Another vote against Mitchell re Rand."Amateur ranblings" for sure! You can eat your cake and have it too: be a big AR fan and agree with her re charity et al.

Capitalism can never die on its own. But is government destroying it? no question!

You forget that we don't have a democracy? We don't have to like an irrational majority rule.

The prinicple of freedom would have Parker - and eveyone - focus on the mandate itself, not simply the religious exception desired by conservatives.

Unfortunately, "stepping up to the plate" also means using all the ammo against Obama that he possibly can; and that requires understanding the fundamental flaws that he has - which Romney probably does not. Hopefully, he will get the intellectual support needed to wake the American people up to realize what our President's ideology truly is.

What a ridiculous statement. Only his prejudice might cause him not to eat the sandwich.

It is time people begin to realize that Obama himself has stirred the pot: his racism has emboldened minorities to raise their racist heads. Opposition had better start speaking out frankly about where he is taking this country with his statist/egalitarian/multicultural ideology.

Capitalism does not breed greed; irrationality does. GS did not act in its own long-term self-interest. Yes, morality is lacking in our culture; but morality is not dependent on religion. Each individual has the capability of acting rationally - independently - witihout harm to others.

I can't understand why so many fail to understand that a woman has a right to her body, and that a decision to abort a fetus that will not be near normal and drastically change the lives of the parents for the worse can be rational.

This is why Republicans will not likely win this year's election. 1. Simply not true 2. Great distortion. If your religion blocks your vision of a woman's right to her body, then you can't speak to rights violations on the Left. 3. Compassion is not strictly being charitable. 4. "Wall of Separation" is certainly implied in the Constitution; it has nothing to do with "hostility." Etc. When you speak so emotionally as here, you lose credibility.
