  • The content of this post will be soon be dismissed, not because of its substance, but because it is from Fox News.

  • Yup, they tend to be city dwelling sewer rats, inbred yellow necks that think the American taxpayer owes them a living. Subhuman species that follow Obama like your typical sheep. voted

  • These are possibly the 5 best sentences out there:


    1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

    2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

    3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

    4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

    5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other h More..

  • this guy has some interesting viewpoints, but he didnt really offer a single solution himself, in the end he was just complaining about liberals like most of the peanut gallery on this website

    • @ElegantDecline I'm sure you have the solutions though..maybe we can start genetically engineering and producing "perfect" individuals..I mean do you honestly believe if We (every individual on the planet) all started over, on an even playing field, that everyone would stay exactly even? No one would advance and bring more prosperity to themselves and no one would be a complete idiot, drink, smoke, squander their wealth and then expect someone to take care of them?? What T. Sowell is More..

    • @EgotismAtItsFinest You see the problem with you and your T Sowell is that in order to create a coherent argument, you have to create the abominable bogey man as a rival.

      NO ONE thinks that we're all going to be 'exactly even'
      I have never heard an American 'liberal' aka Clinton, Obama, Kerry, Hilary, remotely suggest that is possible or indeed desirable.

      However a massive lack of healthcare and education are specific issues that yes society as a whole should always be seeking solutions for, e More..

  • people who speak in the language of "conservatives" and "liberals" as if they're binary forces, are simpletons.
