First, conservatives (these days I must seperate conservatism from "Republicans") must push past the smoke and mirrors of the cap and trade argument and frame this in its proper perspective and that this is just one GIANT TAX. You and your kid will bear the brunt of this tax and carry the water for those means tested (can't afford) the necessity of energy, in whatever form. Yes, it is socialism, yes it is bigger and more intrusive government. People hear that but they understand when they are told your gas bill will be 25-40% hire this coming winter to keep your children warm. The arguments for saving the planet from the evils of carbon are a straw man constructed to divert the discussion. Saving the planet is great when it is on someone elses dime.

It mandated that the contractor increase the number of "previously underutilized populations" into our workforce. Great to see that we've got affermative action on the run. Excuse me I can't type anymore do to the blood shooting out of my eyes!!!!!!

It is in the spirit of this web-site that you can perhaps should post your objection. I would note that not many agree with your post and I do not believe you are correct. The constructs and bedrock of our Representative Republic are based on the premise that our inaliable rights flow from God. A God, not a christian god, a cathiloc god, buddist god, but a god as we may know him. This could be as simple as something more than we are. I challenge you to find a county, republic or people that proved successful without any influence of a benevolent diety. Many religions share the same tenents of social interaction and justice. Let me bring it down to a more individual level. In the universe of AA, a person that has lost everything, including hope, to the ravages of alcohol is entreated to acknowlege that they are powerless and that only a god as they know them can give them the strength to overcome.

I we should start refering to our Representatives as Ex-Cons for thier abandonment of the original constitutional principles.

In the far flung regions of the world, (Pakistan, Afganastan, ect.) automatic firearms are made by hand with crude tools. We can only interdict a small amount of the tons of narcotics shipped into the united states. What makes anyone think that banning or effectively banning through taxation and regulation would limit the number of guns in the hands of thugs. Would anyone want to be in the impotent position of the Mexican civilians forced to live among armed gangs. Gun violence is a symptom of a greater underlying disease in society. Gun bans are the tylenol given to a patient for a fever caused by a systemic and virulent infection. The fever won't kill you in and of itself but you'll be dead all the same.
