    Remember Ed Brown? Well...

    June Update: Some very interesting news concerning Ed Brown's story. For those of you unfamiliar with this story: Edward Lewis Brown - Wikipedia June 7th, 2007: Officials: No Raid Planned On Tax Evaders, Supporter Detained June 7th, 2007: US Marshalls Serve Warrant to Seize Brown's Dental...

    Oregon governor signs gay rights bills

    I'm not sure if this is a step in the right direction. I do want this to become a more gay tolerant culture, but personally I think discrimination laws are bullshit, and so is the marriage license and government benefits. We don't have to be regressive towards propertarianism in order to be...

    Poll finds some US Muslim support for suicide attacks

    You seriously can't see what's wrong with punishing someone for the victimless act of holding an opinion? First of all, what we need to do is recognize that there is a difference between Islam and Islamism. You have the Koran, and the Muslims who follow the teachings in the Koran, but there...

    Breaking - Ron Paul on Daily Show

    Very exciting. Although... while I trust the FMNN, I want to know what these "sources" are.

    Ron Paul on the Issues

    Okay, this is a serious discussion about Ron Paul's policies, rather than whether or not he can win. Here is his platform and positions: Ron Paul's Platform Ron Paul on the Issues What do you like/dislike, etc? Rule #1: Absolutely NO discussion about his chances of being elected, let us...

    Headquarters?

    On Political Crossfire Forums, which seem to be down for a while now, political groups are given their own private forums. For example, a Republican HQ, Green HQ, Independent HQ, etc. Is there any chance of us getting that here?

    Ron Paul: Republicans need Reagan's "courage" to withdraw from Iraq

    Maybe when it comes to how they both feel about Habeas Corpus. But George W. Bush is more like this generations FDR. Due to his stance on war, civil liberties, and growing the size of government, and disrespect for the constitution. Not only does he have a liberal record on spending and never...

    If elections were today

    His support is much stronger than people think, instead of "not a snowballs chance in hell" I would describe it as "an incredibly challenging task," but that chance is not 0%. Besides, as I said in another thread, winning isn't the only goal, it's just the highest and least expected one. I...

    Ron Paul: Republicans need Reagan's "courage" to withdraw from Iraq

    Look at my join date, I've been here since mid-2005. I just don't post as much. I wasn't trying to be a dick, I'm just saying it should be obvious that there are more goals involved when supporting a candidate than just "winning." I want people to know who Ron Paul is and what he believes in...

    If elections were today

    First of all, Ron Paul is not a third party candidate. Second, even if he was, that doesn't make sense. The concept of the spoiler effect never made sense, because it assumes to read minds. I am voting for Ron Paul, but if he wasn't running I wouldn't vote for any of the Republican candidates...

    Ron Paul: Republicans need Reagan's "courage" to withdraw from Iraq

    People who vote for candidates based solely on their ability to win, are morally bankrupt. You should vote for candidates who are closest to your values and ideas, you should vote for candidates who will do what you want done, that's the true definition of voting strategically. Besides, if Ron...

    If elections were today

    Republican: Ron Paul, my mind is quite made up. :mrgreen: Democrat: Maybe Richardson or Biden, they were the only mildly impressive ones in the Dem debate, I don't know enough about either though.

    MYTH: Women Talk Too Much

    It is a widely accepted belief that woman are the excessively verbal sex, and indeed, there have been many sayings and proverbs attributed to this understanding ~ Women's tongues are like lamb's tails - they are never still - English Foxes are all tail and women are all tongue The North Sea...

    America Freedom To Fascism

    I already saw it, very informative, and I liked the ending. This is something all Americans should see. My only problem with it is the entire first half of the movie spends time claiming that there is no law that requires us to pay income tax, when it's right there in the Sixteenth Amendment...

    I say abolish the Dept of Education

    I wouldn't be adamantly against states rights in this matter, and competition is exactly what education needs, but I don't see how vouchers would make anything better. Granted I don't fully grasp the idea behind them. What I want is freedom of choice, I shouldn't have to pay for the education...
