• God vs. Gov’t: What Does the Constitution Really Say About the Separation of Church and State?

  May 17, 2013 at 8:55am

  In reply to Echo5Charlie10.

  Molon, you say those of us who believe forgo logic. I disagree. I find the God of the Bible very logical.
  First he created man perfect and gave us 1 rule. Simple.
  When that failed he allowed man to try to live a good life.
  When that failed he gave man 10 rules.
  When that failed he gave man a prophet.
  When that failed he gave man a king.
  When that failed he sent his son to do what we could not.
  He waited to send his son to the very last because he knew we had to prove that we could not do it on our own. If Jesus was sent right of the bat, man would of said “I could of done that.”

• ‘Audit This’: NFL Player’s Protest of the IRS May Shock You

  A FAIR tax is the only way to go. And it would not need to be 34%. It would need to be 20%. Historicaly the fed gov has only taken in around 19% regardless of tax rates due to tax breaks and loop holes. Well, this would eliminate all of that. Plus, corprate tax rates would go away so thats around 25% (effective tax rate on the average company) of the price of all goods gone in a snap of a finger. Then you take into account that in a true FAIR tax system, Social Security and Medicare would be gone (phased out) and you would bring home every dime you earn. So, if you make $20 a hour, your check for a 40 hour week would be $800, not $625.
  More money for us, more money for the companies, that will spur growth, which means more jobs, which means more people spending money, which means more tax money for the gov.
  And all of the people who work for cash or make their money from crime or are here illegally will have to pay their fair share too because we all buy stuff.

• The Unbelievable Video Showing the Moment a Hunter Snatches a Bird Out of the Air With His Bare Hand

  Keaton, I believe many of us feel that the enviromental/green movement is socialist/communist in nature is because it can not compete in a free market. At least it has yet to. Instead, billions of our tax dollars are continually given away to failed green companies and pointless grants/studies/projects.
  On the other hand, you are correct. If and when an alternative form of energy enters the market without being propped up by public money then it will be capitalism. And things such as hemp should be legal and used.
  Lastly, I do not know you but if you are who you say you are then you sir are the type of person that I can stand side by side with on the enviroment. But the Al Gores of the world who preach that we must change our lives while doing far more of the “evils” that he preaches against is very top down communist like.

  If by “sit back” you mean sit back and shut up, I think we would all be happy.

  In reply to TheWhiteFalcon.

  If it was spelled out when he bought the house then it is his fault. But if he did not get a copy of the rules and regs like the story says then they can stick it. Personal responsibility, either he blew it or they (HOA) did.

• Lesbian Activist’s Surprisingly Candid Speech: Gay Marriage Fight Is a ‘Lie’ to Destroy Marriage

  In reply to wyatterp.

  But you obvioulsy can’t read English. He said take “a” group of each and see which group would still be around in 100 years. So tell me, who in the gay or lesbian camps are going to have these kids? Learn to read.

• Ever Wonder How Names Get on Jerseys So Quickly at the NFL Draft?

  April 26, 2013 at 1:27pm

  Ever wonder why so many people here are such fiendless jerks?

  Not every story has to be about the end of the world. Some stories can be about trival stuff. Some people like sports, you know, like most of us. We normal people use sports, family, church and the like to give us a break from the news so we do not go crazy and help keep us grounded and in touch with other people.

• Michigan Clerk Apologizes for Calling Black Town Official ‘Arrogant N****r’ — Says She’s ‘Far From Being Prejudiced’

  All of you and your racist comments make me ashamed to call myself a conservative. Grow up. Skin color is nothing more than a person having more or less gentic material as you do. God made one race, the human race. And if you see it differently than may he forget that you were my country man.
