    Why have Americans been so vocal lately in politics? Big Government, of course!

    Are you talking about the townhall Specter had in Lebanon? It was something to watch if it was that one.There was maybe one decent question asked,most of it was crazies talking about "I don't want america to become like socialist russia".Not sure she has kept up with events like socialist russia...

    The last of of the brothers passes.Teddy fought the good fight,you can only wonder if the other 3 had lived what they could have done and how different the country and world might be. R.I.P. Teddy:(

    Obamacare or Swine Flu?

    Yeah like :wtf: One is a nasty disease nobody would want and one is an effort to reform health care system that really needs reform.All the 20 and 30 somethings here should be supporting reform more than anyone.First most of you right now just get to pay in and utilize health care very...

    Why have Americans been so vocal lately in politics? Big Government, of course!

    We had deep relationship with the Saudi's for decades going back to WW2 and FDR.All that oil was of course the reason. And blaming Clinton for 9/11 is weak IMO.Bush had been pres for months when it happened,what had he done? But neitheir are to blame I think.We and our presidents can't...

    Obama + Soros + Brasil + Oil Interests =

    Yes but the reason there are off limits is much more NIMBY(not in my back yard) then anything along with other economic interests.Florida for example does not want off shore drilling due to the fear of oil on their beaches ruining their tourism biz.That biz amounts to a lot more revenue then oil...

    The New Zealand "Smacking" Law

    Dead on comment.:thumbsup:You get threads here asking whether anyone has ever hit a woman and of course all say no that's wrong but yet some think it's ok for adults to hit ********.It's not based on any rational thought process to come to those different conclusions.It's just what they have...

    North American Union???

    A few quick points. 1. This craziness about some sinister meaning to 'new world order" is just that craziness.Better to have world order then dis-order isn't it? After WW2 we created the UN with the same reasoning ,lets have more cooperation and discussion in the world and avoid another major...

    Terrorist lovefest continues.

    Yes a large amount of funding for the IRA came from the catholic Irish americans living in the US. I'm sure he is talking about much more recent history then that.In 1921 the catholic majority became free of british rule in the south of Ireland.But the 6 predominately protestant northern...

    Social Security payments to shrink

    Thats very true but with less and less companies offering pensions I think you may see more and more its all a lot of people will have.401k's from employers help (as long as its not Enron lol) but are not nearly as good as pensions were.It will really get to be an issue in the future when the...

    Right-Wing Says You'll Die If Health Care Passes

    You just don't get it,were all paying now.No such thing as free health care it's just how the money is spent,how much is spent and by who is the issue. I have paid plenty and its not about somebody else footing any bills.It's about how much those bills are and what we get for what we pay.Bang...

    Right-Wing Says You'll Die If Health Care Passes

    They have tried to say this but it has hard time getting through.Obama much to the chagrin of people on the left like me who want the single payer plan has taken a much more moderate middle of the road approach.And I very much understand the feeling of people not wanting to have to subsidize...

    Right-Wing Says You'll Die If Health Care Passes

    Health care is a right without an amendment.We already have that established.You show up in need of care at a hospital they must give treatment ,correct? The issue is whether health insurance is a right.All the experts will tell ya that having all these uninsured who don't get care on a regular...

    Right-Wing Says You'll Die If Health Care Passes

    1- Not every right has to be specifically spelled out.Is their a right not to starve in america,I think there is and most would agree with that.Some basic health care insurance is same type of thing.We don't need to amend the constitution to be decent people. 2- While I know you may not agree...

    GOPers Decrying Obama "Death Panels" Supported Intervention For Schiavo
