Re: Raids target Christian militia in Midwest

What is really scary about these Militias is that they only got one of many groups in many states. Living in Northern Wisconsin, I get over to Michigan quite often. They should have kept looking ! The fact that these people even exist makes one wonder about the average intelligence level in this cou...

Re: David Frum: HCR is Waterloo alright. For Republicans.

Great article and some sanity at last. What we must understand is that the "far right" has literally been fighting for it's political life. Not to mention it's payoffs. If this bill works as well as many seem to think it will, these people will have a tough time selling any of their bs in ...

Re: Good news/Bad news for Democrats

I'm assuming you mean the tea-baggers will sabotage their own cause by opposing any moderate Republicans, in favor of ideological nuts. If so, then, (and I can't believe I'm saying this,) I support the tea-baggers. hehe, Me too. However, the Dems have a more pressing problem if they lose Kennedy's ...

Conservatives tend to treat the entire refugee system as a big scam, based on a lot of broad claims about masses of people coming here, sponging off our system, bring their families, living on welfare, and of course, having no real merit to their refugee claim. That's because they figure they would...
