The line I'm drawing is based on choice. In the first, you have a bunch of people getting together and making a particular decision. In the second you have them removing the choice directly for...

I have no objection to a boycott. I don't owe a particular artist my patronage and can withhold it for any reason I like. As others have said, this is pretty basic and it's important to be able to...

To back up Peremensoe: gas prices were REALLY HIGH in '08. During the primaries, Hilary tried to make hay of it (McCain too). Obama was the only one of the three contenders for the throne at the time...

I have to question what the hell the Romney campaign is thinking, here. They'd have been much better off just saying something about how unfair the ad is, keeping the attention on the ad itself. Now,...

Were those citizens on US soil at the time? I know citizens fighting for the Taliban or Al Qaeda have been so designated, but on US soil it's a different matter (I'll be happy to change my mind with...
