"There are no atheists in foxholes."

Those who have been in the crucible of war can relate. Those who haven't, (such as our president), probably can't.

It not what's on the coversheet that matters, it's what inside the soldier.

For anyone who will risk the ultimate sacrifice for their country, they can pray if they want,

and all that they want,

to whomever they choose.

I will not deny them.

I prefer a consumption tax to an income tax, but the "Fair" tax as proposed is a lousy idea, as (1) the rate is too high & cedes too much power to the Federal government, & (2) assets already taxed at the corporate & individual levels would be subject to taxation yet again.

I am opposed to any & every form of income tax. Repeal the 16th Amendment.

The best option I see is to (1) scale back Federal government on a grand scale, & (2) revert to taxes levied evenly on imports.

I know that my position is in "Never Never Land", but as it stands, so is the "Fair" tax.

BTW--I'm still waiting for one of you to explain to me how anyone could think that the "Fair" tax rate is 22 or 23 percent. Refer to the top of the May 6 thread, "Another Uninformed Fair Tax Critic" before you launch into the "inclusive/exclusive" spiel.

And the problem with those quotes on the briefing papers is what exactly?

It's not from Congress, and doesn't look like it's passing any sort of law establishing a religion. So it's not violating the law or constitution.

So what?

Gubment Motors will work as ‘well’ here as it has everywhere else it’s been tried.

Dead Americans DO matter to environmentalists They blame Americans for most of the world’s pollution, so a dead American is ‘worth’ more to them in reducing man’s footprint on the environment than anyone else.

Don’t ‘worry’ gas prices will go through the roof and stay (once ‘cap and trade’ starts) there with hussein and the dp’s energy plan.

Love the “Hokey Pokey” blurb. I’m stuck trying to make, “Playing politics with national security is what it’s all about” rhyme.

School choice isn’t an option for the teacher’s unions. That is why parents who want choice must be willing and able to pay twice for their child’s education. The msm will always let the dp skate for their blatant hypocrisy on this.

What will they be quoting now, “The Communist Manifesto,” “Rules for Radicals,” “Mao’s Little Red Book?” I wouldn’t be shocked if quotes from “Dreams of My Muslim Father,” “The Audacity of Hope,” or his own quotes supplanted The Bible either. I can’t wait ‘til they bring back the “White House Condom Tree,” tradition.

That ‘muslim leader,’ in VA said lots of other absurd things in that article. Nothing surprising though, he supports cop killers, convicted terrorists, and radical imams.

Biden must have meant 150,000 government jobs, but left out it cost millions of private sector jobs to ‘create’ them.

Obesity cause is double sided. A person can eat all they want and never gain a pound as long as they burn it off. A person can forgo exercise as long as they eat only enough to keep their bodily functions going (which isn’t healthy, but we are talking about fat.).

I was hoping those NSB cover sheets would feature a “dead terrorist of the day,” featuring the highest ranking terrorist or bathist killed in the last 24 hours.

This is profound because all of the op-ed pieces, all of the chest-thumbing, podium-pounding campaign speeches about closing GITMO, the vicious slander perpetrated by the leftwing MSM has turned out to be.........nothing more than empty campaign rhetoric. Not to mention that Bush/Cheney are now vindicated by a court ruling. (Stan Gable, this is a pre-emptive shut up: I can't stand your infantile argumentation, you clearly suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome).

Hypocrisy, thy name is Obama.

The anti-American left is exposed.

Most men pray to God when their life is on line in battle. We are not Crusaders, but Christian soldiers. Men and women who are protecting non-Christian people. But isn't that Christ like. Now we must follow a president that is more like Steve Urkel than John Wayne. God protect each of our sons and daughters; more from our own government than the enemy. We can fight them.

Concerning the Bible quotes on the intel. breifs; I'm not religious, but the large majority of our soldiers fighting for us are christians. When I hear them complaining, I'll pay more attention.

I am not sure why the treaty with Tripoli doesn't totally close down this debate.

What part of the statement that "the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" is so hard to comprehend.

I try to read books that both support and challenge my positions so I will add the book you suggested to the list and read it.

Known fact in retail - the best way to pass a bad check is late in the afternoon, right before closing when the employees are ready to go home - now almost obsolete since no one writes checks but still viable when passing bills in the House.

Christy,
those were Bush's coversheets, put together by Don Rumsfeld. Obama had nothing to do with them. Cute, yes, but it is in terrible taste to position our soldiers as Christian Crusaders in the Middle East. ....remember how well the last Crusades went over in that area of the world?

Neal is right. The free market will sell fuel efficient cars when there is a high enough demand for them. If gas prices go back up ($3-$4/gal) then people will be more inclined to buy them.

Then again, that exact reason could be why so many democrats don't want to open up new drilling sites in the US.

I can't remember the last time I was this mad about anything. The plan is idiotic. I'm currently driving a Corolla, which already gets 35-38 MPG. I didn't need the government to tell me what car I wanted, I researched and found it on my own. I really want an Audi R8, but I can't afford it right now. The problem with the R8 is that it gets like 8MPG! I don't want the government telling me I can't buy a high powered gas gusler.

If they really wanted to change the market the government already had the tools. All they needed to do was issue an import tax on oil. Domestic oil could still be tax free. This would make the greenies happy, it would also keep us from supporting Russia and Saudi Arabia. It would do so much more for their cause as well as keeping more money in the US. Then I would still be free to buy my 8mpg sports car, I'd just have to pay more for the fuel.

Their was a simple solution that didn't take away my liberty and freedom. Instead this American Dictator decided he know how best to ruin the economy. What a jerk.

This isn't on the sight, but was mentioned on the show. The mother in hiding to prevent her kid from getting chemo? Prison for the rest of her life. The religious (Cult) leader? Prison for the rest of his life. Every adult involved that did not intervene? Prison for the rest of their lives. Religious freedom DOES NOT extend to homicide.

To be fair, I've met plenty of people who's religion IS government.

Imagine what we'd look if we ate Vegemite, too. Oz is experiencing their own obesity explosion, but by what I've read, they haven't had the funds to study why thoroughly. Maybe they could've used the funds for this study on that?

"Deadbeats" is what the credit card industry calls people like me who pay their bills on time and in full every month. It infuriates me that I will be punished by annual fees and my account will be charged interest from the time I swipe my card. The worst part is that it is almost impossible to survive without credit cards. I would give mine up in a heartbeat. Do you ever hear of laws being passed to protect people that do the right thing? I didn’t think so.

Look folks, other talk hosts have said that the Democrats will not be saddled with defeat with their being in charge. Even though they have bashed Bush since this thing began.

You know I am surprised that Copyleft hasn't chimed in because the leftist in Congress have backpedaled on funding the closing of GTMO. But then again, when does Copyleft and other leftists point out inconsistencies from the left? We know the Mainstream media does not.

I agree with the new efficiency standards....and no Neal, the cars will not be any less safer like you foolishly suggested this a.m. on the radio.
We have been stuck on stupid for the longest. Creating new technologies and/or increasing MPG will lessen our need for foreign oil. So what it might cost us an extra $1300 by 2016...6 yrs from now.
Crusing down I-20 at 35-45 MPG + in a mid-size luxury car or full size SUV is what I am talking about!! I guarantee you if full sized SUV's/Trucks got min. 30-35 MPG on the hwy, sales would increase 3 fold and it would lessen our dependence on foreign oil.

Honda and Ford both make an diesel car that gets 60-70 mpg....guess what? They are only sold in europe and not the states. Go figure.... The technology exists folks. Everyone is in bed with each other here in the states. I would think that most Americans (80% plus) would support this measure.

i don't care what the politicians gave to the poor in order to get their votes.
i want to know what the politicians received from the lobbyists in order to sell their votes.

Consider the wisdom of this statement.

""Attempting to win people's vote through dispensing public assets is a dangerous phenomenon employed for the first time (by Ahmadinejad's government)," said a statement Tuesday by a reformist party called the Islamic Revolution Mujahedeen Organization."

Imagine if we would get government educated Americans to understand this.

...doesn't mention the Fair Tax prebate, which is central to answering the 'Fair Tax is a regressive tax' criticism. The reader comments on the article show that the readers seem to know about it, but any casual reader would be misled by the substance of the article itself. Still, that is one of the kindest and most balanced descriptions of Fair Tax I've read in a while.

It's official, we now live in a fascist police state where the Federal Government dictates to “private” industry what they can manufacture and sell.

Prez OBOZO has not even produced his birth certificate and we allow him to do this?

Every day I wake up to another communist program.

Pardon me while I go puke.
