I still fail to see how exempting churches and religious organizations from being forced to violate their principals is the right thing to do, but regular ole business owners with principals are still going to be forced to support violations of their beliefs.

Liberals keep telling us that corporations aren't people, yet here they will only allow corporate entities first amendment rights but not individuals.

Any mandate that any organization or individual MUST provide these controversial coverages in the insurance they offer is wrong. How would these liberals feel if someone came along and required them to finance their employees gun or bible purchases?

Just got back from the caucus.

There were 51 of us in our precinct ... Mitt Romney got 1 vote (ha ha). Ron Paul got 4, Newt got 18 and the rest (29) went to Rick Santorum (who apparently just won Missouri).

Keeping in mind that I'm in one of the most conservative precincts in one of the most conservative counties in the US (I'm in Colorado Springs) I still figure Mitt has the best chance of taking Colorado, but boy I hope Santorum pulls it off.

Go re-read my comment.

I said "...he repeats the same anti-American rhetoric that the "Blame America First" liberals do (albeit for different reasons and with different solutions)." The parenthetical statement there is the important bit you may have missed.

The left says these anti-American/Blame America First things because they believe America, capitalism and western culture are evil. Ron Paul clearly doesn't believe those things, but he uses THE EXACT SAME PHRASES AND RHETORIC that the left uses and THAT is why older folk don't like him.

I believe that Ron Paul loves America, the Constitution and Western Civilization, but when you use the same terms and phrases that the enemies of America, the Constitution and Western Civilization use you're going to turn people off.

Again, that is more the reason that older folk don't like Paul than the author's assertion that we're all just too stupid to realize that he's right about the Fed.

I also disagree that the problems in the Middle East are "largely of our own making" ... They are largely the making of a schizophrenic with homosexual and pedophilic tendencies that codified hate and warfare into a so-called religion back in the 600s AD. Kissing Muslim backsides doesn't make them want to kill you any less (in fact it encourages them).

Y'all enjoy your bread and circuses ... enjoy watching a bunch of over paid union members distract you from what is going on.

Older people don't despise Ron Paul because of his economic/Fed policies, they despise him because he repeats the same anti-American rhetoric that the "Blame America First" liberals do (albeit for different reasons and with different solutions). He comes off as a joo-hating truther.

Love of country is seen by young people as at best outmoded thinking and at worst nothing better than jingoism (and thus bad). Even some young conservatives.

Ron Paul appeals to a lot of other young people that reject the socialism that has dominated Democrat policies and platform for the last half century (or longer ... I'd say the party crossed the line to commie with Wilson but the rank and file didn't get there until the 60s) But buy into the lie that conservatism means you have to agree with the Christian Right and other lies the Dems tell about Republicans (like that we're repressed, un-fun, sexist, racist, homophobic bigots).

As far as Dr Paul's policies on the economy and the Fed, I have met maybe 5 Paul supporters that can actually explain his policies at all. Most of them only know that the Fed is a private corporation (and thus evil) *facepalm*.

Hopefully.

The sooner decent workin' folk realize that the Unions represent the Occupy kids and the rich Democrats in DC more than the dues paying workers the better.

We had a ballot initiative here in Colorado an election or two ago that would have made us "right to work" ... I'm still surprised it failed and didn't get the support of a lot of working class conservative Republicans I know.

Excellent! (rubs hands together while laughing maniacally)

I've been waiting for Big Labor to rip their mask off and show us the mustachioed face of Stalin ... too many Americans believe that the unions are looking out for the workers.

Interrupt their [the workin' man's] Super Bowl and you'll wake up millions of sleeping laborers to the anti-American greed/hate machine that is organized labor.

pay for these thugs, or keep their own wages from them.

*** Just In *** Washington Post reports unions have backed down and will not disrupt the Super Bowl. “The president of Indiana AFL-CIO is promising union members will not disrupt the Super Bowl festivities in Indianapolis”

Darn :(

Until most black folk get off the Democrat plantation and start thinking for themselves, they're never going to realize Dr. King's dream en masse.

While I agree with you that that is their plan, its clearly not working.

AWB not renewed (most of them thought it would be a slam dunk to renew).
CCW laws expanding across the country.
Heller case pretty much incorporated the Second Amendment (and will lead to other gun bans falling).

Its so bad that they had to give guns to Mexican drug cartels to try to make the case for more gun control and you can see how that blew up in their face.

Which F-word?
