Re: Corrupt American Politics
Your absolutely right. Between the corrupt unions and so-called special interest groups it's impossible to find an honest person in Washington.

Re: Shafting the middle class
Camacho: "By paying off debt. There are costs associated with debt. Interest, for instance." That was a pitiful stretch. So, there is no way that raising taxes on gasoline prevent the costs from going up. It's also not surprising that you see raising taxes as the way to reduce our debt. Wh...

Re: Shafting the middle class
Interbane: "That's profound. Our government hates it's constituents! Where is the government's brain located, that it might be hateful?" Forty-seven percent of the "constituents" pay no income tax. A major percentage of the "middle class" work for the government. The se...

Re: Shafting the middle class
Amazing. Without the government there would be no automobiles or gasoline. That's frigging pitiful. Both were developed long before we got a nanny state. You sound like you're from California, for pity's sake. I'll be you believe there was no healthcare in the U.S. before Barak Obama was nominated t...

Re: Shafting the middle class
Camacho: "As far as taxes on gas - they need to increase and not decrease in my opinion. This would serve multiple purposes and may help keep gas prices in check." Oh, yeh. That makes sense. Raise taxes to prevent to cost of gas from going up. Right. Hey, it's worked for cigarette, right. ...

Re: Shafting the middle class
You live in California and read Huffinton Post. Have you considered that for you upset is the norm?
Does it upset you that when you buy a gallon of gas, more of what you pay goes to the government than goes as profit to the company providing you with gasoline?

Re: Censorship
For me, the 1st Amendment protects all speech. The amendment didn't specify any type of speech and in my opinion that makes it global. Of course, government desperately wants to control speech so this amendment has been under attack since day one. We are, in my opinion, at a time in history where th...

Re: Westboro Baptist Church demo foiled!
I'm a retired police officer. I am aware that the Supreme Court has held this group of nuts has a right to protest. I am unaware of a recognized right to have a peaceful funeral. My family rarely has peaceful funerals. I worked through the demonstrations in the 60s and 70s and believe the police hav...

Re: Westboro Baptist Church demo foiled!
A. Apparently we can't agree that Westboro is a hate group and not a valid church. One poster used this as an opportunity to pursue his childish hatreds. Rather sad.
B. We have to be careful cheering the police when they cross the line because you never know when it will be you across the line.
