“To me, their opinion is valuable precisely becaue they don’t have any credentials attached.” Wow. You actually think people (any people) who are completely uninformed and uneducated about international relations are qualified to give their opinions about Russia. Wow. Next time you or a family member needs an X-ray or…

How are chicks who have procreated the only people who have “families?” And how does having children—and only having children—make on an expert on anything?

Briefly, I don’t think I was suggesting that these women should be silenced or that they should never be allowed to talk publicly.

It takes a walled-off community

Enjoy your middle class world.

i haven’t slept since november 8

Sticking up for someone who protected a child molester. Calls someone a retard. I see you as a person of great integrity.

Oh, God does indeed know why, and there will be Hell to pay.

If something like being transparent with his taxes wasn’t enough, something silly like disobeying the Presidential Records Act certainly isn’t going to get him into any trouble either. While I don’t think his statement that he could kill a man in broad daylight and get away with it is true, I am reluctant to admit…

The fact that Knight was so celebrated for so long as a leader is NOT UNRELATED to our current White House situation.

Damn, none of these plans are the government supplying health care, they are setting the rules by which insurance can be sold. And since they definitely want to do this selling across state lines thing, that, by even the strictest of definitions would make it interstate commerce (not including the fact that even for…

Oddly, the constitution didn’t mandate the development of the internet for private use. Perhaps you and your feeble understanding of the constitution should just go away.

What part is public education in? Oh, it’s not, we just decided as a society that it makes sense to create an educated workforce. Now we’d like to follow many/most other industrialized nations in also creating a healthy workforce.

Quite simply, not everything is in the Constitution, but with skyrocketing costs and uneven access to healthcare, it is something that voters have come to demand. Both Democrats and the GOP are going to do their thing, right or wrong, and the voters will ultimately be the judge come election-time—that part is in the…

Some have interpreted the clause in the preamble “ . . .to promote the general Welfare . . .” to mean that the government has a role to play in creating and/or administering social programs.

I would suggest a civics lesson if you are really interested in the purpose of the Constitution.

The preamble part.

So that the people that the government serves can live happy, healthy, and productive lives that benefit the country in which they reside? Compared to the rest of the developed world, the US works harder than most. We work hard because we hardly take vacations, we have the fewest amount of sick days, and have only 12…

I think it falls within the definition of “governing” people...

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
