    America is BANKRUPT

    FTW. A strong dollar policy is part of our problem. By the nature of trade, a strong currency leads to a trade deficit on the part of that nation. Normally, that deficit eventually leads to a weakening of the currency and thus the balance is restored. What is happening is that other nations keep...

    We have a right to rights we don't have, right?

    Then "a lot" means nothing because it's too vague to have any real meaning. Because we're talking about specific things, you need to have concrete definitions that everyone agrees on; otherwise arguments are open to broad interpretation. That is a separate argument from what I was stating...

    We have a right to rights we don't have, right?

    Yes. I am saying 6.8M is not a lot of people when you put the measurements into the appropriate context. You're falling prey to a basic human information processing bias: the inability to put large numbers into context (btw: this is the same problem people have in comprehending space science as...

    We have a right to rights we don't have, right?

    I think you need to retake your mathematic courses again and perhaps some basic reading comprehension. You seemed to have skipped this part: You also missed the key quote from the poster I quoted: "a lot are illegals." What constitutes "a lot" you might ask? Well, if you want to get down to...

    We have a right to rights we don't have, right?

    You sure about that? Got a source besides Imagination Land? Mine says no. (FactCheck.org : Uninsured U.S. Citizens)

    We have a right to rights we don't have, right?

    Then why are there 47 Million + people who don't have healthcare? If the free market is so efficient, then you would expect them to be covered by insurance too.

    I just found some chilling numbers.

    This is a sad fact everywhere, including the business world. You get punished for being frugal.

    Obama's Birth Control Shift Does Nothing to Quell Storm

    Except of course that the standard of coverage for men is better than the standard of coverage for women. And yes...that is interfering with a person's right to life. And just because I'm not so sure you understand how to make a valid argument by analogy: cosmetic surgery is not in the...

    Obama's Birth Control Shift Does Nothing to Quell Storm

    Then I guess it's extremely fair to ask if you hate women in general or just women that like to have sex...

    Obama's Birth Control Shift Does Nothing to Quell Storm

    Hmmm...how about equal protection under the law, specifically, the right to medical appropriate treatment as determined by a qualified expert (i.e., a physician) and not a bishop. Snap.

    Obama's Birth Control Shift Does Nothing to Quell Storm

    Birth control...I could take that as weasel words. I'll assume you mean birth control pills for the sake of comity. In which case, obviously not...birth control pills cost money and obviously even more money if not covered by insurance. And it's clear you have no understanding of the...

    Obama's Birth Control Shift Does Nothing to Quell Storm

    Actually...no they aren't. In this case, the regulation has the primary secular impact of promoting women's health. Under SCOTUS precedent, a law can impact religious activities in the public sphere if there is a secular purpose as the primary intended impact (e.g., anyone recall the flap over...

    Obama Forces Abortion, Condoms and Mornnig After Pills on Catholics

    By that vein, how do the Bishops get to determine what non-Catholic employees of open-to-public institutions get to have for Healthcare? And I never saw you opposing the Iraq War...lest you forget the Bishops opposed that too....

    Komen Backs Out on Funding Cuts to Planned Parenthood

    Actually...read what they said...they didn't back out of cutting off Planned Parenthood at all. There is no statement in their release that they are restoring any funding.

    Obama Kills 20,000 American Jobs

    I see no one bothered to read my post...Illinois already received the tar sands oil coming from Alberta. My uncle works for a midwestern refinery that uses it. When the Keystone XL is completed that oil will no longer flow to the Midwest. It will increase gas prices in the Midwest... Right...

    Government has ZERO of it's own $'s It CAN NOT CREAT JOBS.

    <edit> I suppose the most accurate phrasing is that leading Republicans (and many Republicans) believe themselves to be representatives of God (or God's law) as evidenced by their statements regarding how secular authorities should apply the law (e.g., marriage equality for gays and lesbians)...

    Obama Kills 20,000 American Jobs

    It's 20,000 employee-years, not jobs for the duration. I recall that it was basically 10,000 employees over a two-year period...so really 10K jobs for just 2 years. Oh...and the pipeline would actually make the economy worse in the long run. That tar sands oil currently tends to end up in the...

    Voters and Debt

    Contango...it seems to me that you're operating under a false assumption: we must cut or do nothing. As a point of fact there are several ways to handle the problem that may not lead to cuts in benefits: 1. Medicare Part E...covering everyone. It creates a giant pool of a insurees that will...

    The Truth about Taxes

    That's an easy one: end the loophole that allows corporations to get a tax break for offshoring jobs. That's step one. The next step: end subsidies for Big Agra and Big Oil. Neither need them. The third step: protectionism parity...also called tit for tat. All protectionist barriers created...
