  • health care /socialism

    Being against socialism or a government take over has nothing to do with race. It is about money, I have the right to enjoy the fruits of my labor. America was founded to be free, taxation without representation and freedom of religion, etc.-remember. The founders escaped socialism or monarchy to live as individuals having the right to their own ...

  • Procedure or Principle

    Missteps? - Message not getting through? - Language such as this is indicative of what's wrong with America - Critical thinkers are ignored. We are fast becoming a nation of pragmatists who find it easy to forsake principle in favor of procedure. Liberals use the constitution as a 'procedural' document and conservatives tout it as a ...

  • You assumptions can lead to evil

    Why should Apple have to explain what it stocks its store shelves with. Do other stores have to do this? It's none of the government's business. Let the market decide whether Apple is harming consumers. If it is, consumers will flee to Blackberry or Pre. Be careful what you wish for, you might never get another product as good as the iPhone if ...

  • Obama Focus Group

    A poster commented that Obama needs to control the extreme elements of his party, Pelosi and Waxman?!! The extreme radical right-wing nuts are more of a problem for the Republicans, with their unified ''No, No, No'' to everything Obama says, and their efforts to ''break'' him. The President could get more done if the extreme right wingers ...

  • What does Obama stand for?

    What does Obama stand for? Nobody really knows. He is well liked because he speaks elequantly and carries himself well but what does he really say when he is talking? Nobody really knows but it all seems to be appealing to the general public and obviously the author of this article; Notes Toward a Theory of Obama What we've learned so far ...

  • The Socialism of MegaCorp Inc.

    In handling this financial crisis, most commentators seem to reduce it to a sorting process: You take two bins, and label them ''victims'' and ''perpetrators''. Then you consider the people involved in the trouble, and take pains to store them in the right bin. The victims presumably deserve our help, the perpetrators should pay for it. Those ...

  • Re: Will the USA survive Obama?

    Reading these BHO-the-muslim-socialist-terrorist rants on here and Topix, I'm reminded of the old story about Chicken Little. Here's the oldie but goodie, tell me you don't see parallels to how the right wing fever swamps operate in America. And the Fox of this story might be ... a certain 400 million dollar radio loudmouth. Chicken Little ...

  • Class mobility in the EU and the US are the same

    Yup it's true. I imagine it's easier for a Japanese kid to become rich, than an American. But we're living in the American Dreamworld because of the rare success stories. http://www.acces.us/PDF/WSJ.com%20_As_Rich_Poor_Gap_Widens.pdf

  • Kennedy's claims still hold

    Paul Kennedy stated that he believed the relative gains of the US were in decline and given the political and economic realities of empires that this trend would continue. He was right. He didn't claim that in 20 years the US would be in shambles, he claimed that the United State's position as a hedgemonic power was in jeapordy. Again, he was ...
