On most serious issues there is only a small degree of difference between progressives on the Right aka Republicans, and progressives on the Left aka Dems. Think about it, even in war the main difference is that the Stupid Party goes all in with Nation building included which makes us look like bullies whereas the Evil Party just dabbles enough to screw things up and make us look incompetent. They both love war nowadays. Everything else between the parties is just a matter of price and costs: taxes, health care, civil liberties, national security, the environment, etc.

Eric Holder urinates on your sign, Gunshop Owner. Janet Reno says "Waco, mofo. Waco." I'm so happy cons and their other progressive brethren - the libs - love Big Govt...

I think if a colony is a colony and it is revolting against it's owner then "Revolution" is the correct word. If a state wishes to leave then it would secede from a Union that it had voluntarily been a part of, no? Blackwell is enjoying a tempest in a teapot. This is the ONLY thing, Blackwell got from Paul's Farewell Speech?

Can a colony secede, Blackwell?

Ron Paul - the Conscience of the House - farewell and thanks for your service.

Senator Ayatte will be the next nominee for the Repubs. Another Nor'eastern Lib. Hahahahaha

Well hats off to a real American Patriot - a lone voice in the wilderness, the Last Statesman, the Honorable Ron Paul. May we see many more like him and soon!

"Yet the Bush administration did more than praise the Taliban's proclaimed ban of opium cultivation. In mid-May, 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a $43 million grant to Afghanistan in addition to the humanitarian aid the United States had long been providing to agencies assisting Afghan refugees. Given Callahan's comment, there was little doubt that the new stipend was a reward for Kabul's anti-drug efforts. That $43 million grant needs to be placed in context. Afghanistan's estimated gross domestic product was a mere $2 billion. The equivalent financial impact on the U.S. economy would have required an infusion of $215 billion. In other words, $43 million was very serious money to Afghanistan's theocratic masters."

Cons say that WikiLeaks "proves" that Saddam had WMDs. Cons say WikiLeaks Man is a TRAITOR! Cons are hysterically hypocritical.
