Wow! I guess every single founder just discarded it to! Do u have any evidence, and i mean ANY at all, that the 2nd amendment does not convey an individual right? because i've at least looked and can't find anything, not even a shred of evidence from back then. also the rest of the BoR grants...

no, they don't, because that isn't how the Constitution was written, and one of the Jefferson quotes lucrum posted clearly states "no freeman shall be debarred the use of arms." Also, I suppose in your opinion, that the early generations of Americans, including the very first one, just imagined...

It takes true genius to be able to 'interpret' a different meaning of the statement, than what those who wrote, ratified and explained in their own words, said it means. btw OP, what does this have to do with economics?

On colbert last night (which i rarely watch) i heard tingles say that "at the end of his term, Reagan will still be a better President than obama." ouch. Now i didn't watch the whole segment so i'm not sure this is in context.. i know they were talking about the cold war and contrasting it to...

this little gang is unbelievably douchey. check out these vids, skip the first two http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3cd_1380579664, allegedly taken by the same tool who recorded the video we saw. He posted them on youtube lol. here u can see them riding on the wrong side of the road...

that is strange, i'm sure there is more to it than we see in that video but it's clear that some fool cut this family off and tried to make him stop. he started that shit, and then it looked like the guy was talking to them and something made him hit the - fuck this - button and run them over...

You mean like by saying no to the commies who feel they are entitled to health insurance, homes, jobs, phones, tax credits etc.?

i don't doubt the reps will cave, that wasn't even an claim i made. I said this is the right thing to do and they shouldn't puss out.

what does it tell you when 850000 gubberment employees get laid off and nothing happens? And they try to make it hurt. I think they should lay off the whole dhs, tsa, and anyone involved in the nsa big brother project.. forever. truly non-essential.

his stock keeps ticking up in my book. seems to be a principled dude.

I'm all for a real shootout between the Senate and House (CiC too). :D

totally agree, send it over piece by piece. I can't disagree more with what i was hearing on the news last night. This is the wrong fight blah blah. This is the only fight, and the reps need to stand their ground and not cave. the debts have to be paid and the ceiling has to be raised...

no stroke buddy, i wasn't talking about the size of govt to begin with, but the size and rate of growth of entitlement spending relative to the whole. And tax rates are not as good of a measure as spending to determine the size of govt.

haha are u posting this to make it look like this is why i edited my last post? that is really smart though making a list of all taxes, true genius. And how have you managed to change the topic into tax rates?

Our govt is larger than many, if you are going to spend money you have to pay for it. What's good for the US is far LESS SPENDING and lower taxes. Also, another look at our posted tax rate of 26.9% on that table made me choke on the sandwich i was eating. LOL most other countries don't have...

1) You're wrong according to your own chart. Spending as a % of GDP in the US is up there above several notable 1st world countries and only a few % points lower than many European socialist govts, and it has increased massively over time. Also, just because our tax burden is lower than most...

I disagree. The less our govt costs, the lower the cost of living. By "making work" we are raising the cost of living. In our system (and every other one), govt jobs are a net cost to society. Govt workers are paid with tax revenue, less govt employees and services = less taxes. people...

It is funny (in a fucked up way) how far people are willing to go to defend this garbage. Check out this graph from npr of all places: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/05/14/152671813/50-years-of-government-spending-in-1-graph does anyone really believe that illegitimate social...

says who that medical and defense costs are too high? And where in the Constitution that you were using to defend the dems just the other day, does the federal gov have the authority to spend on education and infrastructure? The 18 months thing is also funny, like the cap'n said, once a...

What does that matter? the bill isn't in pieces, it's the whole package that has to be considered. More importantly, it doesn't matter if "the people" like it or not, the majority would also like it if the fed govt (present and future taxpayers) bought them a house and cars, but that wouldn't...
