The children be darned! Tobacco taxes.

I was under the impression that certain areas of Kaliforia had bans on smoking in cars due to the threat of wild fires as well.

Where is Kaliforia????

If you buy a house or condo in an area that has tenants you know what you can and cant do on your own property. In such a case you have voluntarily infringed on your own rights, nobody forced you into it. Your "rights" and "rules" comparison fails.

The smoking or housing complex rules is just an example of rules and rights bumping up against each other.

One person's heartfelt "right" - bumps up against someone else's heartfelt "rule" all the time. It is human nature.

Fail again. If a place of residence or business has a "rule" against smoking, a smoker has no "right" to smoke there.

I have no right to smoke in your residence and you have no right to object if I smoke in mine.

Maybe you know Kalifornia better as Mexifornia?

Because his education policies delve deep into things other than education. He sees himself as an arbeiter of what is right "for the children." His job is to provide an education for our kids, not to impose HIS world view.

Source, please.

But if you Google him, you will get the current administrations take on him, which of course is glowing.

I didn’t. I got my information from George Will, the Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative American newspaper columnist, journalist, and author.

"I don't want the Government in MY HOUSE.....But I do want them to tell big business how to run itself.

Please,

All the whiners in this country!

A local power company wanted to run high tension wires thru a community.
The AH neighbors banded together and stopped the project.
Oh, it blocks our view, it's dangerous, electro magnetic fields.....Offer them a break in their rates for letting the lines be built and see how many of the cheap SOBs will green light the project.

All the ciggie taxes are just that, taxes.
They flow thru the bureacracy to pay for more jack holes to pass laws that cause more problems...

"OPEN THE DOOR! POLICE! We know you are smoking in there!!!!"

That's a crime!

[blue]

Im not the only one who uses the term "jack hole"!!!

Collin, seriously Im sorry it has come to this. I dont expect the bad habits of others to fund my healthcare or any other expenses.

But relying on government money only makes you a slave and a slave master.

May I assume you will never accept Medicare or Social Security ???

Its not something you come to from just ONE source. It's a opinion developed after looking a a lot of stuff on this guy. I will get back to you one this, but I am having a crazy busy day. LOL

Actually, it goes in directions that are not part of this thread... So maybe I will post a fresh one. Because it will most likely end up with another "gun control/mind control" debate. LOL

No need to get back with me - if you had indicated it was your opinion, I would not have responded further.

[Puckstop31]

Well, I want to respond further. Because you asking for a source of that opinion is a little worrisome. I mean, a guy like him would NEVER just come out and say those things. You have to do a in depth study of the MAN. Almost like doing a biography.

The historical method is a wonderful thing, it just takes time. You can see the future if you study the past.

More to come, probably. I just need to find some time. Also, no need to reply to it, just a FYI.

I thought you already had done this. That's what you based your opinions
of the man on, right?

Aren't you the clever little racist!

[blue]

Aren't you the clever little racist!

Clever? I have my moments, if I where realy clever I would have writen the book and be a best selling author.

Racist? Hardly, unless Kalifornians are now a race of their own, but thanks for the insult.

May I assume you will never accept Medicare or Social Security ???

I dont expect either to be around in the near future, so Im planning ahead.

Or unemployment. Or food stamps. Or workers' comp. Or veterans benefits.

We can certainly tell he did not take advantage of public education.

He does not even know the correct names of the states!

I currently qualify for Food Stamps and no I am not participating, families with kids have a far greater need for the funds then I do.

Ive paid more into unemployment, and workmans comp then I have recieved back by a longshot, and they are not the same as government handouts.

To equate Veterans Benifits as a handout is an insult to every man and woman who has served the United States of America who earned those benifits by serving.

I graduated public school with honors, so again thanks for the insult.

For someone who likes to make fun of and insult others you realy dont understand sarcasm in the least.

I'm not very often in agreement with anything that "blue" has to say, however, this is an exception. I stand behind this statement 100%!

I'll add that providing for a military is one of the very few things the Federal Government is actually allowed to do via the Constitution.

I am a combat wounded veteran. Do I personally think that entitles me to anything special? No, absolutley not. My view is that it was a PRIVILIDGE for me to serve this country that I love in the way that I was able. Sure, I have a partial hearing loss in my left ear from the service. A hand grenade explosion, being a tank crewman and LOTS of combat shooting (no ear plugs) will do that to ya. But again, I am not going to take the money I am "entitled" to because of that. I don't NEED it.

My Dad on the other hand.... He is fighting stage 3 non-hodgkins lymphoma that the VA says is the result of Agent Orange exposure from his 2 tours of duty in Vietnam. Nothing to say of the mental anguish he still quietly fights to this day. I've only seen my Dad cry ONCE in my entire life. That was at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in DC. Don't we think he might have actually EARNED a little gratitude from our country?

So, it IS a little insulting to compare Welfare to Veterans Benefits.
