Just for shits and giggles; Why bother? Do you leave a garden untended? Past a certain point, getting it back requires a slash-and-burn operation. Perhaps, but I am a slow and steady sort. And as much as I appreciate and understand creative destruction, when I see everyone around me screaming "...

President Obama could languish and few will be there to watch. The media will only be so tough on the President when it is in their best interest that this race remains as close and contentious as possible for ratings and readers. The debates will not hurt the President too much, they are a joke; t...

We've had hereditary Presidents since the very beginning. It's not a new development. Bush Sr. in a book about the Bush "Dynasty", said he hated the term 'dynasty' and referred to the Adams family. At least Obama's kids are young. Or instead of the Adams family we would have the new Addam...

His numbers will only go up once the nomination is secure. Or they won't. We are just getting started here, looking at a billion dollar campaign from Obama; a possible candidate who makes the strangest gaffes as he demonstrates that awkwardness has no limits; and he has wounded Newt who in an act o...

I have NEVER seen someone promoting Barack Obama for President at an Occupy event, but I have seen hundreds of signs supporting Ron Paul for President. The Paul stuff I believe- I don't think anyone doubts that. But the important thing is that the movement is strong and everyone is counted and has ...

Yes, we now know why Barbour chose not to run in this election. Yet there is something disturbing about the lack of charity and mercy in some reactions to his pardoning of criminals.

Do you leave a garden untended?

Yes; OCCUPY hates Obama 'till we don't but we do because everyone speaks for us even though no one speaks for us as well because we are all individuals who come together and have opinions but we don't because the 99% is everything and the 1% nothing except their corporations no wait they are the gov...

The problem with game theory; game theory in general and not just its application applied to dating across the web, is relies on the winner to be so deceitful that you can only understand the losers in that particular game. In other words, it tells us nothing. The "reason" it works for dat...

Yeah. Things can change though. It seems Noddy and Ibrahim get the gist of what I am saying even if the three of us may not agree on a history or proscription for it. Certain characters, which now appear waning, need to be reasserted in order to achieve what you want. The Constitution itself cannot...

Poor Romney is scorned for being inept at deceiving people with his lack of conviction while Gingrich can be lauded for his adept deceit at hiding his.

Founding principles whose disposal started by 1888 in a famous essay by Teddy Roosevelt on how "outdated" the Constitution was... Well it was good for nearly 100 years, I say time for a new Constitutional Century. Live free or die. Well, let's be honest. Eighty. It died at the civil war. ...

we must make everyone 'tolerant' for their own good NapLajoieonSteroids, As most adults who had parents from the "John Wayne generation" can tell you...... the above is definitely achievable. Just doesn't feel very good to be on the learning curve sometimes..... Does make one appreciate n...

That is how some people view government, yes. I view government as a device to secure my God given Natural rights, and nothing more. If it cannot do that or does more than that it is of no use to me and could conceivably be the work of the devil. And this is precisely the view that opens up the gat...

yep, its the right wing social conservatives who are equally as keen as left wing authoritarians when it comes to getting into private spaces and punishing individuals for "wrong choices". it does cloud the arguments with double standards and it does scare off moderates with libertarian t...

I don't need to be a farmer in order to not deal with national insurance exchanges. I think noddy hits the nail on the head- you do need to be apart of the civic bonds, and those civic bonds are becoming more tightly controlled by a select few who decide the international range of acceptable behavi...

Russian people are nation-forming…the great mission of Russians is to unite, and bind the civilization The Germans, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Ukranians, Uzbeks, Kazhaks, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, Moldavians, Kirghiz, Tajiks, Armenians, and Turkmens may see...

This is true. The rhetoric that each party must engage in to whip up enthusiasm during elections bears no relationship to what they will actually do when elected, or what people really want them to do. The level of individual autonomy that hardcore libertarians espouse has never existed in society,...
