Those who are committing crimes should be brought to justice. I don't care what party it is. Harassing members of Congress or their family members at their homes is just plain wrong. There are far more constructive ways to interact with your Congress...  [Read More]

If I remember correctly, weren't the 1860s-1890s a period of relatively unmoving, small government. If I also remember correctly, that period was plagued by corruption, poverty, and corporate dominance; which in turn, led to the progressive era that...  [Read More]

We have one of the best health nationalized plans in Medicare--if you're 65 or older, or on Social Security Disability. It works well for us doctors, works pretty well for hospitals, and it's at least semi-understandable, unlike many insurance compan...  [Read More]

If you say so. Are you sure it's not buried in 1,017 pages of legalese?There's a search function in the pdf if you want to go look for it. ;) @Totenkopf--it's pretty sad when you get affordable health care in Cuba but not in the US, yes. We all pa...  [Read More]

I'm not sure that it's in there, either, but, from what I've been hearing, it is why they've been so secretive about this bill's contents. There's absolutely nothing secretive about this bill since it's public record. (http://candicemiller.house.gov...  [Read More]

I am one of the poll numbers that was against this bill, I believe it does not go far enough, but hopefully it is better than the same old same that the Republican endorse. It's a start. Not a great one, but considering we had nothing before, we've t...  [Read More]

I expected no GOP members would vote for it. I'm a bit surprised that Pelosi was able to pull it off. She may have more chutzpah/machiavellianism/whatever you want to call it than I give her credit for. I think the only reason this got passed was bec...  [Read More]

Web Rider, Totenkopf, tone it down. The topic is Texas curricula, not Al Gore. Web Rider, if you don't like the answer (or perceived or actual lack thereof), you are not required to answer. No one is required to answer some or even any of someone's q...  [Read More]

There have been a number of events in the US that had a religious basis, and while I think it needs to be worded very carefully, ignoring the effects of religion on US history is foolish. Why did the Puritans ride the Mayflower over? For religious fr...  [Read More]

You can be liberal without being the activist that your mother is, however. I'm pretty liberal on environmental issues (on the theory that if we pollute ourselves so much that we die off, there won't be anyone left to do business). However, the only...  [Read More]

Chavez is a buffoon who also manages to control a lot of oil coming into the US, and has stolen everything of value owned by anyone in Venezuela who he happens not to like. God help South America if he ever decides to start building a real army....  [Read More]
