Economic rights are good. Capitalism sucks. In-depth analysis, folks.
Better than the usual More Weapons, More Billionaires, I suppose, except
that Bernie's for more weapons too.

Looks like a strong case. I stand corrected. Better dynamite the Native Americans in the monument to genocide and replace them with British troops. And then get rid of the monstrosity. An extra $19.95 should cover this new approach.

Why a balance between safety and being over-policed? Why not go all the way toward the safety end of the spectrum and away from the over-policed end?

On this rock, Monroe dreamed up his doctrine, but don't tell the millions who've suffered as a result, as we wouldn't want the rock damaged.

Please
explain to me why I should support someone who wants the job of
overseeing a budget 60% of which goes to militarism who has a website
that doesn't acknowledge that that 60% of discretionary spending, 96% of
humanity, 99.5% of the world's nations, all questions of war, peace,
weapons dealing, diplomacy, international law, global conflict and
collaboration even exist at all. Does she want more weapons or fewer?
More wars or fewer? Which current wars would she try to end, escalate,
continue? How many threats of nuclear war makes an impeachable offense?
Should Congress give presidents a license for all wars? Is diplomacy
ever useful? Which foreign governments should be overthrown? WHO KNOWS!

60 days notice is ridiculous violation of the First Amendment. What's needed is to ban all non-gun weapons and to lobby the state for the right to ban guns.

Pretty nasty and hypocritical. Calling someone a liar with zero evidence in text or link or anything of the sort, while simultaneously bitching that they failed to provide a link to something.

Polls had a majority in favor of impeaching Dubya and Pelosi working hard to prevent it. What is the prediction of democratic behavior by Democrats based on?

Both a local and state government reports telling city and state to ban weapons from these things, and *STILL* no mention whatsoever of the entire problem or its solution in the media coverage. Lovely.
