How about the government just keep its fingers out of my salary negotiations by not issuing highly restrictive work visas to people that my boss can then hire for less?
Not at all. The law being discussed exists to protect the identity of Germany's many ex-Nazis. The Holocaust denial law seeks to prevent a repeat of their mistakes.
Actually, the ultimate source of farts is atmospheric CO2 sequestered by the chlorophyll in green vegetation.
It's only the evil fossil fuels that add massive quantities of CO2 to the atmosphere.
I can't believe there are so many slashdotters who defend Iran but have nothing more to say than "Look over there! Israel! Jews!" Anti-Semitism is soooo twentieth century.
It's clear that you are not well versed in Conservative Science, because you're not being Fair And Balanced. The five basic principles of Conservative Science are as follows:
1) The earth is six thousand years old.
2) Pi equals three.
3) Global warming is not real.
4) Evolution never happened.
5) Cells are people too.
President Obama previously used a BlackBerry to help him manage his campaign organization, which was effectively a successful $800 million corporation. Unless you're Rush Limbaugh you would want him to manage the Federal Executive branch at least as well.
It is my position that your precious third-party candidates are just Democrats and Republicans who know that their ideas and qualifications won't stand up to the scrutiny of major party primary election campaigns.
And if you're a president lying to Congress about Saddam Hussein trying to buy yellow cake uranium in Niger, and thereby causing thousands of deaths, it's legal?
It would be awesome if the open source Rockbox media player firmware was ported to the Zune and could use the "squirt" hardware, but without that nasty DRM.
If as a result of paying your taxes there are now, for example, bridges and roadways where there weren't before, then freedom is created. You can now go more places. It's not all one-sided bad.
If you grab my wallet that's stealing, but taxation with representation is not. After all, it's your country. Therefore, it's your highways, your schools, your national defense, and your national debt. If you don't like the way it's currently being financed, then vote for a representative who would do it differently. However, as a citizen, it's your obligation to help foot the bill. These things don't just fall from the sky for free.
When you steal from one person to give to another person, nothing is created, it's only destroyed. So no, jobs won't be created, wealth will simply be redistributed.
First, if you steal from one person and give it to another person, nothing is destroyed.
Second, taxation is not stealing.
Third, the article you link to is based on a very obvious logical fallacy: money spent on infrastructure does indeed create wealth. The created wealth is in the form of infrastructure. Duh.
Meanwhile, as President-elect Obama contemplates hiring 1997 Nobel Physics laureate Dr. Chu for Secretary of Energy, the current EPA Administrator, Stephen Johnson, just proclaimed that there is "no clean-cut division between science and religion".
I'm really looking forward to January 20th when the grownups take charge for the first time in eight years.
Think of the internet as part of the school library, except that the internet is many times the size of the Library of Congress, and kids can have the keys to that library 24 hours per day.

It'll still be better than Vista.
They all stink.

I'd like to see the email from Exxon-Mobil to you saying "the check's in the mail."

Funny, I don't remember you right-wingers asking me whether or not I wanted to pay for your Iraq war.

Hostile phone maker? We've got an app for that!

Well what if granny planted an obviously biased judge who found for her and as a result the case is being appealed?
It's your country.
It's your national defense.
It's your crumbling infrastructure.
It's your overcrowded classrooms.
It's your national debt.
Do your citizenly duty and pay your taxes or else leave.
Pigs are now called h1n1s. Charlotte is in the process of editing her web.

Same as the old boss, only not as well vetted.
Don't ask Slashdot, ask the 10,000 Florida liberals who voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and as a result got George W. Bush.
This reminds me of the dog food advertised to have "real cheese flavor". Who wants to be the judge of that?
You're not a big fan of State of the Union addresses, are you?
