The big problem there is.. who interprets "God's Law"? The Christian religion is as varied and changing as plants and animals. One can't appoint an all-lawful ruler who will interpret God's law "properly", to the satisfaction of everyone. There are some Christians in this country who believe...

The last election time around, the American people, when given a choice between a smart and saner president and potential president-elect, and a dumber and one grounded in less reality, they wanted to go for the smart one. It was pretty simple.

Inside Washington: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Tom Tancredo - US News and World Report Tom Barry: the Politics of Tom Tancredo To get back on track to what the subject of the post is about, read about what Tancredo has said and done, before declaring him to be a patriotic conservative...

I'd be embarassed too. There is only so much vitriol and illogic that the American voters are willing to stomach from hearing Limbaugh and Newt. The sane Republicans are probably hearing it from their constituents to not support the poisonous gas imminating from the bloated and congested orifices.

This is the main point. Most schools allow a multitude of Christian clubs and avenues for various religions and political parties to discuss their views. The name 'Liberty University" is highly oxymoronic in this case, since freedom, nor a multitude of people, are obviously invited to...

Too much vilification here. Why would you say "don't know us" and "don't understand us", when you don't know a person's history, background, or experience? You are making a personal attack. Do you know the party preferences of those who voted for Obama, or those on "Wall Street", or the...

Most American universities that have integrity and worth allow expressions of a multiple of viewpoints on the campus, in terms of the clubs. Where I live, all of our state universities as well as private institutions include clubs devoted to a variety of religions, as well as political...

The only answers I hear on the radio are the alleged mantra of the "free market". The term "freedom" is loosely bandied around like a feel-good cure-all that will solve everything. Even Bush and his administration had to use the government to help solve the oncoming economic crisis, in 2008...

It is indeed easier to typecast people. That's what commercials and political parties want to do, to motivate people to vote one or another. I saw a movie called "What's The Matter with Kansas", which was primarily about why many conservative people in the midwest were voting against their...

Do you assume that all Democrats are pro-choice and pro-gay-marriage? That is as judgemental as assuming that all Republicans are anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage. There are many in the Democratic Party who are Christian (what? no way!), who are against abortion, who are not for gay...

Restriction of expression and freedom to discern other opinions, as well as pressure to "vote [and think) with the group" are tools of hardcore religious and political bodies to keep the flock from straying. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601204&sid=anh.uW3gNZp4&refer=technology "Iran...

"Liberty" is tricky. It can mean the "freedom" to ban all forms of thinking, opposition opinions expressed, or to allow them. Which freedom do we want?

How can desperation be spelled out in make up and hair? That is true desperation. The Republican Party needs to wake up and smell the desperation in the form of false images, hair styles and cool eye glasses.

The more this country continues to implode economically, the more Republicans come to the light... the light... the light... you are seeing the light...

McCain used to be allegedly bi-partisan. But he was consumed by the lobbyist alien microbes that ate his brain, or at least, what is left of it.

Sarah Palin is clearly out of her league, in terms of international politics. And with the new Wall Street earthquake, even more so. The constant barrage that this economy is "fundamentally strong", is so false, and so not believed by our populace, yet echoed by the administration and candidate...

Front page. And it's a goodie. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us/politics/14palin.html?_r=1&hp=&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1221343324-tGxa66AkDRYq1tsNYpjoIw&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin Is this why some in the right like her, because she epitomizes all that is corrupt and wrong about political...

I'd be willing to bet that Obama is smarter than McCain to know that the American public is darned tired of the government spending their hard earned tax dollars on no-bid contracts to private corporations who are snowing the populace to think they can manage the war more competently than our...

I would move to the OP to change the title of this thread to: "One White Guy's Unease....." , since it seems to be closer to the truth.

McCain seems to be the one who has succumbed to the sirens call of lobbyist money and the Bush regime doctrine. He used to be a so called maverick. Now he is trying to cover up his tracks. He has voted consistently with Bush bills most of the time. The sales pitch is not working...
