Well Jesus hasn't returned a call in over 2,000 years. Is it time to move on?

The poor (all liberals) hate the rich (almost all conservatives) while consuming the goodies begged or extorted from them. If my dog kept biting me I would stop feeding him.

The poorest should now pay the highest tax rate; the richest pay less and less until the very rich pay no taxes at all. Now there would be big incentive to earn more money. I like it.

I see TV ads where companies state that their service can be processed in "The Cloud." What is this reference?

Or at least appoint a Special Prosecutor?

I really don't get it. The way it is described, I don't want to go. I don't see any upside. First, you have to leave your body behing and be some kind of eternal cloud-thing that can't eat or drink, touch or feel. If you met a lost loved one there, you couldn't even hold hands. Sounds like being in some kind of coma where your mind still works on some level, but you can't even move your fingers or blink your eyes. Just unplug the machine and let me go, I don't want to live that way for a month, much less for eternity.

How could they, if ya gotta do the born-again-thing through Christ to get there?

Sooner or later the government will not be able to keep all of its cradle-to-grave promises. What will you do when the gravy train screeches to a halt? Will you riot or get a job?

why is it wrong for me or my gang to do the same? Is theft really wrong? What if you steal for a good cause? Or, if I just need something. Are'nt my needs important too? If you worked and earned something, it is yours. Your property. But if someone else needs it, government can take it away. Everything government gives away must be taken from somebody first, and the giveaways are growing very fast. If Needs trump Property, it is dog-eat-dog. Woof!

It seems to me that the SCOTUS has interpreted the inumerated and limited powers of government in such a way as to make anything possible except the natural rights of all people, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Women's rights? Worker's rights? Gay rights? Animal rights? etc.?

I want to add one of these to grow over an arbor in my back yard. Both will grow here (Sacramento, CA) but I have never grown either one. What are some plusses and minusses about each?

Congress is a dysfunctional institution obstructing his brave new vision for America. Shouldn't he just take over? He could suspend the 2012 Elections under a state of emergency and rule by Executive Orders. What would our Country look like if he had his way on everything? Would you want to live there?

Maybe we could make them States and give them Unemployment Insurance for two or three years too. Surely we can afford it. And how about Mexico too? Socialism might work (this time) if we just make it bigger and bigger and...
