Anything less than full repeal is a betrayal of Republicans and the Nation. I understand that the pols all lie all the time, but this is one of those "read my lips" moments.

The GOP with 50 votes in the senate can changes the rules to make getting rid of this monster something that gets an up or down vote. Just do it. Nancy Pelosi did not let one GOP bill come to the floor in her reign. Not. One.

Play hardball guys. The Dems are out to destroy America as we know it. Fight like you mean it.

Bryan G. Stephens: Wait, this guy has testimony that someone told him they wanted to steal the election? Is this not being investigated? · 33 minutes ago

It was several years ago. A prominent Florida Republican was implicated. A Grand Jury was convened. I don't think anyone was convicted or served any jail time. · 12 minutes ago

Of course not

Bryan G. Stephens: 

I just don't buy those items. 

That's because they haven't properly been sold to you or all you've heard is strawmen.

You listed four of them, each deserves its own thread, frankly, but I'll deal quickly with one of them.

Houston is the 4th largest city in the US, it has 2.1 million people in an area of 656.3 square miles.  

It hasno zoning laws.  It is handled privately through private contracts.

There are practical ways to do things without including government coercion in the mix.   · 13 hours ago

Considering the damage caused by drugs that I see, there is no way to sell me on making them legal. Drugs are not a victimless crime.

However, I am more than happy to have a four thread discussion on each. I'll post a starter seed for each in a row tonight after my all day training.

Bryan G. Stephens

I am with you here Fred. Rules stated up front and people want to take the risk then they get what they get.

Nanda Panjandrum: Fred, a question: If someone's house is burning (and it might spread to others) would you have the volunteer firefighters put it out if the homeowner hadn't contributed?  (Btw, we have voluntary fire/rescue here, and a nearly-extinct tax base, so we all contribute what we can.)  · 43 minutes ago

I would say it would depend on the policy of the fire department.  

Frankly, I'd imagine most people would pay, since the price would be pretty low, and that most home owner's insurance would require it as a condition for writing the policy, and most banks would require it as a condition of the loan.

However, letting someone's house burn who was offered the service and chose instead to try to be a free rider would be a quick way to get everyone paid up. · 13 hours ago

I loved the addition of Rob's bit for Ricochet at the opening, btw

Bryan G. Stephens

They are great. At least I think they are. I have not listened yet. Maybe I sound totally off.

DrewInWisconsin: I'm totally getting in on one of these. But I'm afraid I will be revealed to be a fraud. · 6 minutes ago

I don't know how Grass Roots this is but it is very near and dear to my heart:

Most Libertarians that I have talked too are for all sorts of things I am against, and against things I am for:

Legalization of Drugs (Meth should be legal and taxed!)

Morality of a Draft (don't force me to defend another person's home)

Lack of zoning (strip clubs next to your home!)

If it does not hurt anyone, it is OK.

I just don't buy those items. I don't think that make me anti-freedom. I fall someplace else on the scale. I draw the right to be left alone in a different spot. We can agree to disagree.

With Obama and the Radical Left, none of those differences matter. They don't want people to have any right to be left alone in any sphere. Either you embrace their way of thinking, or you are not fit to be a citizen. You cannot say that is what Romney wants.

Again, Romney may not be perfect, but voting for someone else is half a vote for Obama who is much worse.

What point is made by that? "I'd rather see Obama elected than vote for Romney", because that is the effect.

Bryan G. Stephens

Walking is also a good time for me, outside is best, though I can pace back and forth to think when everyone is asleep too.

Bryan G. Stephens

Pure Libertarianism assumes humans are rational actors. If that were the case, would be even *need* a government.

Until the American people are ready to face the facts, (and most are not), Romney is the best we get. He is not perfect, but I'll take what I can get. I have no choice. I will continue to do what I can to move the GOP to be more conservative.

Not voting for Romney is half a vote for Obama, and I will not vote for him in any capacity.

Bryan G. Stephens

This outcome is exactly what they want.

I should have said this last night, but it did not hit me until today in the shower:

Things will continue until they can't. What I mean by that is, at some point, being broke will cause us to change. Period. I want to lessen the damage of that moment, and I think Romney is better to have less damage.

I understand my wish for a GOP with a spine is a pipe dream.

Bryan G. Stephens

What a great time! I am sorry I waited until # 8 to participate. I am looking forward to hearing it.

Bryan G. Stephens

I was raised Presbyterian and moved all the way to United Methodist. My wife and I returned to Church when we had children. We don't make it every Sunday like we should, but we want our children to have ever advantage we did (She was raised Catholic).

There are so many Churches in America: Go to the one that best helps your walk with the Father and Son. Pray for support. God is always there waiting to connect with us.
