Tony78 Arkie, Regulations is part of what caused this mess, deregulation would be a better choice. Most of these banks have more than enough money to operate, but congress wants them to use a specific accounting (mark to market) method that shows great losses on...

Bring the troops home (that is costing the nation billions per day); close military bases and prisons on foreign lands (an outright act of aggression and imperialism); fire the terrorists in Washington DC and put liens on their...

Tony78 I would cut alot of wasteful spending, abolish the IRS and pass the fairtax plan. Impose strict fines on any company employing illegal immigrants. Executives of companies who received bailout money could not make millions each year or get big bonuses. Rescind...

Many liberals want to make it illegal for ministers, justices of the peace to refuse to marry gay couples. They claim it is a violation of civil liberties. These are of course the same ones who holler that prayer in school and the...

Tony78 This is not about gay marriage it is about forcing others to perform their ceremonies. I know the Justice of the Peace is not a religious figure, but if he or she is a christian opposed to gay marriage those rights should respected.

Tony78 I don't think that the fairtax is perfect, but it is by far the best tax plan I have heard about.
