Modern progressives explicitly reject the founding fathers ideal of a limited government.

Our founding fathers had a certain fondness for the simplicity of freedom and individualism. Thankfully, they did not suffer from the soft bigotry of low expectations. I reject your notion of a utopia, but I have not yet lost faith in humanity.

Individualism and personal freedom cannot be over emphasized, as they are the cornerstones of responsibility: http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/individualism-and-freedom-vital-pillars-of-true-communities#axzz2YBSl58Xd

And when they find that old shoebox full of letters in Grandma's attic ? ? ?

I will teach my child to read and write in cursive.

Such a shame that future generations may not be able to read our nation's original founding documents.

It's about time some folks stopped bitterly clinging to the past.

Maybe we should add tens of millions more low skilled workers to the labor market...

You might do well to read the parable of the broken window...

Stop playing the victim... most of us know better.

And then they found there was good money to be made dealing blackjack...

I was labeled a Nazi for daring to ask a question about gun control.

Pubby, your progressive vision ignores the fact that old technologies are being replaced by new technologies every day. When the fast food worker is eventually replaced by a robot, we will still need folks to design and repair those robots. Where is your faith in human evolution ? ? ?

Immigration bill would hurt American workers: Why Are Illegal Immigrants More Important Than American Citizens?

Is it practical to add 46 million people to the labor market when 23 million American citizens are unemployed ? ? ?

CBO projects 16 million new immigrants will be added by 2033 on top of the current law projected flow of 22 million and that 8 million illegal immigrants will be granted permanent status – for a total of 46 million legal immigrants, including a doubling of guest workers to 1.6 million in a single year. The new workers would be less skilled and have lower wages, on average, than the labor force under current law. Taking into account all of those flows of new immigrants, CBO and JCT expect that a greater number of immigrants with lower skills than with higher skills would be

This bill will drive down wages and cost American taxpayers billions of dollars.

How about this one ? ? ? Man cuts off both of his own hands with radial arm saw. I can see him cutting off one hand, but how does he then remove the other one ? http://www.woai.com/mostpopular/story/Man-allegedly-stabs-father-cuts-off-own-hands/7tBEwGn99ki79t6rIu75VA.cspx

Citizens United does NOT allow "unlimited corporate campaign donations."

I do not own a cell phone and life is good.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can ch
