When Rev. Wrights Church was attacked, Obama was attacked. got it? Its actually really easy to understand.

So does that mean that I can now say that whenever you say anything bad about a Muslim that you are attacking all Muslims and you won't argue the point?

Uh no; there's money that protects the car. There are statues that protect personal property, however, because the car comes under a state "privilage" it is subject to unwarrented search and siezure. The holder of the "pink slip"; like a deed, is the owner. The issue is really one of the civil war.

Once again, either the left wing is nuts or they really understand what he was saying and are just being (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s.

Pick one.

If the government overtaxs, overregulates corporations, both small and large, it will affect people. If the government overtaxs, overregulates people they will affect corporations.

It's really not that hard to understand what the man was saying. Perhaps some folks need to break away from the Internet and do something else for awhile. Sitting on the net you can get tunnelvision and lose common sense b/c you get to wrapped up in your idealogy.

I think that is what is happening here. As for the idiots in the DNC, I don't expect anything substantial out of them.

Get it through your head. And that separate singular entity is made up of those individuals makeing what they call a corporation. In other words they and the corp. are people.

People lose their rights once they form a corporation; they cease being persons. It's different, though, when they form a union.

How exactly do people lose their rights when they form a corporation?

It really is a shame people can't be banned for posting abject imbecilities.

They don't lose their rights. They retain their right to spend money on political speech, among other things.
