Ah. Glenn Beck. Fox News. What more is there to say?

I hated government -- even as it was the only thing trying to save me. Here's how, one day, I finally saw the light more . . .

Before realizing his mistake, the candidate told a reporter he saw "the fear" on the faces...of YMCA campers more . . .

Since nearly all politicians of whatever party are "owned" by "big business", it would have made no difference. But that won't change until the Supreme Court reverses Buckley v Valeo, and even then it will most likely be too late.

I don't disagree. But we don't have one. Nor does anyone else. Hence the silliness of the remark than an informed electorate would vote for anyone who isn't a Democrat simply to avoid Communism. It isn't about Democrats or Republicans. To believe that it is leads to manipulation by those who...

That's true. Like "communism".

An educated electorate wouldn't lead to either. But then who has an educated electorate?

Yep. Give me theocratic fascism any day :cool:

The hottest trend in corporate America could prove to be extremely costly for the United States. Chicago-based pharmaceutical company AbbVie, with its pending $53 billion takeover of Irish drugmaker Shire, is just the latest American company to acquire a smaller overseas competitor at least...

What about all the billions you mentioned that are given privately? What has always made America unusual, though not unique, is the opportunity, not the welfare. What say we overturn Buckley v Valeo and treat ourselves to a Congress that isn't on the dole? Perhaps -- just perhaps -- they...

No shock. But then they don't have enormous statues in their harbors welcoming the tired and the poor. But let's not forget that while the US turned away the MS St Louis in 1939, Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands took its passengers in. Again, there are many ways to organize a...
