I have some issues regarding voter initiatives after having lived in CA for 8 years. People hired by companies to get signatures to get initiatives on the ballot would ask passers-by simplistic questions like "Are you for protecting mountain lions? If yes, please sign this petition." I watched people signing these petitions without knowing or even asking what the proposal actually read. If the initiative received the requires signatures they were put on the ballot. The initiatives were never explained fully before the election and the same people never bothered to find out the intended or unintended consequences. A lot of bads laws were written as a result. This is a democratic republic. I vote for leaders in whom I have confidence to...

Exactly how I see it. Leftist fems who sympathize with muslime causes, but who's rights would not exist under islamic law. What a bunch of idiots.

Michael Moore comes across like a fat pig eating out of the pig trough. Why would anyone think anything he has to regurgitate is worth listening to?

I don't know WTF the rest of you are giggling about (fems), but Ann is right on as usual and damned funny about it!

Professor, I have to agree with your logic though it pains me. I was a fool at age 18 and believed the liberal BS being touted as "open-minded" and "progressive." It was a few years later that I saw the light by my own experience and observation. I can relate to Ann and her follower's frustration, but cannot argue against your rationale.

Good point. There wouldn't be people and corporations asking for political favors if the Fed didn't have the power to grant them.

A CATO institute study showed that more Republicans pay more taxes than Democrats. So this report is bogus.

The left really doesn't want racism to end. They need this "enemy" to illicit emotional responses from their constituents, rather than rely on reason and reality to gain control and retain power.

Max: I don't think you get it. The Supreme Court was not given the power to rule on how much money anybody can spend on anything.
