Jack, got anything informative to say? Or will you just blather on with your childish opinions and blind party worship?

It isn't the government's purpose or place to create "equality," only to enforce the law equally. It isn't the government's place to do anything regarding wages either. The only things government can do in the private sector is distort markets to the point of dysfunction. Ridiculous, counterproductive regulations, unions and minimum wage laws create unemployment by artificially pushing the cost of labor beyond its value. All Obama knows how to do is confiscate the earnings of citizens and turn them to his unproductive pet projects, i.e. the myth of "green energy." Obama is an incompetent joke when it comes to matters of free commerce. He has shown over 5 years that he hasn't the slightest clue how to get the economy moving again.

Nothing is "taken" without compensation. I have done many small pipeline right of way agreements and the landowners are always compensated by the corporation.

Hilarious!! Good one!

But Rob2, incumbency doesn't alter good DNA into bad. It's a matter of character. One of my Senators is Dr. Tom Coburn. I was proud to vote for him twice because he is a man of sturdy and decent character who has remained disgusted at the corrupt, thieving sideshow that is Washington DC. He's one of the few that will walk out of DC the same honest man he was when he walked in. On the opposite side of the coin there are the Chuck Schumers of the world...

And they still vote after they've been murdered.

HenryVIII wrote: "I have watched the behavior of libturds for years; they vote party loyalty even if it financially and Constitutionally injurious" Exactly right. With libs, it's always party before country, party before truth, party before liberty. Their devotion to party tells the tale, they are all about their own power and zero about liberty and personal responsibility. Corrupt government always rushes in to fill the void left by the lazy and irresponsible.

It remains to this day the democrats' best weapon with which to buy the votes of low information voting parasites.

60 minutes? Is that still on the air? I haven't watched that wretched liberal advocacy propaganda show in at least a decade. It is so utterly predictably kind to all things liberal there's no reason to watch.

@ppotts: What a bunch of bull. Look at those whom the federal government "helps." They are treated like children and wards of the state. I work with many Indians in Montana, including those who left the reservation. Those who left are BY FAR better off than those who subsist on the crumbs the government scatters before them. Original inhabitants? Says who? How far back do we go to establish "first?" Tenure? You mean that laughable liberal notion that has ruined university instruction and kept lazy teachers drawing paychecks. You liberals are ridiculous the way you can completely ignore you total failure in issues by bathing in your good intentions. Liberals ruin everything they touch, especially individual liberty.
