Who says that population has to be controlled by government? Population is controlled by other factors. "Control" just implies that the population size is steady; this could come about for biological or social reasons.
Everyone deserves courtesy. It has little to do with how little you think of them, but how much you value yourself. Singling out people as somehow exempt from common courtesy makes you as bad a person as you believe them to be.
Really? Democrats want to shrink the size of the federal government, and return more power to the people and the states? Democrats claim that giving more power to the states and people will result in segregation and anarchy. Democrats want to keep taxes low? How, when they want to increase the size of entitlement programs?
The WoW strategy will backfire big time. They messed up bit time here... really, the only issue I have is with her talking about drowning Grover Norquist in the bathtub. In my world, death threats are a real concern. Imagine Romney joking about drowning Rachel Maddow or Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the bathtub, and you get the idea. Obviously, the joke is based on Norquist's comment about shrinking government, but there's a big difference between a joke about an abstract concept and a direct threat.
People use checks because taking plastic cards is not free. If you're in the field (like a plumber), you also need some sort of air card in addition to a card reader and the percentage fee from Visa, Mastercard, etc. Checks are free or next to free. Also, not everyone has good credit-- not even good enough to get a bank account with a debit card. Is there some socialist program in the Eurozone that requires banks to give people debit cards?
Because he always uses one-- always. Reagan often used notes. Reagan was also clearly more comfortable answering questions, even though he was far older than Obama and clearly occasionally suffered from "senior moments" even before he developed Alzheimer's. What's the real difference? Reagan acknowledged the value of the opinions of others, and expected criticism. Obama's reaction to criticism or mere questions on his ideas are answered by confused fumbling or barely constrained contempt for the challenger.
W rarely used a teleprompter; he preferred old-fashioned index cards. Does that make him dumber, or smarter than Obama and Reagan?
SNAP is a special debit card that is used for food, and only for food. The amount of their food stamp benefit is irrelevant to the cost of the ID.
My first apartment cost $425/a month, but that was in 1996. That being said, we're always told by Democrats that all poor people are minorities who live in crime-ridden ghettos, and housing is cheaper there so I imagine there are a lot of people paying little more than I did. My apartment was cheap, but it wasn't a studio (albeit it was old) and it was a nice neighborhood in a nice town.
Why are you ignoring the fact that most of those agencies, notably the EPA and the FCC, have abused their powers in order to infringe on the property and free speech rights of citizens? That's not "effective" in a positive manner.
You got your way today. A judge upheld the injunction, so voter fraud will be allowed to continue unabated this year.
The law wasn't just passed. It's been MONTHS, and it was reported in papers for a YEAR that a bill was in the legislature and likely to pass, so anyone who took voting seriously could at least try to find out how to get one. Showing up at the last minute and whining that you didn't have enough time is really like that kid who waits to write the five page essay until the night before and, unsurprisingly, gets an F.
A properly functioning republic already compensates for "tyranny of the majority" without having to suffer from the meddling and judgment calls of both the corrupt and the well-meaning. After all, if the political process is too flawed to adequately represent the minority population, how is a sympathetic representative going to obtain the power to modify the district? We don't need the political equivalent of busing.

Obama made it worse.
Prove it.

What do you mean by growth? Growth in size, or technology?

There's a pirate version of Limewire; whether that's really malware, I don't know. But you could still use older versions that weren't disabled.
I used to do that until the critical misses started ruining my days.

The database system crashed when it hit 2^24-1 comments, but I believe this was an application problem and no data was lost.
It's dead. Netcraft confirms it.

How cheap is cheap enough for you?

How many guns out of hundreds of thousands in the USA are actually used to kill people, yet how often does the left try to restrict their use?
Dead, committed, or imprisoned people don't show up to vote.
My wife does not drive, but she wanted a state photo ID so she could-- get this-- VOTE (because you need one to REGISTER) and GET A BANK ACCOUNT!
Let's keep it real, to put this stupid thread in perspective: the photo ID costs $13.50.
Why is it that Democrats are the only ones affected by this law?

Yeah, it's a shame that we don't have written or road tests to get a driver's license.
Who is paying for this?
Who profits?
