Yep: cruel, heartless, mean-spirited, etc.
Virginia still has its militia. Many other states define their militia in their constitutions.
Hey Geron, my #s could be wrong. I didn’t do my research. 15 Bil may be too high. Not sure....
There isn’t enough bandwidth to explain my frustration with the Republican Party(esp in Fl.).
I knew I wasn’t sick in the head: chances are, militias are still legal, Mr. McDurmon!
1) Original Sin is as tyrannical a doctrine as Leninism.
2) American Constitutional values cannot be exported by force of arms.
3) The US military budget is at least 50% greater than it needs to be.
4) The War on Drugs is over - drugs won.
5) In the race for economic dominance in the next decade, Asia is beating the USA and Europe. Handily.
IIRC correctly, the aid was 3B/year over 5 years.
I noticed that too.
An insightful, concise and correct analysis.
I can see that. Let the Europeans take care of their own damned selves; we already have thousands of Americans buried over there.
One of the soundest investments ever made by the US and the USSR was to OCCUPY EUROPE for a very, very, very long time.
“Most Republican politicians are statists too”
I think that may be closer to the truth...when they are corrupted by the system, especially...but this constant drumming that the Republicans are as bad as the Dims is just too over the top and feeds the argument that it doesn’t matter who you vote for...but I am pretty sure that I would prefer anyone or anything that ran to this POS in the WH...he is a MARXIST...to the best o my knowledge, the Republican Party has put no one forth to compare...I think the statements need to be made in the context of going forward...we can NOT change the past and we are aware of the dangers of repeating, so throwing out the RINO and Dims seems fairly self evident...the constant self immolation and this twisted moral equivalency of “we’re no better than they are” will only make the task that much more difficult. The Repubs are INFINITELY better than this plague of leftists.
So who were the nine GOP Senators who voted against prescription drugs for seniors, and did any Dem Senators also vote against it?
I agree. While we might nitpick the article does have a good point. but lets not say they are as bad as marxists.
I stand corrected. And this is only one issue that makes me ill.
A Constitution not followed is worse than no Constitution at all. This state of affairs breeds contempt for the government in the intelligent, and a sentimental belief in the phony protections it was supposed to have in the weak minded. As such, the Constitution now provides a fig leaf for the naked aggression of the socialist statist agenda.
The worst Republicans are in the Senate. Of 41 Republicans, no more than 15 are true conservatives.
I agree with #s 2-5. Nothing to hate about those 'truths/opinions'.
I don't know what you are trying to say with #1:
"Original Sin is as tyrannical a doctrine as Leninism".
That's almost like saying, 'Death is as tyrannical doctrine as Leninism'.
Sure, with Adam's Fall ('Original Sin') we all became slaves to the Tyranny of Sin and Death...
And the solution to both is Freedom by becoming a 'slave' (servant) to Christ.
Hebrews 2:15 And [Jesus] deliver[ed] them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
The libertarian wing of the GOP would probably agree with most of these statements. Some Republicans can be just as statist as the Democrats, just over different issues.
I disagree about Social Security. I don’t know who started it but they took my money and promised it back to me when I retired. Well now I’m retired so why should I feel like I’m taking welfare?
