    Shariah 4 America

    Didn't I see a post somewhere in here that stated the muslims weren't interested in imposing Sharia law in the US? Maybe I just dreamed it.

    Gingrich warns Obama

    I'd like to see where the Constitution is "quite clear" that any branch of government has an obligation to not enforce a duly enacted law. Maybe challenge the law under the appellate processes provided by law? Sure, that happens fairly often. But if the Constitution allows the Executive Branch...

    Libertarianism

    Are you kidding me? Go back and watch the proceedings on YouTube. Nearly every politically informed person on the planet has seen the videos of Barney, Maxine, et al trumpeting the virtues and accomplishments of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, crowing about what a great job Franklin Raines had done...

    Libertarianism

    Nice try - every sentence in the above post is either based on conclusions derived from a false premise or is simply wrong. This effort by the liberals to split the conservative movement into factions is an interesting, but lame effort. The statement that "neocons subvert human rights as laid...

    The Most Disturbing Personality on Cable Television

    "It's hard to tell how much of what Beck says is sincere and how much is for show" I'll bet this same author was also outraged by Jerry Springer and his guests, assuming nothing on that show was staged or scripted. Here's a news flash: for some reason Beck has developed a huge following with...

    Libertarianism

    Right - we don't see the cream rising to the top yet, but it will. The "old guard" from the '90s has been mostly replaced, especially in the House. The presidential contenders will be fresh faces, instead of the usual GOP tendency of nominating somebody like Dole or McCain because it's "their...

    Libertarianism

    True, but the leadership of the conservatives will come into focus. At this stage of their respective campaigns no one would have guessed Bill Clinton or BHO would have ended up being the nominee. Au contraire - the 1980's showed considerable conservative gains - so much so that Reagan's VP...

    Wis. troopers sent to find Democrats, no one home

    This is usually the case with an empty suit.

    Libertarianism

    True enough, but let's not confuse lack of leadership with a flaw in the conservative philosophy. There is no Reagan in the party right now, an outspoken leader who made his case directly to the American people rather than allow it to be misinterpreted by the mainstream media. The leaders of the...

    Libertarianism

    Considering that 1. there's been a fair amount of promotion as of late for Ron Paul and his mostly Libertarian positions, and 2. that some self proclaimed Libertarians are claiming to be the true Conservatives while attempting to label most Republicans as Neoconservatives (Neocons) - a...

    Saddam Hussein - Not Bush Or Cheney - Was Telling The Truth

    The US took 14 months to complete the buildup - more than ample time for Saddam to unload anything he didn't want found. With that in mind, he could have also allowed the UN inspectors to come in and confirm the absence of WMDs, thus defusing the whole situation. But you're exactly right - H.W...

    Saddam Hussein - Not Bush Or Cheney - Was Telling The Truth

    There's probably not a lot of people that frequent this forum that are familiar with Eric Margolis - the author of this "mostly accurate" opinion piece. However, those that are familiar with the LewRockwell website certainly know the name and are familiar with his anti-American and anti-Semitic...

    A crime stopped DEAD!!

    Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I believe the "right to bear arms (own guns) without interference" doesn't mean one has the right to carry a concealed weapon - at least in certain states.

    Texas poised to pass bill allowing guns on campus

    Probably won't make that much difference - a significant number of them likely have guns in their apartments or houses already.

    Democrats have meltdown in Wisconsin

    First of all, it's not all that clear that the state "got along without them". If it's a paid sick day, it's lost productivity en masse for which the state paid taxpayer dollars and got nothing in return. There are a lot of employers that allow for sick days, but ask that employees substantiate...

    Democrats have meltdown in Wisconsin

    It would seem that a total lack of comprehension is evident when somebody doesn't understand that the right of peaceable assembly doesn't include permitting these civil servants doing so at taxpayers' expense. If they want to "peaceably assemble" without being in violation of their employment...

    What holds America together?

    I'm more than happy to offer the following website: Impacts of Illegal Immigration: Education Be sure to check out the other segments of the website listed in the column on the left. Been to a Home Depot lately? It's hard to estimate how many different SKUs are in one of their stores; but almost...

    What holds America together?

    Dang it, I hate those quote boxes - they completely defeat my "ignore" option (maybe Lawrence or somebody can correct that). But when I see a question/comment that's so pointless and inane I just can't resist responding with a blinding glimpse of the obvious. Q: "What have you personally done...

    What holds America together?

    I couldn't disagree more, and we don't have to go any farther than AZ or CA to prove the point. Take a look at the illegal Mexicans pouring into the American southwest, overwhelming our emergency rooms, schools, and the resources of various social services - all the while demanding that we...
