Opinion: Republicans rewrite history in crying 'socialism' - 1 year ago

→ Completely agree with you... only I need to add that politicians are people too when we say that "people can not be trusted". For as many Enrons as we are seeing, the waste, fraud and abuse created by government is also rampant.

Opinion: Republicans rewrite history in crying 'socialism' - 1 year ago

→ I agree it's moot to debate whether obama is a socialist or not. But it's completely relevant to debate what is considered "socialist" and whether such policies have a place in our government. "But this is not a debate about socialism; it is a debate about...

Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Libertarians are Terrorist - 1 year ago

→ Good Ole Boy, they actually provide the documents. This article is actually just a gross misrepresentation of what was printed in the document by the threat assessment center for law enforcement. The document itself simply says that these militant groups are likely to associate themselves with...

Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Libertarians are Terrorist - 1 year ago

→ A childish personal attack is always better than confronting me on the issue and answering my question. I get out plenty.

2 charged after FBI raid at D.C. agency - 1 year ago

→ These stories amuse me because so many people go wild when they hear them... the big picture is actually what is really sad about our government. In 2004 alone the various inspector generals offices (the watchdogs of US government spending, contracts, etc) of the US government...

Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Libertarians are Terrorist - 1 year ago

→ If supporting a candidate who is a strict constitutionalist is synonymous with Rebellion, what exactly do you believe is politically righteous? I'm not saying I agree with all of Ron Pauls ideas, however, the man is one of the few honest politicians I've ever seen and...

FED PUMPS $800B MORE - 1 year ago

→ While a spending freeze might help for a short term (even though doing so is not practical), it does not address the source of the problem. In fact, I suspect it would only make the markets FAR WORSE ("If the government isn't spending, IM NOT SPENDING.

Bush pardons 14 and commutes 2 prison sentences - 1 year ago

→ There is a difference between border patrol agents shooting someone who crosses the border and flees back - and a drug-smuggler they reasonably believed to be armed. That said, they violated procedure when they pursued the fleeing scumbag. Now I'm not saying these men deserve...

'A lot' of homeschooled kids are 'demented' - 1 year ago

→ That's like the home-schoolers saying that public school is an open-door to promiscuity, fanatic atheism, and a warped sense of values leaving children void of integrity. Just because a small minority exists which fits YOUR prejudices (your hatred of organized religion is apparent from your...

Global warning: We are actually heading towards a new Ice Age, claim scientists - 1 year ago

→ You mean to tell me that buying carbon credits (that fund Al Gores jet fuel for his gulfstream to give powerpoint conferences about global warming) just might not be the solution to our climate ails? [[Sheer look of terror!]] I wonder..

Right-wing media feeds its post-election anger - 1 year ago

→ Yeah, because Sarbanes-Oxley has really been working wonders. If either your or Jilsy are naive enough to believe that one party or one president is responsible for this mess, there is no hope for you. Jilsy is right - Clinton took his share of the responsibility...

It's Official: Liberalism is a Mental Disorder - 1 year ago

→ Internet use is a mental disorder... promotes instant gratification, promotes deceit and dishonesty by allowing individuals to portray someone who they are not, promotes and reinforces the easy spread of information which is often false (blogs, what?), augments childhood shortcomings and causes individuals to overcompensate...

OBAMA BFF, BOMBING THE CAPITOL WASN'T TERRORISM - 1 year ago

→ Our founding fathers WERE considered terrorists. I agree with you though... the definition is vaguely broad, but I don't think anyone could suggest a better definition. I also think the justice system has applied it... well.. judiciously to criminal violations. Don't get me wrong, I didn't...

Report: Hamas says its officials met Obama aides before U.S. election - 1 year ago

→ Haha I seriously doubt this... I think it works well for them if Hamas claims to have met with high-level US officials. In doing so, they strengthen the divide in this country in an attempt to create a divide with our alliance with Israel.

Ban on Internet Gambling - 1 year ago

→ Haha. Tell them once they give up their guns "for the good of society" that we'll all agree to ban internet gambling "for the good of society." Watch said "republicans" flounder.

OBAMA BFF, BOMBING THE CAPITOL WASN'T TERRORISM - 1 year ago

→ Scott? What is your source? Title 18 of the United States Code defines terrorism (5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that— (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be...

Ban on Internet Gambling - 1 year ago

→ I'm afraid this one is more about economics than morality - whether left or right-leaning. Don't think Obama will deviate from it, Don't think McCain would have either. Before you go off attacking all the evil conservatives MrAmerica: "[the] moral and social cost of gambling,...

US Catholic bishops warn Obama on abortion - 1 year ago

→ I will agree with this Pierre. There is sometimes a lot of contradiction. I find it just as difficult to understand why people who support a womans right to choose (as the previous poster here) can be so intolerant to people who don't share their...

US Catholic bishops warn Obama on abortion - 1 year ago

→ Perhaps you missed the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to...

Global warning: We are actually heading towards a new Ice Age, claim scientists - 1 year ago

→ Haha. Yes, because every time I have questions about science, I consult a jake gyllenhall movie. The key part in the article to me is "And what's more, the experts blame the global change on falling - rather than climbing - levels of greenhouse gases." Regardless...

Bin Laden isolated, fighting to survive - 1 year ago

→ Based on reading the article, it seems as though 'isolated' may be the wrong word.. as that implies a geographic region we've located him in. I think they are trying to explain that he's on the defensive and pouring more of his resources into maintaining operational...

Merry Christmas, God Don't Exist, New Ad Campaign.. - 1 year ago

→ MrAmerica: Thanks for the response. You're right about the Controversy Creates Cash. When this is plastered all over the news they get not only their work on buses, but also TV syndication (and they know this). This is why I'm all for just ignoring it as...

Obama Equals Gestapo-like Marxist Dictatorship - so says Georgia Congressman - 1 year ago

→ Yes - but pulling ONE QUOTE out of a conversation about service and the military and injecting ones own context into it isn't entirely an accurate depiction. The Congressman from Georgia should be representing his constituents and asking this question of the President-Elect, not comparing...

Merry Christmas, God Don't Exist, New Ad Campaign.. - 1 year ago

→ bco... I'm not sure where we are in disagreement? I don't recall ever taking the position in my post that you shouldn't stand up for your beliefs. I most certainly did not say they were not assaulting theism (to include Christianity).

Obama Equals Gestapo-like Marxist Dictatorship - so says Georgia Congressman - 1 year ago

→ Folks - check out the facts instead of jumping to generalizations based on an article or a sound-byte. I think this article is a gross contortion of what Obama said in the actual speech. Obama is big on Service. He wants people to know that...
