I want a debate on product liability for gun manuf

I don't believe in discrimination period. As I've said often the only thing those trannys what to do is get in and out without worrying about some shit-kicker beating them up.
And clearly we have more to worry about from the locker room shenanigans of the Hasterts and Sanduskys
I have no problem with a common core of readin' writin', rithmitic' standards that at LEAST prepares them to learn more, and more effectively.
WTF, I remember standardized grammar school tests that helped me prep for HS, and then ACT's for college. National, common core testing. What's YOUR problem? Afraid of a shortage of dumb-asses to vote GOP?!
You problem with Michelle's wanting kids to eat smarter and get up and move around is YOUR problem. There was no federal bill or mandate to do anything. Did you object to Laura Bush's literacy initiatives? Save for her hubby, they probably helped a lot of people!
Citizens United was a disastrous decision. A Dem president has no less prerogative on SCOTUS appointments than does a GOP pres.
it's only your blind ideology that claims otherwise.
As for demonizing and who started it? You'd make a really sh*tty prosecutor. You ask questions that you really don't know the answers to. You THiNK you do, but you really don't.

Below is the list of negative words Newt proposed be used by potential candidates against their opponents: It is from Newt Gingrich’s 1996 GOPAC memo.
I remember reading a nearly identical list of negative words in one of his books and wondered why he would broadcast his strategy that then could so easily be boomeranged back on him by his opposition.
It’s odd now, all these years later, his language has not matured over these last 16 years, for many of these same negatives he touted years ago, still appear in his weakest protestations and condemnations.
And too, many of these words from his very own list of things to call others… are used against him now: disgraced, lie, bizarre moods, corrupt, self-serving.
I just think of Old Laertes in Greek mythos who was wise enough to know when to put up his sword, for he was so out of shape he could no longer keep up. He was instead filled with blather about what he did, what he thought, how things should be. But, he never listened to what others did, thought, wanted. Therefore, he forfeited being a true leader.
So, instead he then sat by the fire telling whatever young men would listen about all his carefully inflated adventures when he’d once been in his prime– and in his narratives, it was always himself and no one else, who played the hero.
For people who have no new, consistent, reliable ideas, who are past prime of aspiring to be a great leader but failed because of putting oneself before all others (except dead heroes), It seems a good way to go: stop trying to keep up, go sit by the fire, be at peace in harmless blather about oneself, one’s creaky ideas, one’s outmoded strategies. Above all, do not become a caricature of ‘Horatio Hornblower.’
The day comes for all of us to go into the freeze of winter and melt into the sun.
Here are Newt’s words…
“Often we search hard for words to define our opponents. Sometimes we are hesitant to use contrast. Remember that creating a difference helps you. These are powerful words that can create a clear and easily understood contrast. Apply these to the opponent, their record, proposals and their party.
