Eric Holder: Gun Owners Should 'Cower' in Shame Like Smokers

According to The2Dogs, Obama is an "avowed" socialist. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of avowed is: to declare openly, bluntly, and without shame. If anybody has evidence of that, I would love to see it. As for this article you posted, if you look closely, it calls Obama an "NP endorsed" candidate, and not a "member" like it does with Ted Thomas and Ruth Schools. Originally Posted by TPJR

According to Stanley Kurtz, a journalist with National Review, Obama attended meetings of The New Party and paid dues. He was a member. You obviously didn't read the article; you should.

From the nationalreview.com

On the evening of January 11, 1996, while Mitt Romney was in the final years of his run as the head of Bain Capital, Barack Obama formally joined the New Party, which was deeply hostile to the mainstream of the Democratic party and even to American capitalism.

Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:

Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.

More bullshit. He even quotes the bullshit in his article but ignores it.

Kinda like you Porky!

You do not get it, do you?

There are probably a dozen or more folks on here who are much more expert than the Supreme Court. Just listen to them--post after post. Originally Posted by Old-T

I'm completely certain that no one who posts on this website is an expert on the Supreme Court or the Constitution. This is just a forum for people to bullshit. Originally Posted by joe bloe

But Justices aren't Justices anymore. They're puppets. The Constitution is whatever they can twist it to mean. This isn't new, it's been going on a long time. By both parties.

I'm sure that's true. It may be practiced by both parties, but it isn't practiced as often by conservative judges as by liberal judges. It isn't the conservative judges that advocate a living document view of the Constitution. The living document theory gives them an excuse to rule with complete disregard for original intent; it's at the heart of all judicial activism.

John Roberts' vote to uphold Obamacare was an anomaly. At least I hope it's not an indication that the Republicans have put another stealth liberal on the bench. We have a habit of doing that.

He joined the party, how much more avowed can you get.

You really should do a little unbiased research on Obama.
Your protests are one of two things; either it is total ignorance or deflection.

Here is a video of Obama's long association with the socialist New Party..........

Obama is never confronted with his actions. If a Republican president had joined some sort of fringe group the media would have beat him to death with questions. He would be under siege.

Republican politicians have to walk a tightrope without a net. One false step and their career in politics is over. Democrats work with a net. The mainstream media works to hide anything that might hurt the cause of socialism.

1. I'm not sure that he was a member, given the fact that the article and that youtube video clearly identify him as a member in 1 part, and as an endorsed candidate in another part.
2. Even if he were a member, I really couldn't care less as the New Party is not a socialist organization, although their political views are more left leaning than the mainstream Democratic Party. Given that there are actual socialist organizations in the US to compare to, it's ridiculous to claim that Obama and the New Party are anytjhing like them.

Now, this is the important bit, there is no edit, but if you look at his body language, he does a jerk, there is a clear pause, and it is clear that he is not just continuing from his previous phrase, he is going back to comments before then, he is summarising the situation.

So the transcript you quoted is still a lie, because there is more than a comma at 1:00. There is some kind of gutteral full stop, or semi colon.

So you are still a liar.

You can tell the comman is a lie, it makes the quote nonsense.

A comma can be a lie, a comma can completely change the meaning.

Another thing you ride the fence on.

Are you chicken or hawk?

Neither.

You're a chicken, hawk.

How is insisting on an originalist interpretation of the Constitution sitting on the fence? You are making shit up about me, again, Münchausenman.

Why would any person in their right mind make deliberate mistakes? I still think you should seriously consider shock therapy. The memory is loss is fairly minor, and since you're a hopeless liberal, you wouldn't be losing anything of any value anyway.

You then see if all 5 mistakes have been found or not during review, and how many other non-deliberate mistakes are found. You can then get some metrics on the quality of the software and the quality of the review team.

On that basis, TPJR would join my review team, and nobody else on this forum
