Is that what you 50's Kansans said back then…roy….

And I think the attack was a horrible and senseless tragedy. Hasan, alone, is responsible. Insanity and religiousity are very similar in nature. It looks to me like Hasan was both religious and insane. Double dose of poison. That's what I think.

I can't wait to see his comments on the words of the Dem turncoat, Joe Lieberman, about what surely was on the mind of Hasan as he went about his grisly "mission" preceded by the shout about God is great. Of course, as the lefties are saying now he was surely suffering from PTSD and he had never been in combat until that day. What say you about that attack, Rev?

the difference between republicans and libertarians……that would be a good question for Ron Paul

as far as ped0phile protector republican John Boehner……hey, he's the face of the republican/libertarian/conservative party. The people who follow such a dispicable creep like Boehner are the true lemmings

" The Reverend dude comes off as a total liberal lemming, .."

What is a total liberal lemming? This Reverend dude doesn't want to take away your guns….is that being, like, a total liberal lemming? Is wanting the government to stay out of our personal lives a liberal lemming position?….cause I agree with that too. How about wanting to kill Bin Laden….is that what liberal lemmings want to do?

I don't lemming-up to anyone. I've written several posts criticizing Obama…and there will be many more, from the looks of it. The left actually criticizes their own Democratic presidents….glaringly unlike the conservative right.

I wouldn't be against a tax increase on the super rich (earners above, say, $2 million annually, excluding small businesses) considering the circumstances, but the Reverend is missing the boat. In 10 short years, the size of the federal government has DOUBLED, and the Reverend thinks this is a revenue problem ? Typical upside-down liberal thinking. It's a spending problem. We can't just keep increasing taxes over and over to fund the ever-growing appetite of government bureaucrats. We just can't. THAT will be the avenue to depression-like conditions.

If this is the quality of the average voter (clueless, lemming, and sensationalist) out there, no wonder the quality of those we elect is so poor.

"In the run-up to Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman met with the editorial board of the Watertown Daily Times, the largest paper in the district. After Hoffman “showed no grasp of the bread-and-butter issues pertinent to district residents,” his companion in the meeting, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, rose to his defense by dismissing regional concerns as “parochial” issues that would not determine the outcome of the election."

then teabag leader Armey sez out of the other side of his face………“The fact of the matter is, he didn’t pay enough attention to the local concerns, and they were able to tag him as being unaware of the local needs and concerns,” Armey said.

the republicans are back…..just like ped0phile protector John Boehner threw Dennis Hastert under the bus here is his fellow traveler Dick Armey throwing Hoffman under the bus

The reason the income and wealth gap is so large now, huge amounts of wealth shifting into the hands of just a few, …..is because of the continuous breaks given to the most affluent over a 50 year span.

Yes, government always needs trimming…..but taxes on the richest need raising. We need revenue.

You and I both know that the problem with California is not "rich" people getting richer. High taxation, excessive regulation, and anti-industry sentiments is causing the revenue base to migrate elsewhere. Very soon they'll be left with a state that only has government jobs to offer, yet no more means to subsidize this sham. Then the working class gets taxed even heavier to make up the shortfall, instead of slashing the hell out of excess government. California is destined to become a welfare state, from head to toe, unless someone stumbles upon common-sense. If someone is already paying 40-50% of their income, is this not enough? Or do we just adjust the tax rates to balance the shortfalls attributed to out of control spending? Why are taxes always the answer and not restraint?

Since half of the population isn't paying anything in taxes, why not ask them to be "patriotic" as well and step up to plate? I would guess that a lot of people who pay little or no tax aren't fully declaring all income (working in the cash economy) and gaming the system to their best advantage. It's the American way. I know a few people doing this and it is extremely unfair.

IMO, a flat tax or national sales tax is the only way to keep things fair for all. The rich would still pay more, as they consume higher value products. I think something like this would immediately heal the economy, instead of more punitive taxes on success.

Good one, Tbomb.

I was just waiting for trunks to pop open with "misplaced" ballot boxes, but many box trucks would have been required to make up this difference. Maybe a lesson wasn't learned in Copenhagen……………….his mere presence is beginning to prove counterproductive. Many incumbents shall be up for reelection, yet his ego will not be able to refrain from "helping" his comrades. He has now become the grim reaper of his own party.

Initially, I was disappointed with NY23…………. but then I took a step back and looked at the pros. The voters rejected the status quo of the GOP, a phony republicans show how they roll when rejected, and the seat isn't any worse off than it would have been under Scozza. A new level of tolerance has been established for acceptable candidates…………maybe. I'll gladly welcome matchups that pit hardcore conservatives against hardcore liberals in 2010. It beats watching liberals posing as centrists, taking on moderates who claim they're conservative, and at least we know what we're getting.

The wicked witch of the west is trying to fast-track ObamaCare, all eyes on blue dogs, and the tea party is DC bound tomorrow. If we shut down this desperate push for socialized medicine, the domino effect takes over.
