Newt's Newtered! One has already joined up with TPaw. I think most of the others are going with Perry. One more reason to be suspect of Perry, as if one needed more reasons to be suspicious of him.

The war on the everyday human being continues.

I would have voted for that option too, which would be our equivalent of a government collapse in Parliamentary systems, but that just isn't on the table, so I would rather just beat up on the silly Congressman and embarrass the Obama Administration since he was one of their foremost defenders...

If he cheated on his wife, he lied to her. I voted no for the same reason Rush would vote no. This is good for conservatives. I hate to sound terribly jaded and pragmatic about that, but it's not like a conservative or anyone better is going to get elected out of the cesspool he represents.

To be fair, almost all Mormons are Republicans, so I can understand why they would be opposed to having them in office in general. What I find depressing are the Evangelical Christian numbers. I guarantee the same 33% that would be comfortable with an Evangelical Christian in office would cry...

For one, we are talking in two different languages here. I'm trying to deal with the world as it stands, and you are looking at a world that does not exist. Sometimes the only way to make the best of an unethical previous decision that has been made is by doing something that would normally be...

Yeah, this was a news story a few months (a year?) ago. They Dept. of Indoctrination bought a whole bunch of SWAT gear with Congressional funds for that purpose. I suspect that they think this kind of stuff is going to happen more often, and are trying to use intimidation to suppress it without...

Oh, they mention that plenty of places. It's a whole magazine and blog. They just do not like the libertarianism that is infecting the "conservative movement" right now, and so every once in a while make an article to rip it to shreds.

Considering the Founders (yea, even Jefferson, the one closest to the modern Libertarian perspective) maintained the standing military, I find your arguments against the military to be the ones that are specious. The Founders, while opposing the kind of standing army we see today and the British...

No, it is not right for me to be coerced to pay for foreign adventures to countries that pose no threat to my homeland in any tangible way. Why else would I ever even think about supporting Ron Paul! If I thought what the Feds were doing was just, I'd just go over and join the Bill Kristols of...

Overall military pay does need to be cut in the end, but that should be done by cutting the size of our military, not by cutting the salaries of the average enlisted man. If we cut military personnel in half, why then we cut the amount we pay in soldier's salaries without cutting any individual...

Not what they use the military for, but the institution itself. While I obviously do not benefit in any tangible way from the current foreign adventurism, I still benefit from the defense our Army, Navy, and Air Force provide. The fact of the matter is, other countries are afraid of this one...

If the Police have probable cause to enter a home without permission of the one controlling the property, they ought to have to at least break down the door. It's the least barrier to privacy one could imagine. I would think on rare occasion, there might be reason to break down a door (to stop a...

I remember my mom and I were checking out at a Barnes & Noble, and she bought Atlas Shrugged while I bought The Potter's Freedom, and I told her that we could not be buying more opposite books. At that point, I had just woken up to the fallacies and dangers of Randianism. We cannot let these...
