Then you need to get out more.

Tobie, are you a man of variety or do you slurp/gulp the same flavor every time?

By "verdict" do you mean the FBI refusal to prosecute? If so, that is not a verdict. From my small understanding of the law, you need a judge and jury in order to render a verdict.

And you believe true justice is when the cop is convicted and punished even if his guilt cant be proven?

Absurd is insufficient .

Yes, but you will be told it is simply a "cultural thing" and we must respect that as strive to become more "tolerant".

Why hide when you have the full blessing of the "powers that be"?

I am less inclined to complain about protests when destruction and looting aren't taking place.

Just look at Venezuela and Greece and tell me how free stuff ( regardless of the recipient) works out in the long run. As for "certain segments" my "segment" currently pays over 50% of its income ( when you consider all taxes) to governments. I feel that is pretty darn "fair and equitable" and I resent being lectured constantly how I am not paying my fair share and how I lack compassion particularly when some "segments" pay zero income taxes. My basic issue with too much free stuff is NOT a black- white issue- It is a maker-taker issue. The makers are contributing plenty of money to society but were told a couple of years ago they needed to start paying for the healthcare of the takers. And now, they are being told they need to start paying for the college education of the takers. What many seem to fail to grasp is that if you take away too much of the incentive for the makers to make, their wont be a tax base from which to raise taxes for the next "social cause". Some day, ( and I hope it doesn't happen too late) we will come to the realization that throwing money at something and then throwing more money at something is not always the solution. That last sentence has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with political affiliation or race/ethnicity.

Do you mean the U.S. would have to send aid which essentially means returning so much of the money that the Texas economy provides for the Federal Government? The Feds might miss the Texas contribution substantially.

I am not as concerned with who is getting free stuff as I am with the total outlays for free stuff and the seeming ignorance of so many who believe it is free.

Yes we do, Dove. Apparently Mrs. Obama didnt agree until 2008, when she declared that, for the first time in her adult lifetime, she was proud of her country.

as in free stuff?

Prepare to be labeled a racist for that comment!!!

And the left always claims it is the champion of tolerance and civility.

Isnt this great? We are having a discussion about the economic health of this country and straight out of nowhere comes the race card. If you cant win an argument, throw out " old reliable". Does that approach reflect the superior intellect and broadmindedness that the left claims to own exclusively?

Disagree- deficit simply shows how much more one is spending than earning in a given year. Debt provides an overall evaluation of the long term impact of the deficit.

Does this mean that you believe, as I do, that this statement was one of the more ridiculous ones made by our President or does it mean you were/are unaware that he made that statement?

If one cannot distinguish between the two, importance/relative importance is of little consequence. Most individuals and corporations cannot continue to run an annual deficit if their debt gets too high. Unfortunately, the Federal Government simply borrows more money to cover what it owes. That cant go on forever. Hence the first downgrade in this countrys debt rating in History during the current administration.

Why let a failed marriage get in the way of ones political aspirations?

Well Tobie, just like Mrs. Clinton, the justice system found these people innocent. Are you once again practicing "selective satisfaction" with the justice system?

Tax returns are filed every year with the IRS. Rest assured that if something had been handled improperly in the prior years, Lois Lerner and her crowd would have been all over it and the dems would be shouting from all corners of the country. They know right now what all of his returns claim through 2014 and can only plant doubt in your mind because there is nothing concrete to bring forth.

And why would they be broke?
