When the present bunch that are at the helm of our country today coined the phrase "don't trust anyone over the age of thirty", what they were really saying is that. like most youth, they thought they were smarter, wiser, and more intelligent than their elders. Previous generations out-grew this phase when they had to learn to support themselves and, often at an early age, a family. This portion of that generation never crossed that threshhold and hold no respect for their elders unless their name was Mao or Alinsky!

Progressives leason #1: You've heard of common sense? Forget about it!

I'm confused again! I thought trees were good! No? Maybe if the trees spring up naturally they are good but if they are planted by man they are bad? Even the truely settled sciences are becoming unsettled. Its as if the government was involved in science!

If I were Mr. Mitchell, I would stand in front of those pictures on the wall every chance I got and stare at them with a huge smile on my face to celebrate the present instead of hard-hearted hatred for a past that can not be changed!

It is only fair that the U. S. be brought down to the level of the Gongo in order to achieve equality throughout the world. (The elites are exempt.)

Hispanics are no different than all the other ethic groups who have migrated here for a better CHANCE to live a better life. The difference is that the largest portion are here illegally. The right's stance has been to oppose the illegal act while attempting empathy for the individual. A tough stance but one I fully understand as i lived and worked in So. Cal for 40 years. I oppose the illegal act but once the person becomes my coworker and neighbor, they must be judged as any other human being. This was once a relatively easy stance because most immigrents, legal or otherwise quickly assimilated and blended in. That has changed because of the hundreds of gov. programs and those that make their livings administrating the programs.

If you are wealthy, whether GOP or Demoncrat, you have "people" to whom you pay big bucks , who's jobs are to scour the thousands of pages of tax law to make sure you pay the very minimum. If they are doing their jobs and the tax rate goes up without new loopholes (a rarity) the rich pay more. Since they actually write checks to the IRS it is akin to us mortals getting a larger bill for our mortgage. The Bill Mahers of the world love pushing the truely heart-felt agendas of the left but when it comes time to write the quarterly check to the IRS they suddenly realize that "them includes me". Horrors!

People who have no grounding in their own lives and then become parents will most likely raise kids wthout sound principles! Go figure!

correction: pursuit

Is the GOP's answer to the 'double standard' to jump into the gutter with the other side? The aim should not be a pass for conservatives so that we may join join the all the fun the libs are having living an openly immoral life style and still holding on to their power! Life is not fair! Life is becoming more and more unbearable due to the persute of fairness. Those that preach equaity in outcome for all people always, without fail, exclude themselves from the false security of mediocracy that they profess to be good for everyone else!

As we conservarives said all along! "Occupy Wall ST. should have been Occupy the White House."
