    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    It may be implicit, but it's not explicit, and there's a huge difference between the two, both in legal terms and practical terms. Implicit allows for interpretative inferences, explicit does not. The link you supplied doesn't show a Constitutionally guaranteed the right to vote, it merely...

    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    I never said it was a privilege. A privilege is something that can be taken away for any reason, or even no reason at all. I'm merely stating that there is no Constitutionally guaranteed right to vote. Read Post #24 again. It's still true. The 19th Amendment doesn't guarantee someone the right...

    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    Well, OK, but then so does your argument, you're simply arguing for a different place and time for the licensing. You'll still have to show ID to get that scanning card or something. Except, of course, voting is not a right, despite the popular belief. I don't know about easy or convenient, or...

    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    Your business isn't the State's business, as long as you don't want to do business with the State. You can say STOP signs aren't red, because you don't want them to be, but it won't change the fact that STOP signs are, in reality, red.

    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    One of the important key words of the 4th Amendment is "unreasonable". It's unreasonable for the state to walk up to you on the street and ask for your ID. It's not unreasonable to ask for your ID under conditions which are perfectly reasonable, like to confirm you are who you say you are when...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    Well, it wasn't meant to be all-inclusive of what the JBS is now, or has ever has stood for since its inception in 1958. It was meant to cite the ideas they and Paul have in common, as a means of illustrating why he would associate with such a group. I agree with some of Paul's ideas, but not...

    The John Birch Society? OMG! You mean those wackos who stand for an originalist, Founding Fathers-type of interpretation of the US Constitution by supporting a Constitutional Republic, of limiting the powers of government, advocating strong State's Rights, and advocating personal liberty and...

    Non-FedEx Moderators Posting in the FedEx Forum

    So are you saying that I didn't make a horrendous posting mistake? That I thought I didn't, was told I did, then was told I didn't, and now I don't know what to think? And also, since whoever moved the thread has yet to come forth and claim responsibility, does that mean we have a terrorist...

    Another Obama gaffe.

    Thank you. I Googled it to be sure.

    Landstar disappears

    Contractors, both owners and drivers for owners, are eligible for Panther's 19% carrier discount at Verizon. Buried somewhere on Panther Web site is information about the discount. There is (or at least was) a URL that must to be copied and pasted into a Web browser that took you to the Verizon...

    Another Obama gaffe.

    And instantly, the Web is awash with Rutherford B. Hayes experts. If you didn't know better, you'd now be believing that Hayes was such a technogeek that he had an iPad on his desk and an iPod in his pocket. Ironically, the presidential precedent for telling the same bogus Hayes story was set...

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    I'm not really sure why one would think that, considering his job was to represent his Congressional District, to represent the people in that district. By all accounts, considering how many times he was reelected, he did a pretty good job. Using your logic with that last question, Barack...

    Except for that little red blotch on the map just around Louisville, pretty much the whole state is Blue. Waaaay down here in the western part of the state (where contrary to popular belief in Frankfort, most of us do actually wear shoes on occasion, although far too many have regular overalls...

    Hooking up a CB in a sprinter

    I think it's definitely worth it. It's a tool of the trade. I'm not very chatty on it, don't really care which coops are open or where the bears are, but it is important to know who ain't got no panties on. It may also be just as important to know which of the large, burley, hairy truck driver...

    Non-FedEx Moderators Posting in the FedEx Forum

    It was a mistake (on my part, at least), Phil. Sorry. It's not a routine happening. The OP posted several related threads in a very short time frame, and I view the forums by "new posts". I failed to note that one of them was started in the FECC forum and made the horrendous mistake of replying...

    Read his other posts (in the other threads he's started), Dennis. You'll see where he's coming from and what he's trying to get from here.

    You're rooting against a team from Kentucky?!?! I'm aghast! Shocked! Outraged! I crack myself up. Louisville won today, as did the team entering the tournament with the nation's best record. So it appears that one of the "Kentucky Four" will be sent home tonight.

    Ron Paul wins Virgin Islands with 29%...

    Paul has already had a great deal of influence on the GOP. Santorum, Romney and even Newt have all taken several of Paul's ideas and championed them as their own. The only difference is, when Paul says "smaller government and less spending", for example, he really means it. None of the others...

    March Banter and Location

    Should have come by the house. OK, not that close, but it's pretty close. Got most everything done that I wanted to do. Replaced the headlamp. There was a high pitched squeal, wasn't sure if it was bearings or the belt. Took a close look and the belt was walking a little bit, and at engine off...
