    Fox News/Tea Party Railroad??

    Of course as liberals are hysterically claiming that Fox news was responsible for Sherrod's forced resignation (which is false) and anointing Sherrod as the next coming of Jesus Christ it turns out that Sherrod is indeed a loon. In an interview with CNN, Sherrod claimed that Breitbart wants to...

    Man who Videotapes Police Could Get 16 Years in Prison

    Father, It's from an episode of The Simpsons where Homer joins a vigilante group. Lisa, of course, has her reservations and asks the question you asked; who policies the police? To which Homer replies, "I dunno, Coast Guard?"

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi Smoke, When you stumble across some actual evidence supporting your argument, we can continue.

    Fox News/Tea Party Railroad??

    Hi Auto, What planet are you living on? Fox news did backtrack when they realized they based their reporting on an edited clip. Yet, MSNBC didn't correct itself when they accused tea party protesters of calling Congressman Lewis the N-word (there is video of the incident proving that it...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi Smoke, LOL! Are you competing with yourself as to how many laughable caricatures you can make up because you're on a roll? I used to believe the same as you until I actually started reading about the period and spent less time stroking my ego about how much I care about blacks and...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi rakhel, I would say that you both got a pretty crappy education regarding the issue.

    What should be done to get the economy out of recession?

    Hi Sunstone, So the Obama administration is wrong about their own stimulus? Promising that unemployment wouldn't go above 8% and then watching approach almost 10% is heading in the right direction? And, yes a bigger stimulus would've worked, sure. Just ask Europe how well government...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi rakhel, Well, I think we both made the best case we could make. I presented actual evidence (i.e. process of the South's secession, views of Confederate generals and soldiers, race-relations and details on slave life in the South) he simply has repeated that same point over and over again.

    The Military Fights to Defend our Freedom, or absurdist things the news tells me.

    Hi Paul, Iraq oil revenue soars, creating surplus - World news - Mideast/N. Africa - Conflict in Iraq - msnbc.com There were a number of reasons why the US invaded Iraq: 1. WMD threat 2. Saddam's ties to terrorism 3. Bringing democracy to region. And yes, I supported the...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi Smoke, Actually, it looks like your absurd caricature of race relations and slavery in the South has been exploded by actual evidence.

    What are the top 10 things you want the government to do?

    Hi Mercy, But you do believe in the government censoring hate speech, correct? And being liberal I am sure you support campaign-finance laws which is another form of government censorship. So, all and all, not a big fan of the First Amendment.

    The Military Fights to Defend our Freedom, or absurdist things the news tells me.

    Hi Paul, I love it when you guys play dumb. Don't you remember in the 2008 presidential campaign where Obama kept repeating the talking point about Iraq not spending their budget surplus? Guess where they got this surplus? Oh yeah, oil. So, the Iraqi government got a surplus because of...

    What should be done to get the economy out of recession?

    Hi Sunstone, What's the matter, can't talk about Obama's failed stimulus (by his own standards). Looks like you are the ideologue. And the economic growth between 1982 to 2007 was like nothing we had ever seen. The recessions were shorter and periods of really robust economic growth were...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi Sunstone, Well, your analogy works if the Union is seen as North Korea. The CSA never wanted to take over Washington; in fact, the capitol was moved to Richmond, VA to show that the two countries could live side by side in peace.

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi Smoke, Let's take a couple of examples. Howell Cobb, as you mentioned, was governor of Georgia. Now, it wouldn't be surprising of the voters of Georgia knew his politics and I am sure they weren't surprised when he took a leadership role in the CSA. Jefferson Davis was a senator from...

    Causes of the US Civil War and Southern Secession

    Hi Yam, A couple things: 1. You do agree that Lincoln's was wrong in the speech, correct? He claimed that the US could have slavery throughout every state. There is absolutely no evidence that slavery was spreading in the US, even in new states that allowed slavery there was practically...

    What should be done to get the economy out of recession?

    Hi Sunstone, What are the economists saying about Obama's promise that his stimulus would prevent unemployment from rising above 8%? The stimulus failed even Obama's own benchmark and you have the temerity to call Republicans ideologues. That's rich. I would say look to history. The...

    What should be done to get the economy out of recession?

    Hi T-Dawg, You can attach all the strings you want, it isn't going to work. Do a little research on the greatest economic boom in US history (1982-2007), not a lot of strings were attached and the economy did quite well.
