These "debates" have become cheap campaign ads for the GOP contenders - they show up for these things and plead their cases instead of having to spend precious ad dollars before the primaries even start. Eventually these productions will grow old unless the also-rans start getting culled and the...

I'll take it you can't defend the assertion. The "you must be out to lunch if you don't agree with me" argument doesn't hold water. Wonder if that's because there weren't enough of them to impose Sharia law in either place. In countries where they're the majority it's a different story. Five...

Ron Paul has had some good moments, such as the one in 2002 when he introduced the "Free Housing Market Enhancement Act" before the House in 2002. In doing so he predicted spot on what was going to happen if policies weren't changed, especially with regards to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "Mr...

Really? Can you support this assertion with something other than your hearsay? Maybe you've got some quotations from the Koran that supports their toleration of homosexuality and orthodox Christianity, or any other religion for that matter. I'll bet that most any of us could find evidence of...

No, just support your assertions. The fact is the balanced budget act that he collaborated with Clinton to pass. This led to the Clinton budget surpluses everyone remembers. Correct, but it was the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act that started that ball rolling downhill and you can't hang that...

I agree - he's a slick politician, and usually they're the ones that get things done. Jimmy Carter was NOT a slick politician, and we remember how effective he was. Regarding the Gingrich companies: Newt Gingrich, Small-Business Owner - NYTimes.com

Consider this: why do we think the Obama will be really hard to beat and has a chance to win re-election in spite of his lousy record, rock-bottom approval ratings, and scandals like Solyndra and Fast & Furious about to reach boiling point ? Because the mainstream media tells us so. This is the...

An evaluation of their current medical system: Afghanistan's health system shows improvements, but staff and patient protection remains a concern An example of the heartlessness of the infidel occupiers: When Afghans Seek Medical Aid, Tough Choice for U.S. - NYTimes.com And some additional...

For those of us in the unwashed masses, maybe you could elaborate on the above assertion Another vague assertion - what things?? - be specific. That statement doesn't offer us a single substantiated fact. That tells us that Newt's policies shouldn't have been changed. What policies? What...

For those of us in the unwashed masses, maybe you could elaborate on the above assertion Now that's a bit rash, don't you think? An idiot with a PhD from Tulane, author of 23 books, has served on countless commissions and successfully undertaken several business ventures among other things -...

A good article was in Tuesday's Wall St. Journal regarding a group of native Afghans who work as translators for the US military. An interesting quote from one of the younger men: "You guys have Black Friday, right? Where everyone sleeps outside the shops to buy cheap things for Christmas?" I...

Actually, the Pakistani Taliban and Afghan Taliban are two separate entities, with the Pakistanis comprised of several different tribes/groups with some Afghan leaders. But how easily we forget about these barbarians destroying those ancient artifacts of a different religion in spite of several...

Let's define whining. Was it whining when the illegal Mexicans in CA started raising h*ll when Proposition 187 was passed by an overwhelming percentage and their free goodies and benefits were threatened? Was it whining when the folks from rural Western PA reacted to Obama's description of...

Now it's coming to light that these "students" are actually members of the basij militia - the same government minions that were dispatched to attack the Green Movement protesters in 2009. Apparently these latest European sanctions on the Iranian banks are getting their attention. Now if only...

I've inserted a couple of edits to this post since (1)sarcasm is hard to recognize without emoticons - and sometimes even with them and (2) the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph could be better worded as to its intent.

Barack Hussein Obama continues to add to his legacy of becoming the most failed president in our lifetimes, and possibly the history of the country. His latest milestone is his approval rating (using the term loosely), which is now below that of Jimmy Carter at the stage of his first term...

I can't believe we haven't seen anything on this forum about this patriotic sweethart, especially after the dust-up over Terry Jones, the Quran burning pastor in Florida. She certainly gives us a clear understanding of the Muslim religion, in case there were any doubts about their beliefs or...

All the previous is good advice, but be aware that you're an INDEPENDANT CONTRACTOR - and your contract is with the corporation/individual that owns the truck. Do your due diligence with the truck owner AND the company whose logo is on the side of your truck. Go through the archives on this...

Gadzooks - A voice of reason based on fact!:eek: Don't be a stranger - we need more of this.

That last one comes straight out of Leviticus 20:15-16, and the poor ol' beast doesn't get a break either. Maybe they figured it's morals would be corrupted for future breeding purposes:rolleyes:. But you're right - this work was reflective of the culture in the mid-17th century and the whole...
