		<description>&lt;p&gt;$148×12 months = 1776&lt;br /&gt;
$149×12 months = 1788 (year the Constitution was ratified)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I signed up to be a $149/mo Guardian of Liberty, tithing my income for the ACLU. If you believe in something strongly enough, you should logically only give to one charity, instead of dispersing smaller, irregular payments to all the causes you support and having them waste money trying to hit you up for further donations. For me, the ACLU best represents what I believe in.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“What are you going to do, vote for McCain?” Obama taunts. Of course, he knows you aren’t going to.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama teaches Constitutional law. Yet, in his first test as “The Candidate,” he does not have the courage or integrity to stand up for the Constitution. What more do you need to know? Obama stated that he would vote against and filibuster any law that contained telecom immunity. Yet, he cowered and caved. Even his ‘rationalizations” were unintelligible and full of misinformation. Obama left no doubt to anyone that when Bush says “BOO!”, he will run as fast as he can from his principles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simply put, Obama is basically a coward. It is clear that Obama is going to continue to take positions that are diametrically opposed to the progressives who fuel his campaign in order to demonstrate to the Main Stream Media that he is a “Serious” person who is not beholden to the “radical, fringe left.” FISA is only the first of many betrayals to come, I am afraid.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Send your Obama dollars to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ActBlue.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.ActBlue.com&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.EFF.org,&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.EFF.org,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aclu.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.aclu.org&lt;/a&gt;  and support true progressives.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;just a joke for when two people say the same (or close to the same) thing at almost the same time. whoever was first is supposed to get a drink from the slacker (that would be me). but no coke -&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HFZ3cH1UAI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; coke is the drink of the death squads&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Reminds me of this joke&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s this guy who had been lost and walking in the desert for about 2 weeks. One hot day, he sees the home of a missionary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and nurses him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feeling better, the man asks the missionary for directions to the nearest town. On his way out the backdoor, he sees this horse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He goes back into the house and asks the missionary, “Could I borrow your horse and give it back when I reach the town?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The missionary says, “Sure but there is a special thing about this horse. You have to say ‘Thank God’ to make it go and ‘Amen’ to make it stop.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not paying much attention, the man says, “Sure, OK.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So he gets on the horse and says, “Thank God” and the horse starts walking. Then he says, “Thank God, thank God, ” and the horse starts trotting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feeling really brave, the man says, “Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God” and the horse just takes off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he’s doing everything he can to make the horse stop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Whoa, stop, hold on!!!!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally he remembers, “Amen!!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The horse stops 4 inches from the cliff. The man leans back in the saddle and says, “Thank God!” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m not worried about getting a vote for my comment (I was just joking around that the dufus got 2 votes and I got zero) but I sure do wish more people would set that person straight. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why do you owe me a drink? Did I do something good that I don’t know about? I’ll take a rum and coke. lol&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I signed up both my wife and myself. The thing that really just kills me is that the vote wasn’t even close! You would think with such an important issue at stake that there would have been at least a few more “nay” votes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
