Marcotte Anderson commented on Kevin R Mullins's blog post 'We have a Spending Problem, Not A Revenue Problem'
It is true that we have to reign in spending. It is also true that we have to raise enough revenue to pay for the services that the electorate wants.
If the electorate wants the Federal Government to wage wars officially in 2 countries and…

The release of an obviously fraudulent “birth certificate” this past week
Oh, dear Lord.

The election of President Barack Obama in 2008 is now largely attributed to the slavish adoration and biased reporting that lifted him from virtual obscurity and put him in the Oval Office.
Citation most definitely needed.

Question: Do you still believe that Obama is not an American?
Still ducking the hard questions I see.
Marcotte Anderson commented on Alan Caruba's blog post 'The United States of Stupid'
I agree with a lot of this post. Applying one size fits all solutions to something that is as varied as education is at best difficult and at worst dangerous. Creating standardized tests to evaluate student's performance only leads…
Marcotte Anderson commented on Alan Caruba's blog post 'The United States of Stupid'
The real problem with such top-down, one-size-fits-all legislation is that, once passed in one State, it spreads to others and, of course, it has its origins at the federal level.
If it's passed by the State, how does it have it's origins…

Another Question:
Because three terrorist attacks, including the Fort Hood murders, had previously been swept under the rug by the Obama administration.
I'm guessing the other two attacks were the Underwear Bomber and the Times Square Bomber.…

Why, I've written 11 posts of my very own on this very site. I have also written pieces on other sites, such as infinitemonkeysblog.com. I'm devastated that you didn't notice.
Unfortunately, I am not a freelance writer by trade and…
Marcotte Anderson commented on Alan Caruba's blog post 'Obama vs. Israel'
Is Obama a Muslim? Does Obama hate Israel? Will Israel be attacked again? Will Iran nuke Israel? Has Maghreb and Middle Eastern turmoil flummoxed the White House? Why did Obama bow to Saudi Arabia’s king? Questions, questions, questions?
No.…

digital online learning should be expanded.
This is an interesting idea. Do you have a link explaining in more detail what Behrend is proposing?
It seems natural that we should leverage the power of the internet and file & video sharing to…

calls for higher taxes and measures that sound increasingly bizarre to ordinary Americans—the latest being to tax people based on how many miles they drive their cars anywhere, such as to work, if they have a job in this economy.
What would be…

It is, however, northern African and Middle Eastern nations that are being restructured from within by millions of Muslims who have grown tired of the century’s old oppression that has been Islam’s hallmark.
Mubarak, Ben Ali and…

if you want to really see them take off in popularity, just legally ban them.
Grant, is that an argument for legalization of marijuana, or simply an argument against the criminalization of this and other currently legal drugs?
Marcotte Anderson commented on Alan Caruba's blog post 'Nutty Professors and Nutty New Taxes'
I guess there is a character limit - it kept cutting off my comment.

You end recessions
I guess you weren't paying attention. The recession ended in late 2009/early 2010. Just because we still have relatively high unemployment doesn't mean the economy hasn't recovered. To be sure, it hasn't fully…
Marcotte Anderson commented on Alan Caruba's blog post 'Nutty Professors and Nutty New Taxes'
The idiocy of Binder’s “miracle tax” is that, if you can tax CO2, what is to prevent government from taxing oxygen too? Or nitrogen? Hell, just tax the entirety of the Earth’s atmosphere because, obviously, we are just using…

Obama, the Failed Communist
Much political hay has been made over the past two years about Obama the Communist, especially after the Government bailout/takeover of General Motors. But Obama has failed at his alleged goal of keeping the auto giant nationalized, as the Treasury Department is now poised to offer its stock to the public in an IPO scheduled for November 18. The IPO will reduce the Federal Government's stake from 61% to around…

Thoughts on Freedom Pub Conversations
Why do you come to Freedom Pub? Are you here to expand your knowledge about government, policy and taxation? Are you here to talk to other people? Are you here to have your ideas challenged and/or improved? For me, it "Yes," "Yes," and "Yes." I come here to be exposed to new ideas, challenge those ideas, and have my ideas challenged. I come here to interact.
I think my…

March to Keep Fear Alive / Rally to Restore Sanity
On a lighter note, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are holding competing rallies in Washington DC on October 30th.
"America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear -- that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear -- forces with salt and pepper hair… Continue
