Gun Control

GOPTortoise: true

'''Gun control''' is the regulation of [[gun]] ownership and the right to carry, conceal, or use [[firearm]]s by governments. Such measures can range from a total prohibition on civilian ownership and posseession of firearms and ammunition to specific restrictions on certain firearm features, "waiting periods" for gun purchases, licensing of gun owners, registration of firearms, etc. Increased "gun control" is generally promoted by [[liberals]] as a remedy to [[crime]]. In fact, whether or not guns are officially controlled by the government criminals will commit crimes and a black market will exist to provide them with firearms. For instance, despite the prohibition of handgun ownership in the [[United Kingdom]], an island nation without any neighboring "gun culture" nations, handgun crime has been steadily increasing there for many years. As of 2005/06, the total deaths by shooting in the UK had increased to 50<ref>http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs07/hosb0207.pdf</ref>, compared to only 11,350 in 2005 in the USA.<ref>http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html</ref>

The "right to keep and bear arms" is an individual right guaranteed to the American citizen by the Bill of Rights through the virtue of a selective reading of said bill. "A Well regulated militia" preceeds that statment and somehow it seems unlikley that the Founding Fathers had machine-guns and rocket-launchers on their minds when they wrote those words.

Karl Rove

GOPTortoise: This is opinion and not fact and so its out

Karl Rove, born on [[Christmas]], 1950, is the [[Deputy Chief of Staff]] in the [[Bush administration]]. Rove's longtime partnership with [[George W. Bush]] dates back to Bush's terms as [[governor]] of [[Texas]]. Rove ran both of Bush's campaigns for governor and for president.

Rove's track to the top began early, when he dropped out of [[the University of Utah]] to work in the [[College Republican National Committee]]. He quickly demonstrated his political guile, including a daring raid into a [[liberal]] opponent's headquarters . Once inside, Rove stole paper with the man's letterhead, wrote slanderous things on them, and distributed them around town [[[[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/rove072399.htm]]]]. This strategy has earned him a place among the cleverest in history, akin to Nazi and, more currently, Chinese propaganda. Rove has also used a number of other innovative strategies, which often is focused around attacking the liberals on their moral shortcomings, while providing little to no proof of such a thing. Rove's clever strategies even have included sending operatives to sort through opponents trash See ([[http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1165126,00.html]]).

Fox News Channel

GOPTortoise: Hey anyone who has watched fox knows i am right

Fox News was started in 1996 by [[Rupert Murdoch]] in response to the other cable news channels which he believed to all have [[Liberal Biased Media|liberal biases]]. Fox News claims to be "Fair & Balanced"<ref>Fair & Balanced[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,27906,00.html]</ref> a claim which it backs up by having shows like [[Hannity & Colmes]]. Fox News characterizes itself as reporting the news in an unbiased manner and then allowing the viewer to decide. <ref>We Report. You Decide.[http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foxiu1.jpg]</ref>.

Fox News was the first and only US cable news company to use the term "homicide bombing" to describe attacks by [[Arabs]] and [[Palestine|Palestinians]] on [[Israel|Israelis]]. Similarly, in reporting the prosecution of [[Scooter Libby]], Fox was the only news outlet to report his one acquittal and make no mention of the four convictions. Their news report implied, falsely, that he was innocent of all charges.

In 2005 the [[White House]] rewarded Fox News for its partisan support of its policies by appointing [[Tony Snow]] to be the new White House press secretary.<ref>Tony Snow to be Named White House Press Secretary[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193093,00.html]</ref>

The network has come under attacks from all sides of the political spectrum since its inception, largely for its uncritical and blatantly partisan support for the Bush administration and for the fact that it has consistantly failed to hand over Bill o'Reily to the Hague like all the other Fascists.

Israel

GOPTortoise: Arab would seem by common sense to refer to people from the Arabian penninsula, and if you are a Palestinian you are by definition from Palestine and so not an arab

Israel is a nation located in the [[Middle East]]. It originally started when the [[Hebrews]] migrated from [[Egypt]] out of slavery. It is the location of [[Jesus]]' birth and many other major [[Bible|Bibli]]cal events.

Israel was a powerful nation in the Middle East from about 1000 to 900 B.C.

It was conquered by the Romans in 200 B.C. In 1948, it once again became a sovereign nation.

Today Israel is the location of intense territorial disputes between [[Israeli]]s and [[Palestinians]]. Although Israel has made repeated concessions to the [[Muslim]] Palestinians, the Palestinians continue to employ [[terrorist]] tactics, especially [[suicide bombing]], against Israel.
