"This isn't about being republican, or conservative - this is just being aware and understanding you want to do your best for the environment. You have children and you want to make sure you take caution - not only the health of the economy, but the health of your children."

I would like to say that pollution of local environments has nothing to do with the topic of climate change/global warming.

pollution is a serious issue but that is NOT what's being 'addressed' under the banner of climate change/global warming.

the only 'issue' being addressed by climate change/global warming is money because warming is a non issue. it doesn't exist except in human imagination. We live our lives in an interglacial period, the...

I was born into a situation where my mother had to escape or risk the lives and safety of herself and her children. She was a homemaker and had no/zero job experience and four young kids (I was the oldest). She was also a broken, battered, frightened woman. After three years living with relatives while trying to get my father to grow up and stop being violent, she divorced him.
Mom wanted to be independent. She put us on the dole and got into publicly funded training(post office)then tried to save enough money for us to get off the dole and strike out on our own.
It took seven years and a considerable amount of hiding funds from the government because they would only allow us 1000$ combined savings to continue receiving welfare....

I have seen SOOO much good stuff about how and why this bill is awful and shouldn't pass but let me propose a reason why they continue ignoring us and shoving it down our throats as if we are porn stars looking for a raise. (no pun intended)

If it doesn't pass, even the far left will bolt from under Obama's shadow faster than rats deserting the proverbial sinking ship. He will lose all his power and spend the next two years whining about it while we laugh at him.(in relief)
There are people behind Obama. Thanks to folks like Beck and OReilly, many of them have been exposed as communists/socialists but not all of them have been identified. They continue to lurk and try to steer things in the "right" direction. They make far...

legal American citizens are the most powerful people in the world.
We are free and that is strength.
these illegal immigrants are being done a huge disservice because they are not free.

send us your poor, your huddled masses, we will give them freedom and show you what their true worth is. THAT is America. THAT is the philosophy I cry proud tears for.
I say, send them all back and SEAL the border with strong troops.Let those that want FREEDOM apply and become citizens. The rest can rot. They are parasites.
My America hates poverty but never says 'you can't come here, you're poor'.
My America is a lady in a harbor shouting at the world "you don't want them then let them come here. I will give them freedom and they...

"I see President Obama's current status of zero rhetoric on gun control to be a crouching cat in the grass and nothing less."

I haven't read the whole thread because my eyes started to burn from the strain so if someone has pointed this out, forgive me.

the way the 2nd will be challenged is through the feelgood, heartstring issue of safety.
crime is going to rise as the poverty levels increase. when ever this happens someone inevitably trots out the idea that all guns are un-safe and should be counted. It is through this counting that control will be implemented because they will include the psychological testing of owners to ensure that these un-safe items are not in the hands of nut cases.
anyone who has dealt with...

I've read through this thread and I'm new to this medium but I'd like to comment...

why are you arguing about Oliver North? This seems to me one of the most irrelevant conversations I've read so far.

I would like to say that I think the reason anyone ever talks about legalizing drugs is TAXES.
Does anyone have figures on how much money the taxes on alcohol and cigarettes make for state and federal governments? I imagine it's a lot of money. Legalizing drugs would make even more. Does anyone believe they would legalize it without taxing it?
I think not.

as far as the border goes...close it, defend it, send ALL illegal aliens back where they came from and institute some kind of "Ellis Island" situation for those...

Everyone,
I have a comment about God in our country and it's important.

I am a teaparty member and a 9-12 actvist. I am libertarian not conservative and I'll tell you why.
I believe in and love God my creator. I live by a strict moral code based on the teachings of Jesus. I believe that freedom is a gift from God, that He made us all that way and that any system of government not working 'under God' is working against freedom.
I do not want laws and religion to mix. PERIOD.
for a long time I tuned out of the whole thing(political debate) mostly because I didn't want religion shoved down my throat. The socialist/communist/far left has been very successful in painting the conservative movement as deeply, fundamentally...
