AL Qaida doesn't need to buy guns in America. Obama armed them in Syria. FACT
The no fly list is secret and very sloppy. Using this list for gun purchases would infringe on the rights of innocent people. Graham wrote this below.
think anyone who's on the terrorist watch list should not lose their Second Amendment right without the ability to challenge that determination," says Graham, noting that the late Sen. Ted Kennedy showed up on the no-fly list in 2004 because a suspected terrorist was using the alias Edward Kennedy.
Social Security and Medicare are in trouble financially. Seniors aren't stupid. They know who tried to address a serious issue and who played politics. They understand Ryan attempted to offer a fix to the problem. I wouldn't pay much attention to The Atlantic.

Yep, I should have been suspicious when I appauded you for being a smart Republican and then you go and make a post like these without any crediable resources. Oh well, whatever.
Nope, McCain wanted Obama to arm the Syrian rebels and he refused because he didn't want the weapons getting into the wrong hands. Besides, Syria finished destroying their chemical weapons on October 31, 2013, that according to "The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons". You see, the President believes that the $4 trillion that we are paying for Bush's wars would be better spent in our own country.
Seriously, what does the right really care about anyone's rights? Oh yes, the 2nd, the right to bear arms, what about the right to privacy? The 4th Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government -- does it not?
Not in Texas, when Perry's "shirtless thugs" stopped women for throwing out cigarettes when they weren't even smoking, now that is very suspicious stop. Then when the troopers pulled them over they claimed they smelled marijuana and that was enough for a "cavity search", on the side of the road, vagina and rectum without a change of rubbler gloves.

Next up! Albuquerque, NM where a man was stopped for not making a complete stop at a "STOP" sign. When the man stepped out of his car the policeman claimed he was clinching his butt cheeks. And that was enough to take David Eckert to a hospital for a full investigation. The first hospital declined saying it was "unethical", but that didn't stop the Albuquerque police, they just took him to Gila Hospital and this is what they did to the man without his consent.

So, don't EVER, EVER, EVER, say criminals or terrorist should not lose their "right to bear arms" when innocent people are losing their right to keep their bodies private. Maybe those people should have been armed and shot the law enforcement officers because they were threatening their constitutional rights. Yeah, right, they would have gone to prison for life even in the "Stand Your Ground" states. The "SYG" law does have it's limits.
Just about every GOP state has rigged the courts to vote in their favor, and I doubt that these people will ever get justice without a "firey defense".
One officer was relieved of his duties only to be re-instated. And he is most likely out doing the same thing. So you better be on your best behavior when driving around in a GOP controlled state.
Seniors would really would be stupid if the voted for turning Medicare into a voucher program. That would send 80 and 90 year olds out in search for an individual insurance policy that would cost them anywhere from $2 thousand to $4 thousand more a year. Be serious now, the right is for the big insurance companies, big oil, big corporations getting richer even off of the backs of ailing seniors.
Social Security has absolutely nothing to do with the deficit, it is in the "Social Security Fund". You should be very familiar with it because it is the "pot of gold" that Republican presidents take money from to pay for the tax cuts for the rich. Reagan took $2.5 trillion from the fund with the help of Alan Greenspan. George W. Bush took $1.5 trillion, and when someone asked him how much was left he replied "Nothing but I.O.U's".
