Yeah.

again, this isn't a game.

victories on social issues for specific groups verses protecting constitutional rights for us all is an easy choice for me.( constitution)


If my choice is between killing bin Laden or preventing US drones from blowing some poor pakistani kids legs off, that's easy. Let Osama hide in his cave.

The social security thing alone is a flat-out betrayal.


Pundits are already saying that the sequester isn't a big deal.

Probably because they will not be affected by it.

Is it smarter to wait until after you get screwed by a politicians policies to complain?

The congress is terrible; yes.

but the problem is deeper than that.

but ultimately, people have to check out things for themselves.

And what better way to start, than to listen to dissenting opinions?
