Artful Dodger: Look up where Saint Ronny was at this point in time in his first term as President,Clinton also.While I am not overly impressed with Obama so far, he could easily improve by leaps and bounds in the opinion polls

For Americans:
Canadians do not have the degree of freedom of speech as persons in the United States enjoy. Legislation in Canada follows the British tradition, as do laws in Australia, New Zealand and some other former colonies. In particular, with a few exceptions, citizens are not allowed to incite or promote hatred, or advocate or promote genocide against certain specified groups

(V): The problem I have with laws against racism, and anti semetism is, it doesn't change minds, it just pushes them underground, where they fester.

I am Weasel: ok to be racist? I think that depends on ones opinion, I personally don't find it ok.Certain words did take awhile to be deemed politically incorrect though.

Subject: This reminds me of The Canadian reform party, when they cleaned up their image
"We, in the last 24 hours, have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation."

I am Weasel: Thanks for your opinion,.......racism is a fact of life,it exists everywhere.Is The Tea Party a racist organisation?
Not in my opinion
Does it attract more than its fair share of racists?
I think it does, but some folks probably only joined cuz they don't like Obama cuz he's black

Tuesday: In the medical world, the well being of the mother is the main concern when considering a medical procedure.That can be argued, but it is the accepted order of priority.We could not be further apart in our opinions on this topic, so yeah, we're still in "agree to disagree" country

Tuesday: I don't agree with selective abortion.The decision should never be based on the child either being a future genius, or seriel killer........actually, one could quite easily be both, but you get my drift

(V): Well,that's where Obama loses me, if he had no intention of dealing with issues such as lobbying, he should have kept his mouth shut on the campaign trail.He has actually broadened the ability for major corporations to spend on campaigns, not limited them

(V): Ending lobbying would go a long way towards putting the power back with the people who elect.Obama has not been helpful in this regard
