Strict libertarians are disliked for some of their own insane ideas. Tom Send a noteboard - 31/08/2010 06:21:12 PM
They have this antique idea about returning to the gold standard, which is about as practical as returning to the horse as the primary means of transportation. They also, due to extreme suspicion of the Federal government, want to get rid of the army, which is about as wise as having the Zetas responsible for law enforcement.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

You cannot seriously agree with the Republicans about extending the Bush tax cuts. Legolas - 30/08/2010 09:07:59 AM 679 Views
I would target lowering the corporate rate and helping pass-through entities with cuts. Tom - 30/08/2010 02:52:55 PM 738 Views
