Sandi, I have neither the time nor desire to dig up that thread where you gave a laundry list of public places people should not be allowed to carry. You’ve expressed disgust with concealed carry and have said I’m an “angry time bomb” and shouldn’t able to be carrying without your knowledge by carrying concealed. You can’t back up and claim that you honor our rights now both in your tolerance and in word. Your record does not demonstrate such.

John Wilburn you know that is not true. I have not “repeatedly said that people ought not be able to carry guns in public”. I have repeatedly said I do not like or embrace your right to carry a gun wherever you happen to be, yet I am not able to take away your right based on my own feelings or opinion. Yet no one seems to have any such compunction on gay rights.

#30 most ill-informed posted, “Solyndra started as a company during Bush? He’s not the one that gave them a $527 million loan.”

I have corrected this lie you continue to spread at least twice before – you are a verrrry verrrry sllooww learner…
FACT:
It’s often claimed that the Solyndra loan guarantee was “rushed through” by the Obama Administration for political reasons. In fact, the Solyndra loan guarantee was a multi-year process that the Bush Administration launched in 2007. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2011/09/13/317594/timeline-bush-administration-solyndra-loan-guarantee/?mobile=nc

So who’s the “Manchurian Candidate?”

Romney’s China Investments — The Story Behind the Story

“In a press statement, Cutter said:

Now we know why Mitt Romney has been less than forthcoming about the details of his finances. Romney and his trustee claimed that he divested completely from Chinese-based companies. But today we learned that he continues to have a partnership interest worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in a Bain Capital fund that owns a Chinese video surveillance company. This revelation not only highlights Romney’s utter hypocrisy on China, but it also raises more questions about what his investments are and why he won’t reveal all of them.”

“…The Romney trusts also reportedly owned stock in other CCP/PLA-connected companies, such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Life Insurance, China Northshore Oil and China Merchants Holdings, and the China Fire and Security Group. There are also the similarly troubling Romney investments in Gazprom, the Russian state-owned company directed by Putin and his KGB-FSB mafiya cronies, and the Bain investments in Iran, through French banking giant BNP Paribas.”

Dan, you’re referring to what Missouri recently did, aren’t you? I think I’d rather not see anti CHP discrimination legislation. Perhaps it could be okay for government hiring. The gun carriers and gay people are both making progress representing themselves as good examples and influencing public opinion. Why muddy things up with more government?

Alcoholics have the same rights as everyone else too, obviously. What the heck does that have to do with same sex marriage?

The appropriate analogy you should use for “gay rights” is your own rights. They’re the same, or should be.

John Wilburn,

Do you believe in legislation prohibiting discrimination against people who have concealed carry permits?

“Do you gun advocates treat any “anti” who DARES to offer a different view with respect and “tolerance”? I think we know better!”

“Let me give you a real world example: I do not like or embrace your right to carry a gun wherever you happen to be, yet I do not have the right to discriminate and say you cannot.”

You’ve repeatedly said that people ought not be able to carry guns in public. You have no real tolerance of the bearing of arms. Total Hypocrite.

Sharon, that alcoholic comparison is going to get you some heat. I’d say gay people should have no more rights that you, I, Dan Casey, or Ron Livingston from Office Space….. which I’m watching right now. One of the funniest movies ever.

#48 Sharon N,

“….No one is going to convince me that the LGBT crowd is entitiled to any more “rights” or “privledges” or anymore of a “voice” than, as an example, an Alcoholic has. I just feel they need to be “treated the same”..”

No, no, no, you got it all wrong; the gays usually have far better grammar than you, and are therefore accorded more “rights” and “privledges“ (sp) than you are “entitiled” (sp) to. If you want to be treated the same, kindly take a moment to consider that introductory composition class at VWCC that I mentioned the other day. Alcoholics are one thing. A problem, yes, but a class of people that, like the gay, can be woven into the fabric of our country; illiterates are clearly another case altogether.
