Here's something to consider: Is the initiative process even constitutional? Article 4, section 4, clause 1: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government". The authors were clearly terrified of direct democracy, and Washington's initiative process does subvert representative government to a degree. What do you think?
So the next time you sign an initiative petition I guess it's safe to say you're OK with, say, the NRA or some anti-tax group calling you at home or paying you a personal visit? Glad you're not outraged about this.
BTW: Thanks for demonstrating that you don't know anything about R-71, yet feel compelled to spew your bile--facts notwithstanding. Support for R-71 = support for WA's domestic partnership law. Comprende?
While I generally support R71, I'm outraged that certain gay-rights groups are trying to gain access to the names and addresses of citizens who signed the petition to repeal--it would seem for the sole purpose of harassing them in their homes. They won't help their cause if they travel down this road.
The teaching of creationism has no place in public schools. It is based on faith, not science. But neither should it be mocked, or its practitioners ridiculed, IMO. Why bother "teaching" that which is based entirely on faith? It's dangerous ground.
Since using Gallup is the order of the day, here's another:

You got me to thinking about violence in American politics:
Abraham Lincoln: Assassinated by the right - Confederate Sympathizer - John W. Booth - "Thus always to tyrants"
James Garfield: Assassinated by the insane - Charles J. Guiteau - "you are all low, consummate jackasses"
William McKinley: Assassinated by the left - Anarchist - Leon Czolgosz - "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people – the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime"
John F. Kennedy: Assassinated by the left - Communist - Lee H. Oswald - Denied the crime
Ok. I'm a little bored right now.
:cry:"WHAAAA!!! Say it ain't so!!":cry: Puh-lease, like this is news to anybody but you.
Go back to your plywood shack and continue your work editing Ted's manifesto. He almost had it right, I'll bet!
Sorry Ivan, but you can't honestly believe any of that. Associating the KR with the right? Huh?? More extremist righties? Right now? Or throughout the balance of American history? You know better than this.
Frankly, I take his threats seriously. No doubt--in his pea brain--I represent Limbaugh's "ilk" whom he also claims are in need of a bullet. Yes, I take his threats very seriously.
Come on Prole, TTK, Choad, EVERYONE! Let's sing together! We are the world...
We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones who make a brighter day.... Come on now! Don't be shy! This is your show! Sing!
I've given you several examples now--including one who wrote a manifesto which closely matches your own--and still you deny any association and claim your hands are clean. The warped psychology of the leftist never ceases to amaze...
