I'd rather be a dead moron who died on my terms defending what I thought was right then in some relocation camp somewhere. Screw that!

It all depends on the threat. I have no faith that under...

Once the 2nd amendment goes, so does this country

It stands to reason that the cost of living will be a major factor that no one has discussed yet. The way I see it once suburbanites get the shaft fully the preverbial you know what will hit the fan....

Plamegate and Iraqgate get the shaft: nomenclature of scandals

Cellar folk:

Well once again a terrible tragedy will be mishandled, swept under the carpet, and obscure the truth on a couple of investigations that are at the heart of our current deployment...

Selective weeding and aid are paradoxal

We are all doomed then

This type of rhetoric is a prelude to a new tyranny. Furthermore, if you read my reply I came out against religion and government, a general spirtuality engenders compassion, we are not androids...

Religion may have no place, but spirituality is needed

It's all well and good to compartmentalize like that, no religion in politics, but secualrism isn't enough, I'm sorry. It's literally throwing the baby out with the bathwater. State sponsored...

ASCE report still makes a good point

Sure there is an issue of bias concerning ASCE, but not to the degree the NEA would. ASCE is hardly that politicized, and civil engineers are not in a lurch for work. Taking even the mildest bias...

We can hope

True 123 we can hope, but definately don't count on GW Bush just crossing his fingers. If he and his buddies do anything, they'll be putting their fingers all over these events.

As proven by the experience of the French Revolution, the Weimar Republic, and the short lived Constitutional monarchy in Russia in 1916-7, sometimes a shaky neophyte democratic government can lead...

The comment was made in reference to the "herretical Rabbi" comment, not onyxcougar directly. If someone only saw the story that way, then its a short sighted pesimistic view in my eyes. The secular...

That's all window dressing and the dogma of it all. As a Catholic, having been read the Gospels at length, I saw the beauty of the words. The compassion it taught, the ability to love others who hate...

The glare of patriotism, the cloud of fear and the gloss of of the "free" press

To be fair, the cracking down on civil liberties and the acceptance by much of the press in the US, and more moderate Republicans is a huge factor in the control that Bush exerts on the US. Fear and...
