    How shocked are you to learn Craig Whyte, Charles Green, and Duff & Phelps are all in it together?

    Me? Not very. But I am laughing pretty hard about it. Thanks to Phil Mac Giolla Bhain for breaking the story yesterday: http://www.philmacgiollabhain.ie/hurricane-craigie-set-to-hit-ibrox/ Oh, and to the BBC for finding out about it 24 hours later...

    As the 1% Increases Its Share of National Wealth, do you share the Conservative Desire to Tax the Poor?

    i.e. Herman Cain? Of course the poor pay taxes. Lots of people want to brutalize the poor while comparing Obama to Hitler. Their ideology is clearly at a breaking point.

    If Property is theft, then why doesnt Long Haired Freaky Person give up his computer?

    I'd be perfectly happy if everybody shared computers. Seems like a waste of resources for everyone to have their own. edit: and I've never blocked anyone.

    Is the Republican Anti-Union Argument basically this: "Let's enjoy being Slaves of

    the Capitalist Pigs"? Get used to making Chinese wages or else. Give up your rights to collective bargaining or else. Give up any hope of the American Dream or else. No wonder people only vote Republican when they're afraid. Because if you actually think about their policies, they are...

    Why do conservatives complain about Obama's "Tyranny" and then claim the 2nd...

    ...Amendment prevents Tyranny? Normal people realize that guns have no place in a democracy. You win some, you lose some, but civilized people respect democratic institutions. I'd never live outside of a major city. Suburbs and rural areas are creepy and boring to me, respectively. The...

    Why can't Americans who complain about "Mexicans taking our jobs" simply admit...

    Who was the last Nobel Peace Prize winner that U.S. conservatives agreed with?

    It's fair to say that they don't really like peace very much, based on who they vote for.

    Are you ready for the Million Man March in Cairo tomorrow?

    It will crush the Yankee Toadie Mubarak once and for all! Goodbye, Dictatorship!!!! The Muslim Brotherhood is a peaceful, Democratic, movement. Why do conservatives believe you can only have Democracy if the U.S. military kills people to bring it? You think American Imperialism doesn't have...

    Fox News be made to suffer? http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jan/30/frances-fox-piven-glenn-beck unlike Glenn Beck, I'm not calling for violence, so my conscience is clear. I didn't refer to nazis.

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110120/pl_yblog_theticket/santorum-invokes-obamas-race-in-abortion-debate Maybe there's something about legal forcing people to work without getting paid that rubs African Americans the wrong way?

    Why didn't the southern states respect President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation?

    I often hear apologists for White Supremacy say things like "slavery would have died out in the south" or "slavery was a dying institution". But the proclamation only freed slaves in Union-liberated areas of the south, not where the treasonous rebels still had control. If slavery was on the way...

    Wouldn't it be rational to replace the Second Amendment with regulation...

    ...allowing hunters to carry certain guns? The blanket "right" to carry weapons belongs in the stone age, not in a civilized 21st century society. If hunters want to pursue their hobby responsibly, they should have a right to do so. But other than that, there is no need. Legal gun ownership...

    ...Big Picture? Conservatives don't like how much of our income tax revenue comes from the top 1%. The real problem is that too much of our income goes TO the top 1%.

    Do conservatives believe that centuries of Islamic Jurisprudence has had no

    effect on American Law? Of course they are mistaken. They could no more purge the "Islamic" from our law as they could purge the Roman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala No one doubts religion had a role in forming our laws. Just not the one about separating Church and State.

    Why do Republicans say "That's Capitalism" when you complain about gross

    economic injustice? Of course that's captalism, when big business screws you out of your house, outsources your job, changes the labor law so you can't unionize, eliminates your pension to pay CEO bonuses, etc. etc. "That's capitalism" isn't the answer - it's the question: how then do we get...
