You think those are real teabaggers?

There's a wide perception that Mr. Buchanan is an anti-Semite, due to his anti-Israel foreign policy positions and a book on WWII he recently wrote in which he in essence claimed (wrongly, IMO) that Hitler wasn't entirely to blame for the war in Europe. Even though I don't agree with Mr...

So... How does this relate to Bucahanan's life-long devotion to and praise of Barry Goldwater, who was a Jew?

And, keep in mind that in America at least 4% of the general public can be counted on to hit the wrong button...

And again, he was taken very much out of context. Rush was parodying Rahm Emmanuel by employing the same phrase, much as he once parodied a couple prominent black journalists by referring to Obama (in the exact same words they used) as a "magic negro". Anyone listening to the whole segment...

Newt caved in to the enviro-leftists about four years back, and I'll never trust him again even if he attempts to regain his genuine conservative status now that it's popular. He supported action on global warming, etc. apparently because he thought it'd help him in the polls. (Anyone who's...

Amen. It's why I've devoted my life, knowing full well that it was almost certainly a losing cause, to eliminating all of the above. (If you want unemployment insurance, buy it on the private market. Don't make _me_ buy it too!) Every time I hear some Leftie claim that this _must_ be about...

If you check closely, you'll find that Europe's bank problems are roughly 2.5 times as severe as those in the US, on a per-unit basis. Ambrose Evans Pritchard, a noted London commentator, has been repeatedly pointing this out for over a year now, but our press seems highly reluctant to pick up...

It's their country. But no socialist nation can in my opinion be free, due to the need for these controls. And, also in my opinion, these same controls preclude long-term economic success as well by increasingly interfering with the supply/demand/growth cycle. So, while I respect their choice...

Pretty much, yes, though I prefer the term "Libertarian" since the term "Liberal" was co-opted by the Left to mean big-government supporter, etc. Don't expect to see me much, though. I joined this forum to look over van expediting, and upon doing so have pretty much decided it's not for me...

We are in uncharted territory, economically-speaking. No one's ever tried stimulus/quantitative easing at anything like the scale lately attempted. Reputable economists are all over the map as to what's going to happen next-- you hear everything from "a deflationary spiral and derpression...

Sessession is illegal under the Constitution... Actually, lawyers debate the issue all the time. It's not in least bit settled law, in part because the Constitution says nothing either way. As events transpired, however, it wasn't exactly the courts that settled the issue. So, there's...

I love Limbaugh. And am a Libertarian, more than anything else. Listen almost every day.

Near as I can tell, he apologized to them for us believing that democracy and our way of life is superior to the way they live and govern themselves. It's not something that can be quoted in a line or two, but IMO was clearly the tone of his speech as a whole. Many of his other speeches follow...

This article highlights national health care at it's very finest. A guy died in Japan from injuries due to a traffic accident after fourteen hospitals rejected him due to lack of beds, doctors, or equipment. And this isn't even close to the national record! It's even more pathetic than the stuff...

Today marks the beginning of the worst disaster for America since the loss of China in 1948.

Who says I support the "union culture"? I just want the facts straight, is all. Nothing in life is black/white simple. Everything's a lighter or darker shade of gray. And, yes, I do expect worse is coming. Same as there'd be worse if the media took a similar interest in, say, IBM...

I've actually been to Black Lake... It's main purpose, near as I can tell, is to serve as a sort of shrine. During the 1950's and 1960's, the UAW and other labor groups around the world saw unions having a much _larger_ socio/political role in the future, a la Europe, not a smaller one as...

My point is that in an institution this size this kind of thing is gonna happen, bailout or no. I can understand that the public wants to know. Just keep it in perspective, is all I ask. I'm sure worse will be exposed before it's all over.

I know. Nothing like this _ever_ happens outside union plants. No one ever steals time, nobody is ever lazy, and there's no corruption of any kind. It's only in union plants that we find cases like this one.
