but I think a more apt thing is this...

If someone at his home had something that was given to them, even if it was legally bought, from someone else, his house was raided, everything confiscated by some military then his house burned down while he can only watch in horror...

Ron Paul was the most moderate of all of the R candidates last election...

Bets that Democrats registered as R's and voted for Romney?

And don't forget that many R's register as Dems to vote for the man/woman least likely to win against their candidate at times.

You basically have a situation where both sides are sabotaging each other just to get a few points and screw the country over.

Moderates can't win because of that situation.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/10391523084/vp-joe-biden-believes-theres-no-legal-reason-government-cant-slap-sin-tax-violent-media.shtml#c344 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:53:29 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/10391523084/vp-joe-biden-believes-theres-no-legal-reason-government-cant-slap-sin-tax-violent-media.shtml#c344

I call bullshit on that.

While you might have been inclined towards the opposite gender at that age, you didn't know that you were straight until you were at least 12-15...

You know, about the age people hit puberty.

Human sexuality doesn't develop the way you think it does.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130508/10233423003/bug-allows-same-sex-marriage-nintendo-game-nintendo-releases-patch-to-fix-it.shtml#c3275 Wed, 15 May 2013 16:42:18 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130508/10233423003/bug-allows-same-sex-marriage-nintendo-game-nintendo-releases-patch-to-fix-it.shtml#c3275
It's called homoSEXUALITY for a reason.

Doesn't seem to be with that one...

How about this one?

It's sexual attraction, nothing more, nothing less.

He's just using what you said.

Weren't those all big movements? Weren't those movements suffering from some sort of bigotry?

History isn't on the side of people who are anti-gay lifestyles.

For the record, I don't freaking care if two guys or two girls or a 3-some with 2 guys are happening anywhere in the world. It's not my place to know nor care. All I say is "keep it in the bedroom".]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/17194923087/what-national-security-risk-evidence-suggests-embarassment-drove-doj-spying-ap-phone-records.shtml#c5 Wed, 15 May 2013 09:35:00 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/17194923087/what-national-security-risk-evidence-suggests-embarassment-drove-doj-spying-ap-phone-records.shtml#c5 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/15163123086/did-paul-duffys-wife-admit-that-duffy-was-engaged-interstate-extortion-facebook.shtml#c45 Wed, 15 May 2013 06:59:11 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/15163123086/did-paul-duffys-wife-admit-that-duffy-was-engaged-interstate-extortion-facebook.shtml#c45 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/20283923089/canadian-anti-infringement-enforcement-company-caught-using-infringing-photos-its-website.shtml#c187 Wed, 15 May 2013 06:17:02 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/20283923089/canadian-anti-infringement-enforcement-company-caught-using-infringing-photos-its-website.shtml#c187 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/20283923089/canadian-anti-infringement-enforcement-company-caught-using-infringing-photos-its-website.shtml#c165 Wed, 15 May 2013 06:16:06 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130514/20283923089/canadian-anti-infringement-enforcement-company-caught-using-infringing-photos-its-website.shtml#c165 It's over 9000"

Got off the gold standard, got us out of Vietnam (though he did some stupid crap along the way with that), opened up relations with China, started the EPA, ended the draft...

And lots more.

Seriously, if you look at what he managed to accomplish in 5-6 years, it was a LOT more than most Presidents have ever done.

Criminal he might have been, but Nixon was actually a good President when he was doing his job.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130512/20494523050/bakersfield-ca-law-enforcement-follow-up-beating-possibly-intoxicated-man-to-death-seizing-witnesses-cell-phones.shtml#c555 Mon, 13 May 2013 13:23:23 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130512/20494523050/bakersfield-ca-law-enforcement-follow-up-beating-possibly-intoxicated-man-to-death-seizing-witnesses-cell-phones.shtml#c555
