MY LIFE 2
When I was 10,
I thought I was "Irish,"
even though I was
born in the USA.
When I was 20,
I thought I was "Black,"
even though my skin
is pink & freckled,
my hair is straight,
and I have no
African ancestry.
When I was 30,
I thought I was "queer,"
even though I was
married and had
two children, and
most of my fantasies
& obsessions & com-
pulsions & attractions
were and had always
been (up until then)
about women.
When I was 40,
I thought I was a
"movie star," even
though the movies
were terrible, and
I was terrible in
them, and almost
no one knew them,
or who I might
have been in them.
When I was 50,
I thought I was
"enlightened," even
though I wasn't.
But of course I was
and am—enlightened,
as I was and still am
—an Irish-Black-
Queer-Movie-Star.

Obama was a Constitutional professor who did and does not seem to understand the implications of Marbary v. Madison.
Robert, Your comments are a perfect example of how liberal(like your self) politicians are a threat to the foundations of our Republic, that has lasted longer than any other and contributed untold wealth and opportunity. Liberals want the government to guarantee good outcomes as they see it, which has never worked. Europe is good present day example. Conservatives work to provide opportunity and maximized the private sector, which has proven to work
Thus where we are today, thanks to the private sector, hedge fund managers run rampant, exploitation of global workers at the expense of working class America, etc etc. You are delusional and have no connection with "of the people, by the people, FOR the people."
stop rooting around in the past and your unrealistic interpretation of if. Just as elderly, enfeebled people with glaucoma, cataracts etc. should be routinely tested for competency and should not be allowed to drive, so too should these glaucoma brained obviously prejudiced justices be routinely tested and removed from office when they cannot live up to their sworn oaths of obligation and are clearly acting pre-judicially.

Once again, the NRA and the Gunopoly show their true colors and hypocrisy - not caring about life and general well being, and ignoring/denying actual proven fact.
Thanks for the link Robert, as always. The gun lobby is like all classic bullies, only in this case an entire society, ours, is the victim.
