@ Patrick henry / Oh yea , well if you are going camping i see an excuse to carry a gun. if your hunting on your camping trip, But what i am talking about if just going to the park in my local quiet suburban neighborhood, also now i have to worry about my child who goes to our quiet local suburban neighborhood park to play sports, This is what i am taking a stand against. My freedom to enjoy a nice quiet walk in the park w/out being in between a gun fight or being a witiness to a shooting.
This direction would of never happened under George Bush and he was more of a conservative gun rights person then Barack Obama. This is so upsetting, Oh yea, Patrickhenry I will be turning this around (there will not be any federal law to allow loaded consealed guns in open parks), unless there is a firing range within the park. The freedoms of the majority of Americans is being violated by the passing of this law.

Can you believe now we have to tend with this bill that allows persons unknown to us to carry guns in the parks where we are w/ our families play w/ our children and w/ our pets. This is crazy the reason being that the credit card bill is so important that in order to get it passed we the people who dont carry guns, and would rather not be around guns, have to trust any Tom, Dick or Harry….And we already know we cant trust Dick, but yet he still has a gun.and will be allowed to carry it into the park. We will lose the West it is not how the West was won. The west was won when the guns were taken from the people and gun laws were created and inforced, before the guns were rightfully returned. No, i dont want the Government State or Federal to be the only ones with Guns I respect the rights for thoses who find it very important to have a gun. But so must they respect my feelings and my bretherns feeling. Before we turn into another Middle East, Where there is violence and killing all around. If we dont show some strenght on this issue. Do not turn back the laws that were put in place to protect all peoples liberities and freedoms. Least there be a killing spree in our own back yards. Please stand w/ me on this and ban this permit to allow concealed weapons in our parks.

IT TAKES A DICK!!CHENEY!! TO WANT TO LEAD AMERICA BACK INTO THE DIRECTION WE AND THE WORLD WERE ONCE ALREADY HEADED IN!

We were already headed in that direction and we voted to turn from it. We voted to turn unto a NEW direction. We the people who overcame the direction that Dick, and John !!McCain!! wanted us to travel (WE SAY NO) NO to ur Wars, NO to your solutions 4 the ecomony, and NO to the gates of H*E*LL****where Bin Laden waits also for u. And your man, was John McCain who wanted to lead the people of America down the path to such a future as H*E*LL**** that. and Dick, what did we say YES to? President Barack H.Obama, That’s why he is who he is today, We trust his leadership to bring us back into the light of day, and away from our darkest hours. Your leadership leaves so many people all across the world and in America (The United States of America) afraid to live Peacefully , free and happy for fear that there will be trespass against him. And as you laugh and click elbows with Hateful Hannity know this hurts u more than it helps u. And as for Gitmo, Look unto Iraq, Afganistan, pakistan,Iran, Egyt,Israel
Look unto to the people of the communities for those who defend the people of the MIDDLE EAST rights to live Free and in peace, happy have Hope for better generations , Employ them.

One might suggest that we re purpose Gitmo to house our war criminals.
Show of hands, how many would like to interrogate Cheney?
Second show of hands, how many would use enhanced interrogation? 
Meditation for the day, if Cheney were locked in a room of mirrors would that be punishment or heaven for him?

Cheney is a War Criminal and should be tried for Crimes Against Humanity.

Once Gitmo is closed let us do something really interesting and gove the land back to Cuba, but please lets tear down the evil empire prison before we leave, no sense in giving a thug a loaded weapon.

Remember we don’t coal ships anymore and that means Gitmo isn’t vital to us as much as it is an irritant to the Cuban People and gives Castro a lot of negative facts to use against us.

It is so obvious that cheney is covering his rotten ass with these diatribes against the sitting President, with fear mongering. If he was so alert then, why did we get attacked in the first place? Obama is trying hard to repair the havoc caused by the evil and dumb bush and his criminal gang. And Obama is doing it with dignity and statesmanship, qualities the previous regime scoffed at because of their ignorance, stupididy and bullying ways.

I doubt that we would be having this debate, especially in this “match up” format four months ago. But this is what triangulation on the issues by Obama have gotten us. This is what happens when you surround yourself with Bush officials. Do you really think that Blair, Petreus, Odierno, the Susan Rices and the rest of them disagree with Cheney?

And consider the senators and others who are controlled by AIPAC. That would have been enough to battle without keeping the actual people that created these and furthered these policies. I see very few legislators defending Obama now. And the left is silent and has to be, because of his stand (or lack of) on human rights

So now we are left with the president publicly defending the positions that got him elected, on television, with a war criminal. Nice going Obama. Just like Pelosi, all we can do is watch the political accident in slow motion.

Some things are now very clear… Its clear that we need extensive hearings and warrants. We need disclosure of photos, which will tell us whether the torture was casual and indiscriminate. We need disclosure of memos and all other relevant material.

And, for whoever may want to ponder this…  I want to mention that a great deal of Cheney and the torturers’ rhetoric is based upon 911. 911 is the rock it is built upon. But we have been prohibited from examining those events more closely, over and over again. By unilaterally accepting the administration’s account of what happened, even in the light of serious inconsistencies, we all helped form the current paranoid viewpoint that permeates the fear society we live in. I believe we are paying a price for our lack of will to investigate those events further.  The left-ist gatekeepers assisted with this as well . So now we are dealing with what may be a “fantasy world of fear”, that we cannot break out of, or even ask questions, or be allowed to see evidence about.

I also wonder about the sheer laziness with which Obama asked for the funding to close Gitmo. Its almost as if it was incompetence on purpose it was so completely negligent and naive. Thanks a lot, thats all we needed. If you don’t really think enough about these new policies to do the proper homework, that’s one thing. But this incompetent attitude seems bent on sabotaging all the work that is being done, and will continue to be done, by the left, and human rights groups, to end this immoral situation and all of its other programs like rendition, drones, and so on… What now, Obama? More triangulating?

It is disgusting to see the media milk these two press conferences as if they were an Olympic duel. CNBC went so far that during Obama’s speech they were comparing quotes of Cheney with quotes of Obama, so that they and the viewer could keep score. The mainstream media is as sick as Cheney is ‘mental. The media is not really interested in what in discussing what is important for this country, they, the producers, directors and the talking heads themselves are only interested in ‘fights’ and self promotion. These networks have absolutely no intention to improve this country. They will do anything to draw attention to themselves and are willing to throw fuel on even the tiniest spark to create and increase a fire.Their only goal more self promotion. It is the main stream media with the help of political arrogance and ignorance who are dumbing down America.
The economic, financial, health, educational etc. disasters we face right now, is for a great part due to them, as nobody did their home work, researched and asked the right questions. The main stream media has an important job to inform, by they lost the reason why they choose that profession, instead they behaved like WallStreet and went for the big bucks, greed and help to bring this country under.
