did the size of our bloated bureaucracy decrease? of course not. is sometime slows, but it never gets any smaller. every one of your academically backed solutions demands the constant growth of that one institution that creates nothing, government. you propose increasing entitlements...

i know exactly what mame is saying and it smacks of the same thinking that keeps getting us into the same trouble over and over again. we only think about the budget once things have gotten out of control. in the good times we dole out entitlements hand over fist. everyone gets a slice of the...

i suppose it would be a bit too much to expect a certain amount of austerity even in the best of times.

he does have an incredible super power, the power of astounding dullness.

no conspiracy theory, merely the natural tendency of governments to use whatever is at their disposal to increase their power over their constituents and of men to do what is in their own best interests. to turn a blind eye to that tendency seems to be a favorite pastime of statists the world...

anyone with more than two braincells to rub together can see the massive political impact of the agw scam. it has been used as the impetus for wealth redistribution schemes on a global scale and to hinder the progress of industrialized nations. it has been used to further the cause of...

do you have any idea how many times i've been told that? i always find it rather comforting, knowing there's a place even for people like me after death. i have to admit i'd have a bit of a problem with the heat, but i've found you can get used to just about anything after a while and eternity...

a piece of toast with an image of bette davis sold for $28,000? how much for a toasted cheese sandwich with the image of elvis?

you may have just hit the nail on the head. with its short term gains at the expense of long term ambitions, there is a great deal of idiocy to the liberal agenda. of course there is no one answer to why we each choose our philosophies. misplaced compassion, lack of foresight, megalomania and...

since fog found the obama vs. paul poll not to his liking, i thought i might put one up that has options aimed more at his sort of philosophy. it's a very limited time offer, so get your choices in now.:roll:

it isn't a matter of whether racism was a problem then or is a problem now. it's about whether declaring "martial law", as you have termed it, is a legitimate answer to such a problem. as you have pointed out, we segregate ourselves quite effectively. we often choose to surround ourselves...

so are we to take away from this that these children were all effected by the attitude of the world around them or could it be that there was something lacking in their home lives, something that did not feed into the growth of their self-esteem? are we to take the supposition of psychiatric...

so you have a crystal ball? you have some foreknowledge of the outcome of this particular battle of ideologies? i have always been a bit of a pessimist, with a rather dim view of humanity that is reinforced on a nearly daily basis, but even i wouldn't presume to count out the human desire for...

you're just figuring this out now? these are people whose entire philosophy is based on vengeance. you simply can't expect any sort of honesty from the redistributionist crowd. by the way, don't be offended by his reference to good old atticus. that it refers to a story in which the...

as usual, you sidestep the issue. just like you, i have seen cruelty and injustice inflicted on people of every color, i've even been on the receiving end of a few instances of racially motivated violence, and i believe in offering everyone just treatment. but that's not what you're...

so you are essentially saying that two wrongs make a right, the ends justify the means and the rights of the individual are secondary to the whims of both the state and the mob. you endlessly cite the failures of government to protect its citizens as the very reasons why we should allow the...

what's wrong buck, are the paul disciples horning in on the obama cultists' turf? every once in a while we find a candidate that we hope will be willing to step outside of the status quo, saving us from the mess we have allowed our government to make of the nation. the more out of control our...

you don't work simply because you can find someone else to pay your way and you have the audacity to insult people who have worked their entire lives for what they have? you're a prime example of all that is worst in the welfare state. would it kill you to get that low paying job and go to...

wow, isn't it odd that those who actually pay into the system should receive the bulk of the benefits from a cut in taxes. with y'all it seems that nothing is good enough if it doesn't cause a role reversal. while the redistributionists are expending all this energy spreading existing wealth...

i do hope some of that ignorance wears off before you spend too much more time in college, but i kind of doubt it will. lobbyists come in all shapes and sizes, representing more than just the interests of big business. those tax cuts you so despise were not strictly for the wealthy. they were...
