Ok, you conservative soul. Do you even believe in global warming? Loosen that necktie a little, and try some organic food. It actually does taste better. And go to a farmer's market--they're fun. For the record, I don't believe in man-made global warming, will sometimes shop at farmers markets, and always prefer natural ingredients to processed. But the term "organic" is just a marketing ploy to rip off hippies. Apperantly their strict diets of nuts and berries is effectiong the minds of these hippy wackos cuasing their walnut brains to shrink even smaller PEA-SIZED?
Are you a hippie?

So four of nine Supreme Court Justices think that the Bill of Rights is optional. Letting you know how they feel about the victory for gun rights, the Washington Post headline says "Supreme Court extends gun rights nationwide" instead of "affirms", "protects", or "guarantees".The Supreme Court held Monday that the Constitution's Second Amendment restrains government's ability to significantly limit "the right to keep and bear arms," advancing a recent trend by the John Roberts-led bench to embrace gun rights.
By a narrow, 5-4 vote, the justices also signaled, however, that some limitations on the right could survive legal challenges.
Writing for the court in a case involving restrictive laws in Chicago and one of its suburbs, Justice Samuel Alito said that the Second Amendment right "applies equally to the federal government and the states."
The court was split along familiar ideological lines, with five conservative-moderate justices in favor of gun rights and four liberals opposed. Chief Justice Roberts voted with the majority.
Apparently the narrow minded liberals who are too dumb to even read PETER RABBIT cant get past the first few words in the 2nd amendment like WELL REGULATED MALITIA thats as far as these dummies can read without their brains smoking and short curcutting

A Federal Judge in New York didn't like the outcome of recent elections, so he gave residents extra votes to make things more fair for Hispanics.Voters in Port Chester, 25 miles northeast of New York City, are electing village trustees for the first time since the federal government alleged in 2006 that the existing election system was unfair. The election ends Tuesday and results are expected late Tuesday night.
Although the village of about 30,000 residents is nearly half Hispanic, no Latino had ever been elected to any of the six trustee seats, which until now were chosen in a conventional at-large election. Most voters were white, and white candidates always won.
Federal Judge Stephen Robinson said that violated the Voting Rights Act, and he approved a remedy suggested by village officials: a system called cumulative voting, in which residents get six votes each to apportion as they wish among the candidates. He rejected a government proposal to break the village into six districts, including one that took in heavily Hispanic areas.The underlying premise here is inherently bigoted. Robinson's reasoning is that a fair system is segregated and not integrated. Apparently only Hispanics should represent Hispanics, and using Robinson's logic Hispanics themselves are so prejudiced that they would not deign to vote for white people.
Perhaps Robinson, a Bush appointee, should have recused himself from the case since he is presumably non-Hispanic and could not possibly rule in their best interests.
This post was updated to correct inaccuracies. Thanks to ParatrooperJJ for keeping us honest.
Your title is highly misleading, he instituted cumlative voting which gives six votes to EACH voter, not just to the hispanic ones.
::Posted by ParatrooperJJ at June 23, 2010 10:24 AMYou are right, I misread the article. I have corrected the headline and the post.
::Posted by Ravenwood at June 23, 2010 10:36 AMSince when did a bunch of unelected judges started making peoples decisions for them who gave these judges the athoraty to make such rulings?

Environmentalist wackos are upset because the Gulf Oil Spill is diverting attention away from Global Warming. Christopher Reddy even asks: "What if carbon dioxide were as black as oil?"But while we have readily and rightfully committed ourselves to understanding the cause of the spill, its effects and how to help restore the affected Gulf Coast region, we still can't seem to come to grips with a much more dangerous, far-reaching pollutant that is changing the fundamental chemistry of our entire planet: carbon dioxide.
You would have to be a complete moron to think that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and is "changing the fundamental chemistry of our entire planet."
CO2 is necessary for life, and without it we would all die. It is what plants breathe, what we exhale, and is fundamental for the world's ecosystem. If we eliminated or even severely reduced CO2 on earth, we wouldn't last 6 months. Plants would die, animals that eat plants would die, and we would die.
We learned that in elementary school, but Reddy must have had the chicken pox that day.
What a bunch of stupid mealy mouthed granola munching eco-freaks why dont they all get a life and quit being so rediculous
::Posted by Wildbird at August 3, 2010 1:57 AMAnd then there's this: It really was incredible how our community came together after "the flood" (as we like to call it). I live in one of the hardest hit areas of Nashville, Bellevue, and while we were extremely lucky to have only lost our power for 6 days, so many neighbors, who were lower, lost everything. My wife's sister who lives next to Opry Mills lost their home and have been staying with us since until they can repair their home. Like the video describes, there was no looting, no cries for external help, no intensified crime. It was an amazing experience to see communities staying home from work and school to help rip carpet and appliances out of strangers homes who were trying to rebuild. Caravans of volunteers (like my wife) drove to the hardest hit areas passing out cold water for people who had no water. Just a horrific ordeal that brought out so much good in people and it makes me proud to be a Nashvillian. We truly are the Volunteer State. Will the eco-wackos blame this on the residents of NASHVILLE for not honoring GAIA that these eco-wackos worship at their stupid earthday meetings?
Here is an interesting comparison of the number of news stories about each event. One is 24/7 news, the other got almost no coverage at all outside of the local news.
