My foreign policy is for the USA to live up to the cries of imperialism thrown at it. Let's show the world what that would really look like. 

The Theme to North and South miniseries.

Though that is TV.

I had not seen it listed yet.

You are so anti-gay! It is just like civil-rights! You should not even be allowed to speak on the subject!

I could be OK with whatever people wanted to do, as long as they did not use violence to enforce their views on others.

This is no different that threatening the torch the man's place of business. It is pure thuggary.

 Hamiltion never wanted what we have now, in his wildest dreams!

Now, let me say the Turkey is a member of NATO. We should be saying something about all this.

Then again, whey they would not help us with Iraq, I thought we should have kicked them out then.

Tell Clarie to stay safe!

I am all for weak parties. Otherwise, you get 51% telling the other 49% what to do. Our system forces the parties to the middle to get power. I am not sure how much they would have changed that.

The American Federal system was not designed with political parties in mind. Congress and the President are supposed to balance against each other.

Parties are always going to happen, because people work that way. Our current system decreases the power of parties. What that means is a tendency for less extreme government. As bad as it has been for us on the right, imagine a world where the left wins a majority and imposes its will with no checks at all.

In England they elect a dictator for 5 years, as long as said dictator can pay off his party. Ug.

Except for sex (always safe), the Left hates anyone having a good time. Or having kids.

Here is who I follow. I'd like to meet them all, if I Have not already, plus several more. I don't always post, but I love learning.

My ego is merely huge!

An excellent wife who can find?
    She is far more precious than jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
    and he will have no lack of gain.
 She does him good, and not harm,
    all the days of her life.

I cannot post the whole passage due to the accursed 200 word limit.

Congratulations on 43 years.

The Federal Government has no power to pass labor laws in the first place, in any reasonable reading of the Constitution. The founders would have been appalled at the very idea.

Now, I know that the barn door is open, and the train has already left the station and burned the bridges behind it. Still, since we don't have a federal law for RTW or for Closed Shops then I don't want to add one. I am worried if we say the feds can put in national RTW, then they can also make us all closed shops.

This is something that should be decided by the states. That is where the power lies for this.

I happen to think there should be no government between employee and employer, except as is necessary to enforce contracts. The content of those contracts is the business of no one else.

Leftism, i.e. collectivism, was not here at the founding. Liberalism used to me being pro-freedom. Not any longer.

As a resident of a Right to Work state, I am against the Feds enforcing it on everyone. ET, if you don't like it in your state, move to one (like Texas) that is not that way.

Second, complaining about voters who "don't have skin in the game" is the argument of the elite. Very clearly, everyone has skin in the game, they may not realize it. Unions drive up prices and drive out jobs. Pretty sure that effect everyone.

The Federal Government has no business getting in between the employer and the employee at any level. If you ask me. NO government at any level should be there, but clearly not the the Feds.

Exactly right, John. This is one area where I side is fighting the war not rolling over.

Conor, we cannot pretend there are rules to the fight when the other side ignores them. If they are going to knife fight, we cannot go in there unarmed. This is not fistacuffs, this is a fight for the soul of America.

Liberalism and Americanism cannot coexist. One side or the other will win.

I would like it to be our side.
