Nope. Stinger was trying to make it sound like Dems are always doing shady stuff, I was merely pointing out that it goes both ways.

DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I think some Republicans on this site assume that we are ignorant to the fact that Democrats are also shady.
We admit this freely, they attack and never admit that it goes both ways.

One major reason we immigrated from Denmark was that the Government was to controlling. My Dad's saying pretty much explains it all. He would rather be a hungry wolf than a fat, chained dog.

Get the government out of our private lives instead of keeping us "safe" by controlling every aspect of our lives.

You know, I find it scarry that I, a liberal, need to explain this to a conservative. That is a sad testement to what has happened to the conservatives and the republicans.:(

What's sad is that your intelligence level allowed you to think you had to explain your paranoia. What is also scarry is that you actually think that the Government "controlls every aspect of your life." Perhaps you should spend more time reading about American Government and stop whining about a 4 or 8 year max tenure that your life will be "controlled" by any President. Perhaps you should go back to Denmark so that your "Dad" can present to you a "controlling" government and you can better appreciate the freedoms that my government provides.


....and last I checked....I'm not a registered Republican. I vote for the best man...not what my political masters demand.

But then, MAO was from China. You can't possibly have forgotten THAT, can you? And then, Mao also has been trashed in China. In fact, nowhere do you see Mao having much intellectual or political influence. So that claim is just bogus.

What claim? I merely mentioned that we do not know all of the facts and one should consider that we don't have all of the information before we succumb to complaining and being foolish.

Any book written on American Government is false compared to today's government standards.

Not a true statement. More complaining.

And how, exactly, would that be considered a complaint? The man was just saying that he doesn't think any books on U.S. government are accurate when compared to the practices of our current administration.

Do you have any books you would recommend on the subject?

Not complaining.
More brainwashed Rhetoric.

Which is called complaining. His comment was mere bashing. Library's full of books on government. What I find humorous is how so many people complain about how horrible their government is with every President. It's pathetic. If I was European, I'd look down on us too.

Just because you don't agree with the administration does not mean you're complaining, and especially not complaining about the government as a whole.

I really don't see how what he said was complaining OR bashing.....but think what you like.

I'm perfectly aware that the library is full of books on government....I asked if you had any specific ones to recommend.

I would avoid books on Chinese Cookery and All-Borscht Brunches, as well. Just to be safe.

Duly noted. I was also thinking that "When In France, Do As The French Do" might not be such a good idea.

Heck, even Digital Fortress might raise a red flag...
 
I wonder if "Animal Farm" would raise suspicion?

Well what do you call it when the Dems went after Thomas video rentals. The left is all up in arms about under very speicfic circumstances concerning terrorism that a persons library records can be sought but don't seem to have a problem going after an opponents video records.

But back to the core issue, library records have NEVER been off limits for search warrants.

Yeah, exactly, WARRANTS. Key word these days.

There's been many a Republican that's done things like going after video records and god knows what else......and if you think differently, prove me wrong.

The Democrats went after Clarence Thomas' video store rentals when up for SCOTUS...

OK...what's the next challenge?...Proving that a chick a Senator met and tried to get some died her in "an accident" when the car went over a bridge?...:2wave:

Well, actually, according to a little research (remember, I was only about 7 or 8 at the time), they actually went after Robert Bork's video rental records.

They just accused Thomas of sexual harrassment - remember the name Anita Hill?

Reps went after Clinton's nominee for Attorney General, Zoe Baird. But ok, they were right to do it, 'cause she did have illegal aliens working as her nanny and chauffeur.

Lani Guinier? She was Clinton's nom for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Reps shut her down by launching a media campaign saying she was "anti-Constitutional" and "a quota queen".

There's some other shady stuff I found, but it's really not that big of a deal to me.....Dems do it to the Reps, the Reps turn around and do it to the Dems...and so on and so forth.....
