The New York Times As Holy Writ

Actually it's the same kind of exaggeration as liberals saying that they'll work 120 % on (scr*wing up) something. And we wonder why "educated" liberals (often from Ivy League schools) can't use proper English.
One poster wrote, " Right now, today in Dearborn it is against the law to speak of Christ to Muslims....you will be arrested for inciting a riot if you do not stop." Can anyone post more information about this? If this is true then it is a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution and the police should be arrested.
He needs to consult an "Ingris Gamma" book.
So counter the posts that you think are racist with some thoughtful comments about them and the USA . Or don't you know anything to say outside your ad hominem statement? Little or no knowledge about American history, society, culture, economics, law, values, etc? Show us that you actually know something and can articulate it. You must be a Democrat since you seem incapable of argument.

The Truth about Social Security

I have a different perspective. I am not going to talk about all the mistakes made in SS. Most of us know that 1) the government cannot be trusted to use our tax dollars wisely and 2) politicians constantly lie. So why depend on Social Security to fund retirement? The govt is not your friend. The govt is always seeking to tax you and waste it. People should invest their available money (after SS) in whatever they choose and be willing to accept the risks involved instead of overspending. This means to take advantage of every way to save some money and to try to make good investments. Put the responsibility on yourselves instead of depending on the govt. Don't count on SS as a major part of your retirement. Consider it...

JMO51 wrote (6:11 PM) that, "Rights come from the government." Elisabeth responded (6:22 PM) that "All [men] are created equal. All are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them are life, liberyt & the pursuit of happiness." So there we have the Division: Leftists believe the Govt is the Source of our Rights while Rightists believe that Rights from from God. In the Leftist belief system, since Rights from the Govt then the Govt can arbitrarily cancel any citizen rights, especially the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. Also since obviously God is Dead, no Rights can come from Him (Her). So Leftists worship the Govt as the Source of all wisdom and power and consider humans worthless. No...

As I remember being taught at universities, and read in many history books (I have a degree in History) , the Revolution that many revolutionaries looked back at was the French Revolution, not the American Revolution. Your brief answer is unclear. Please espound.

Interesting points: 1) "what real guy would chose that name?, 2) "a lot of closeted gays...who hide behind the persona of manhood versus the substance". What is Manhood? Can it be reasonably measured? Or do we just enter the realm of thoughts, feelings, prejudices, biases, stereotypes, etc. And descend into the quamire of subjectivity, especially insults?
