[quote]Last night I watched a program about 'The US hardest Jails'. There was an interview with somebody jailed there becuase he killed a man when attempting to rob him, it went wrong and the victium ended up dead. The reason for the robbery? The perp could not get AIDS meds. The number of times this has happened with the NHS? None.[/quote] [quote]1) I have never had, nor met any

One more falsehood from the Obama Cadre: “47 million are uninsured”; such ridiculously overblown statements seem a hallmark of this particular Democrat-controlled government. I guess their philosophy is, "the bigger the fish story, the more people will be inclined to believe it". Actually, though, it’s closer to 17 million, and some say even less than that. Many of those are younger, healthier people, simply opting out of <span
[quote]the book is not evidence, it is a collection of evidence and its interpretation and it CITES its evidence. The evidence cited by the book is the evidence (the author did the legwork of finding it).[/quote] [quote]Depends on what you want to call "masses of evidence". I do understand that a book filled with statistics is not "evidence" when it comes to conservative arguments. I also understand that liberal arguments usually have to be bought without any evidence at all and that
This is a valuable tool; it really is. I stop by here every once in a while, to get a reset of my views. Thing is, I laugh, but it's not funny. This is because it's all true.
[quote who="Adventure-Dude" reply="10" id="2361080"]RW, I used to fear all that Obama was doing until I realized something. This came after reading a book on the History of Russia and the chapter about Lenin and how he came to power. I thought about the other countries that secumbed to socialistic/communistic/nationalistic/Statism/etc regimes. Obama lacks 1 key thing that I think will crush his "Audacity of Hope" (pun intended) of bringing in fullfledged Statism (
[quote who="taltamir" reply="8" id="2339045"] I'm with ya rightwinger....I don't mind Obama half as much now that I know other people are paying attention. For a while there I thought Obama-bots took over America and somehow I didn't get a pod. It is very comforting to know how angry the general public is about their shenanigans. Those tea parties and town hall turnouts are really reassuring me... I was worried the whole world went insane. [/quote]
[quote]It was not very bright, I'll admit that, but I'm curious if you realize that there was a similar report during - i believe during Bush's or Clinton's term - on left wing militia and such, and one recently as of January 29th of this year. ( Source ) I just find it interesting that when such reports are made, even though there is practical value to keep and eye on and increase awareness of radical groups that just might kill people, it's wrong when it is those who are rig

I like the "Get a Brain, Morans" guy. As a person of Irish descent, however, I can attest to the fact that people with the name "Moran" are, quite often, intellectually inferior to the rest of us. [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Y'know....I'll admit, back around election time, I was scared of Obama. I dreaded what the country might become, with such a leftist-liberal radical loon in the Oval Office and a majority party of Socilaist, liberal whackos in control of the House and Senate, as well. A party of people whose concerns have been shown to lie more with non-traditional, anti-American ideals and interests, than with advancing the cause of Americanism. It frightened me; it did
Nice try, Infidel, but ID symbols of military/goverment bureaucracies approved by a state/nation are not personal symbols created/used by leaders.

[quote]You just have to go and look how the world was ruled in the 18th century where the church was a political power and the society was organized in a feudal way where you were born into a certain class, peasant, aristocracy or clergy and that determined who you could be. That is also part of judeo-christian values and history. You seem to have a pretty misty eyed idea about that.

I recall seeing this quote dozens of times over the last few years, from liberals opposed to Bush's policies: "Dissent Is the Highest Form of Patriotism"--Howard Zinn .....except when it's directed against a liberal President's polices, I guess.

[quote who="cactoblasta" reply="18" id="2331077"]Most presidents seem to create brands for themselves, they just vary in effectiveness. It starts with the Obama 08 or Bush 04 or Clinton 96 or Bush 88 etc and then, if the people like it, it moves on from there. Reagan's brand was folksy but hardcore, Clinton's was sleazy, Bush was innocent yet belligerent, Obama's is charismatic and socialist-doublelite. Political branding isn't new. The advantage in the US is that branding affects

[quote]Well, yes, they had been british settlers beforehand. European settlers were mostly Christian by default, that's all there is to it. The idea that the individual has rights and is not determined by religion or society and that all men are created equal are values and ideas that stem from humanist beliefs and the enlightenment movement/philosophy. It doesn't stem from christian values but they are included in that because the enlightenment movement happened in Europe and Euro
