    Supporting (or fighting) neither is an option. Nuking both is an option. Carve up the middle east into smaller and smaller bits until the bits no longer threaten anyone else is an option.

    There are plenty of options, many would have kept us from giving Iran Nukes like we just did, so that they will help us fight ISIS because we won't actually fight them.

    So, gay marriage was ALWAYS legal (constitutionally) and just now found out? Interesting viewpoint. So, believe everything said by 9 people in black robes about law is correct? Even when the overturn previous rulings made by the same court?

    The problem here, isn't what is "legal" vs what is "illegal". Just because something is legal doesn't make it right. Just because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong.

    "Is there some part of this that is confusing to you?"

    I am quite clear that not all things that are "illegal" are "wrong". I'm wondering why that is so hard for people to grasp.

    Yes, because the choice is between Government enslavement and anarchy. There is no reasonable middle ground that we can debate over.

    Because if it is between the extremes of Government Laws over every last aspect of my life, and anarchy, I'll happily choose anarchy and be free. You can choose enslavement if you want, just don't expect me to join you.

    Its better than the alternative, which is

    "I want to tax and regulate everything to death, screw everyone and damn the consequences"

    The difference is picking who is screwing you, the free will association you choose, or the government guns that enforce the other. I know which one I trust more ... and it isn't the government.

    No, what he calls "subsidies" is actually programs that help people live. There are no "subsidies" for oil, they don't exist (at least directly). These are programs like "strategic oil reserve", and "Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program" (HEAP) are counted as ... you guessed it, "Subsidies".

    And nowhere, do liberals ever talk about how much Government actually makes off Oil (Profits taxed, gasoline taxes etc), which amount to way more than what the oil companies get in profits.

    IF anyone is getting "rich" off "big oil" it is government. And I can't wait till we are all on Renewable fuels that ARE subsidized, and the government loses a huge amount of their income.

    And then you'll see liberals come out and want to tax "Solar Panels" and "biofuels" ....

    Yeah, right. This is something politicians never do when enacting new laws regarding economic conditions. See "Minimum Wage Laws" and the results of fewer jobs after increasing Min Wage.

    What makes it intrinsically illegal? Just because there is a law? I wonder how you feel about Illegal Aliens (er Undocumented residents). Gay Marriage was illegal just a few months ago in a wide number of places in the US.

    So you believe that business models deserve protection from competition by creating legal loops that do not do anything except protect economic interests?

    It isn't Party loyalty that's the problem, it is the parties themselves that are the problem.

    Eliminate Party Primaries, and have complete and open primaries, and you'll have much better representation than the current binary system we have today.

    My obsession with the "black community" is about why they keep repeating the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, namely voting for the same people.

    I feel really sorry that they have bought the lie that (D) politicians care about them, while denying them the things that would REALLY help their community, like school choice and opportunities to succeed. But how can you keep a free people as slaves unless you create a system of utter dependance and despair?

    The greatest racism I've seen is the subtle insidious kind that says "you can't progress without our help". This is complete bullshit and is the very thing that enslaves them to this day.

    And heaven forbid should a black person succeed and say the same thing I am, because then the real attacks begin ... "not black enough", "uncle Tom", "house N****R", "acting white" (whatever that means) ...

    I don't mind people calling me a racist for saying black people don't need help from white people, I really don't. It simply proves my point, white people saying black people need white people's help are nothing short of modern plantation masters.

    Of course I don't either, but that's also because who runs a district is pretty irrelevant to a discussion of whether district, state and federal policy combinations are leading to a particular outcome.

    See Baltimore for demonstrable reproof of your simplistic belief. The results of poor leadership are happening every day. But the idiot mayor won't be held into account by the voters, and the Police Commissioner just got scapegoated.

    How can you support more kids with less money?

    You can't. And that is kind of the point.

    I don't deny "welfare success stories" I simply suggest that they are the exception, not the rule. I know most kids raised in drug addicted parental households don't succeed. I also know of a few kids that grew up that way that succeeded in spite of it. And everyone of them didn't get shit for help from the government welfare systems, they were helped by kind people who saw a bad situation and helped out kids who wanted and appreciated it.

    Chicago Event happens practically daily, but specifically was about the 10 people killed over the weekend, that doesn't get news because it wasn't a white nutjob waving a confederate flag. It is mostly black on black, and yet there aren't any "Black Lives Matters" protests. I wonder why?

    By the time I need to reuse a Linux ISO, there is a newer version out there and I have to download it again anyways. It has little to nothing to do with bandwidth. My view is different because waiting two hours for an ISO to download isn't that big of a deal.

    Because one happens all the time, and the other is fairly rare. Lets do everything we can to prevent the latter, and nothing to stop the former is just as silly of an option.

    OR to put it into terms that even simple binary viewed liberals can understand, there are a lot more people who have had their lives ruined by cyber attacks/fraud/abuse than guns.

    We're not talking about JUST "adobe flash exploit" (nice mocking tone there btw), we're talking about exploits that are used to gain access to all sorts of information that cause BILLIONS of dollars in damages every year, affecting Millions of people. So, while Murder (already against the law) is bad, so too is the impact on data breaches.

    And frankly, putting everything in the hands of government is much scarier proposition than the small chance I get killed by a gun. BTW, I have had a murder tragedy in my life, three of my best friends growing up were killed, not with a gun. If guns kill people, then spoons make people fat.
