County Judge in Texas and his Obama fear

I remember when I was a young man the US fought against Communism, now they are backing one of our Presidential candidates and his party.

I've seen the civil war argument made on both sides of the political spectrum.

I do think we as a country continue to go down a more and more partisan track though, and people whom I consider good friends get downright mean when it comes to politics, but there's no doubt we're still a long ways away from an actual fighting with force kind of civil war.  

Plus the left knows the right would win because they have all the guns... (sorry, couldn't resist)

"Wolverines!"

A lot of strange views and scary stuff out there have ya heard about the Social Security Administration and other agency's buying hundreds of thousands of rounds of hollow point bullets?  The New Black Panthers calling for the bombing of nursery schools and the white supremacist attacking the Sheik temple.  It can make one believe we are coming apart at the seams.

I'm sure he was just coming up witha really bad "what if" senario... but so what... aliens invading would be worse I would think.... and even a bit more believable that Obama ordering UN troops on US soil. Give me a flipin break. Where do people get this stuff?

I could envision a state trying to seccede. That would be the first step. For it to actually come to civil war... I do not think in this day and age Americans would take up arms against each other... but for any President to just "draw up" documents and surender our soverignty to the U.N.??? This guy really needs to find a different line of work because he clearly does not understand law.

Jim, Really?  Do you think this is the same?  Is Obama now a communist because he got an endorsement from them?

The civil rigth movement also fougth for equality for all americans and i wouldnt blame any candidate now days if a fringe white supremacist group would come up an endorse them without their approval.

Off-topic, but in the same vain, I found this VERY funny...

On the board my wife frequents, they have tin-foil-hat nut-jobs as well.  After the Supreme Court upheld most of Obamacare, one woman wrote that she was so upset.  So angry what this 'Socialist, Muslim President' was doing to our country, that she's decided to pack up and move... to CANADA!

My wife and I couldn't stop laughing for an hour over that irony.

Stupid people are still allowed to breed.  *sigh*

You want even crazier and more stupid (not that i think that oppossing Obamacare by itself it is stupid)  Read this

It may look like i'm picking on the GOP intentionally but i can honestly say i'm not, the DEM sure say a lot of crazy things as well.  But the tendency of some GOP members to pick figths with science doesnt seize to amaze me

Yup.  Like using the words "legitimate" and "rape" in the same sentence.  Who would even conceive to put those two words together?!  Regardless of the context, it reflects your thinking.  When I think of rape, it just sort of stands out there like the horror that it is.  "Rape" is rape.  There's no varying degree.  No grey.  No debate.  It's just bad and wrong.

My main point is if someone had said 40 years ago we'd even be having this discussion about the Communist Party endorsing a Presidential (our sitting president no less) candidate and the most powerful political party in the USA today, you should have a tin foil hat on.

So, really, nothing would surprise me.

Pardon me, I have to run, as it turns out Walmart has a sale on Reynolds wrap this weekend.

That is just factually inaccurate.

But there are legitimate cases of rape and false accusations.  How you read it says more about how you think than how the speaker thinks sometimes.

And to go further, the distinction was made between forcible rape and statutory rape. The point is statutory rape is consentual... if it is not consensual, it is just rape, regardless of the age involved. But if a 30 year old has pizza with a 16 yo then it is statutory... and creepy and wrong, even if it was consenual. However, in many cases, young people have been charged with statutory rape with only a couple of years difference... and 18 yo and a 16 yo is still statutory rape... but hardly perverse or sinister.

Now I get it... as soon as those two words fall out of your mouth you have a lot of backing up and explaining to do... bad choice... you could just say rape... and consentual statutory between two young people... but the word choice was horrible. Once again, a gaffe, and not some sinister intent to change the definition of rape and make it all warm and fuzzy.

I'd just like to say, "welcome to my world"
