Stossel is right and it's no accident he supports the only presidential candidate who is serious about cutting the spending -- Ron Paul. I guarantee that if one of the neocons wins the White House the deficit will be just as bad is it would be under a second term of Obama.

The basic issue is whether children should be raised by homosexuals. I wouldn't have wanted to have two gay fathers or two lesbian mothers, so, no, I don't favor homosexual marriage.

The proposals for getting oil from algae all involve selecting specific species and strains that produce large amounts of lipids and then creating a monoculture of that algae in an artificial pond or even in plastic sacks in a greenhouse-like structure. Nobody is proposing harvesting the algae...

Speculators are holding oil because they are betting on a war with Iran. If that war happens, it will be a very good thing that speculators did that because they will then sell their oil -- at a high price, but better than having no oil at all. (In other words, without speculators oil would be...

Compromise is what got us into this mess. What happens if you don't compromise? The worst case -- no new laws. Fine. What happens if you do? More bad laws.

Except that the Republicans are perfectly happy with the process as well.

Yup, I'm a kook, a wingnut, and let us not forget, an anti-Semite because I want peace, fiscal responsibility, and a restoration of the Bill of Rights.

God strike me dead the day I let the mainstream media tell me what to think about another person.

Pat Buchanan is not an anti-Semite but is called an anti-Semite by Israel firsters because he thinks we should treat Israel like a normal country. If you don't want to give Israel billions of our tax dollars each year or spend hundreds of billions of dollars and give up tens of thousands of...

I am not an Israel hater, I am an Israel neutralist. I care about Israel to about the same degree as I care about Sri Lanka or Bolivia. I don't hate any of those countries but I see no reason for me or my fellow citizens getting involved in their feuds. I do object to Zionists dragging us...

Al Qaeda is working with the forces trying to get rid of Assad. So americanhero is on the same side as Al Qaeda. I knew it!

My view entirely. Good God, another Bush???? Have Americans learned NOTHING? As for Marco Rubio, he almost got us into a war with Russia: http://buchanan.org/blog/marco-rubio-vs-rand-paul-4959 Only Rand Paul stopped him.

No, Buchanan is just saying what he's always been saying. He opposed the Iraq war from the start. His magazine, The American Conservative, endorsed Ron Paul in 2007. Pat Buchanan is a paleoconservative, which is nearly the opposite of a neoconservative. Paleocons like limited government...

I'd be the last one to defend "compassionate conservative" George W. Bush. But I have to say this, the Democratic opposition to Bush's policies was tepid to say the least. Most of them voted for the wars, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Patriot Act. Most of them favored his...

If you look at Max E. Pad's chart you can see that the debt/GDP ratio went up every year Democrats controlled both houses of congress. That was true 1987 - 1994, before the mortgage crisis was even imagined. As for the recent crisis, I blame both parties. Both the Democrats and the...

Yes. Speculators were just as "greedy" 20 years ago.

There is always speculation in the oil price, as there is in any commodity. So what? There was speculation 20 years ago, too. That doesn't explain why oil is higher now than it was then. Speculators always get blamed when the price of a commodity goes up, they never get credited when the...

Obviously money printing can only be bad for the price of gas, but there's more to it than that. Hundreds of millions of people in India and China are now reaching the point where they're getting their first car. The demand situation in the Far East will dwarf whatever we do here in America...

Thanks, Max E. Pad. Even though Democrats love to give Clinton credit for shrinking the deficit in his second term he was able to do that only because Republicans controlled both houses of congress.

From the article: "Yet one of the supporters of that controversial 5-4 ruling, Sandra Day O'Conner, has since retired and her replacement, Justice Samuel Alito, is not seen as sympathetic to affirmative action." This is a curious bit of analysis, because it leaves out the two new kids on...
