I don't know why everybody is freaking out about him agreeing with us. He has always been a huge proponent of free speech in all media, and video games are a form of media, so....

Well i definitely don't agree with his policies as they are so right-winged the plane would start to spiral. But he got his constitution right atleast, unlike those tea partiers.

I love the both of you so much it hurts. Until this thread, I was under the impression that the mere mention of Rush would result in nothing more than the oozing of hatred-infused bile from the other users of this site. I'm so very glad I'm wrong. I'm not exactly a tremendous fan, but it infuriates me every time he's painted as a white supremacist bigot Sith.Credge said:
Sure, he's an utterly repulsive smoking, drinking, pill-popping loudmouth, but I guess I could agree with him just this once.
This once. Just this once.
This once. Just this once.
Find me anything that says (WITH CONTEXT) anything about "non-conservatives are terrorists", and I'll concede. Until then, I'm sure you're using hyperbole.HankMan said:

Ha. Being an objectivist I like Limbaugh and Beck, but what I dont like is them trying to shove religion down my throat. I think its funny how you guys see Us right wingers as nut jobs. Bent on stopping anything we dont agree with. That we should make people more "decent"
I believe man can do what ever he wants as long as he doesnt physicaly harm another, say what ever he feels, express him self in any form.Right wingers like us, we dont want less speech and freedom-we want more of it. I want the nancy pelosi's of the world to stop trying to force us by law to be politically correct. Righ wingers like Limbaugh and me we want every to be free to do as they feel.

"The Act was passed by wide margins in both houses of Congress and was supported by members of both the Republican and Democratic parties."Xzi said:
"In July 2005, the U.S. Senate passed a reauthorization bill with substantial changes to several sections of the act, while the House reauthorization bill kept most of the act's original language. The two bills were then reconciled in a conference committee that was criticized by Senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties for ignoring civil liberty concerns."

Unfortunately you are incorrect about the original content. The Founding Fathers wished for America to be an example to the rest of the world, to show that their society was one of liberty and freedom (all this was, of course, in theory). The American Constitution served as a document of a new kind of political thought grounded in the logic of liberal thinkers like John Locke. Locke's concept of 'natural rights', that every person has a core set of inalienable rights as set forth by God was a huge part of the American political movement during the Revolution, and continued after when they were making the Constitution. The Constitution says people and means it, 'we the people' is used, but citizenship wasn't defined in the Constitution until the Fourteenth Amendment I believe. Yet the document states people, as can be seen in this youtube video by a member of the American Civil Liberties Union (who, I think we can safely say, has more knowledge on the subject them both of us combined):Cocamaster said:
(Skip to 1:15 for the part of the Constitution that defines citizens and recognizes the natural rights of 'people')
Indeed, and I didn't say that wasn't the case, what I said is that there is a series of conservatives in the United States who, through ignorance, feel that the United States Constitution doesn't recognize the rights of any non-American person. That youtube video I posted above has a good example of Sarah Palin, and Limbaugh himself said this on Abu Ghraib:Sir John the Net Knight said:
"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation ... And we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day [referring to the U.S. Military service members]. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release?"
Basically, this people, specifically, don't recognize the rights of foreign nationals, even though the Constitution says that PEOPLE in general have a right to a fair public trial and all the legal rights that protect U.S. citizens. It's just stupid politics attempting to deal with a current problem, on a whole the United States is fairly good with non-citizens.
Oh and even though im a right wing kinda guy, the patriot act was a travesty.
Politicians need to stop doing things the constitution tells them they cant do just because theyre in power
