Except of course Liberty University shares the stage with opponents all the time. They apparently only run away when the opponents are homosexuals.

There is not a gay bone in my body, I just don’t run away at the thought of being on the same stage as a gay guy, like Liberty University does.

A bunch of men running away from a few homosexuals? Sounds kind of uh, gay.

Actually, I have never even heard of her before, but judging by the original comment, and the USE OF CAPS by her supporters, the chance that she is a loon is about 100%.

She is a loon.

Is she a truther?

Give me an example please of the kind of detail that you would expect in an article like this that was no provided. His phone number 30 years ago?

We both transferred from Oxy to Columbia in fall 1981. Barack had found an apartment on West 109th Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus, and suggested that I room with him. Our sublet was a third-story walk-up in a so-so neighborhood; the unit next door was burned out and vacant. The doorbell didn’t work; to be let in when I first arrived I had to yell up to Barack from the street. It was a railroad apartment: From the kitchen, you walked into Barack’s room, then my room, and lastly the living room

It’s pretty straight forward: All these issues exist because the government is setting the curriculum. Right there is the problem. What curriculum the government setting is a secondary problem. Give the kids vouchers, and let the parents choose what schools they want to send them to based upon what those schools each offer.

A pretty good sign that this is BS.

Perhaps they believe in less taxes, less government, a strong military, etc.

I agree with you 100%. There is, however, a difference between a broad policy of advancing individual freedom, including on the issues you list above, and being opposed to "the homosexual lifestyle" as many conservatives are.

Yet, this article is about a guy who opposes "the homosxual lifestyle". I agree with you by and large about the specific issues at hand. The fact is, though, that the conservative movement is in fact full of people who hate homosexuals, and the homosexuals know it.

If you read this article, the guy who was speaking is not described as someone who opposes certain legislative issues, but rather as someone who is opposed to "the homosexual lifestyle". So apparently he is concerned about what people do in their bedroom, and therefore your statement is incorrect.

You apparently have a problem with basic logic. goodnight.

I don't understand. Aren't you hear arguing that the Federal Government was right to backstop citibank?

It didn’t cast the taxpayer a dime this time, it might next time. Citi was going to fail because it took too much risk. They won’t do it in home loans, they will do it in another kind of loan.. like Argentina in the 80’s, Mexico in the 90’s. Etc.

Now, please, I’d like to know your philosophy on governments role in the economy. Am I correct that it is to stay out of the economy, except to back stop really big companies?

Yes, banks that were not "too big to fail" were allowed to fail. Citi would have failed but the taxpayers backstopped it. You claim to believe in free markets, but you have no problem with that.

Yeah, banks just can't wait to make mortgage loans to deadbeats now. It's all over the news. LOL!

They did it once. And no, they won't do that again, they will do it somewhere else.

I'd love to know your overall theory on free markets. Is it that markets should be free except for really, really big companies that should get taxpayer support when threatened?

If your position is to take away all regulation from the banks, and let them fail if they go bad, then I agree with you. That includes getting rid of the FDIC, by the way.

Right, and if you co-sign my mortgage, you are running the risk that I won't pay, which is why if I asked you to co-sign my mortgage you would say no. The fact that the banks were able to pay back the loans this time does not mean that they will next time. In fact, they will likely be even more reckless in the future because now they know for sure that there are people like you out there who are happy with them all making a fortune taking excess risks and then running to you when things go bad.
