Wow...you found facts to support your conervative opinions at the Heritage Foundation??!!! Shocker. They are a conservative think tank. They start with conervative conclusions and cherry pick facts to support them...this is not the way valid research or responsible journalism is performed. I think what Don meant with his "battlefield" reference...is that he want to get his facts from sources that are not openly biased. The Heritage foundation, much like the CATO and Brookings institutions, have a clear political agenda. If you want to get information that supports what you already believe...then continue to watch Fox News, read News Max, and post links to the Heritage Foundation. I recommend this site...unbiased and no political agenda...FactCheck.org is hard on both parties.

P.S. - Learn proper English grammar before you start bragging about proving anyone wrong. I don't think you proved Don wrong to anyone but yourself and the other talk radio trolls who already agree with you.

Bogus answers. You disprove my link with yours, not garbage you said. Like your barter idea. Easily disproven.
Well his spending ways are now TAX CUTS. Spending didn’t work. Which I certainly can prove:

Of course any link not agreeing with your politics is wrong. You get yours from the “battle field ” whatever that is. No problem, will work even harder on your comments.
Sure you will have excuse. You can't fool me or yourself.

I just want truth. Everything you have sent me could be looked at through different eye and interpreted according to who wrote the story. I prefer to get my facts from the battle field not from Some paid off media or INTERNET site, Sometimes I write from my headaches Sorry I am not a professional and proud of it because professionals are brainwashed into writing what there superiors think is professional and I have no superiors just equals, Black, white, red, Brown we are all equals according to the constitution of the united states, However in the world of big business and corporations you have superiors. We do not work as friendlies we compete with even our family. Even our health care have been rationed for years and people like me were experimented on by doctor practicing drug pushing.

I proved you wrong. You not man enough to own up to it you no man.
obama can't throw anybody into the slammer. ONLY COURTS CAN. Must be proved guilty first. You wrong on that to.

I am not so easily manipulated. Madoff sounded good to a lot of people to and he walked away with there money I realize there were all greedy and so was blind However anyone who supports a political party without question are also blind and learns how to tell half truths and even bend the truth.
What was Chenneys Company? any way they I hear are involved in the Golf disaster, no surprise to me.
My only surprise is That President Obama Haven't thrown those crooks in the slammer. President Obama is only the beginning of the big white house clean up, He cannot be expected to be perfect, However he will serve as some sort of model in the next few elections as we vote out anybody that has been in office more than ten years.

So Don on a grand scale “Barter” works ? Maybe on little island or small town.’ However:
“Barter Economy Avoids the Long Arm of the IRS … for Now.”

So Don when you said “Barter was rejected by The IRS because it was to hard to tax and reflected the worth the barterer put on the item therefore the price was not constant”, You were WRONG AGAIN.
Don proclaims:
“ Big business and corporations do not listen to the people are not required to and take jobs from America in support of other nations.”
Obama does that just fine:
“ Stimulus Jobs in China? Senators Angry About U.S. Money Going Overseas”

Obama is doing a fine job sending jobs overseas.
So many mistaken ideas disproved Don, hard to believe all you write. Few links to back your words.
For bad link:
“ObamaCare Is All About Rationing”
“Overspending is far preferable to artificially limiting the availability of new procedures and technologies.”

Peter Roff makes several gaffs in his article about the NRA and the DISCLOSE act.
First, not everyone in the NRA is a Republican, I can assure him. So when Roff says "Republicans are unfairly.." he is over generalizing.
Second, Roff calls criticism of the NRA for its behavior in the DISCLOSE debate "Unfair" - I say the NRA has been around the block enough times not to fall for such a division making ploy the House Dems have cooked up. All the criticism in my opinion is dead on the money.
Pursuing a "Carve out" was stupid and ill-considered, unless the NRA leadership seeks to become the single pro-firearms group with an actual voice and influence in beltway land.
DISCLOSE weakens the right that the Second Amendment is intended to most protect; the First Amendment. It is a blatant attempt by Congress to limit free speech by citizens who organize and band together around issues both liberal in nature and conservative.
With its 10 years / 50 states membership / 500,000 members requirements, it "sanctifies" existing groups even as it prevents rapid citizen organization and response to fast moving new issues.
It's as if we the people weren't allowed to read the bible or koran for ourselves anymore - that we had to patronize certain "carve-out" organizations US Congress approved, before we could address something that was troubling us.

The stories I hear of the past gives me an opinion that we were once civilized, Now it is about profit even at the risk of community health.
Barter was rejected by The IRS because it was to hard to tax and reflected the worth the barterer put on the item therefore the price was not constant, However I believe it was much fairer and gave the big business and corporations less power over the people.
Whoever balanced the budget that was reversed less than a year after bush/cheney took office. President Clinton did a crime against himself and his family and bush/chenney Did a Crime against the America.
Big Government is not nearly as scary to me as Big business and big Corporations whose only loyalties are to the bottom line, Big business and corporations do not listen to the people are not required to and take jobs from America in support of other nations.
Republicans are still trying to protect BP after the gulf disaster and BP is not even an American Company, However many Politicians have stock in BP and big oil. We need to get out of supplying those who do not support America with money and start thinking about our planet and our communities again. We need to once again become civilized and not be like Startreks Ferengi

And is trying its best to grab more power. Thank God for those people who actually JOIN the NRA to oppose those who would try to take away the power of the people. The power of the people exists only because the people have a way to defend themselves. The NRA mission is to defend that freedom in this country. Plain and simple. Corrupt government would deny us that freedom on its way to denying other rights such as free speech.
This particular incident is not over and the government will try some other way to grab more power over its conservative opponents (targeting conservative groups such as the Tea Party).
But it fears the steadfast groups such as the NRA. Even those people who are not on either side of the second amendment issue should support the NRA by joining the organization in order to demonstrate their support and add member numbers to a patriotic group which is large enough to to be a roadblock in the path of those who would deny the people a basic right.
