I am a born and raised Texan, a born and raised Catholic, and by all rights a Christian Right Wing Conservative, and proud of it. I have a BS in construction science from Texas A&M University, the best University on the planet. Gig 'em Aggies!
Are there any books that explain liberal theories and what the results of liberalism would be?
There are a lot of books that are considered conservative, and explain what liberal means will lead to a certain end, i.e. Ayn Rands "Atlas Shrugged" and "Fountainhead", George Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm", and Huxley's "Brave New World". Do liberals/socialists have any comparable books that lead to a positive end? I'd love to see any theories or examples of how liberalism/socialism could possibly succeed.
14 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCan the media quit pretending to not be biased, now?
Here are three AP stories that are all visible as soon as I open up Yahoo this morning:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/cvn_measure_of_a_nation...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080904/ap_on_el_pr/cv...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20080903/pl_mccl...
Please at least read the first few lines of each before responding, and notice that the liberal press is immediately trying to dispute every assertion made my Republicans at the RNC. Now find me some articles where the press disputed anything Democrats said at the DNC. This bias is getting pathetic. It's going to bite the Dems in the butt this time, though.
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCan liberals admit when they are wrong?
If it was ever possible for liberals to admit when they were wrong, now is the chance. Admit that we were never in a recession, and that we won't be in a recession.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080828/ap_on_bi_go_ec...
Maybe once we get past this, libs can admit that Bush allowing offshore drilling had enough impact on futures to help lower gas prices and positively impact the economy, despite the BS ethanol requirements.
13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoInflation Solution?
Consumer prices are going through the roof. No surprise with the cost of fuel and corn. The obvious solution is to drill for more oil, refine more fuel, and quit putting our food in our gas tank. However, Democrats don't agree with these solutions. What are the Democrats' solutions to fight this incredible inflation?
5 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre conservatives really happier than liberals?
A new study says so. I like the logic behind the study, too. Liberals think they deserve more than they have, and conservatives think they have what they earned.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080507/sc_li...
That explains a lot of the whining and crying from liberals on YA. They're just not happy people!
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCan you actually die from a lack of health care?
This article seems more like political posturing.
"How did little Johnny die? Was it some disease? Was he hit by a truck?"
"No. It was a lack of health care. Fourth case this week."
Why can't they say that children are dying from diseases which could be cured by basic health care? Either way, notice that the children dying from this "lack of health care" aren't in America. I guess the health care here isn't so bad after all!
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow sad are you liberals that you'll have to wait another six months?
to find out if we will ever have been in a recession?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080430/ap_on_bi_go_ec...
Not that the facts will prevent you from saying that we are in a recession, but you have to have two consecutive quarters of negative growth, and we just had another quarter of positive growth. That really slows down the "Blame Bush" train. How can you blame Bush for a recession if we don't have a recession? I'm sure you'll figure out a way.
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs Rush Limbaugh's ploy really failing?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20080423/cm_then...
Whether Republicans are actually registering as Democrats to vote for Hillary in the primaries or not, the fact of the matter is that Hillary is still hanging on. As long as she stays in the race, she and Obama will keep beating each other up, and McCain will just keep going up in the polls. I don't see a failure on Rush Limbaugh's part, do you?
And skip the Rush hating speech. I know. Democrats hate him, whether you've actually listened to him or not. That's not related to the question, so please spare me.
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDoes this prove that the Republicans are not the party of the rich?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080421/pl_polit...
McCain has raised $72 million for his presidential bid, while Obama has raised $236 million, and Hillary has raised $195 million for hers. Where all all of these rich Republicans that the Republican party supposedly represents? Where are all of these rich Democrats coming from, that supposedly don't exist?
19 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIn a liberal's mind, what would be the best possible result concerning Global Warming?
What exactly would you imagine taking place, and in what time frame could it possible happen?
I answered a question earlier, stating:
If it were proven that the planet is actually in a state of warming, even though the temperature has stayed the same for the past ten years,
and If it were proven that this warming was caused by man made activities, even though we don't put out even a portion of the CO2 as volcanoes, wild fires, etc.,
and if all mankind agreed that this was the case, and decided to do something about it,
What do you think would happen? Is it even realistic to shut down industry and transportation enough to curb global warming? How soon could an alternative fuel be discovered, and universally implemented? What dream world would you have to live in to think that we can just alter the planet's climate pattern right quick?
13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHave you ever seen more blatant proof of liberal media bias?
If you watched this video, you would think that no soldier is voting for McCain. Every single soldier interviewed says they support Hillary or Obama. There could be no greater misrepresentation than that.

I wonder how much faster this war would end if we weren't fighting the Democrats in Congress and the media, along with the terrorists.
21 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhere does Obama get his military knowledge to make statements like this?
Is it all of his military experience, or just all of the years that he has spent in close contact with the military, especially all of the highly trained gay military personnel that he spends time with?
Or is he completely full of crap? Seriously, how many gay military people that have Arab-language capabilities do you think have been kicked out for being gay?
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre there any links to Bill Cosby blaming blacks for their own problems?
I keep reading all of these comments about Bill Cosby, but I haven't seen any of his quotes.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDoes Clinton have the solution to the Chinese vs. Tibet problem?
It looks like she has a method that will work for a free Tibet, and also improve the situation in Darfur. She is brilliant! All Bush has to do is not go to the opening ceremonies at the Olympics! Then China will say, "Bush didn't go to our opening ceremony. I guess we ARE wrong. We hereby declare Tibet free, and we will send troops to Darfut to stop all genocide."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080407/ap_on_el_pr/cl...
Brilliant!! The one global event that is supposed to be pure competition, without politics, and she wants to politicize it for absolutely no gain. Let's vote for her for President!
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow long until Hillary figures it out?
It has nothing to do with any advisors, or pollsters, strategists or campaign managers. She is losing because she is a bad person, untrustworthy, selfish, and power hungry.
Keep firing you staff, Hillary. That will help your constituents see your soft side!
6 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs this more proof that global warming is a hoax?
U.N. Forecasters: Global Temperatures to Decrease
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,346310,00.html
Global temperatures have not increased since 1998, and are now forecasted to decrease. Did Al Gore's slideshow already have this much impact, or was it a Global Farce all along?
I don't want to hear any of that "Fox News" bias crap, either, just because they report both sides of the story instead of solely the liberal side. If you don't believe me, try actually reading it.
6 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDoes this sound right? Dems vote for self-interest, Reps vote for Nation's interests?
Examples:
Elderly vote Democrat because Dems promise more social security
Gays vote Democrat for more gay rights
Blacks vote Democrat for more stuff for blacks
Poor people vote Democrat for more free money
All Democrat voters want free stuff for themselves, while the Republicans just want the government to get the hell out of their way so they can be productive.
20 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDid any of you ethanol suckers not see this coming?
Prices of corn skyrockets, while supplies of corn dwindle. How can this be? Prices of meat skyrocket due to increased cost of feed. Why? Because feed is corn based.

I would like to find out whose idea it was to mix the agriculture and fuel markets, and kick them in the balls.
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDemocrats, how would you leave Iraq, and how soon would you do it?
Do you see in repercussions to this, and do you care?
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow can I invest in Terrapass so I can make some money off of carbon credits?
Is it a public firm? Can I buy shares? I might as well make money off of these fools as long as Al Gore is. Also, once the global warming hoax is proven false, I would gladly sacrifice my investment to be through with this silly controversy. Call it "hedging my bet". If I make money, great. If I lose due to the silly global warming scam ending, great.
