If I recall correctly, it wasn't the Democrats who said "these aren't the WMDs you're looking for" - that was the conclusion from the Pentagon's own report. They already knew about this stuff, and they already knew it was degraded and useless - and they were never looking for it in the first place, ...

Sadly, Mr. Hayes has expressed in the past that he believes Islam to be intrinsically violent and hateful religion The way it's currently being taught by a great many imams, ayatollahs, etcetera, it is...for the same exact reasons that once upon a time we had bishops and archbishops and popes decla...

But bear that in mind: the process takes at least one generation. The current generation may be swayed to some extent, but it will not be until Islam once again teaches its children to be sages rather than martyrs that this war will truly end. Sadly, Mr. Hayes has expressed in the past that he beli...

Glib words. How do we enact such a resolution without just exterminating everyone with dusky skin, tho'? . Interesting. Once again we see the switch flipped that makes certain people equate "effective warfare" with "genocide." I find it equally interesting that your initial post advocates preemptiv...

Glib words. How do we enact such a resolution without just exterminating everyone with dusky skin, tho'? That's the real problem with this whole "terrorist" thing; we could nuke every Islamic nation in the world into glowing slag, flash-fry every man, woman, and child who had the misfortune of being...

That the US may or may not have supported nations which later became our enemies is irrevelent. To be fair, it does become cause for concern when there develops a discernible trend of our "allies" turning around and biting us in the arse the moment the mutual enemy of the moment is dispensed with -...

So tell me, Wander, how much more will it take then? A better question is, what do you propose to do about it? "Nuke the entire Middle East into glowing slag and let God sort them out" is a glib answer, but it's not especially practicable - even if we set aside our own Christian morals and the very...

Irony aside, I can appreciate that Moores rather one sided films have rubbed people the wrong way, so feel free to argue all you want. But to dedicate an entire story arc to making him look like an obese, slovenly, disrespectful and tyrannical jerk, that's just bad form. I see your point... but dud...

It's an argument that has some merit, yes. And I'm not saying that a minimum wage is an ideal - or even a particularly effective - solution to our problems. However, you haven't addressed the thrust of my previous post: what's our recourse when employers don't have to compete for unskilled labour? B...

Why? There are many opportunities out there for all. Point is, regardless of how many "opportunities" there are out there, we still need somebody to dig ditches, drive trucks, and - yes - flip burgers for us. The army of tireless robot workers who will perform all our menial labour for us is still ...

It's there you're wrong, SirBob. *shrugs* It's a thorny issue. Unions suck, but many employers do, too. Sure, in an ideal, closed system, employers would have to compete even for unskilled labour, but that's not what we have these days. If an American corporation is dissatisfied with the demands of...

What is wrong with that? People starving in the streets, mostly. The only reason it doesn't happen is because the government has stepped in and imposed concepts like the minimum wage to prevent it from happening. Incidentally, the same arguements that are leveled against unions can be leveled again...

Smart businessness keep good workers by offering them better wages and conditions than the competition. That form of employer incentive only exists in the case of skilled labour, tho' - and not coincidentally, skilled professions are the least likely to have unions these days. In the case of unskil...

See, right there is the flaw in your argument. If there are people who are willing to tolerate horrible working conditions, soak up mental and even physical abuse, or simply work a hundred-hour week for a thirty-hour paycheck, who are you to tell them they can't? There are people who are willing to...

Hmmm. On the one hand, I agree that most unions these days are corrupt, ineffectual, or both. I hesitate to say "all", 'cause there's always the odd bunch of folks who actually believe the line they're selling, but the overwhelming trend is not a positive one. On the other hand, workers do need some...

Don't count on it - the words "liberal" and "conservative" mean something entirely different in every single country on the planet. :p

How about d.) the liberal media made the people think b.) was true? Sure, there's liberal bias in the media. There's conservative bias, too. It's just that liberals don't notice the liberal bias, and conservatives don't notice the conservative bias, 'cause they're just hearing what they want to bel...

SirBob, give it up already. For close on to 40 years, the Democrats had the lion's share of governmental power. THEY are to be held accountable for the calamities that befell America on their watch. And I suppose they took power by force? Against the will of the people, as in? Of course not. Folks ...

The most RECENT Democratic administration? While admittedly, that administration was the worst example of corruption and abuse-of-power our nation has seen, we can't stop there.The Democrats held majority control of the government of the United States for a half-century before our current administr...

Substitute "people" for "politicians", perhaps? I think you can reasonably claim that the tendency is greatly exaggerated among those in power. People want their leaders to be "perfect"; admitting to any failing, no matter how inconsequential, is usually political suicide. Add to that the fact that...
