Just in time for the Fourth of July, John Lott, author of the groundbreaking 1998 book "More Guns, Less Crime," has released another amazing book: "Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't." This book provides studies and analysis proving that your every right-wing instinct is based on sound economic analysis.

For a moment I thought the headline said ‘Felines Smarter than Libs’.

Women shouldn't vote: "What changed ... that explains the growth of government? The answer is women's suffrage."I would agree with this, with the exception of FRemales of course.

To: Borges
Needless to say, Democrats are neurotically obsessed with restoring the right to vote to felons. But the ex-cons themselves rarely express any interest in regaining this particular right. What ex-cons want is the right to own a gun. "Felons," Lott says, "who frequently live in poor, high-crime neighborhoods, want to be able to defend themselves."
So the evidence is in on that one, too: Preferring the right to bear arms to the right to vote (for choice), convicted felons have a superior value system to liberals. You know, I just can't argue with that. It isn't like the former prisoner has a life sentence. If you can't trust them they should not be on the street. If they ARE on the street do we have the right to say "oh no, you can't defend yourself equally to that person over there, therefore you will die?"
Constitutional Rights ya know. You can't cherry pick which ones you would like for a specifice citizen to have lest someone cherry pick YOUR rights.

While we are fighting islamic terrorists, I do have to give credit to the at least the Saudi portion of the terrorist camp. They rightly deny the right to vote and drive to women.
We would be a better and much safer society if we adopted those principles.
Look, its sarcasm. Settle down.
Or is it?

Felines are smarter than all of us. Show me the hospitals, space ships, highway and transportation systems, computers, and other such things that these superior felines have invented and built?
Maybe they are hiding them underewater with all the stuff dolphins have done.

I see that you are out and about on the eve of our national celebration of independence and gunpowder.
It has been a while since I stubbled across you. Still swinging the big stick?

Oh, but that’s because liberal pols do not see the felon’s potential vote as his property, but their own.
At a club I used to belong to (you might guess which one), I made a speech in defense of poll taxes. I pointed out that no one could vote in club elections unless they had paid their dues. In fact, the College Democrats was run the same way. (No, the club in question was not College Republicans). I had seen a news report recently where several black families had lost their houses, vehicles, etc. for inability to pay taxes. I pointed out that they would have preferred to keep their houses and vehicles but lose their vote.
After the speech, three black women came up to me and told me I had raised some excellent points.

I still get to play a lot but no longer compete in long drive competitions. A 3 year old and a 1 year old eat up most of my time so I have to do things at night. Like poker.

Constitutional Rights ya know. You can't cherry pick which ones you would like for a specific citizen to have lest someone cherry pick YOUR rights. Suggest you go to google.com, select "News" and enter the search term "sex offenders." You'll be shocked out how many of our rights are being given up willy-nilly through such cherry-picking. And I'm not talking about rights lost upon conviction -- I'm talking about rights taken away AFTER conviction. And SCOTUS is upholding all this.
You have already lost more rights than you know.
"Your papers, please?"

I would have assumed this was a joke, if I had not read, some years ago, an article in
Liberty (I think) making the same point; I don't recall who wrote it. But let me point out that the Interstate Commerce Act (1887) and the Sherman Antitrust Act (1890) were each enacted by a Congress for which no woman voted legally, directly or indirectly. It may be that Lott approves of the Sherman Act, but he cannot reasonably deny that it represented growth of government. I maintain that America's course was set, and not in the direction of freedom, well before women's suffrage was significant.
I may be reminded that Wyoming, where women did have the vote, was made a state in 1890. And so it was: eight days after the Sherman Act was signed into law.
