How does this happen? Chick-fil-A branded as anti-gay?

[giblets]

I don't see why it matters either, but someone thought it was worth $25,000.

That worked sooooo well with the Libya, Iraq, North Korea, etc.

You mean with making Iraq and Libya destroy their WMD stocks for instance?

Oh and DinoDoc, if you want the opinion of a genuine conservative leader on the subject..

To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.

[regexcellent]

The thing is that jaw-jaw only works under the threat of war-war, or some other meaningful consequence. People laugh at the UN because all it does is issue sternly worded declarations. There's no force behind it (nor should there be in a body like the UN, but that's a different matter).

Personally I would love for the supreme's to rule that the war on drugs/etc is unconstitutional due to being discriminatory...

JM

And I would love for the constitution to be more than so much toilet paper...but you would rather have a group of 9 unelected people just rule on things, hoping that they always agree with you. Face it, this sort of attitude is basically just saying "I want an enlightened dictatorship" in so many words.

About the only country who laugh at the UN are the US, because you're too ****ing arrogant to consider that the opinions of the 95% of the world might actually matter.

Really? Maybe he just wants what the 14th amendment promises: equal protection of the laws.

Libya came clean after we started beating up Iraq, so the sword was mightier than the pen. Iraq blocked inspectors and otherwise acted guilty; if they don't demonstrate cooperation, disarmament never happened.

Drug laws don't violate that. Liberals need to stop pretending that each and every one of their pet grievances is unconstitutional based on 14th amendment ass pulls.

I can't believe you just called the constitution toilet paper.

[Hauldren Collider]

To quote Jaguar, yes, that's exactly what I said.

[DaShi]

Don't be so desperate HC. You're position doesn't require much more thought.

Tutting on an issue without a credible stick only serves as moral masturbation to make ourselves feel better but does little to actually change things.

[kentonio]

You remind me of a kid who thinks the only way to resolve a dispute is to punch someone.

I thought DD was more a "I walk on by, because it doesn't affect me".
