Only Betzee can answer for Betzee. As for me, if those are my only choices I'd say that an 18-year-old carrying her child to term most outrages me. But then I would also say that of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Martin Van Buren, Jefferson most outrages me.
I didn't see the part where Betzee expressed a concern about supporting someone else's child. I saw an expression of concern regarding Palin's judgment as reflected in her parenting. And I saw a concern for the purse.
The way I thought the two were related was that if Palin…
I agree with you that the Republicans would have been better off to draft Rice. I think that would have been a far more palatable choice than Palin to women and blacks. As for Christian conservatives, they might prefer Palin but a minister's daughter couldn't have been a bad…
In my town back in the states there is a large tract of land east of the divided state highway and north of town. The land is subdivided into tiny little lots on which sit small houses which can only be adequately described as crackerboxes. The cars are not…
Well, you'll have to stay off the Internet if you want to avoid the political pitches altogether. Other than that, I'm sure you're right about how Obama will try to use his funding advantage. However, the advantage is so large that it still seems to me that the idea…
Regarding the money that Obama has raised, I wonder if that might not work to his disadvantage in these final weeks. If McCain has a strong finish message I think it is to call attention to Obama's reneging on his original promise to accept public funding, to appeal to American's…
A lot of other people did not move their investments into gold and commodities because they had no investments. People who cannot afford health insurance are not exactly swimming in investment capital. People who are trying to create a college fund for their children from a meager income have…
Of course central planners cannot control markets. Neither can free markets generate financial security for a society. A mix is required to achieve even an imperfect solution.
In regard to rushing to authorize a new tranche of spending to address the "crisis", I'd be in favor of waiting to see…

I think he means the same thing that you have been told by the current administration for the last 7 years: The world is a dangerous place.
If we have enemies--and it seems to me that you believe that we do--don't you think the enemies will test the mettle…

There's not much choice between a secular Left turning to politics for their religion and a theistic Right turning to religion for their politics.
Most of the "secular Left" are also religious. They just don't wear it on their sleeves or beat their neighbors over the head with it.
