However, to get directly back to the OP, I would argue that you feel this way because you bought into the Republican line of Democrats being limp-wristed granola munchers that want to lie in the...

I don't think "moral obligation" really enters into what the police do, nor really should it. If you're talking moral obligation, then really the police officers may see it as the man essentially...

It probably depends on what you're "redeeming" yourself from. Human nature being what it is, some folks are going to hold more of a grudge/attitude/view/etc than others. So, once you get a name for...

I would dispute that you are likely to see more than say, 60ish percent of the population voting, just because of human nature and interest levels. The voter turnout since 1920 hasn't gone about 63%...

Hmm. I'm kind of getting into walls of text without thesis points, which is never good. Let's see if I can condense what I'm thinking.

Well, this took an interesting turn. I wasn't so much protesting the current state of things as resigning myself to it. I'd always been more of an opponent of permanent bannings, as I felt we had the...

I'd say it's accurate, although I don't agree with rye's points and I don't think the article is making them. I think the Republicans decided to get too pushy on stopping the ACA at all costs, rather...
