And how many Japanese would have starved to death, or committed suicide, as they proved in Iwo Jima and Okinawa. It is your own cultural ignorance which betrays you. But hey, that little problem with your theory about the inherent evil in the U.S. is something you hope nobody mentions. Never let the facts get in the way of a good argument is the progressive slogan for all time.

Then Ken, I would advise you to stop breathing and putting CO2 in the atmosphere. As far as 30% increase in CO2 (I will assume your statistic is correct), did you know the population of CO2 exhaling organisms (AKA "humans") have pretty much close to doubled in population in the past 50 years. Research shows that humans exhale approximately 1 kg of CO2 per day. So I guess one of your solutions should be to blow away about 3 or 4 billion people to reduce that "carbon footprint".

Unfortunately, an unintended consequence of your bright little idea about "capital flight" is that NO foreign investor or company would EVER do any business in the U.S.

Ahh, but the government does provide free health care, food, shelter, clothing and a decent education to one group of people in this country.

The problem with the writer's assumptions is that, particularly in the South and a few other areas, the Democrats have always had a strong constituency. See how many Republican governors and Senators have come from Arkansas and Louisiana and West Virginia. A lot of people vote according to tradition and while many in such areas are establishing a new tradition of non-Democrat voting, there are still sizable minorities of Democratic voters in those areas where the author apparently believes they should not be.

Ah the new York Times . . . "Go team go, go team go, Yayyyy Obama" (pom poms shaking, cheerleaders in short skirts jumping. Yes, the perfect picture of the editorial board of the NYT

As far as the "liberal chick" and more men becoming gay, I guess she never heard of the Spartans who were one of the most warlike groups ever (all the men did was prepare for war and fight the war) and yet practiced homosexuality on a consistent basis.
