sigh. you had my hopes up Duke Nuk'em. You really did.

So Cruz isn't exactly sure what Hagel said with regards to Israel or Iran, does not want to judge what's "in his heart", and yet will vote "no" before he's even had an opportunity to investigate or even ask Hagel what he meant. Sounds like he's an excellent rep for the Tea Party. Truth and facts be damned, he's got his talking points, and that's all he needs.

Shall I assume that you then support the rights of convicts and psychologically ill to own guns, RPGs, and SAMs then? I sincerely hope so, as I would love nothing more than to finally meet someone on TH with a logically consistent position.

During George W. Bush's presidency, it was a matter of conservative faith that OBL didn't matter, and what did was a bunch of fictional WMDs in Iraq which could easily be taken in a few weeks by a couple of thousand troops who would be greeted as liberators.

I couldn't agree more! Personally I like arsenic in my water, sulfur dioxide in the air I breathe, and lead in gas for my Hummer. And even if you didn't, what "right" do you have to prevent me from releasing such materials into the "environment". Government has no place here. This is god's country!

Ok, math time kids. A loved one is diagnosed with a pre-disposition to a form of cancer in which treatment is available, but the drugs will run you about $100K a year. This is more than the average family can afford without liquidating all of their assets. So what do you do: a) Withhold this information from the insurance company so that they cover you in ignorance b) Have government regulation that forces the insurance company to renew your policy at a rate that's economical for you, and thus a huge loss for the company c) Force the drug company to sell the drug for less. d) Remove the patent rights of the company e) Get treatment in a country that does not recognize the patent rights f) prepare to die g) other?

wait, wait, wait... these movies have violence and pre-marital you-know-what in them. Isn't our current narrative that they are to blame for the shootings at Newton? The only movies we're allowed to enjoy is the 'Passion of the Christ"... wait, that doesn't work either... oh well.

Please explain to me why defense is "crucial" part of the government, and cannot be out-sourced to blackwater, or whatever company gives the greatest value?

I had no idea the members of TH were so concerned about Canadians. That's really sweet of you. :) Well, rest assured they'll do just fine.

seriously? Speaking as a 'liberal', no-one cares what PETA thinks. I suggest you spend less time worrying about a bunch of wing-nuts, and more time constructing logically incoherent ramblings that make TH such an entertaining blessing.
