I figured this would be better in it's own thread. And the point that we've all been trying to make is that you need to look for information in less biased places. You've done an admirable job of toeing the Fox News line, but that doesn't make you (...  [Read More]

I'll admit to not knowing the full history of the source, but I wasn't aware that I needed to know everything about them to use them. Conversely, many right-wing websites are also guilty of supporting hateful behaviour towards members of other partie...  [Read More]

And in the next breath tried to make it seem as though it were a much less grievous offense than the Palin effigy. ET the one you were referring to looked more immature than actually threatening, the added detail is what set it over the edge in my v...  [Read More]

Uh...I'm not sure about you, but when the effigy had an inverted Obama sign on it, and that the "ghost" has a noose around its neck. He also has a McCain sign on his front yard as well. I think you missed this part of the interview: And I...  [Read More]

To be fair they want to make a constitutional ammendment to say marriage is between a man and a woman. Clearly the founding fathers thought it should be okay for dykes and queens to marry. Yes, and honestly I wish this could be handled by the states...  [Read More]

Your not going to explain this? Did you mean “Did you know taxes are on net income not gross profits” or did you mean “Did you know taxes are on gross income not net profits.” I am quite well aware of what the mean. Gross: I...  [Read More]

Federal income tax wasn't enacted until the Civil War. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States) I don't know if they would have been appalled by it, but they chose not to write income tax into the Constitution when they wrote it...  [Read More]

Are you a founding father? If not, how can you be so sure? I can be sure because of the fact because we had the American Revolution and one of the complaints was unfair taxation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independenc...  [Read More]
