    Rick Perry Former Perry Chief of Staff Fired from A&M, Pulls knife and threatens people

    Don't know how much you trust HuffPo or other liberal rags, but google news Jay Kimbrough. This piece of work who has been used as a "fixer" by Perry for years was appointed to a position at A&M. Recently, he was fired, pulled a knife on his coworkers and dared them to try to take his keys...

    Bill Clinton on Obama's Buffet Tax "I'd pay it, but it won't solve the problem".

    It's funny how Bill Clinton, and Al Gore, and Jimmy Carter, and Nelson Mandela, and a whole bunch of other people have been able to get so many things done as private citizens instead of government actors. It's almost like we can do more alongside or without the government than we can WITH the...

    Stubborn Political Science Professor "The Fed is Public Because it's Public"

    Is there any continuation of that case? It looks like that was an appelate case to the ninth circuit, and the 9th issued that ruling. Did it go higher/get appealed/overturned? I can't find anything of that nature. As for the FED, on my understanding , it's a private entity when it wants to...

    "To All" - A message from Troy Anthony Davis

    That article completely discounts the bloody shorts with MacPhail's DNA on it found at Davis' house. It was tossed from evidence because the court found that the mother could not give permission to allow the search and she was "under duress" at the time of the warrant. That does make it...

    Nathan Deal just murdered Troy Davis

    The victim's family in this case was all too willing to throw the switch, push the button, pull the trigger, light the fuse, etc.

    Nathan Deal just murdered Troy Davis

    That's my case here. There are better, more innocent people that can be used to show the death penalty is racist, horrible, and wrong. It doesn't make it right used in this case or the James Byrd murder case yesterday... but people are far less sympathetic to killers being killed in their...

    Elizabeth Warren: Resistance is Futile to the Collective

    Society existed LONG before this government started taxing people and groping them in airports. Society will exist after this bloated beast of a government collapses and explodes under its own weight. Separate government from society. You don't NEED a big government to "run society." And...

    Elizabeth Warren: Resistance is Futile to the Collective

    The "you MUST pay it forward to the next man" part is socialism. Sorry, but it is. I'm the type who WOULD pay it forward, but saying I must? Or they'll come and put me in a cage? I disagree with that force.

    Cut military spending? We'll have to draft you then. So says Republican congressman.

    No.. not for free. Instead of maintaining an active troop count of x, we're going to cut x jobs. Then, if we NEED more troops immediately, we'll draft them and pay them as long as we need them. This is as opposed to paying them full time all the time. We'll only "hire" them when we need...

    Nathan Deal just murdered Troy Davis

    State says it's okay to kill this guy: It's not murder. State doesn't say it's okay: It's murder. IN short, the state chooses who its enemies are, and can authorize anyone to kill them.

    "To All" - A message from Troy Anthony Davis

    There was plenty of evidence. And none of the people who recanted were willing to do it under oath. You had matching shell casings, his own admission that he shot the first guy and was present at the fight where the cop was shot, you had nine eye witnesses who stood by their story for nearly...

    Elizabeth Warren: Resistance is Futile to the Collective

    I've always wondered about the "public good" point. But she's right, to a degree. We did use the roads and the police and the fire department. And I'd be willing to pay for those to be managed at NEAR A LOCAL LEVEL AS POSSIBLE. But we also are paying for the regulation that makes it harder...

    God vs. Government | Study: Believers Don't Support Government Programs

    I'm an atheist, so take that as what you will, but I remember one thing from my days as a radical right christian. The end goal government for a christian on the far right is a radicalized theocratic dictatorship\monarchy with Jesus being the head of state and complete controller of government...

    Nathan Deal just murdered Troy Davis

    A couple of thoughts on this. First, Yeah, as others said, Nathan Deal couldn't have done a thing. The legislature in GA has taken that power from the governor and handed it to a parole / pardons board. Second, Tory Davis didn't shoot one man that night, he shot two. The evidence of the...
