"The Dream and the Nightmare" by Myron Magnet.
This is critical reading for everyone. We can not understand the United States of America toda without understanding the cultural earthquake...
The Christian Right is definitely in decline. They still make a lot of noise, but their dominance in politics is nothing like it was through the '80s and '90s and poll after poll shows this. It's a...
I agree there is a massive Israel First lobby in America which is far, far too powerful. It has run our Middle East foreign policy for far too long. I also believe Israel is committing slow suicide...
You can boycott yourself for all anyone cares. The question is, other than Psy's comments, what is "anti-American" about them? The title you posted was that "Boycott These Anti-Americans." You are...
Other than the comments of that rancid little shit Psy, there is absolutely nothing about them which could be construed as "anti-American." If having mainstream, non-conservative views makes that...
Seven Democratic senators wrote a letter asking the IRS to investigate existing 501(c)4 organizations which they believed were abusing their tax exempt status. Republicans previously asked the IRS...
I agree.
I am offended, however, at the implication that this case deserves even greater outrage because the revenge being sought was against a homosexual 18 year old, and not a straight 18 year...
I'd go for the tax amnesty. The domestic fuel production is good too, but it would not have happened fast enough to pull the economy out of a dive. The Stimulus was an emergency act, because every...
What "wasn't"? It wasn't the worst economic crisis since the Depression? Unemployment wasn't officially around 11% and possibly more like 15%? Your answer is a non-sequitor.
We agree that...
How? Really, what were the obvious things that any president could have done?
Ah...Lies, damned lies...and statistics.
I should have been more careful. There may be fewer people employed today than when he was elected. But without any context, that is as meaningless as...
There is absolutely NO WAY that there are fewer people employed today than when Obama took office. No way. Not unless we've suddenly had a huge glut of people entering the country looking for...
Are you annoyed at the perception that a lesbian is being unfairly singled out for prosecution, or annoyed at the fact that many high school sweethearts find themselves in Kate's situation, having...
The crime she is charged with is sexual battery on a minor.
This often happens when a boy turns 18 and he has been in a consensual relationship with a girl who is still under age. When the...
What are you talking about?
No.
No, it wouldn't be, Sweetie. Even the IRS has not gone so far to claim it suspected a conspiracy among tea baggers. You're defending the IRS even more than the IRS is defending itself, so important...
"...Some tea party groups, including a very large national one, committed tax fraud in their zealous attempt to circumvent their 401(c) status. Others made simple clerical errors. A small field...
Totally wrong.
The IRS wasn't targeting whether or not conservative groups with "tea party" and "patriot" in their name had failed to pay appropriate taxes or misused their tax exempt status. ...
"You continue to confuse socialism with communism. Can you name a major country that has implemented socialism?"
No major country to my knowledge has done so, though certain communities have...
That is an excellent graph, Bfgrn.
"Socialism is not a political system, it's a way of distributing goods and services."
Oh of course it is a political system! How can the establishment of rules regarding "distributing goods and...
"Okay... what the hell are you talking about? I said I'm a libertarian minded DemSoc. Where do you get Bolshevism out of that? I've had folks use straw men to avoid debating against democracy, but...
I would not call this "organized criminality" and I would be absolutely shocked and outraged, if Obama or anyone near his staff had anything to direct this targeting of political organizations for...
