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Founding principles whose disposal started by 1888 in a famous essay by Teddy Roosevelt on how "outdated" the Constitution was...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,...

It's the people. "Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable." (Proverbs 14:34)

When Ann Coulter completely captures the truth, WTH is going on in the universe. http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/22/coulter-with-newt-gingrich-you-throw-out-the-baby-and-keep-the-bath-water-video/ “Apparently, South Carolinians would rather have the emotional satisfaction of a snotty remark toward t...

Unbelievable. Gringrich? Really? I've never been so disappointed in the good folks of South Carolina. I must say, when I heard the news, among my first thoughts was how Mr.P would be handling this. This is a blowback on the Republican media big time. They have created the whole narrative that Gringr...

Just to add to noddy's list of demands: copyrights have to you know...expire. There are so many things that should be in the public domain by now which keep getting pushed back to benefit people who've made lifetimes off of this stuff. (Check out Disney for example and the fight that Paul MacCartney...

I was being facetious but thanks for posting that site.

...the whole Fed is a headache, everything is a headache- including that zeitgeist video, which is thoroughly disreputed.

The problem is that there isn't enough gold (or precious metals) to base a currency on.

What else could be used? How 'bout...I don't know....carbon

I hope your trip goes well and you and your husband find peace and reward on and from your journey.

Col. Sun, What is the summation of your personal argument for labeling climate research pseudoscientific? I personally find it faulty on poor assumptions and vague conjectures which are constantly reinforced by positive feedback through vanity, money and political pressures. Even I can see the demer...
