I thought it was just the tip of the iceberg. No iceberg then? That seems appropriate....

Very funny.... Maybe it's just me, but a lot right-wing people like hannity, limbaugh, savage etc. seem like really disgusting unlikeable people. It's not just their politics....I think they're just douchey assholes in life and their political views are just a reflection of that.

Not really...it was actually pretty popular around teddy roosevelt's time. Is 'libertarian' the new buzzwords conservatives that were had by the bush administration use to describe themselves...? Neither really means anything. There's little point in those labels unless you're glenn beck or some...

I think we should go even further and only support legalization proposals that also include 1) a free bong and 2) four-day weekends I don't see the point of legalization if we can't have those...

So you agree that the government will have to keep a pretty close eye on safety then, no....? That's why there's a moratorium....so they can go over the safety standards and make sure everyone is abiding. Also, if there's another spill, there's nothing left to clean it up with...

They're both ideologies that assume some sort of understanding of intrinsic human behavior and base they're ideas for a form of government on those. I prefer a more pragmatic approach, where we look at what works and try to replicate it. Letting private markets and polluting industries regulate...

Beardo, what values and rights won't she hold up and why? I don't know if you saw the hearings, but she's got a pretty good understanding of the law and the constitution. Is this just a hunch or are you basing it on something...? And gorac, the term "activist judge" doesn't mean anything. If...

No, but you've proven yourself to be both in this thread.... The site has a pretty clear agenda but some of those numbers are probably accurate. But the one that measures 'social costs' of immigrants doesn't include taxes paid by illegals for example. And the 'incarcerated illegals' is also a...

The military is paid for with my taxes as well. That doesn't mean I get to go deep sea fishing on a navy destroyer.... Do you also object to library cards?

He did....twice. I like the guy, but wouldn't want him to be president. Too much of an ideologue...

Your taxes have nothing to do with. They don't just pay for you to be able to use your car on them (provided you have a license, insurance and registration...) but also to keep them maintained so that your groceries get to the super-market and your ups package can get from the hydro store to...

You're right....if we had just shot enough of the 'bad guys' in vietnam, they would have forgotten about that whole independence, get the fuck out of my country shit and we would have won.

Again....it's not the way obama has it. It's the way the generals have it. Read the rolling stone article....

Do you think she would make a good justice? Why or why not?

Why would you think that? All the facts points to a very straightforward conclusion. And there isn't even any motive. Even if this would help pass any new regulations or anything else, do you really think that anyone would think that would be worth it 6 months before an election? Think about...

For cases involving national security and foreign spies, there is no way the politicos would be able to sit on it and release it at a convenient time....this investigation must have been going on for years and at some point you just have to wrap it up. And if it is a big spoof to draw attention...

Ok, i'm convinced... Let's shoot every man, women and child in afghanistan and sell the place to BP!

So I take it there shouldn't be any need for pilot licenses either. They're just traveling after all. Not flying...no sir.

What's so well thought out about it? "if you're illegal gtfo, if you're legal then you're cool"...? It's not that insightful. For one thing, whether someone is able to legally immigrate depends on arbitrary quotas and lotteries rather than on someone's skills, education or ability to...

I don't think so. If they're charging them in federal court it means they have all the evidence and intelligence they need to be able to arrest them all. That kind of conspiracy would be basically impossible to pull off because the FBI are lifetime bureaucrats and not political appointees who...
