Egads........what an entitlement mentality!! The idiots actually think that the laws "protect" the people, when it's just a money making machine. These people wouldn't want the tax increase if folks quite buying "sin" products.

I love the bs line that the government IS the people. If that were the case, when 90% of the people said NO BANK BAIL-OUT we would have had NO BAILOUT.

off topic, but can you post a new thread, 'Open letter to Alex Jones by Ted Pike'? can be found on google & it's pretty interesting. thanks
I read it yesterday. The videos were particularly interesting and Pike's conclusions were preaching to the choir, but the topic has been beaten to a stalemate here so I elected not to belabor the point.
If those with who we disagree were "the enemy" I'd post it but I respect them and I won't insult them by expecting them to roll over at this point.
I say this because even though I trust my instincts they do not constitute conclusive proof that ewe gno hoo iz a ewe gno watt. The fact that AJ avoids any meaningful criticism of a certain class of "victims" is not in dispute, and his change of tune in the past 2 years (as demonstrated by the videos) doesn't prove the point that I feel is most important. (Izzy See Eye Ayyyyyy?)
Thank you for the reference to it for the benefit of those interested.
one more thing. i am not familiar wit pike but found his case particularly interesting since i hold a nearly identical position which ive posted for years; that is that as Christians, we have a moral obligation to resist evil and expose it. Also, i like the fact that Pike's admonitions of Jones were not personal or hateful, like most of the anti jones screeds are.
...that is that as Christians, we have a moral obligation to resist evil and expose it.
He made that point so eloquently that even I was impressed, and I'm usually unmoved by Christians professing a political mandate. Of course this isn't the same as Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell (who by now is no doubt playing gut bass in The Gabriel Quartet) claiming that GAWD wanted us to vote Republican.
