    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi TAL, Sure, homosexuals are so oppressed here in the U.S. Please. By the way, in every state that has put on the ballot gay marriage has been defeated (30 states I believe). Well, let me explain it to you. As we spent more on our military this forced the Soviets to spend more on...

    Obama sends in 30000 troops to Afghanistan

    Hi tumbleweed, The way the money is collected is immaterial. Seyorni said we spend more money on defense than social programs. Since Social Security and Medicare are social programs controlled by Congress they would be included in money spent on social programs. And this is more than defense...

    Government fails Oher, Rich Christian family saves him

    Hi Smoke, This is such a contradictory point. Should countries that are poorer than us not be allowed have businesses? If your response is that they should be paid a 'fair' wage it is a moot point because the country is poor in the first place. The poor country isn't going to have a...

    Obama sends in 30000 troops to Afghanistan

    Hi tumbleweed, So, taking out our most expensive entitlement programs makes it that we spend more on defense than social programs. That's not surprising, but why would you arbitrarily remove Social Security Medicare from our budget?

    Government fails Oher, Rich Christian family saves him

    Hi Smoke, Some would, some would go to businesses that could hire some of these people. This proves my point. The company is in business to produce a quality product not to provide Americans with good jobs and benefits. Are you advocating the business make purposeful stupid business...

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Hi mball, Why are teens infected by STDs at a higher rate now than before? I posted the link, if you don't want to discuss it then that's your prerogative.

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Hi angellous, Obviously, being a conservative I believe it is up to each school board as to what it teaches in their sex ed programs. However, I am skeptical of the claim that the 25% of teens that have an STD were taught abstinence only education.

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi TAL, Then your problem is with the American people. Every time gay marriage is on the ballot it loses. The people are speaking and they don't want gay marriage. This has little to do with Palin. Now you are just ignorant of history. Gorbachev, himself, credits Reagan for...

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi mball, Yes and this one Democrat is outdoing any politician of any party ever in U.S. history in giving taxpayer money to corporations. Your outrage seems misplaced.

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Paul, But there seems to be a trend in countries with socialized healthcare: waiting and rationing. Then the decision on who gets healthcare becomes a poltical decision and not a personal decision of the person(s) seeking healthcare.

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi challupa, This makes your system even more cruel. So, people could pay for their own healthcare but the government wouldn't let them. How does this help anybody? This confirms Churchill's adage that socialism is the equal sharing of misery. Why punish people that have the resources to...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Sunstone, You are correct. The per person unit of measure still would be more reliable than per household but you can isolate your search of data according to census figures. How would you adjust it without skewing the data?

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Sunstone, A per person measure is more reliable because the unit of measure cannot change. It is one person and stays one person. Per household as a unit of measure changes all the time. And in recent decades has declined. So, when you use per household income to show that the middle class...

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Hi mball, It looks like we are both guessing here. But it seems to be an important question. What are you talking about? I point to a fact (25% of teens with an STD) and it seems that this is not what it was like before 'safe sex' education. No one here has adequately explained this...

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Hi Contentius, The next step is to show how many of the 25% teens with an STD were abstinence-only education. And a rather simple question to pose is how many teens would have an STD if they abstained from sexual activity.

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Paul, I also believe the NHS cannot overturn basic laws of economics.

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Sunstone, This is a bogus argument. Relying on income per household does appear to show stagnant growth. Of course the reason for this is that the size of a household has changed. Showing income per person shows an increase of 51% from 1969-1996. Liberals have been using the unreliable...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi TAL, That's the Declaration of Independence not the Constitution. Yes, Reagan deserves some blame, for believing liberals in Congress would control spending. Reagan was promised 3$ of spending cuts for 1$ tax increase. He never got that. Which party defended any reform of Fannie or...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Sunstone, Not according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Every income group became wealthier during the Reagan years.

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi challupa, Take a look at the links in posted in my last reply to TheAmazingLoser. The NHS in Great Britain refuse to give painkillers to patients suffering in agony. Babies are born in hallways because of a shortage of rooms. And Canadians are coming to our terrible and inhumane country...
