In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    Should We End The Insanity Plea?

    I worked in the field of Corrections for the better part of 30 years. I have degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology. I almost completed my masters in the psychology of addiction. That said, I believe everyone is responsible for their own actions. However, their are cases were mental and...

    Eric Cantor And Disaster Relief

    It's time we had a different debate. We as a nation need to determine our priorities first and then determine where the funds will come from to meet those priorities. Yes, I think we need to cut government spending but that is only one side of the coin. There is no reason that we cannot obtain...

    What should be cut?

    Several Questions. 1. Do you deny that there are significant number of poor and workers who are under-employed in the United States? The number of people in poverty in 2009 (43.6 million) is the largest number in the 51 years for which poverty estimates have been published. --16 million...

    What to do with those who can afford health insurance, but choose not to carry it?

    Re: What to do with those who can afford health insurance, but choose not to carry it Out of curiosity, I would like to know what your parameters are for defining that someone can afford heath care coverage. This was back in the 1980's, but I had a fairly good job. However, family health care...

    Hey Religious People: Here's some ammo to use in your debates.

    And this is relevant Why? By, the way, I'm more progressive than Obama, I almost have my Masters, and I'm a Born-Again Christian?

    A Disturbing Picture of Rick Perry, and the Religious Right

    I agree. I'm a born-again Christian and I've seen prayer answer unanswerable prayers in my own life. Where I would probably disagree is that being president does not equate with with exercising pastoral obligations. The president is required to lead all citizens, be they Christians, Muslims...

    Are Seniors Lazy Parasites

    Given the lack of legitimate and responsible options, I decline to give legitimacy to your poll.

    You know what I find funny...

    I take issue with your assumption, that conservatives are more religious. Though I do think it the pervasive feeling in the US. I was in my sixties when I accepted Jesus Christ. Many of my Christian/conservative friends thought I would automatically change my political views. For the most part...

    Capital Punishment

    I oppose the death penalty based on the following reasons. 1. With the potential for wrongful convictions you can never assure that you are not convicting an innocent man. The recent results of DNA are just one example. Additionally, the established weakness of eye witness testimony has been...

    Capital Punishment

    Why didn't you have an option for those who oppose the death penalty. That, to me, skews your result.

    Why the Left hates Sarah Palin?

    I do believe that our media and other individuals and politicians have gone beyond the lines of civility. And each of us should be mindful of that when we speak of others regardless of race, political persuasion, etc. However, Sarah Palin has been on the front stage representing her party and...

    Why the Left hates Sarah Palin?

    There are times when leadership means being more concerned about the overall problem and those involved than yourself. This was one of those times.

    What's wrong with some Americans?

    The birthers are looking for a way to rationalize an intellectually fradulent argument required to maintain their previously held believes that a Black man should never be President. I can understand that easier than I can understand why people in positions of authority, who know this issue is...

    Why the Left hates Sarah Palin?

    I have respect for Palin's loyalty and love for her family. She has not shown or demostrated any intellectual prowes when discussing policy. I, like you, respect street smarts. However, I'm still waiting to see her exercise such skills. Street smarts would have meant that she would have grasped...
