@mukome Bush's compassionate conservatism wasn't conservative and the fact that he tried to obfuscate his agenda with a nice sounding word is not conservative either. The need to hide or re-brand an agenda is the domain of the left not the right. Therefore, your point is irrelevant. Also, you sti...

@bizzy17 Read my other post. You're defining neutrality differently than I am

@HolyShizzle I find it funny that a person who denigrates another person's mental acumen and erudition can't even construct a grammatical comment. By the way, shouting is not an indication of a lack of substance. Rather, the volume of one's voice is an indication of passion. Passion may be an ...

@afjetflyr You don't seem to understand how markets work. In a true market system, anyone at any time can enter into your "market" and eat away at your revenue. Big businesses fear this as they are often slower to adjust than smaller firms, so big business lobbies government to put rules into p...

The drug legalization debate is a very emotional topic with zealots on both sides. It is really difficult to cut through the zealotry and the rhetoric to see what is true and what is not. That is why I remain ambivalent to the subject of legalization.

@wolfheinl You need to be more specific. What's the reasoning and evidence behind your statement that pipelines do not create sustainable jobs? What's a sustainable job? As to your point on environmentalism, what do you mean by religion? You and Prager may not be defining the word in the same...

I respect Sowell a lot. He is very thorough in his thought process and research.

@OccupyWallStreetSays You know nothing about me, my point of view, or my habits. I was merely trying to understand your criticism before passing judgment upon it. The fact that you assume that I've been brainwashed or that I've spent too much time following the media is laughable.

@AndroidPolitician Also, Sowell mention's Who's Who's as example not as an authoritative source. Secondly, you have prove that Who's Who is a bad source and what it is a bad source for. You cannot just say that Who's Who is a bad source. You are not an authority on that and you need to speci...

@BioCapsule I don't see the absurdity of the premise. Wanting to believe in God and not believing in God are not absurd when taken togther. Secondly, I do not believe that Cupp has said that she is proud to be atheist. She has said openly that she is an atheist and has not attempted to hide th...

Isn't the question of the extent to which American is meritocratic more consequential? Isn't the question of why conservatives tend to see America is more meritocratic than liberals just as consequential?

@sn00ch I think you may be confusing ideology with point of view and opinion.

I wasn't talking about replacement simply about legal expectations. That was to highlight differences. Namely, private citizens can legally decide who needs a boost and who needs a kick in the pants more easily than government. Those who receive the kick in the pants may be mad, but they are l...

I detest the pretension of new atheists.

We're angry, so let's blame rich people and wall street. That's what this movement should be called. xD

It seems that schiff was trying to argue about what government should and shouldn't do, but the protesters would only yell at him and call him an idiot. Way to make an argument OWS.

Interestingly enough, FDR sold Social Security as a pension program even though it clearly wasn't. One of the biggest issues today is the persistent perception that Social Security is a pension program. If people knew what it really was and what it cost, then they would be much less likely to ...

@silvercelli Agreed. The question that is being posed right now is whether massive debt is good for the citizens long term. My personal opinion is "no." It is looking like we're going to find out.

It's funny how so many of these comments parrot similar opinions. That could be an indication of separate people coalescing on obvious conclusions or the result of inculcation. I'm not sure but I'd expect to see a greater diversity of opinions and am saddened that I don't.
