This may come as a terrible shock to you wes, but whether you like me or not has nothing to do with what I think or feel about any issue.

And you'd be well served by not taking legal advice from the pseudo-lawyer from Pennsylvania. Although you fit together like two peas in a pod, as your mode of legal analysis comes down to "if I agree, its right, otherwise, its unconstitutional." Luckily, actual lawyers don't operate that way.

As for my views on the Second Amendment, I've posted them frequently. Most recently in an exchange with you. It's not my fault you can't remember.

it is you who are attempting to change the accepted interpretations that Dave and I support. these interpretations have been accepted since the nation s birth and it is YOU who are trying to change them because YOU don t like them.

I've got the US Supreme Court, which has repeatedly ruled that the Declaration of Independence has no separate legal effect. It's a basic bar exam question -- black letter Constitutional law -- something you learn the first week of law school.

Not to mention a long and strong friendship with the poster you're trying to denigrate. And a belief -- demonstrated by 10+ years of posts -- that Sue understands the law better than you or Dave, and a lot of people who post here.

Plus, I've got the ability to do a quick search of this site and find out what I've posted before. It's very simple. Try it some time.

What do you have, other than calling me a pit bull and a caricature?

ETA: WOOF!

I really hope that republicans win this election cycle and complete this particular revolution. then I ll give them four to six years to turn the tide and start their own over reach before I switch sides again. maybe it will take 8 to 12 yrs this time tho, since the Dems have, successfully, gone so far to the left lately. there is a lot of ground to be taken back before we reach a happy medium.

This morning, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry promo'd her show by announcing that the first segment would be about, "Where were you, when the Confederate flag was taken down from the Capitol grounds in South Carolina?"...

(That of course brought an immediate click of the remote on my part; thanks for the warning Melissa)

Apparently for Prof. Harris-Perry, this "event" is of a transcendental, epochal level of importance in modern American history... on a par with The Kennedy Assassination, The Moon Landing, and The 9/11 Attacks....

You're right that those things are not equal at all.

The three you mention took less time to complete and were easier

Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

Because you're hateful and mean-spirited I'm sure you'd very much rejoice in seeing someone you merely dislike, who has never done you any wrong, fail . . .

. . . but alas, I cannot grant you this desire. Sooooooo far from failing, I'm daily checking things off my bucket list and enjoying a thriving business, a truly gorgeous home with fabulous gardens this time of year, and a generally very happy life filled with fun activities with treasured friends/family.

With any luck, I'll never grow up to be bitter and ugly like you are, my dear. :nana :fu

Oh Lord - it's the return of the old rubato/LJ show (both participants of which are to be heartily congratulated on not resurrecting it themselves).;

Ladies, please just stop or start your own thread so everyone else can avoid it.
Or do as you will and continue this unbecoming slag-fest

Thank you

Actually, the range from top to bottom of the nursing profession is shockingly wide.


While the top 5 % are very good the bottom 4/5ths of the RN range are amazingly stupid and incompetent.

Yes, it should say "act shocked" not " acted shocked"...
