The Republican leadership is corrupt and must be stopped. Given that the Republicans will have both the House and Senate, we don't really need the president as well. Vote Ron Paul, even if you have to write in his name. We do not need a big-government Republican who likes high taxes and big spending - if there's going to be anything of that sort, let Obama do it and have the Democrats take the rap. And take any money you would have donated to the Republican Party and instead donate it directly to the campaigns of conservative Senate candidates in swing states. For instance, Todd Akin (R-MO), who's been unfairly trashed by the liberal media - about what you'd expect from them - but also thrown under the bus by his own party leadership, who (like in the case of Ron Paul) saw a chance to get rid of another strong conservative.

If the latter, then the answer is simple - tax women more and build more toilets using the money.

Bankrupting us is therefore rather counterproductive. Especially since the countries with the biggest populations aren't going to sign on to anything restrictive and will more than make up for any reductions in pollution we manage to do.

Let him have his moment. On a more interesting topic - does it do us any good for to have more inventions than any other country if all the manufacturing has moved out due to unions and taxation? As the MIT Technical Journal pointed out recently, outsourcing leads to a disconnect between inventors and manufacturing, to the point where it stifles innovation and allows other countries to steal our inventions, improve on them, and then export back here to compete with us. The unions need to be reigned in or the inventors of tomorrow will never get off the ground.

This is hardly the same thing as the Chinese locking up bears in confined cages and then harvesting their bile, which has resulted in some of the bears committing suicide. PETA should be focusing 100% of its efforts on that instead of wasting time and money on this, especially considering they're going to lose and most people are just going to hate their guts.

And you'll notice that there's little or no actual censorship (yet...) China actively prevents material it considers "harmful" from being posted online, and locks up people who break the censorship rules. We might get there eventually if things keep going the way they're going, but we're still at least several steps away, and at least in the US, the general population is well-armed and not particularly interested in being censored.

This would give the government a mechanism for shutting down any websites it doesn't like - power which it might use during a coup to eliminate the voice of the opposition.

That having been said, we can't afford to keep fielding shuttles that cost billions of dollars, and in my opinion it doesn't matter if converting to private manned spaceflight takes a decade rather than five years - it will still be infinitely more cost-effective in the long run and will give us an edge again. Conventional shuttles can't cut it any more.

Europe has several percent higher unemployment, a significantly lower standard of living, more crime, more riots, worse healthcare, etc. Don't we all want to be like them? Incidently, spewing incomprehensible garbage doesn't help your point of view any.

Europe is competing with us economically, so a US president who destroys our economy is just what they want. Not to mention Europe is becoming quite Muslim, and Obama's supporting the radicals in Libya and Egypt and throwing Israel under the bus. I say we export Obama to Europe and let them have him.

We need to either annex Mexico and clean it up, or block ourselves off from it entirely.

The Internet is not inherently evil - in fact it can be quite educational if you use it for research - the real problem is games and/or social networking sites that require constant attention and therefore don't allow you to focus on anything else. It's like spending your entire life standing in the center of a crowded meeting hall.

We're supposed to be PROMOTING patriotism, not crushing it in the name of not offending other cultures. This is the US, if you don't like the US you can very well go somewhere else.

Christians are murdered in large numbers, women are executed for being raped, women are whipped or beaten if they don't cover their entire bodies, politicians who aren't considered radical enough are assassinated, gays are executed, and suicide bombers are exported to other countries. Going from a secular Egyptian leader to one endorsed by the Muslim Brotherhood is not exactly helping freedom or world peace.

"Bilal's friend reacted by later burning down a police station... But Bilal, thanks largely to the influence of his pious Muslim mother, rejects hate and fear." So if only we were all more Muslim, the world would be full of flowers and rainbows! Never mind that virtually all terrorist acts around the world are done by Muslims, and that includes burning cars and buildings in France. This is liberal propaganda, plain and simple. Now if there were two Muslim characters and one were the "bad" firebombing Muslim and the other the "good" peaceful Muslim, that might be more helpful.

They're shutting down US industry, making it impossible to fire even the most evil and/or incompetent teachers, etc - all so union leadership and Democrat politicians can benefit at the expense of the general population. Their powers need some SERIOUS reduction.

In all fairness, even if Brown had been actually working hard to do something useful, it's unlikely he could have succeeded, given that Schwarzenegger got basically shut down by the rest of the state even though he spent millions of dollars of his own money funding special votes on economic issues (he's still a racist and totally wrong on environmental issues, but he was better than the alternative at the time...)

So many people are addicted to drugs, booze, sex, cigarettes, food, etc. (especially food) these days, and then try to blame it on someone else or some obscure genetic predisposition.
