Excellence In America : Navy SEAL Not Guilty! This is STILL America!

Fri, 7 May 2010 20:00:45 +0000

Sure that's the point of "a trial", but the point of "this trial" was politically motivated. The system did work, but it was all unnecessary to begin with. All this did was inject "worry" into the minds of military members that they better not fight too hard or they just might be brought up on assualt charges... for doing their job. When our soldiers start having to worry about that & our government lends more credibility to what the alleged terrorist says than our own service members... people die, people on our side. That's not something they need to be concerned with in War.

Thank God the system worked, but there is plenty of justification to be angry about putting these guys through all this in the first place.

Excellence In America : Immigration Reform, Then What? Amnesty? Deportation?

Thanks for stopping in! That's a horrible story, clearly that school you went to was staffed by incompetents.

I imagine as an adult you can appreciate how far we have come as a Nation since the days you were in Kindergarten. To me, I can't imagine something like your story happening to someone today, I'm not saying it couldn't... but we've come a long way. Don't you think?

Children are watching, that's why I want this debate to be strictly about immigration. People who try to inject "race" are only diverting attention away from the problems. Bringing race into the debate doesn't further anything & only results in name calling.

Government is a necessary evil. But... Americans have been lulled into believing that ours is "different" and really, really, really, loves us & wants to take care of us. Who ever it was who invented the television... you sir (or madame) had no consideration for the consequences of your actions.

1. "The notion that 'If you don't believe in laissez faire, then you must be a communist.' ... is just not true... the government has a role to play, both in regulating the economy and moderating the swings of the business cycle". The government does have a role to play and I think that even those who eat, breath, & sleep laissez faire would acknowledge that. Governments role in the marketplace, it's "economic planning", is policy creation to make competition as effective & beneficial as possible. The problem is when the planning becomes a substitute for competition... or policies designed to "level the playing field". This is the type of government intervention that leads to disaster in the long run and even in terms of immediate effects, these are counter-productive to economic growth. Competition is not only the most efficient, but it is the only method by which the activities of hundred of millions of individuals "can be adjusted to each other without coercive or arbitrary intervention of authority." [F.A. Hayek. "Road to Serfdom"] Jason Bradley

2. "a society in which there are a great many wealthy people instead of just a few" I think we live in that society. 3. "[society] in which that wealth tends to be earned, not inherited." Why shouldn't an individual be able to take the wealth that she has accumulated over a lifetime, by her own labor, and direct it to whom she chooses to inherit it? 4. "a system of free market competition that is a reasonably fair one, and one more conducive to the success of many than just that of a few" Central planning for the organization of resources & activities necessary to realize a distributive outcome or consciously constructed ideal would have to be consciously adverse & aim to substitute competition. This is essentially the "Collectivism" described in F.A. Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom". Jason Bradley

1. "communism rejects the legitimacy of private property while progressives do not." Progressivism respects private property rights so long as "the state" doesn't see, what it believes to be, a "better use" of the private individual's land & resources therein (higher tax revenue, a new shopping center for "economic development", etc.). Taking property for the convenience & in the interest of government (but of course under the headline "for the common good") is also a rejection of the legitimacy of private property. This attitude, that one may own property so long as its convenient for or in the best interest for the community/the state, is a progressive one expressed by Teddy Roosevelt.

Excellence In America : It's Time to Discard the Race Card

In my 'non-professional' opinion... sounds like Gates has some issues that need worked out. The guy went into the police station when he first moved into the town, with a staright face, to let them know that his Mercedes was owned legitimately by him, so he wouldn't constantly be pulled over... can you spell "schizophrenia"...?
