Since Richard is such a big fan of baseball history and tradition does he support ending testing for steroids?   50 years ago PED testing was not done then testing technology developed which baseball has adopted to combat PED use. 

I look at it this way.  If you were the baseball overlord had a blank sheet and wanted to create the best game possible would you use IR?  Hell yes is the answer.  The game would be better with IR run much like hockey and not the stupid system the NFL has.

How stupid is the NFL IR system?  The coach gets a red bean bag which he can use to challenge two or maybe three plays a game because there can't be any more then three bad calls go against a team in one game.  After a bad call the coach then watches for the replay on the big screen TV and waits to throw the bean bag while the opposing team rushes to run another play before the challenge bean bag can be thrown.

So if we all "Go Galt" do we still have to pay?  I am not kidding.  The productive class needs to go on strike and refuse to produce for the leaches.  The producers need to take there ball and go home.

Those of us supporting the Boehner bill and Republican unity have been trying to point out the same will be said if we hit the debt ceiling wall.  No Federal agencies will be eliminated.  No regulations will be repealed.  Boehner isn't the problem.  Obama is. · Jul 30 at 6:48am

WC,

An analogy: The mob has thrown us into the water with concrete shoes but we have a hammer which we can use to free ourselves from our newly sized footwear or we can choose to hold our breath.

The Boehner plan is holding our breath not freeing our self from the concrete which is drowning us.

My California Rep Tom McClintock was one of the 22 good Congressmen.  That's right CALIFORNIA!!

Charley Davis: As an out-of-work architect, I say get the government out of housing first.  Therefore, eliminate HUD, the FHA and sell off all of Fannie and Freddie's assets immediately.  · Jul 29 at 8:26pm

HUD, FHA, Fannie and Freddie have all been an objective failures but none of them are even talked about being eliminated.  The ideology of need for goods or services which created these programs has to be defeated before we can eliminate the programs.

Isn't the impact of the debt on our children and grandchildren a more compelling argument?  I am afraid that a downgrade will have unexpected consequences that will not contribute to success in the 2012 elections.  You saw what the progressive megaphone did to President Bush and the Republicans in 2006 and 2008.  Why do you think they won't turn that megaphone on the Tea Party and Republicans in 2012? · Jul 30 at 12:14am

@Al Kennedy

Our debt rating should be downgraded because we are 14.3 trillion in debt and can't possible pay the debt back.  The dye is cast, nothing short of passing a budget which eliminates the deficit and starts to pay off the debt can save the rating on the sovereign debt of the good old USA.  Not even Rand Paul has proposed such a plan.  

The debt will dramatically reduce our current standard of living along with our children and grandchildren.  30 years ago when argument was made deficits would hurt our children and grandchildren they were right.  We are going to pay for the sins of our fathers.

So what federal bureaucrat will be laid off by the Boehner bill?  What Federal agency will be eliminated by the Boehner bill?  What regulations will be repealed by the Boehner bill?  None, Zero, Zilch, Nada.

The Boehner bill does nothing reduce the size of government.  We have a one party system, the party of the leviathan government.  Democrats want to grow government and Republicans want to grow government at a slightly slower pace.

What are the odds I would live in California and be represented by one of the 22? 14.3 trillion to one?

I heart Rep McClintock

KC Mulville  They'll break. All we need to do is apply pressure. · Jul 28 at 7:03pm

Oh, KC, KC.  Don't you suppose Lee said something just about like that to Pickett? · Jul 28 at 10:46pm

Mr. Robinson,

General Longstreet knew the Army of the Northern Virginia should allow the Union to attack fortified lines much like we should have stood firm on CCB after it was passed.  It would not have been suicide to defend the high ground and we could have had the first of many victory's to secure liberty.

Instead we are supporting enslaving our self's to the Federal Government by raising the debt limit.

Erik Larsen: can someone please tell me if he is mentally ill (schizophrenia etc) or just evil? · Jul 24 at 9:54pm

Erik,

It appears he was evil.  He posted a video about the Knights Templar.

Jimmy Carter: "Safety net" was once Family, but the left has all but destroyed it with government taking Its place. · Jul 24 at 6:53pm

The safety net was family, church, voluntary associations.  The federal government has replaced family, church and voluntary local associations.  This was done on purpose to destroy local communities and replace it with the federal government so we are wards of the state.

If the text book definition of the US government having three branches was still reality I would agree we should take the senate and focus on 2016 but the most powerful branch of US government is the 4th, the bureaucracy.

The FDA, EPA, HHS, DoE, ect will continue to destroy this country via regulation if Obama is not defeated in 2012.

Asians should not be on this list but American Indians and the handicapped need to be added.

As a former Catholic I ask what life would Jesus live?  Michele Bachman or Ted Kennedy?  Being a foster parent to 20+ children or drunk driver who crashed into a river then letting your passenger suffocate to death without telling anyone.

I am sure big head Ted said his prerequisite all-fathers and hail Marries to get into heaven.

I found a golden tablet in my backyard which only I could see and translate from God saying Romney will not be the Republican nominee.  Oh ya, three of my friends say my story is true.

Otto Maddox: Well, the ZH viewpoints and information are a lot more realistic than the government mouthpiece called CNBC.

ZH is rational once you have visited Max Keiser, Lew Rockwell and Alex Jones webpages or watched Zeitgeist the movies..  They are truly crazy.
