”This is not the first or only time the federal government willfully ignored its own laws.”

A masterpiece of understatement.

Or those illegal Visigoths coming across the border.

All I ever needed to know about wagon trains and the West I learned from Major Adams and Flint McCullough. ^_^

Groucho said, regarding oil vs environmentalists:
“It is too big, Lamont, they may get more regulation, which might be a good thing, but the forces of the oil industry are too big when that much money is at […]

I’m not sure what we are supposed to be upset with here. I get it that it is the cardinal’s views and his stance against the speaker that are center of the topic, but how do his beliefs or actions threaten us? […]

You’re entitled to your opinion. Just label it as such. Why do we need a coroner or an autopsy when you (and a few others) have already determined the cause of death? FYI, I have always been against combining […]

“If it wears a uniform and carries a big billy club, government is above reproach, beyond question, and can do no wrong, correct?”

And here is the opposite side of that coin.

“The coroner is taking their […]

Assuming that fracking isn’t stopped by environmental concerns.

Not that it never happen, but Groucho and I are agreed. Did I just hear a bell?

Of course, no matter how universal the outrage, it can never be 100%.

Or just do away with the income tax and go to a value added tax. I share your doubts. I’m starting to feel like a Nottingham peasant.

Thanks for the links, Groucho. While smaller deficits are a good thing in my book, the writer in the first link seems to think this may be harmful in the long run. I’m assuming that’s because he gives part of […]

I would express my admiration for Capra and his work, but then someone would feel the need to call him a fascist or a jingoist so I’ll just let it go. Excellent column today, catpaw.

catpaw, I’m with you on much of what you said regarding jobs and prices. I guess where we disagree is on whether an employer has a responsibility to insure that his employee has all his basic needs met. Just as […]

Is it time to eliminate the IRS and find a system that bypasses favoritism, malice, intimidation, loopholes, politics, (the list is endless)? Why should we adhere to anything that puts citizens at such risk from […]

Suffice it to say that I disagree with everything you said and we’ll let most of it go. But abortion a matter of conscience? To the contrary. A willingness to harm or to allow someone to be harmed is not a […]

Two questions catpaw:
Are you of the opinion that minimum wage should provide a nice, comfortable lower-middle living for a typical family of four?

And, is the fact that a gun is a mechanical apparatus or […]

Sorry, Groucho, you’re serious aren’t you. Your statements about the deficit and health care costs don’t match what I’ve been hearing. If true, then that is gratifying, but is it real or just accounting […]

You can talk about a better playbook, better strategy, more effective campaign all you want, but what it comes down to is playing responsibly vs pandering (I know you said the word is insulting but then you […]

We don’t call it the news anymore, Groucho. Under a little known (or read) section of Obamacare, p.1984, the “news” is now distributed under the auspices of the federal government’s new Ministry of Truth. […]
