people, if needed I can offer a dozen cites to support this. If we desire the militia to be trained, then it makes sense to include such training in the public schools, as was done through the 1950's.

BTW, ever hear of a school shooting in the 50's?

[Dad2three]

Yeah, it was Obama's policies that started the 2008 recession *shaking head*

You're a spambot, an artificial stupidity routine.

I said nothing of Obama creating the recession. Though his mismanagement exasperated the issue.

--------------

1) Higher Energy Costs: When Barack Obama was running for office, he said,"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” Obama seems to have few qualms about lying to the American people when it benefits him, but that is one campaign promise he's working very hard to fulfill. He blocked drilling in ANWR, dramatically slowed offshore drilling and he's blocked the keystone pipeline, which would bring cheap Canadian oil to America. So, when your eyes get big because of how much you have to pay to fill up your car, make sure to say, "Thank you, Obama."

Of course, Obama's also working around Congress to put new regulations on coal and emissions in place that may raise the cost of your energy bills by as much as 60%. So, if your energy bill seems higher this summer, make sure to thank Obama because he's helping to make that happen.

2) Killing The Job Market: Barack Obama has imposed 70 billion dollars in new regulations on American businesses so far, America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world, and Obamacare has caused businesses to freeze hiring and move workers from full to part-time. As a result, even though there are 31 million more Americans now than there were in 2000, there are FEWER Americans working. If you don't have a job today, feel free to thank Barack Obama for helping to make that happen.

3) Higher Student Loan Costs: One of the great aspirations of middle class Americans is sending their kids to college. That takes a lot of money that sometimes needs to be borrowed. Many young Americans who hope to work their way into the middle class have taken out college loans as well. Because of Barack Obama, those college loans cost considerably more. After Obama seized the student loan industry, he talked a lot about making college more affordable. However, what he did was charge higher rates for the student loans so he could take the money and funnel it into Obamacare. The government borrows money at 2.8 percent and loans it out to students at 6.8%. Incidentally, those mean old Republicans? They want to cut the rate to 5.3%, but Obama is fighting to make students pay more. So, if you think you're paying too much interest on student loans, make sure to thank Obama for that.

4) Amnesty For Illegal Aliens: Granted, about a third of the Republicans in the Senate backed amnesty, but Barack Obama and the Democrats backed it overwhelmingly. When so many middle class Americans are struggling to find work and can't make ends meet, it's unconscionable to allow 11 million foreigners who are here illegally to take jobs that would otherwise go to Americans. Worse yet, after the chain migration provisions of the bill go into effect, the numbers would zoom up to 25-30 million foreigners competing with Americans for jobs -- and that's before the new guest worker programs. It's bad enough that people who aren't supposed to be here in the first place are taking jobs that should be held by American citizens, but many people don't realize that they drive down wages for Americans who are already employed. You're only worth as much to a business as it costs to replace you and when there's an army of Obama-approved foreigners ready to take your job, it simply doesn't make sense to pay you as much money. Sadly, this hurts poor Americans even worse than the middle class, but with all the Americans out of work, it's hard to see how any politicians who mean well could want to take away the jobs they need to feed their families. You can be sure that if illegals were primarily taking jobs as reporters, college professors, and lawyers, Democrats like Barack Obama would ferociously oppose illegal immigration. However, since that's not the case, if you're out of a job or making less because of illegal immigration, you can thank Barack Obama for it.

5) Higher Health Care Costs: At this point, almost everyone who pays attention realizes that Obamacare was sold almost entirely with lies. One of the biggest lies was that Obamacare would reduce the cost of care. Barack Obama actually claimed it would cut premiums by 15-20%.

5 Ways Barack Obama Is Making War On The Middle Class - John Hawkins - Page full

See, I can cut and paste too, you ******* monkey.

But I can also make my point using my own thoughts.

Got it, you'll stick with false premises, distortions and LIES. I'm shocked, no really I am

1) Gas is lower today than in the summer of 2008

2) Weird, you'd think 8 years of Duya/GOP's 'job creator' policies the US would've been booming, instead of losing 700,000+ jobs a month when Obama came in?

AGAIN SINCE OBAMACARES PASSED FEB 2010, OVER 10+ MILLION PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS HAVE BEEN CREATED


Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

3) Obama signs student loan bill lowering interest rates

Obama signs student loan bill lowering interest rates - NBC News

4) TOTAL MYTH. Weird after 8 years of Dubya, why wasn't the influx taken care of? lol

5) Just like EVERY other year, costs increase. Obamacares has benefited 25+ million

Misrepresentations, Regulations and Jobs

No hard evidence is offered for this claim; it is simply asserted as self-evident and repeated endlessly throughout the conservative echo chamber.

The table below presents the bureau’s data. As one can see, the number of layoffs nationwide caused by government regulation is minuscule and shows no evidence of getting worse during the Obama administration. Lack of demand for business products and services is vastly more important.

These results are supported by surveys.

The Wall Street Journal’s July survey of business economists found, “The main reason U.S. companies are reluctant to step up hiring is scant demand, rather than uncertainty over government policies, according to a majority of economists.”

In August, McClatchy Newspapers canvassed small businesses, asking them if regulation was a big problem. It could find no evidence that this was the case.

“None of the business owners complained about regulation in their particular industries, and most seemed to welcome it,” McClatchy reported. “Some pointed to the lack of regulation in mortgage lending as a principal cause of the financial crisis that brought about the Great Recession of 2007-9 and its grim aftermath.”


Academic research has also failed to find evidence that regulation is a significant factor in unemployment

MUCH more here Bubba
