Rubio got destroyed, Rand is out so that leaves Trump or Cruz to take on Hillary. Just like 2012 I hope the Republican Party burns to the ground and they finally realize their evangelical base is killing them.
Bring back Goldwater era conservatism and they "might" be able to win a national...
Gas prices have nothing to do with the stimulus though, that's due to fracking and higher production which led to OPEC drastically increasing production to lower cost to put the hurt of US production. These low gas cost are awesome yet those companies have already been laying off Americans...
There are subsets of libertarians who are anarcho-capitalists, anarchists, etc. but there are far more extremely limited government types.
Same deal with other parties and their multitude of factions.
Seems folks have already covered this but I'll just chime in.
I've spent roughly 5 years in these countries over the last 16 years and have a great deal of experience in the region through daily interaction with the local nationals and their police/military/low level government. One thing...
The amount of stupid being thrown around by Sanders supporters on this topic is baffling to be honest.
Over the course of 24 hours I had Sanders supporters saying Colleges drastically raising tuition costs was the direct result of the free market, more government intervention was needed, and...
Rand is talking about positive and negative rights to (what I'd imagine to be) an audience of highly religious people since al the answers are similar.
Rights aren't given to us from government they "should" just be protected by the government.
The OP says "Did Rand really just say that?"...
Out of all the bs here, if this is going to happen it should look similar to this. I don't agree with making education free for various reasons but if it's put into law the shit needs to be hard.
Regionally accredited schools and online colleges have EXPLODED because of free government money...
Paul drew larger crowds than that and raised way more money. He started a hardcore conservative movement in the Tea Party whom won a ton of seats in Congress. He started a movement (Liberty movement) and single handily brought libertarianism to the forefront of news which is still seen today...
That's my point, it's just simple ignorance. I'm not using it in a derogatory manner. Simply investing in Mutual Funds or IRAs, etc is pretty easy folks just don't even grasp the concept.
Maybe in a savings account, most all other avenues for investing show a larger return than 1% unless you want to invest in government bonds for whatever reason.
Eh I honestly feel it's just ignorance and poor choices. Being born to the lowest of the low in this country you can get to the middle class working a minimum wage job for 5-10 years.
Severe debt, bad habits and not saving are why people are ultimately poor. The rich get richer due to large...
Agreed but it would be a clear sign of the will of the people if either of them won which way the country is swinging. It would only be a matter of time imo that certain key policies get implemented.
I don't think the economy would stay the course, they would raise the income tax to 90% and probably raise the capital gains taxes quite a bit. With either a Paul or Sanders presidency we would see some sort of change good or bad.
Oh I agree that's just what I want to see, like Jhhnn said both represent a more true to the core philosophy of their basic principles.
Either we go full democratic socialist or we go more pre evangelical insanity conservatism. Somewhat Goldwater in nature to a point but certainly better...
It's harder for poor people to get to the middle class than it is for the middle class to move to the upper class but poverty is not voluntary. I wouldn't volunteer to be in poverty. That said it's definitely possible for anyone to move up to the middle class primarily if they understand...
I really want to see Bernie Sanders vs Rand Paul in the general election. It would put all the bullshit out there and show where the country honestly wants to go.
Either more conservative (minus the bullshit) or more liberal (minus the bullshit).
Every other candidate is basically the...
8k seems cheap for an actual working van with supposed up armored paneling, bullet proof glass and all the mods involved. To me I would think it's a movie prop.
If people could seriously up armor their vehicles for 2-3k they'd be all over the place.
That's like saying adding a ton of salt/grease = better taste. It's subjective to be sure, but if you are specifically arguing the "meat" where you get a steak of each variety cook exactly the same and eat only a meaty portion of said steaks it's not really in question imo.
A grass fed steak...
That's basically it, if one grew a tomato in some Scott's garden mixed with cow manure and any GMO tomato was grown like it normally is if you picked both at the same time there probably is not a distinct difference in taste.
I'm a pro local farmers market /paleo guy and the only thing I know...
This isn't a big deal for the most part, in the Military (Army at least) we place emphasis on new soldiers and these types of things.
Most E4 and below are told to go see ACS (Army Community Services) prior to getting any sort of loan or when buying a car. They have people who actively...
My question still applies though if what you all are saying is correct. Flight is just individuals looking out for themselves which is human in nature.
Why do white people have to live in these communities to make their lives better? Do black people need white peoples tax money to have...
I've seen this said many times now "white flight", this isn't directed at you but my question is are white people what it takes to make these communities successful?
I don't understand why it's even a factor to just simply say "oh these communities have just went downward after white people...
I wish I could get a live stream somewhere without having to have a cable sub. There is just way too much text based coverage to go through it all.
Is it getting better or worse?
Doesn't make any less true, most conservatives and liberals have no idea that for the first 90 or so days after 9/11 Iran was actually helping the U.S. with Afghanistan unless the Axis of Evil speech in which GWB laid the groundwork for breaking whatever ties could have come from that.
Iran is...
Haven't posted in almost a year and glad to see Conservatives being ignorant as all fuck in foreign policy.
Edit: and my signature speaks volumes about my stance on this issue.
I don't believe so because all cable companies are forced to provide all local channels in their most basic packages so it's a mute point. I'm not sure how an Cable card and OTA TV tuner would play together in WMC if at all.
I just wouldn't ever subscribe to cable under any circumstance...
I've been using an HTPC for 5 years now originally started with a dell Inspiron 580S with a Centon cable tuner and WMC.
Over the years I've pretty much settled on the following:
SABnzbd
Sick beard
Couch Potato
With that alone and a server hard wired to a wireless router you are set free.
It...
Speaking as a libertarian some of you conservatives are fucking nuts. Holy shit you guys fall for anything goddamn. I don't post anywhere near as often since I am somewhat deployed but this shit started hitting my Facebook feed earlier in the week. I couldn't help but think how stupid some of...
It's not because they don't want to it's because they can't. The IP and ISF is and always will be a shit show. We trained them for years and the moment they do not have American support they lay down their arms and run.
They have zero loyalties and can barely function as an Army (ISF) or...
The IDF should just clear out all of Gaza and expand it's borders. Lying about their reasons seems like a pretty absurd justification when they have rockets fired all the time. They should honestly just clear and occupy 30 miles in every direction of their borders. It's not like anyone...
We have already been brief here in Korea. 2 shooters with iirc 1 dead and multiple wounded. It might be old now as that was an hour ago. I'd imagine it will climb.
My HAAP is Fort Hood after this tour too.
How do they do this exactly? Not all firefighters get close to 30hrs and some go over it all the time. The IRS is going to have to take this and run with it not just for firefighters but other companies aswell.
