Thanks for a full-throated defense of liberty!

Every spring, I start the hunt for summer sandals. I like cork wedges, so it takes a while to find the right pair. But I do have good luck at Rack Room and Super Shoes.

I know I’m in the minority, but I hate flip-flops with a passion.

There are some, but not all cows, that spend their lives in confinement. This is not always the case, and there are efforts to bring back free range meat, or push stores to sell free range (animals that graze outdoors) meat.

Interesting point.

I wonder whether there are observable differences due to corn consumption in parts of the world where corn has been introduced, such as parts of Italy in which polenta is the staple starch dish.

What about the issue of littering on the roadways. here in America, there needs to be trash can on every corner instead of a bar (tavern) on every corner. People are slobs in that they throw the McDonalds, Taco Bell, Subway, KFC packaging, soda and beer cans, and yes dirty diapers out the car/truck window. When cleaning up alongside the roadway I do find a lot of stuff. I did find a $100.00 bill two days ago in a McDonalds bag!

You’re joking, right? There’s nothing to do with liberty in this piece. It’s all, “People who do things I don’t like - from soda consumption to divorce to porn production - are slobs.”

The people of this nation kicked God out of the schools back in the early 60’s...it is time to reap the whirlwind. Sit back and watch the frantic passengers rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic.

After ruining pork with confinements...they are trying to push for that with cattle. Blech. Nothing like eating the meat of an animal that has been permeated since birth with the overwhelming stench of waste.

For those who want to disagree...go right ahead. I am the daughter of a hog farmer who had one of the very first confinement systems 40+ years ago...and went back to open lot. He hated those things; inhumane & crappy (literally!) product.

#6 Large numbers of cows that are killed for hamburger meat in America stand ankle-deep in their own manure all day long.

Did Morrissey write this?

The French smoke like chimneys and their capital city is awash in dog poop. They may not have potholes but they have praying Muslims taking over their public sidewalks and roads. They love their meats, entrails and all. They get to live their socialist lives with free schools and health care because their defense is subsidize by us.

It would be easy enough to pick apart other European countries. South of our border would be even easier. You have to be a liberal to care who laughs at us.
