Speaking of caring for each other: Conservative groups protested the possible housing of Central American children in Vassar, Michigan, on Monday by marching through town, some with AR-15 rifles and handguns, according to The Detroit News. more . . . Reminds me of Little Rock, back in the...

I'm not arguing with you. I am only pointing out that a government that promotes the general welfare -- and that refers to the Constitution, not a "welfare state" -- need not be "big". More important is efficiency. But, again, what is basic is the principle: care for each other or let everyone...

If I may, the "political left" per se is not monolithic. One can argue that many on the left do want "big government", but many do not. Rather they want a government that will protect the weak and promote the general welfare. How "big" the government has to be in order to achieve this state of...

Something we agree on. Except of course substituting "conservatives" for "liberals".

And there's the barbeque.

I got it when you first posted it, though the spelling was so bad I wasn't sure if what you posted was what you meant to post, which surprised me since you try so hard to give the impression of taking great care in what you post, which is supposed to give the impression, one assumes, that you...

French isn't your strong suit, is it?

"Do you recall the part in the Bible where Jesus healed the leper, the blind, and raised Lazarus from the dead? I do. Apparently, Republicans remember those three respective biblical stories a little differently. According to a new YouGov poll, Republican Jesus did indeed heal the leper, the...

Rush Limbaugh. An even better source than YouTube :cool:

"America has long been the incubator of many spiritual creeds going back to the Great Awakening and even earlier. Only one of them, Mormonism, has taken root and flourished as a true religion sprung from our own native ground. Today, however, we have a new faith growing from this nation’s...

Unlike TPs :cool:

Kinda makes you wonder about the intelligence of the electorate. After all, it's been 40 years . . .

"If you think seniors can afford to pay more for Medicare, let’s take another look at that thought." more . . .

And it's taken them all this time to figure this out because policy-makers -- and those to whom they cater -- have no idea what it means to struggle.

I'm not a libertarian but it is not likely that taxing the wealthy would do much to alleviate inequality since the money would be going to the government, and we all know how efficient government is at expenditure (theoretically, the money could go directly to the middle and lower classes in the...

Wow, you read the whole thing in five minutes? I'm impressed.

Millennials are far less partisan than older voters, and their concerns are not being given a voice by either party. And while it’s true that the GOP’s future is about as healthy as cancer, there’s similarly no reason to think we’re entering an era of Democratic ascendancy. more . . .

No rants here, much less about banking, and no mention was made of WWI. Thoughts were "supplied" but you have to work through them, if you want to gain some understanding. If you prefer something that's tied up with a bow, you'll have forgotten it by the time you log off. But thank you...

This isn't exactly pertinent but I'm reminded of the brief but intense reaction to the idea that "the people" foot the bill for the repairs to Windsor castle after the fire. When the degree of the Queen's wealth was publicized, the general attitude was fix it your own damn self. The Queen was...
