• Is Union Boss Richard Trumka Already Lowering Expectations for the Scott Walker Recall Election?

  In reply to compatriotshonor.

  vox- Like blaming George Soros for everything, amirite?
  No actually. The reason the Koch brothers have become scapegoats is to take the heat from Soros. Koch Bros make their money the old fashioned way- they sell a product people want. Soros destroys economies.
  What they’ve done is nothing compared to Soros.

• Atheist Who Converted to Christianity After Threatening TX Nativity Lawsuit Emails to Say He’s Once Again an Atheist

  May 7, 2012 at 9:55am

  the sad thing is, It’s because of deductive reasoning that I could never be an Atheist. The very nature of matter and time cannot be explained by Atheist thought. There‘s no way there can’t be a God. Someone outside of a space and time had to create these things.

• Occu-nomics: May Day Protesters Try to Answer, ‘What Is the Best Alternative to Capitalism?’

  May 3, 2012 at 3:32pm

  In reply to SquareHead.

  Vox- part of the problem with your analogy is the serfs can’t become landowners. Anyone can start a business and become an owner. But not everyone wants to. Some people just want to work and come home. Being an owner means that you are taking a risk. Being a worker means that when you are done, you’re done. Workers are part of the capitalist system as well. The worker has a commodity (his time and skill) and is selling it for money. As he gets better skills he trades it for more money. If he has a poor commodity (slacker, etc) he gets less money or a poorer job. If he finds a better customer (employer) he can leave his current situation and sell his time to the new customer. In socialism the slacker and the go getter receive the same pay, removing incentive to do better. And the one percent are just those in the government.

  Detroit- because it’s good entertainment. I need to laugh from time to time.

• Did Paul Ryan Really Just ‘Reject’ Ayn Rand?

  April 28, 2012 at 1:25pm

  In reply to HowardSternIsABigot.

  Yeah- I have a friend that decided he didn’t like me anymore. He made a big deal out of the fact that I quote both Catholic teachers and Ayn Rand. The article pretty much describes how I feel about her. I like her vision of Government and dislike her vision of atheism. I also have no problem with charity.

  In reply to The Third Archon.

  Why isn’t the church allowed to talk about politics? Media matters does and they’re non profit. The reason the church is non profit (aside from the fact that they don’t try to make a profit) is they run charities, schools, Hospitals, clinics for the poor and such. I don’t see the connection.

  In reply to Ralpie.

  My lord you’re misinformed…. He KILLED priests. He was snubbed by Pope Piuos before he was Pope, and he used his ‘friendship as a cover up and saved the lives of lots of Jews by hiding them out at his Summer house. (Kind of like Schindler) He was declared a righteous Gentile by the Jewish leaders at the time. Hitler’s main spiritualism was New age and the teachings of a man called Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.
