   Isn't it nice in this day of the "Patriot Act" taking away patriots rights that the average American might still have one or two rights left. Of course, if the Administration has its way it won't last for long.

   no

   This can't continue. We need to elect McCain immediately so that he can make sure that anonymous posters aren't allowed, and that the sites can be held responsible for the actions of their commenters.
   
   (what? he proposed that in a bill a year ago)

   I'm trying to figure out whether #2 is really serious or just a troll...

   Consider what Obama would do:
   
   Take your money and give it to someone else.
   Tell businesses what to produce and sell, who to hire and what wages to pay.
   Set all commodity, wholesale and retail prices.
   Control all energy supplies.
   Control all communication networks and financial markets.
   Replace all private health care with a government system.
   Prescribe the curriculum for all schools
   Determine which students get a slot in elite universities.
   Diminish political and other speech.
   Enroll all citizens above the age of 17 either in the military or in civilian corps for periodic instruction and service
   Children could be required to spend the summer in government "youth" camps.

   Everything is wrong...

   Citizens shouldn't fear their government, governments should fear their citizens.
   
   But as more and more of our freedoms and protections are stripped away in the name of fear, it's only a matter of time before we become a police state ruled by the corporations who feed the coffers of the political elite.
   
   Hail Bush! Hail Bush!
   
   Kneel to McCain! Kneel to McCain!

   Re:

   Most of that has been done already... Taxes, affirmative action and non-discrimination acts, federal curriculum guidelines, selective service registration...
   
   Please cite your sources for the price-setting, market control, university slots, diminished speech, and youth camps. This is something I'd like to know about, if it's true.

   Re: not a troll

   That is more a problem with the legislative system then reflective of McCain's views. As is the norm in Washington, bills have so much in them that voting against them is voting against saving kittens but voting for them is voting to kill puppies.
   
   disclaimer: I am an independent, still undecided, and have no proof that my speculation is correct.

    Try LISTENING to Obama instead being taken in by the cult of celebrity.
    
    Wake up and smell the Socialism

    No sources, then, huh? I'm filing your comments in the round filing bin along with the cracks about McCain's daughter from Bangledesh. (For those not in the know, nasty rumors abounded that she was really his illegitamite daughter by a black woman, as opposed to an adoptee.)
