Free Republic

5) Say you split the state to avoid voting on a bill. In your absence, the remaining legislators pass some legislation without you. When you return, you complain that they voted without you and corrupted the democratic process.

Rules for Mobocrats: 4) During your mob action, hope that nobody notices that what you are calling a 'fundamental right' isn't mentioned in the constitution, either the U.S. or state versions and is in fact, banned by the federal government and most states.

Lately Illinois has been overrun by Democrats fleeing their legislative duties. First they came from Wisconsin, then they came from Indiana. We are 'full up' on tax-raising, union supporting budget busters. If you see any of these individuals, watch your wallets!

Today's poverty is the accumulated toll of two forces that have advanced in tandem for decades: The corporate fleecing of family wealth and the bipartisan destruction of a refuge to which those shorn families can turn. We fought a long, hard war on poverty to avoid landing in precisely this place. But the Reagan revolution ushered in a long hard war on government to undue that progress.

We already know the numbers. Pew finds that 18% of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim. A new Newsweek poll, taken after the controversy over the New York mosque, places that figure at 24%. Even if he's not a Muslim, Newsweek finds, 31 percent think it's "definitely or probably" true that Obama "sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world."

... one starts to wonder if the country wouldn't be better off without them and if Republicans should be cut out of the health-care system entirely and simply provided with aspirin and hand sanitizer. Thirty-two percent of the population identifies with the GOP, and if we cut off health care to them, we could probably pay off the deficit in short order.

LONDON -- John Lennon was shot and killed outside his New York City apartment after deciding he wanted to return home to see his son rather than go out for dinner, Yoko Ono said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

And it was like he wasn't sure if we would get home before he (Sean) went to sleep and he was concerned about...

The woman, a young mother with her children, didn't see it as harmless. She was scared and embarrassed; her faith had been attacked. She told police, and they called it battery. But in a surprising twist, a Cook County circuit judge did not fine or jail Huffman, who pleaded guilty. He was...

Annual interest on the national debt now exceeds all government welfare programs combined. We'll be in Iraq for years to come. Hard choices need to be made, and given the situation we're in, I think we must bite the bullet and say no more health care for card-carrying Republicans. It just doesn't make sense to invest in longevity for people who don't believe in the future. Let them try faith-based medicine, let them pray for their arteries to be reamed and their hips to be restored, and leave science to the rest of us. Cutting out health care to one-third...
