Answer to:
You want government to tell you what's going on militarily/and politically but don't want 'em to tell you how to stay healthy. Why? The Constitution specifically puts the government in charge of providing for the defense of the country. Since we are the ones footing the bill for this and the other legitimate functions of the government, the government is responsible for reporting to us what they are doing with respect to those things. This is understood to have limits where there are legitimate national security concerns...

Answer to:
Why did God ask Abraham tro kill Isaac, his long-awaited and cherished son? Can murder please God? It was a test. If you read the entire story, then you see that God sent an anger to stop Abraham before the deed was actually done. No, God never intended for Abraham to kill his son. He wanted to know who Abraham valued more. I would also point out that this was a similitude of what God would eventually do for us in that He sacrificed His only begotten Son to pay for our sins.

Answer to:
Missouri Republicans want taxpayers to fund a security camera for a bust of Rush Limbaugh. Is this a good use of tax payer funds? Two points. First of all, from reading the story, it sounds to me like this is a one time expenditure. Admittedly there may be other things that others might have preferred the money be spent on, but in the scope of a state's budget, $1,100 isn't that much. Second, if left-wingers didn't have a tendency to use vandalism as a means of protest, then there would be no need for the camera.

Union members are likely Dems/Independents because the GOP wants to destroy unions. Any exception to that? Who would support the enemy?

For example, my brother is more conservative that I am. However, he is making his living as a forklift operator in California. So, despite his feelings about unions, he MUST be a member of the Teamsters' Union in order...

Note, this has nothing to do with race or xenophobia. It's all about not having enough jobs for our...

How could anyone who calls themselves Christian vote for Romney? 1. Romney never presided over the temple. For you to assert that shows ignorance of his actual service and the organization of the LDS Church. From 1981 to 1986, he was a bishop. In our Church a bishop is the man who presides over a single congregation. From 1986-1994 he was a stake president. A stake president is a man who presides over several congregations....

I think that it will be Obama's will play a big roll in it as well. I think that they will hold it because the American people don't want what Obama and the Democrats have been peddling as much as they want what the Republicans are promising.

In the south Romney will experience the agony of defeat whereas Santorum will win the gold. Head-to- head, neck-and-neck? For how long? What neck and neck? What are you looking at that tells you that? Romney now has 662 delegates and Santorum has 266. Even if you combine all of the delegates that all of Romney's opponents have, then they don't get to 500. So, it is hardly neck and neck. Add to this the fact that the Southern primaries are pretty much over. So, there is not much left for the Romney's opposition to do....

So, by moving to Camp David, he is probably hoping to avoid the problems. We'll see how well it works.

Did Rush Limbaugh only apologize to that girl so that his advertisers wouldn't leave his show? 1. Rush has to reject advertisers. So, the loss of the few that bailed out on him will probably not affect his bottom line significantly. 2. At least he apologized. When was the last time a liberal apologized for their over the top comments about Republicans? (See Spice*'s answer for just one minor example.)

So, he would have had to do them himself.

Without them, there is no control on the baser instincts of people. Without them, there would be no limits on those that would exploit others. Some governments are better than others. None are perfect, but they are necessary. Just because some are failing, is no reason to throw them all out.

So they are entitled to take from them rather than working to support themselves.

Why do conservatives hate art? Don't they watch movies, read comics, or need logos? Upon what basis do you make this assertion? My dad was a very conservative man, yet he was a painter, he enjoyed opera, and a number other things that would fall under the category of "art". My mother, also quite conservative, was an art major in college. So, you assertion is fallacious on the surface.

The debate is NOT about where we need regulations. The debate is about how much regulation.

I don't see much point in digging a hole in which to put ashes. Just pick a day with a nice stiff breeze and stand at the up wind edge and let the breeze do the...

Is there another earth out there? 72 degrees temp and water. Would you rather live there? You'll die on the trip though...still wanna go? If you are referring to the one that they think that they have just found, then, no, I would not want to live there. It has 2.5 times the mass of Earth. So, it would have a much higher surface gravity than we have here. Thus, I would be MUCH heavier than I am now and would have a lot more difficulty moving around.

Answer to:
Heat rises and hot air balloons go UP. So why does the temperature go steadily DOWN as you rise to the upper atmosphere? There are a couple of different things that are going on here. First of all, you need to understand that the lowermost layer of the atmosphere (the troposphere) is heated from the bottom up. It is heated by infrared radiation coming up from Earth's surface. So, as you go up you get further from earth's surface and, therefore, the air's heat source. Thus, the air gets cooler as altitude...

A limousine liberal is someone who talks about how the wealthy are got that way through fraud and exploitation of the poor, etc., while driving around in a limousine. This is very similar to a Lear Jet liberal who is constantly talking about how we need to cut back on our use of fossil fuels while flying everywhere on private jets rather than taking commercial.

If slavery is treating people like property, then what is it called when property (i.e. a corporation) is given the same rights as people?

The important factor here is that they are "groups of people". As such they are deserving or rights just as any other person is deserving of rights.

Catholics aren't Christians, but are Black Muslims Muslims? You know, I get tired of the same old religious intolerance that we often get from certain branches of Christianity. So, many of you seem to think that those who don't agree with every little bit of doctrine that you do are not Christians. I find that to be rather arrogant. A Christian is anyone who is honestly trying to follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. We don't all have to agree...

Oh, it was an "agreement" not a "settlement". Does Herman Cain take us for fools? 1. Whether he is guilt or not, I can very easily believe that he doesn't remember this woman. If he is a serial abuser of women in the way these women accuse him of being, do you really think that he would remember EVERY woman he has treated this way? I would submit that that would be unlikely. If he is completely innocent of the actions of which this woman accuses him, then what reason...

If all votes in the House/Senate were secret/anonymous how would that change things? No party affiliation,no names. Same results or not? No, that would be a big mistake. Secret ballots would make holding elected officials almost unaccountable.

Who would you rather have in the White House today to fix this economic trouble? FDR or Ronald Reagan? Let's see, you give me a choice between someone whose policies just made an economic down turn worse and caused it to last for a decade and someone who took a bad economy and turned it around. I'll take the latter, Ronald Reagan. It's just too bad that we can't have him again, this time with a Congress that would actually work with him to get government spending under control.

Do you prefer religious politics or political religion? Don't we have both in the US? Which is your favorite? My belief is that religions have just as much right to stand up for what they believe to be right as any other organizations.

This would include unions, environmental groups, human rights advocacy groups, civil rights groups, animal rights...

Separation of church and state will occur only if Atheists are the candidates. Know any Atheists willing to run for political office?

Since much of what religious people consider moral and right is guided by their religious beliefs, these are going to influence their votes....

"Do nothing" strategy hurts the country but so what? Right? So what? Continue to do nothing to prove your point...which is what exactly? I don't know. Try asking your people in the Senate, Rosie.

It is going to hinge on the state of the economy and who the American people think will do a better job of managing it.

Now that Republicans control the House, they have passed many bills intended to get this country on a sound fiscal and economic footing and what have the Democrats in the Senate done with them? Absolutely NOTHING. They have blocked most of them from even getting...

The Perry's found the name to be offensive and pretty quickly painted over the rock with the offensive word on it. When that proved to be inadequate, they had the rock turned over. In other words, the previous owners...

Do you think the ability to execute Americans without a trial, or public out cry is too much power for the President of the United States? If the person in question is taking refuge in a part of the world where there is no hope of extraditing him back the the US to face trial and is actively engaged in waging war against the US, then I do think that the President has more than the authority to take such a person out. He has the duty to do so.

Ron Paul says Obama ordered the assassination of an American terrorist. Is that an "assassination" to you or a "good riddance"? Why does it have to be one or the other? We assassinated Yamamoto during WWII because he was doing too good of a job leading the Imperial Japanese Navy and getting rid of him was seen as a way of shortening the war. In times of war, I see nothing wrong with assassinating the enemies leaders. al-Qeada would do the same to ours if they could.

NC(D)Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending congressional elections. What do you think of this? I think that it is a very BAD idea. Elections are the one way by which we can hold our elected officials accountable to we the people. Taking away the right to vote is the road to dictatorial rule. That Governor Perdue would even suggest such a thing should be reason enough to throw her out of office if she should decide to run for reelection next year. So, what is your opinion on this Wynper?

Answer to:
NC(D)Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending congressional elections. What do you think of this? So, has this governor ever heard of a little thing called the Constitution? It is the Constitution thatrequires that we hold elections every two years. We can't just suspend them because we feel like it. That would take a constitutional amendment. By the time those that want this could get such an amendment passed, they would be out of power.

What Palin actually said (that there are places in Alaska from which one can see Russia) is true. http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/seealaska.asp

Answer to:
If there were oil under St Peter's Cathedral in New York, would Sarah Palin recommend drilling for it? I can't speak for Palin, but for myself, I say why not drill for it? Now before you go getting into an uproar about destroying a church to get at the oil, you need to understand something about drilling for oil. You don't have to drill strait down to get at the oil. You can come at it from an angle. This can allow the drilling derrick to be quite some distance from the actual oil reservoir.

The answer to this question would be that, unlike liberals, conservatives realize that we...

Do you think President Obama or former President George Bush (the second) is more responsible for the current recession we are in? It is the policies of the Democrats that are responsible for the economic mess that we are in. It was Democrats that passed laws that forced banks to make the loans that led to the creation of the housing bubble. It was Democrat policies that forced Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to buy up those loans forcing them to come up with "derivatives" which they then sold to unsuspecting buyers who didn't...

Calling someone a lunatic absolves them, to some degree, of responsibility for their actions because a lunatic may not realize that what he is doing is wrong. I tend not...

Friendly Stranger for president, with RosieGHM Jetpacker for vice president. Who's with me? I don't know Friendly Stranger, but I could not support Rosie for a political position. While she is one of the friendlier liberals around, one of the few with whom I can have a civil discussion, she is still a liberal and most of her political views are diametrically opposed to my own. Therefore, I can't support her.

Answer to:
If you saw a person masturbating with underware over their face, what would you do? I would assume that this was in a public location as I don't go to private places where such things might take place. So, that being the case, I would call the cops and have the pervert arrested for indecent exposure among other things.

Answer to:
Would you vote for a President who promised to send Navy SEALs to determine whether or not the Ark of The Covenant is really in Ethiopia? No, I would not vote for a President who would show so little regard for the beliefs of other people. What you suggest would be a desecration of another religion's holy site for no good reason.

Who believes barrack Obama Should Resign from the Presidency of the United States? What good would that do? If Obama resigned, we would just be stuck with Biden. He would be just as bad, if not worse.

Answer to:
What would be most likely...a Diehard Conservative becoming a Liberal or a Diehard Liberal becoming a Conservative? Both impossible? Perhaps you should look into the life of David Horowitz. His parents were die-hard communists and raised him as such. In his early life he worked for a number of far-left organizations, including the Black Panthers. However, when the Panthers murder one of his friends, he started to reexamine his ideas and became one of the strongest defenders of conservatism in our time. This is a man who...

Answer to:
why does everyone hate Obama now? People are hypocrites They dislike him because the press can't cover up his record anymore. When he was running for President, he was still a mostly blank slate. As an Illinois legislator he avoided voting on most controversial legislation. As a US Senator, he spent most of his time running for President rather than being a Senator. Now, that he is President, he has revealed just how out of the mainstream he is...

Answer to:
What profession do you have no tolerance for them making mistakes? I am going to second AlanVega's answer. We are all human. We all make mistakes. Yes, there are some professions where we expect a higher level of performance than in others. However, we should always keep in mind that NONE of us is perfect. I don't have much tolerance for those that are just plain negligent (The surgeon or pilot that goes to work drunk, for example.) However, I think that...

Answer to:
What do you think of a woman who provokes a man into attacking her so that she can sue him for assault? I think that the women should be prosecuted just as much as the man would be if the situations are reversed. Study after study has shown that women can be just as abusive as men. However, society and our legal system has mostly turned a blind eye to abusive females. Just look at shunyata's answer. He/she assumes that the woman had nothing to do with precipitating the violence. It's only an...

Answer to:
Should anyone who doesn't attend a Presidential Inauguration be arrested for not loving The Leader enough? 1. From where did this question come? 2. There are over 311 million people living in the US. How the heck are we all supposed to be able to attend the inauguration of the President? DC does not have the facilities to accommodate that many people. The surrounding communities don't have the facilities to accommodate that many people. Additionally, most of us have jobs that will not allow us...

Answer to:
Why is economic growth under Democrats more manly than under Republicans? OK, let us see. This comes from a website called farleftside.com. Yeah, that sounds like an real unbiased source. I also note that that page cites absolutely no sources to back up this claim. As for the graph itself, it is trying to say that the economy was better under Carter than it was under Reagan? Were you even alive back then? I was. I remember the lines at the gas pumps when...

Answer to:
Remember when you thought Bush was going to declare Marshal Law and there wouldn't even be an election in 2008? You wish he had? No, I don't wish the Bush had declared marshal law. I which party the person is from, such an action would be antithetical to our system of government.

Why do some Republicans like Ayn Rand's philosophy? Ayn Rand was a pro-free market capitalist. That is what many Republicans like about her philosophy. They may not agree with her and certain social issues, but they agree with he on that.

Answer to:
Can someone explain why Anthony Weiner (consensual sexting) has to resign, but David Vitter dressing up in diapers with hookers is A-OK? Did Vitter's illicit behavior represent an ongoing pattern. According to the Wikipedia article to which you linked, the answer is a pretty definite no. He had ceased to engage in that behavior by the time the scandal broke. In the case of Wiener, this is current activity. I also don't see anything in the Wikipedia article about Vitter encouraging his supports to go out and accuse his...
