Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Abortion is the answer.

Shorter sentences and more paroles will discourage crime.

Leaders don't matter.

Character doesn't tell.

Moral authority isn't essential in a president.

Television is a cultural boon.

The traditional family is outdated.

It takes a village to raise a child. (Actually, it takes a family.)

Teachers' unions have improved education.

Religion is the opiate of the masses. (Actually, socialism is.)

Give people bread and circuses, and they'll be satisfied.

The masses, unlike you and me, don't know any better.

Government has the answers. (It may not even have the questions.)

And so unbelievably on. Name your own favorite fallacy.

Media doesn't fail us-we do!
Just looking at the comments here demonstrates that the American people have become rabidly issue oriented. Pick your favorite bone and give your best argument--- and when you do, you become a player in the tragic play called "America Today". It doesn't matter if your argument is logical and backed by concrete facts. The bottom line is that we have lost direction, and we demonstrate that, whenever we debate issues. We are so deep in the trees that we cannot see the forest! If you only do one thing on the internet today, use your time wisely: Go to newswithviews.com and READ the comments by Joe American regarding civics and issues as a distraction. You will see that the real crisis in this country is that it is suffering from ignorance of the Constitution and common law, also known as natural law. The myopic views of the various politicians, groups, commentators, et al are reflected in the media. It holds a mirror to OUR faces individually whether you believe it or not. When enough people wake up and see the insanity we call "intelligent discourse" as nothing but a mud bath that includes us all, we will never survive---- as the United States or as a culture. It's your INDIVIDUAL choice. Do you believe in self reliance? Do you believe that these states were established primarily to "insure justice" for the INDIVIDUAL? Do you believe in economic liberty? THEN STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN AND "JUST SAY "NO" to the insanity.

An amazing display of "logic" which should produce incredible cognitive dissonance. Wanting a new GI Bill for the troops is somehow saying "they don't have backbone." Tell that to Jim Webb.
