    The Trump Card...

    That snippet is also not even remotely close to being representative of the article, or of Sanders, and you know it. I chose not to piecemeal the article in snippets, so as not to misrepresent the man or his history.

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    That's because it doesn't fit your argument. Nevertheless, the numbers are what they are. It doesn't matter why the jobs were turned down. No unreasonable jobs were offered, and even if they were and were turned down, the offer of training or volunteering was still good. None of people in the...

    Possibly, but it's an honest and accurate side. How Bernie Sanders Became 'The Socialist Mayor'

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    For most of the states and most of the benefits, federal law prevents them from cutting the benefits, or if they do, they will lose other federal dollars that are tied to unrelated programs. For example, if states cut food stamps, they risk losing federal education dollars, since they are tied...

    Regarding the Oregon mass shooting, it's the guns not the shooter.

    The BBcode is an "S" in the start bracket and a "slash-S" in the end bracket. You may have had that section of text highlighted and then mistakenly hit the American flag lookin' icon just to the left of the camera icon and clicked "Strikethrough" by mistake. I edited it out, but the way to...

    Why Is There No Outrage About This Police Shooting?

    It's interesting that both experts dismissed as irrelevant any of the factors that fail to support the police. One expert is a former FBI agent and the other is a prosecuting attorney (Lamar Sims) who is an expert at finding ways to justify police shootings. He gives lectures to police officers...

    They'd crap their pants if they saw a cell phone.

    Where to start?

    Every load is a separate load contract in which specific terms and conditions are agreed to by both parties. You can't unilaterally change those terms any more than they can. If, after you deliver a load, you ask for more money for that load, they're going to tell you "no," and that you agreed...

    Cargo Van So You Found a Less Expensive Progressive Policy?

    I don't think very many, if any, underinsured owner/operators or the carriers who allow them to run loads, are going to post any "Look at me, I'm skirting the rules!" replies on this.

    The Trump Card...

    I'll never forget what a middle school social studies teacher said as we were about to study communism and socialism... "Communism looks good on paper, but it doesn't work with people." History, as well as the recent present, has proven that statement to be correct. How do you think China got to...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    That's certainly the incentive, anyway. ;)

    Cargo Van Anyone in Chicago?

    That's because, contrary to popular belief, it's not grand theft auto after you've voluntarily given them the keys and the truck. :eggonface:

    Cargo Van So You Found a Less Expensive Progressive Policy?

    I fully understand the desire to want CIS, for the well-known obvious reasons. It's the word "required" that stuck out like a sore thumb there.

    October in Load 1 Nation

    If I had to pick a sausage gravy, other than my own, of course, I'd go with Bob Evans, with McDonald's and Hardees being a close second to Bob's.

    Cargo Van So You Found a Less Expensive Progressive Policy?

    I see why you have :independent" in quotes, because they're not independent contractors at all. The one immutable truth of an employee is: A worker is an employee if the institution has the right to control the manner and means of accomplishing the result desired. Requiring an independent...

    The Wild, Wild West - SE Michigan

    Actually, the writers of our great document were talking about the same exact guns the government has at its disposal to use against its citizens. The various state constitutions and Colonial legislations, as well as the founding fathers' own writings on the matter made clear that citizens...
