THE FACTS FROM A TRUE CONSERVATIVE, NOT A BUSH BIG SPENDING, DEBT LOVING CONSERVATIVE IN NAME ONLY.

Let me correct myself; another major difference is the world did not have the high deficits as a legacy of the 75 years of Keytnesianism that the Great Depression gave rise to. Fortunately, there is one positive difference and that is productive output is much higher today. We are much more likely to go into a Japan style economy of no growth for decades.

The one major difference is the movement of the money supply. Ironically, it is the Fed's expansion of the money supply that could trigger a trade war.

Basically, the unpaid increase in government in the last 30 years has set up a political minefield for those of all ideologies. It is gonna take some bitter medicine to get us out of this mess.

The recent recommendations of the bipartisan commission recommended three parts spending cuts for every one part tax increase. Of course, no one on either side of the aisle likes it because it means they will have to tell people you cannot have your cake and eat it too. For too many years we have been living at the expense of the next generation to the point where the massive debts are now affecting us. Sooner or later something has to be done, and it better be sooner. There is a reason Britain and Europe are making tough decisions now.

Anybody who thinks the US was needed to beat Hitler is clearly delusional, Not worthy of debating. Like debating the existance of Santa with a six year old. The kind of person who believes legally stopping people from voting is the same as wishing someone would not vote. Korea: South Korea's ecomomy is greater by more than 10 times North Korea's. They can defend their own nation. In fact our stupidity of having troops on the border is the only thing stopping North Korea from entering the trash heap of history. As you can see, folks. People will go to great lengths to defend their own pet governmnt programs. Cutting spending will not be easy. Why is it liberals/progressives always think we should be like the French?

There would be less war in the world if we would stop engaging in war., common sense. No Hitler's on the horizon. Of course the Russians had him beat anyways. We were not needed in Europe. Some people think if they label something they are engaging in intelligent debate.

Isolationism would include not engaging in international trade. No one is recommending isolationism here. What I recommend is the policy presented in Washington's Farewell Address, liberalized trade with, all entangling alliances with none. War is another big government program. Of course, defense cuts would just partially address the smallest of our triple deficits. There are going to have to be some tough decisions to address SS and healthcare.

The fact is there are enough Americans to turn an election who believe we can continue to have low taxes and high spending. Those who want low taxes need to persuade the majority of voters to give up entitlements.To attack entitlements without persuading voters first of the need for it would be to make the same mistake Obama made in reverse. Obama tried to shove healthcare down our throats the outcome was the Democrats got routed. We live in perilous times for a politician. Defense spending can be cut dramatically: stop being the world's policeman. Declare victory in Afghanistan and go home. Tell Israel to take care of themselves. Abolish Homeland Security and repeal the Patriot Act. Remove our troops from Europe and Korea. Save a few bucks, and the lives of our soldiers and at the same time leave our citizens safer. Let the nuts in the ME kill each other. Stop restricting supply in the medical field. Eliminate licensing requirements for all those engaged in medicine. Eliminate prescription requirements.Watch healthcare costs drop dramatically.

The fact that everyone else does not believe the guy in the rubber room is Napoleon does not imply a double standard.

Angle was an absolutely horrible candidate.

You're possition dum.

As a radical libertarian I believe cocaine should be legal. I do not believe people should use it. I believe the American Communist Party has a right to exist. I do not believe people should join them. I believe you should be allowed to pick your nose in front of your date on the first date. I do not believe you should do it. It is a simple concept that only a total idiot could not understand.

And we don't pay em crap either.

We got two years of gridlock. Gridlock ain't that bad.

Kid 1, Geezer 0

Anyone with half a brain knows that the higher the turnout the higher the percentage of liberal voters. High turnouts are not good.

The fewer people who vote the better off this nation is.

The person wanting foreigners receiving benefits from taxes on local citizens is Times. I don't call that conservative.

I have had three morbidly obese friends in my lifetime. Two are dead, at age 44 and 55. That word morbidly means something.

Hope you had a great one.

The original purpose of government is protect individuals from external and internal aggressors, not from accidents. There is no inalienable right to fire services.

You're quite ignorant/uninformed if you think John Stewart is "small". Jon Stewart is the voice of those who choose to not think for themselves and take comedy out of context as political fact. Colbert is at least funny.

The residents of Obion County will get another chance to vote for fire services. That is the way it should be. Times is the big government guy here. Seems to think everyone should have fire services whether they want it or not.

You're quite ignorant/uninformed if you think John Stewart is "small". Does your anus still hurt?
