After the GM nationalization and the vacating of the bankruptcy laws to favor cronies, no Dem can ever again use the phrase "rule of law" with any integrity. Without property rights, none of the other liberties matter.

Are you implying that with all that has happened over the past decade, anyone can? The whim of government has been arbitrary for quite some time. They no longer answer to the citizenry, but expect the citizenry to answer to them. Americans are slowly, and happily, giving up every one of their civil liberties, and seem to be sleeping through the whole process. This is not a Rep/Dem, conservative/liberal thing any longer, and anyone who tries to keep it that way are just as at fault as the sleeping citizenry.

Thank you. I wonder if charges against the parents would be filed if a child was struck by lightning walking from his school bus up the path to his front door.

And now, God has nothing to do with lightning?!?! Wow, an agnostic that believes in Mother Nature. Next thing you know, evolution will be the ONLY option taught in our schools, assuming anything is allowed to be taught.

Want to solve the issues with Cuba, Gitmo and North Korea all in one shot? Evacuate Gitmo, leave the prisoners and then tell North Korea they are forbidden to fire a missle at any island within 100 miles of the US mainland.

Of course, knowing Korea, they will probably hit Martha's Vinyard ;)

Just contact former State Senator Chambers from Nebraska. He tried to sue God once. Only failed because the judge asked for proof of service, and Chambers answer: God is all-knowing, He sees all, He knows all, therefore He knows He's been served. Judge didn't buy it, Chambers went on to file an appeal.

You're right. Way off topic. What occurred really is a shame and shouldn't have happened, but sometimes us simple humans just cannot control everything no matter how much we care to try.

You are not going back nearly far enough, content as you are to lay the blame on W. It begins with FDR and the idea that it is the government's responsibility to re-distribute private property for political patronage under the guise of "justice". I haven't been a Republican for some time now. W was no conservative, but compared with O he was rock-ribbed. O is a socialist; this country has never experienced a socialist government before; we have one now. The left gets apoplectic over imagined civil rights (foreign combatants have few, if any, civil rights in this country) while cheering the wanton seizure of private property. The latter is clearly far more dangerous.

FDR was a socialist.


O is a straight up Marxist.

Me - just a technical analyst - waiting for & watching the data.
In the past election & a couple before that, the choice wasn't who's best suited. The choice was who will do the least harm.
