You'll find that unless they change the constitution, the Democrats cannot redefine what is and isn't offensive. There is a reason why the Judiciary has independence from the President and Congress. Somehow I can't see them changing the constitution anytime soon for the sake of someones feelings.
It was Bush and the Republicans who enacted the Patriot act whereby your simple speech is monitored and can get you labelled an enemy combatant and shipped off to Gitmo. Not the Democrats.
So Republicans wanna dictate what consenting adults can do. Even to benign things such as a civil union? Pot? Kettle? Black?
Taxes could always be lower. It is responsible spending that allows one to lower taxes...I'm sure the Democrats will be able to lower taxes a little once Republican George's massive military expenditures have been paid for.
SInce when have personal hand guns been used (or even bought to be used) against terrorists? Or even the government? Neither. Their constitutional protection is no longer valid because the reason for which this right was granted is no longer relevant.
Abortion is something that Obama has no control over. It is a matter of constitutional rights and protections and as such is decided by the independent Legislature. So the Democrats "thinking" on abortion is of no actual consequence.
Ever considered that it is the very presence of the US military that is provoking the continued violence in Iraq? Obama has. McCain hasn't.
Weather forecasting is not the same as long-term environmental predictions. Warmer seas are proven to increase the intensity and destruction of hurricanes. Scientists do not claim that changes do not ordinarily occur in the environment over millenia, but rather they make a very strong case that such changes can be ACCELERATED by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The earth cools and heats naturally, but the scientific evidence points to greenhouse gas emissions accelerating this cycle to a point where it could have massive consequences for everyone. But you can just keep ignoring that if you want.
Oil companies are big and ugly enough to fight their own battles. I'm sur they have bought and sold enough (Republican) politicians and presidents to have a bit of cumuppance on the way. They are not purely competitive businesses and are able to collude to artificially increase prices so that consumers pay more, and more, and more, and more...There is defence for a monopoly business. It is at the mercy of the state. Always. Please find a large monopoly industry or business in the world that is not heavily regulated or monitored by the state(s). There are none. Because at the end of the day business is there to serve the people not the other way around.
