Congratulations to you, Ms. CA small business owner. God bless you.

"But we wouldn't be in ANY of these messes if we didn't support Israel. The Islamic world wouldn't give a heiny about us, just like it largely didn't care about us before 1948."

In your dreams, Axe. Islamists are out to conquer the world, killing or converting every person regardless of national origin.

The real problem is our reliance on ME oil, thanks to the environmentalist wackos who won't allow us to drill here or build more nuclear plants. We indirectly financed all those Wahabi schools of hate and death by buying Saudi Oil all these years.

Spontaneous, jennifer, rachel, raelei, kimberly, aubergine or who ever you are today. And don't forget to make up some more fables while you are at it about the ACORN scandal.

Giles and O'Keefe accomplished more than we could have hoped for already--Census fires them, IRS refuses to work with them, Congress cuts off their housing funds. Anything more (such as criminal investigation) is gravy.

Iran will get their nuclear weapons and no one will do anything about it. How can they?

"demonize the Roman Catholic Church (whose members are a small minority in america)"

FYI, there are about 70,000,000 Catholics in America--that is nearly 25% of the population! It is the largest Christian denomination in the country; the next largest is the Southern Baptist Convention with only about 16,000,000.

"Claims by people of faith that God wants marriage to be between one man and one woman, apart from imposing faith beliefs on non-believers, selectively ignores the 'fact' that God also appears to want marriage to last a lifetime, create a sexually exclusive relationship, with a woman who’s a virgin on her wedding night."

Not at all. It's merely an assumption on your part that all Christians ignore these biblical requirements. (BTW, the man is supposed to be a virgin, too.) For the record, I believe in the abiding validity of the Old Testament moral law and its punishments. Adultery ought to be not only illegal, but also a capital crime.

The Bible does not forbid divorce in all cases--it is permitted in cases of adultery...

That's a great article, but why did you link it? It supports the conservative (read limited government) position.

As for Soros funding this anti-free market school, is anyone surprised that he is attacking the very system that made him rich? He doesn't want anybody else to get rich now. Kind of like those environazis who seek to stop development on Cape Cod AFTER they have bought their beachfront properties.

This coming from leftists who call Dr. Williams and Dr. Sowell "Uncle Toms" and Condi Rice "Aunt Jemima" and who conducted a high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas.

"If they can not do this, they've become too big, and are unable to be useful in their communities."

Too big, as in too big to fail? Hey, here's an idea...let's tax their salaries at 90%.

Seriously, coop, you are the first leftist on this site (that I know of) who has condemned what is going on in ACORN. Watch out...your comrades may start attacking you now. :)

a Scottish national, just moved back to America because he couldn't afford to live in his home country. Even with his government pension from being a minister there in the past, the cost of living was astronomical compared to the States. So much for European style socialism.
