First off, Its called the Bonnie Blue, not that I would expect somebody like you to know that.

Second, your argument is totally of base and irrelevant. Hate is hate is does not matter whether or not it is based upon lying. The argument here centers around the idea of trying say that only the Right hates. Which is patently false. As very clear example I pointed out that clearly the left is capable of hate, i.e. they display hate to G.W., and hate towards anybody of the conservative bent. So the point, which you clearly missed, was that the left wing kookery is just guilty of hate and the argument that the only Right hates is stupid.

Gee thanks for the lecture pal, not the argument I am interested in having though. I don't blog to find the solution, especially not on this site.

Nope missed it completely. I know you are not conservative because never once in your rant did you mention personal responsibility.

And I appreciate that you support Janice, however, at this point in the game I can safely say there are at least two other people in this race that are "rational, fair minded, and honestly motivated... someone I trust is trying to do the right things for the right reasons. I have no need for corrupt or stupid politicians of any persuasion (sic)."

So guess what bub, ideology matters and neither you nor Janice have that right. Law is organized justice, that should be the limit of government. Anytime you use govt. to take from one to give to another whether it be at the state or federal level you are cross-ways with conservative ideals. Which is fine just don't go on trying to call yourself conservative by any definition.

That is BS, you can't tell me that the liberals did not hate George W. That is a stupid argument.

Please pay attention, the quote was from Goldwater as in Barry Goldwater the father of conservatism. Tom I would wager you are either A) a liberal or B) a neocon. What I cited was not wacko fringe its just plain old conservative, if you meant to say that she is a neocon and you are okay with that, then you should say that. I think you will find the country is becoming tired of Bush neocons like Janice. As for well intended, you know what they say about the road paved with good intentions.... We don't need anymore John McCain RINOs.

"Though business principles should be applied in government, Arnold-Jones said, the difference in government is that the interests of the public must always be first."

Ummm no. The law or more directly the Constitution should always be first. Janice I have a quote for you:

"The turn will come when we entrust the conduct of our affairs to the men(read:and women) who understand that their first duty as public officials is to divest themselves of the power that they have been given. It will come when Americans, in hundreds of communities throughout the nation, decite put the man(read: or woman) in office who is pledged to enforce the Constitution and restore the Republic" -Barry Goldwater (Conscience of a Conservative)

Janice you betray the fact that you are not conservative and soon enough those of us outside of ABQ will be saying no to you, instead of "Janice who?"

And that makes the governor's conduct ethical how?

Are you excusing his actions?

That's sarcasm right?

Re: Houseboat crash prompts lawmaker to urge change in boating law

Thomas_James — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:46:48 -0000

Thats their solution???? Ha. That does not bode well for Ms. Martinez if all she can muster is we should change the law. How about this we have legitmate ethics inquiry, impeach the gov. and toss him out. What is wrong with this State why would we let a governor conduct himself in such a manner, it reflects poorly on our own character as a state.

V.B. a very good article and definite food for thought. If we could only get you to focus on the egregious waste of water inabove ground reservoir storage in the desert, you and I might cease to disagree.

I think you touched on the most important part of this argument in the area of the juristic person. It is unfathomable to think that at the drafting of the Constitution that its composers intended for the Bill of Rights to apply to a corporation or organization. Case in point, you never hear of an organizational right to own a gun. Nobody makes the argument that a 501 (c) 3 should be allowed to own a gun. Why because very simply that is a right of the individual, just as you point out free speech is. There should be no argument that a collective is entitled to an individual right. A strong argument can be made that a individual should be allowed to give and spend there money in politics without limit, but you most certainly cannot stretch that logic to allow a group of individuals that same right. Campaign contributions should limited to individual contributions and corporate intervention in politics should be strongly discouraged.

Re: Gun toting can chill free speech — and worse

Thomas_James — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:02:33 -0000

As a gun owner for once VB, I must say I largely agree with you. Just because you have the right doesn't mean you should exercise it unwisely and in offensive manners. I don't think there should be laws banning the carrying of firearms to rallies, but people should have enough individual responsibility to know better than to bring something like that to a rally. A gun is tool. And for once VB you got the Constitution right.

Re: Immigrants once again become convenient scapegoat

Thomas_James — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:56:03 -0000

There is no such thing legally as an undocumented immigrant. To immigrant legally you must be documented and go through the process. Lets call a spade a spade they are illegal aliens.

Not everybody opposed to illegal immigration is a racist, but I would wager that many people like you Mr. Sandoval are racist. Its just in favor of a minority group so you think it is okay.

No there is only one way to handle this debate and that is through the rule of law which is actually color blind. These people came here illegally and broke the law. Our Country should not be rewarding law breaking with citizenship. If you have a problem our current LEGAL immigration process the reform that, but simply allowing 12 million people to break the law is wrong under our system of government. Typical stupid lib philosophy to ignore the legitimate process to fix the laws and then whine when somebody offers to break the law in the opposite direction. Its simple follow the law and if you don't like the law then follow the process to change the law. If you can't follow the law then you get in trouble and in this case you should get shipped back. The drug trade and the human trafficking trade prospers on the backs of these illegal aliens and you Mr. Sandoval are guilty of helping to promulgate it by failing to follow the law.

To answer your question (Seriously first):

Yes we would be upset by 12 million Canadian Law Breakers

Yes we would blame them if they came and illegally helped us drive up our national debt without contributing their fair share.

The guy with the bullet comment is stupid and its stupid to try and make him the flag bearer for anybody opposed to illegal immigration. Any moron knows he is the exception and not the rule, you have to have a better argument than that.

On a side sarcastic note, of course we would be upset if 12 million canadians showed up. I mean really people in the country dislike the french more than almost anybody and there are bound to be a bunch of Quebecers in the group
