Hmmm, I dont get it Im a Republican, but im an agnostic.

I also am not wealthy (yet) but hope to be some day. It seems to me that wealth is directly proportional to how hard you work, how much effort you put forth, isnt that the American way? So why should you be taxed more or at a greater level than someone who does not work as hard and as a result has achieved less?

Im not slamming anyone who has not become wealthy, im just saying that anyone can if they want to. Some people may have other life goals and that is fine, but it does not mean that they should pay less because they earn less, after all that was their choice.

I guess I may be more of an independent, but I like the GOP because I can relate to their message about personal responsibility and free market economics. I dont get all the name calling and carrying on about this country. I can tell you after I having been overseas America rules the world and thank god (if there is one) that it does!

To a significant degree, that's true. However, there's always an element of luck involved, unless one has the ability to choose parents who will provide a good example and opportunity to become well educated. Even then, luck enters into it. Rapidly changing technology provides opportunities to become wealthy if one is sufficiently lucky to guess in which direction technology will go. A good guess can make one very wealthy whereas a bad guess can cause one to lose his shirt.

There are people who have become wealthy by doing constructive things which have also benefitted others. There are also people who have become wealthy by manipulating esoteric financial instruments to the detriment of others. Some of the people responsible for our near financial collapse made millions in the process.

Few wealthy people have become wealthy only through their own efforts.

The latest scandal involving a darling of Republicans and, by extension, God, reminds me of the Republican Holy Bible that I became aware of in recent elections.

God has inspired a new version of the Holy Bible. It has only two instructions. You must be dogged in your obligations to (1) outlaw abortion and (2) prevent gay people from having any rights.

It is okay to engage in those activities yourself. All that God requires you to do is oppose rights for anybody else.



This is why I became an atheist and a Libertarian

Its ok to be gay god haters, maybe i cant blame you since iam not gay. yes the old testament is violently against homosexuality, no where in the new tetament. So gay people think god is against them because they want to do whatever they want and because gods rules are against, all you can do is blaspheme. God loves all people of all kinds, so do i. I stand in judgement of no one, thats Gods job. Liberals, always research and find statistics that make them feel good about there positions. When you are liberal, you brain is a breeding ground for failure, because every socialist country has badly failed by taxing their citizens to death. Remember, what makes this country unique, Is our rights are not giving to us my man or our country but from god. Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is what paved the road to success of our country. Thats why liberals try to take god out of everything, schools, even churches, public area, holidays, public prayer, god in our pledge of allegiance. Why? You might ask yourself why???? Because they know a country rooted in God, with rights endowed by God have to be overcome with taxes, propaganda, lies stack on top of lies, politial correctness, environmental wacko-ism,. Liberals just have to have God out the public arena, so they can pontificate, just like Josef Goebbells hitlers proganda chief said, "tell the big lie big enough and long enough and people will believe anything" Yep you dont want opposing views because it would shine a spot light on your sheer idiocy. Stupid is as stupid does, talk about ill educated, mis informed and it plainly shows the ignorance you have bought from those you trusted most, who sadly let you down. There has never been a country that has taxed itself in to prosperity. Lets see the economy booms every time we cut taxes, revenues to both the state and federal government filled to the brim. lets let out a cheer for John F Kennedy a fiscal conservative, cut taxes, as does Ronald Reagan. Both times the econaomy boomed. Where liberalism always fails is they believe in redistribution of the producers and giving to the non producers. So sorry liberals you can try to take God out of things but, it will never happen. Now grab a tissue and get ahold of reality and stop spewing your hatred, lies and propaganda. The Tea Party is Proof you are not only gunna be countered but we will meet you on any corner to make sure people know the truth and the way this country needs to go. Just remember without life liberty and the pursuit of happiness we no longer have freedom. I would rather die than be in the world you would like us to be, thank God the country has woke up and wised up to you and your liberals antics. Go make a bible that fits your needs and go live by it, it would be the first time you did anything without someone like Keith Olberman giving you marching orders. We know who you are, hahahaha
I hate to break it to you, but President Reagan raised taxes.

America booms every time we cut taxes? Are you kidding me?
Perhaps you missed the fact that there was a surplus before J.W. Bush took office and the biggest recession in 75 years when he left 8 years later after his "brilliant" tax cuts that gave more money to people who already had enough.

and FACTS are FACTS. You can try to blame it on whatever you want besides failed neo-Conservative policy, but that is an historical FACT, despite whatever spin people want to put on it.

Seems like the US Supreme Court has a copy - since they have allowed anti-gay church to continue to spew their ignorance! Heaven help us.
As hateful as Reverend Phelps is, this Gay Leftist Liberal Democrat thinks the Supremes made the correct decision.

Ya, I think the court made the correct decision. The protesters, on the other hand, need to go get mental health treatment.

I don't fear God, just vehement religious nuts

Same here. I look forward to protesting a Phelps family funeral. Here's hoping Fred cacks soon

I wonder if any of the Phelps clan has been assaulted during one of their events.
I participated in the 1993 March On Washington. Many of us marchers were in fear that hate groups would assault or kill us while law enforcement sat by idly.
Turned out that the only situation that occurred was that the police formed a barrier to protect the Phelps clan from us!

I believe he's been maced several times.

I have mixed reactions to the ruling. On the one hand, yes, he does have freedom of speech, so he can spout off whatever he wants; on the other hand, freedoms come with responsibilities - when he crosses the line between expressing his opinions and targeting people for harassment so that he can get free publicity, I feel that he should be prosecuted under existing anti-harassment laws. On the third hand (can I borrow someone for this?), he does follow the rules about maintaining proper distances, notifying authorities, etc., so technically, it's the people protesting his protests that are giving him the free publicity; if everyone - including the local media - ignored his protests, he wouldn't get the attention he craves. He'd either have to step up his actions - and risk breaking the law and getting arrested - or he'd be marginalized, which is as it should be.

Personally, I'd be happy to join any peaceful, non-violent protests at Mr. (not Reverend by any stretch of the imagination) Phelps' funeral. Although, strictly speaking, I wouldn't be protesting the funeral...
