Well you're definitely not right. The US has some of the lowest business taxes in the world. Here's an article from KPMG about it: http://www.kpmg.com/global/pressroom/pressreleases/pages/Hugevariationinbusiness.aspx Also not correct. Bush sent you your kids' money that hasn't been...

Hard to say who will kill them, the "terrorists" or the ones who'd sacrifice their rights to habeus corpus. It's only a 700 year old human right, I'm confident that it was necessary to get rid of it because we know better.

It's shocking how the "patriots" have zero confidence that the constitution was well thought out. It seems like the "patriots" think that following the constitution is suicide. You're okay with a Democrat president having the ability to wiretap the Republicans?

9/11 didn't cost a trillion dollars. One war was not a bad idea, the other was optional and is the expensive one. The Republicans decided to "finance" the wars by using off-budget emergency appropriations so the Republican debt they ran up doesn't include the war costs. I really don't see...

Because the lower incomes don't pay taxes. The more who don't pay taxes, the lower their average incomes. This is called "counting your chickens." And if they do win, they are similar to the Democrats in philosophy. Same with France and the UK. Would you like a Ford with that dodge...

LOL. I ran my own business for years. One year I paid 19% in taxes. Try another approach as that one won't work with me. No more than the Bush "stimulus checks" were somehow class warfare.

He's not talking about a tax cut overall. Well the tax burden will increase, although not by trillions unless you're discussing a long term time frame. But that's the nature of voting in the Republicans and doubling the national debt.

Well, frankly, no. Terrorism rates are much higher than they were after 9/11 and before 2003 when the US invaded Iraq. You can see by 2002 that it would have been more productive to do nothing at all than the mistake of Iraq. I don't think he's preaching a "tax them to death" philosophy --...

Or you could try defending a different position with rationality and clear arguments, thereby reaching a compromise.

Nobody likes taxes. The Democrats just seem to think that it's unfair to constantly hammer the next generation with fake tax rebates and more debt. This is called "paying the bills."

They were in favor of graduated taxes, not flat taxes, and specifically warned against allowing the poor to exist as it was a threat to the stability and education of the nation. (In fact, Jefferson warned against allowing extravagant wealth.)

Everybody has a stake in the Federal Government. The fact that 40% have no federal tax liability is partially because the Republicans have allowed massive income disparity. You're wrong there. First off the conservatives in Canada are a minority government, secondly they are about as left...

How, if we're not there? Pakistan's going to invade the US? Well that's Obama. Same exact position.

The point, since you've apparently missed it, is that most people are fine and only a small fraction of fundamentalists cause problems. This is the issue with extremism, and absolutist beliefs, that this absolutism brings with it a certainty that one is doing "God's Work" (or Allah's work)...

Honestly Pabst, and I mean this genuinely not sarcastically, did you think the war was going to be free?

It is hard to believe that they thought this. Can you supply a quote or two? I know that Jefferson had debates with Adam regarding the deification of Jesus, (ie. Jefferson felt that this was false) but I'd like to see any quotes you can provide.

We must defend our ideals... by sacrificing them.

She also believes that "under God" was put in the pledge of Allegiance by the founding fathers, rather than just a recent thing.

That could be true. Actually refinery capacity has grown massively over the past decades. In fact, so much so that old refineries were cheap to buy. Here's what one company said in 2004: "Mary Rose Brown, a spokeswoman for Valero Energy Corp., says the current economic situation does...

The guy who shot up a Unitarian Church was a Republican who wrote two pages on how he wanted to kill "liberals." Timothy McVeigh, who was a registered Republican and a member of the NRA, decided to blow up a federal building. George Bush, with the support of the Republican party, declared...
