Bullshit, its all irrelevant to the issue at hand. The irs specifically targeted groups they didnt like and asked them to jump through hoops.which were highly illegal. For example you cant ask them for their member list, or if they are religious, all things asked. If they did the same thing to socialsts communists black panthers gay groups women groups or the kkk, id still feel the same, this shouldnt be partisain, unless you beleive it was ok and that makes it ok when the other side has the whitehouse...remember that
The government has days retention laws though, this should not be an issue, it should be on a server or on backups, also they have the resources to recover from a bad hdd
PATRIOT Act
Paul broke with his party by voting against the PATRIOT Act in 2001; he also voted against its 2005 enactment.[122] He has spoken against federal use of what he defines as torture and what he sees as an abuse of executive authority during the Iraq War to override Constitutional rights.[123]
and I think you're referring to the latter Tea Party, when Koch/Palin took it over from its Ron Paul/Rothbardian beginnings
Its shocking how many people are ignornant of the facts when it comes to this. The first modern tea party was set up by paul and his people, I know because I was one of them. then the establishment took it over for fear of people actually agreeing with crazy ideas of ron pauls like... not getting in to everyone elses conflicts and....spending within our means. crazy I know
Now a days you talk to anyone who is a tea partier, and they laugh at us and act like we didnt lay the foundation for them.
true, and obama signed off on it, while at the same time bitching and moaning about how much bush abused the office, then he cranks the abuse meter up to 11
if I get a call from any political org who does this kind of thing, I will go out of my way to vote for "the other guy" regardless of who the other guy is, hell he could be a KKK member or a feminazi but if i start getting targeted direction trying to get me to vote the way someone else wants me to, they got another thing coming
I'm asking you specifically what should i do since you seem to know it all I already told you I can afford to move and I need my car, so what do I do to sacrifice my fair share without causing myself to be homeless??
which is why i specifically gave the scientists a pass and pointed out that its the media that I find to be causing most of the misplaced fear. I doubt any scientists even the ones who believe in AGW want to cut off all oil now
well ill agree that it may not be the scientists that are the problem but the media, first its global warming, then global cooling, then global warming again, then climate change, than AGW, and now im hearing the obama admin using terms like "impending climate doom"
I dont blame the scientists for this, but i hope you can see why other non scientists are getting sick and tired of it all
the same measurement as he is. thousands of hours observing teachers in classrooms (being a student) and talking with teachers and principals (a good 50% of my friends are teachers) The 3rd one ill admit I got nothing
What advantage does a fragmented government have over a centralized national government? It does not, in practice, seem to reduce corruption, efficiency, or tyranny. The primary thing that this structure effectively maintains is cultural homogeneity in particular areas, which, to me, is not a positive thing.
but to specifically answer this question. Numerous things. For one, do you NOT see whats going on with the NSA? I for one do not want the government spying on americans. it should not be done. If we didnt have state governemnts to fight the federal government on this issue, they would simply tell us too bad.
Fragmentation in government is good for other reasons as well. Different people believe differently as such there SHOULD be a choice for americans on how they want to live. People who live in washington and never leave washington have no idea what people in the dakotas or texas or NY need or want. I dont want them deciding for me how to live
yes, but its much easier to elect new local goverment to move a few towns over or a state over. if we all lived under federal rule, what options do i have? its not that easy to up and move to another country.
federal employees "smarter" than locals? by what measurement??? because I can tell you the opposite is true in many number of real world scenarios.
removing state governments would be the WORST thing in the world to happen to america. I dont want some paper pushers in washington telling me how to live my life. I want the people I live with and me agreeing on how to live our lives. Thats what this country was founded on. Im sorry but if you REALLY feel this way, you are unamerican, and not unamerican in the way politicians use it but unamerican as in you dont believe in the ideals what what make america great
Curry isn't the only one to suggest flaws in established climate models. IPCC vice chair Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium at the University of Victoria in Canada, co-wrote a paper published in this month's Nature Climate Change that said climate models had "significantly" overestimated global warming over the last 20 years — and especially for the last 15 years, which coincides with the onset of the hiatus.
federally yes that is what I want and what everyone should want. the federal government should not be doing anything but the bare minimum as intended. Leave the power in the hands of the states and local governments
im all for getting rid of establishment republicans and replacing them with libertarians and te party members. Just as im all for getting rid of establishment democrats and replacing them with greenies

Something tells me nintendo might have some words for them if they try and sell the device under that name.
i want to hide the fact that I have nothing to hide
The peering market 'has functioned effectively and efficiently for over two decades without government intervention,
that was before they got greedy (greedier?)

I say fines for 1st issue, jail for 2nd warning, and having your business taken and sold at auction for a 3rd offense

ron paul, his son I believe may support parts of some of those but your point stands

well when you people keep changing the rules of the game the other side is going to have to change their response. Dont forget that.
yes and no
We need to secure the border or more people will continue to break the law and come in here
If he had the border secure, we would not have to worry about amnesty as there wouldnt be people here who dont belong here
