Remember for liberals the end justifies the means. All this insider trading, Weiner's exploits, Rangle, Dodd, etc. are fine because at least their hearts are in the right place.
Agreed! What he failed to mention in that quote is that our 3% of the population produces 24% of the goods and services in the world. Energy usage% = GDP% for any nation. Want us to be great? MAKE ENERGY CHEAP AND PLENTIFUL!
We used to do that. Now "shame" has been removed because of 'political correctness'.
THAT was a travesty. If the GOP nominee wanted a great campaign backdrop, that is it. Instead, we should have invested more money into reclaiming more land for food production and business, not less.
Worse, the hidden cost increases. When 32 oz. becomes 30.5 oz. in the same carton. Or that 12" pizza gets thinner and becomes 11.5". ' The cereal box gets thinnner. Of course the government doesn't count that nonsense (or food or fuel as a whole) in inflation numbers. My bet is we are at 10-12%.

Simply put, there is no peaceful version of Islam. Either you believe the Koran or you don't. You either believe that conversion should be coercive or violent or you don't. You either believe in the subjugation of women or you don't. Adams is right about the classics of Western thought. Or warnings about loss of freedom like 1984? What about warnings concerning political correctness gone too far like "Harrison Bergeron"?
Here is the idiocy of this argument used by the greenies to push their guilt onto the American people. We are only 4% of the world's population, yet consume 22-24% of the world's energy. Evil people. Wasteful, selfish pigs now aren't we. Here is the truth. We ARE 4% of the population, we DO consume 22-24% of the world's energy, but we also produce 22-24% of the world's goods and services. In fact if you look at ANY nation energy consumption matches GDP output with virtually no discrepancies. The purpose of this "Agenda" is to redistribute wealth from countries that produce to corrupt, backward nations that don't. Only a fool would think non-democratically elected leaders of these nations would use it to improve the lives of...
Glad she took a break from beating up Barry to tell us the truth we've known for some time. She proves that affirmative action doesn't necessarily move the best people to the top...
Union cry-babies. I contribute 30% to my employer provided health plan. Why can't these people? What is special about them? I have a Ph.D. and train the doctors, dentists and professionals or tomorrow, what do they do that justifies not having to pay a dime for their own health care? I contribute 50% to retirement which is matched by my employer, or I can opt out. Again what is so special about these people that they can't put a dime toward their own retirement? I can also choose plans that are private and do not put an undo burden on my employer. I love the story of the teacher whining that she has to tutor on the side. Sorry, honey, most working and middle class families sacrifice like this all the time. What makes you...
Until they recognize Israel, there can be no peace. Done. Any state you give them will then be the same staging area for attacks on Israel but with recognized borders and a capital.
