Funny. Everywhere I look there's war and ethnic conflict. I haven't gotten the impression it's particular to the west.

Crazy stuff. NK can afford to develop nuclear weapons, missiles, and put on their communist games extravaganza, but NK can't feed their own people. Somehow, it becomes the expectation that SK should give them food?

In other words, SK should subsidize NK's wasteful government. Crazy.

skip,

I don't know anything about Ron Paul being a racist - a term which people seem to throw around casually here on JT. Nothing in the book I recommended would suggest it.

Anyhow, as I said earlier, I don't agree 100% with his views in the book, but it's…

"" Hm or am I correct? By 2050 Whites will make up 46 percent of the population.

Hm now how does that make whites not the majority? When Hispanics will make up 30 percent and Blacks 15 percent.

Let us do the math, Whites 46% , Blacks 15% , Hispanics…

Man, please run for office!

I need to give credit where it's due: the idea of eliminating so many political hot-button, social issues by eliminating the unconstitutional powers of federal judges, congressmen, and the president comes from Ron Paul. If you haven't read it yet, I'd highly recommend "The Revolution"…

In a democratic republic such as the U.S. the most "just" tax would be either a poll tax (taxation in direct proportion to representation) or a citizen tax (divide the national budget by the number of citizens and send a bill to every citizen). I can't see that any other…

When asked about America’s greatest moral failure, Obama said it is the insufficient help the U.S. gives the disadvantaged. He noted that the Bible quotes Jesus as saying “whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.” He said the maxim should apply to victims of…

People would probably be less concerned over "moral" issues from a political standpoint if they weren't worried that a handful of people in Washington D.C. could dictate morality to them. This cuts both ways, too. It's not just a right-left issue.

For example, would the people of Alabama be particularly…

First of all thanks for taking the time to respond and discuss this.

I'm not particularly interested how you define a nation.

I hope you'll allow me to quickly explain why I think it's important. The idea of nation is central to being unified by some common ground. Without this…
