Oh, for crying out loud...

That's freaking "Media Matters", the single most anti-right website in the internet, created and funded by the most extreme-left millionaire on the planet.

That's like quoting Conservapedia on left-wing issues.

This isn't a Left/Right divide. Conservative judges are often the biggest defenders of Constitutional Rights because they often rely on Original Intent. While the Left often has a much more expansive idea of how government should protect citizens. Both of which frequently over-ride the more stereotypical political ideology.

That D or R is no real indicator of which way a politician will fall on the issue.
You sir, you just won. You won for a smart post and a freaking awesome avatar.

What did ou expect? Liberals are the ones that like to have the government tell you how to live your life, not republicans.

What I don't get is all those American conservatives (Limbaugh included) who seem to think that the constitution says that if you're not an American citizen you don't have any rights within America (thus giving them justification for treating foreign terrorist suspects like shit, etc.). Bullshit, the constitution says PEOPLE, not CITIZENS. Jesus people, at least read the damn constitution before you start to 'defend' it, I'm Canadian and I know more about it then you do.
It reads "We the People of the United States", in an age where "citizenship" was applied to individual states, whose entire citizenry was collectivelly reffered to "the United States People".

Meaning that, in fact, "People" means "Citizens" in the U.S. Costitution.

I'm nether a U.S. American nor Canadian, but I know more about their Constitution than you do, apparently. Besides that, Canada's Immigration laws are strictier than in the U.S. You should know that.

doesn't actually surprise me

anti-video game legislation is a liberal thing - Major players, such as Tipper Gore and Joe Lieberman are both democrats.

The fact that Schwarzenegger is heading this latest foray is odd, as he's a pretty staunch republican, but then again, he is a "hollywood" republican.

*shrug*

Better yet, read a book by him. He's actually fairly reasonable in some cases, and always backs up his claims with valid quotes and evidence.

You might still not agree, but hey. At least you read the guy's own material.

So... Yeah.

As if I care. The things the guy said about the U.S.A. and others helping Haiti, are unforgivable.

So, I'm not the glad that he's the only guy understanding that.

Agreed. Democrats never heard the quote "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases." -Thomas Jefferson.

Also I have listened to Rush on the radio and he's a really smart guy. No idea what all the hatred is for.

I guarantee that every quote you've heard about "STOP HELPING HAITI" or any other completely unreasonable thing he has said was either in a parody or horrendously decontextualized. He's not an absolute maniac.

Well, anyone who blows that much wind is liable to say SOMETHING I agree with at some point.

Of course, his point is a fallacy, but hey. I doubt he believes %90 of the things he says anyway; I'd go on the air and spout bigotry and non-logic too if I knew it would make me that much money.

BINGO! That's why it confuses me so much when people treat censorship as a two-sided political issue. Both conservatives and liberals have advocated censorship. Conservatives tend to be better known for pushing religious-based censorship, but the biggest players in media and video game censorship through the past couple decades--Tipper Gore, Lieberman and Hillary Clinton--are all liberal or liberally slanted.

Stop trying to pick a political side on this issue; just go for what you think is right.
