• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. 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. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

    Your personal views on the nature of God, and how you experience God

    I see "God" as the Creator. The "Creator" being whatever force it was the caused the universe to exist. I see God's "will" as those forces which rule our universe; the natural laws of physics, biology, and the other sciences. I don't see God as an actor or master of our lives, but as that which...

    And so it starts...NC Bill to allow State establishment of religion

    This happened back in April. The bill was pulled before any vote took place. As a resident of NC, since I've not heard a word about it since I'd say that it probably was just an act of protest, to rile up some party activists.

    consistency among political groups

    Apparently a study done in 2008 found that there was a correlation between an individual's political views and their reflexive response to threatening stimuli. There was no great proof unearthed, but the question raised is that it seems plausible that our politics may be connected our brain's...

    Federal Nullification Efforts Mounting in States......

    Yes, Boldin did basically make my same point. My interpretation of the Catch 22 you point out is two-fold. The first is that there is an overwhelming opinion that government cannot be "fixed" from the inside. It is believed that politics is run by millionaires and their proteges. If a humble...

    What about the polygamists!?! [W:693]

    In short, no. The legal institution of marriage is a contract of two individuals, in that contract various responsibilities and benefits are shared between the two individuals. To allow more than two individuals to enter the same contract would be damningly complex. On the other hand, I do...

    Federal Nullification Efforts Mounting in States......

    First I would say that nullification itself is not going to get much accomplished. The Supremacy Clause is not solely an establishment of Constitutional authority, but refers to "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States" making all laws passed by the federal government supreme to...

    Who are we?

    Rights are nothing more than an agreement between a people and their government over appropriate action, and so all nations with a government is an establishment of law. Even those "inalienable" rights granted to us by our Creator are subject to an agreement of degree between the people and...

    Would You Vote For Unaffiliated Candidates?

    Given the public's low opinion of Congress, and the disdain that members of each party seems so willing to show each other, I am curious as to who would be open to an alternative form of representation. Perhaps a candidate who has no party line to dilute his/her passion or philosophy. Perhaps a...

    Constitutional Party

    I agree with most of the OP, but had the same initial question about 'whose interpretation?' that was brought up. Interpretations of the Constitution vary widely. so calling on a new party to be guided by only the Constitution is really just a way of ditching all the malice and vitriol for what...

    Elementary School Beginning Toy Gun Turn-In Program

    I dont think this is neceasarily the case as a whole. I think the Democratic Party is strengthening their hold on their base, and as a consequence that segment of society is becoming more passive. I think non-Democrats will be less eaaily deceived.

    Crazy idea. Do you agree with it?

    Government is only a skeleton institution. if you fear your government then you really fear the collective American people as the operation of government comes from the people. If people weren't so easily scared into the system they perpetuate we may have more ability to use the government as...

    Should the Patriot Act be allowed to expire?

    I think that with the trend of trying to tone down the War on Terror they will be more likely to let it expire. However I imagine that those provisions that have proved useful and effective in the past will be renewed through the amendment process and probably will go largely unnoticed by the...

    Health care law's unpopularity reaches new highs

    This may very well be the outcome of this law, but at the same time I have to hope that it works out. As much as you think you have choice over your own healthcare, you do not have nearly as much. When you are prescribed a medication it is often decided based on which drug was most successfully...

    Newb here. Hope this doesn't suck.

    Hi everyone. I've been around for a few days and overall have enjoyed the experience. I've been trying to find a place where there is reasonable discussion and rational debate with little success, and most of my friends and family aren't as interested in talking politics as I am. I'm an...

    Health care law's unpopularity reaches new highs

    Until the legislature is abolished and laws are passed by popular referendum we will not have a democratic government. Our republican form of government rests on the principle of representative government. Representative government is not necessarily meant to follow the will of the electorate...
