[Psycho4Bud]

Hmm? I'm not saying that at all! I may disagree with you on a lot of opinions, but I know an intelligent opponent when I see one and I know you're not getting your opinions from anywhere but your own reasoning.

It was implied by the poster that I recently responded to. Nothing on you sir wizard.:thumbsup:

Ouch! So does it state then, literally, that any abortion is commiting murder? I couldn't be more against that.

Legally, the Indians didn't have a nation since there were hundreds of non-unified tribes. They had their territory, but nobody had claim over the entire America's. Not to say the colonialist bullshit is justified, they were terrible to the natives! But I'm not aware of anywhere in the constitution justifying these actions.
Where does it say? Honestly I'm not sure, but I was under the impression that it has a "no-nation building" clause or some sort. I could be wrong, wish I had time to read the constitution in its entirety.

There is no clause like that....remember "manifest destinty"?

Don't know, maybe he doesn't see the point knowing it won't be passed, maybe he didn't want to lose his possition as congressman. Being president and leader of the republican party really is the only way one could have the power to push that through.

He knows that MANY of his bills are dead in the water but still submits them..........

Do you have a link to some info on this shrimp-industry project? I want to take a look before passing judgement.

LOL...Check out number 1 on the list......I thought he was against big brother creating a data base..........

1. $25,000 for the Brazoria County Sheriff to establish a â??Childrenâ??s Identification and Location Database.â?�

2. $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp.

3. $2.3 million for shrimp fishing research.

7. $4.5 million to study the effects of the health risks of vanadium.

8. $3 million to test imported shrimp for antibiotics. (Does anyone think there is a big shrimp industry in Paulâ??s district?)
Classically Liberal: Ron Paul's personal pork projects.

The Wall Street Journal reports Paul's office says those requests include $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp and $2.3 million to pay for research into shrimp fishing.

A spokesman says, "Reducing earmarks does not reduce government spending, and it does not prohibit spending upon those things that are earmarked. What people who push earmark reform are doing is they are particularly misleading the public â?? and I have to presume it's not by accident."
