    3 Misconceptions That Need to Die

    I'm born and raised in New Orleans and have a very broad understanding of the battle of New Orleans. I don't think those Creoles, Free Men of Colour, Slaves, and Pirates were strong American nationalists before the Brits came. I KNOW the Creoles weren't.

    3 Misconceptions That Need to Die

    I don't think the average American in the early 1800's had all that much grit till the crisis came. In my opinion the same would happen again. It's happened many times in our history.

    3 Misconceptions That Need to Die

    Don't ever count the USA out. We've been under thunk since the Brits did in the early 1800's. If you're forced to bet put it all on the USA.

    Does abortion *really* matter to most voters?

    and if the "politicians" answered something like "I think the laws are terrible and I'll do my best to (fill in the blank)" would that influence your vote?

    Does abortion *really* matter to most voters?

    I think: It matters a lot to "Christian Conservatives" , "Women's Rights" advocates, Hard core "conservatives", "Liberals, and "Progressives". Combined they are a rather large group. 30 - 40%??

    Warren Buffett's challenge to republicans: put your money where your mouth is

    Thank you. I should have clarified my comment. Hating what someone does is very different from hating them, I think. Hating to have to do something is different from hating the thing you hate to do. For example since I live in a State where retirement income is not taxable I hate doing the...

    Warren Buffett's challenge to republicans: put your money where your mouth is

    They didn't say they "hated" him. Hate is a long way up from vilification even vulgar vilification. I think.

    Warren Buffett's challenge to republicans: put your money where your mouth is

    I ask for personal reasons - I believe that to "hate" is a dreadful sin. Haters are deplorable people. I was a "hater" for most of my life but in my late 50's or 60's I came to realize how self destructive that awful emotion is and pray that all "haters" come to that realization. I think long...
