They've been raiding social security funds for decades. It's high time they went after the pension funds of the government employees. Fair is fair.

Pity me. I have that jackass as my senator. The only thing my country is good at producing is debt and war and this clown says we're in great shape.

Long ago a constitutional amendment was proposed in which: (1) America could only go to war by a direct vote of the citizenry. (2) Anybody who voted for the war would be eligible for conscription, those who vote against would not be. That was an excellent idea that, alas, did not...

Nothing in the video convinces me that I should want to eat a plant that has been genetically engineered to produce an insecticide in every one of its cells, particularly when there is evidence that that insecticide has damaging effects on mammals.

Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eilDbdLAyFs Then tell me if you *really* want to eat corn genetically modified to produce Bt delta endotoxin (an insecticide).

Beckel sounds like a candidate for the Paul Krugman Award for Excellence in Economic Idiocy.

I wish trading was as easy as predicting politics. Here's the obvious prediction: The Republicans will pick a neocon, who will promise to be George W. Bush II. Obama will win, although by a smaller margin than in 2008, since nobody really believes he's the Magic Man anymore. The...

Yup, they're voting for tax increases instead. (Whether they realize it or not.)

Paul would submit an unbalanced budget the first year, with a $500 billion deficit, $1 trillion smaller than the current deficit. Both parties will utterly reject the budget. If a miracle occurred and congress went along with Paul's budget, by his last year he would be submitting a balanced...

1) Ron Paul 2) Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) 3) Forget about it. Who cares whether it's Newt, Mittens, Santorum, or Obama? We'll just get the same old shit.

Newt is an embarrassment. So is Romney, for different reasons. So is Santorum. Especially embarrassing is how many Christian Evangelists hate the one pro-peace candidate. If Jesus was alive today they'd be the first to nail him to a tree.

My problem with Romney is not that he is rich but how he got rich. He plundered and hollowed out industrial America, closed down manufacturing facilities, fired American workers, sent production overseas, and saddled profitable companies with so much debt they went into bankruptcy. Yes...

The motive for operation Fast and Furious is obvious. Send U.S. made guns to Mexican drug lords. Sit back and watch the mayhem they cause, including the murder of American citizens. Make sure everybody knows that the evil drug lords are using American made guns. Use this to argue for much...

I loathe the media and Newt Gingrich. I'm not partisan in my loathing.

During the Bush administration they passed the Patriot Act and Bush was happy to sign it. There went the 4th Amendment. I note that conservatives always complain about Democrats not following the constitution and liberals always complain about Republicans not following the constitution when...

Ron Paul is the most honest man in congress. (Granted, the bar isn't raised very high there.) So despite having some disagreements with the man (I think we need somewhat more regulation than he does) I'm voting for him. Other Republicans say they like many of Paul's ideas but can't stand...

My best guess is that if Ron Paul does not get the nomination he will endorse Gary Johnson. Paul will never endorse the borg. You are correct that Ron Paul will not be able to do domestically anywhere near what he wants to do, because congress will oppose him every step of the way. But I also...

So we have a Constitutional right to cut off the hands of thieves. And men have the Constitutional right to have up to four wives. Who knew? I'm surprised that decision came from the Tenth Circuit Court. Usually it's the Ninth Circuit Court that makes all the nutty decisions.

If I want to find out what is the current position of the Communist Party I watch MSNBC. If I want to find out what the hell is going on in the United States of America I watch Russia Today. This country is much, much weirder than I would have imagined 30 years ago.
