random thought of the moment:
The truth is that the state must hide not only its wars but all of its activities. It hides its inflation. It hides the effects of its taxation and its protectionism.

as well jubilant conservatives. I think both have been duped.
Specter knew darn well that the motion to […]
RE: Peace in Pieces
Regarding "Peace in Pieces"
Some of my friends have tried to argue that diversity builds credibility. While this can be true, I do not believe it to be the case here. What's happening is a lot of lefties claiming there's support from the right and a few righties pointing to the swarm on the left. Neither […]
