What good are they if they are not going to be supported by a majority (and sometimes a super-majority)? By your logic, Hillary Rodham Clinton's universal healthcare proposal was the solution for the problem of those less fortunate in society being unable to afford basic healthcare. It wasn't, only because other people had other objectives that it didn't satisfy, and their perspectives counted. Remember: Just because you have a preference that will address what you consider the objectives doesn't mean that they address what everyone else considers the objectives. Living in society with others requiring learning to think beyond just yourself and your own interests.
Says the lemming. The past is yours only for the present.
My bad, you are right, Kiselyov - handpicked by Russian President Vladimir Putin last year to head a new state news agency — made the inflammatory remarks standing in front of a photo of a mushroom cloud.
And and how the liberals mocked Romney when he warned that Russia was a geopolitical foe. How many times can Obama be wrong before libs see it lol.
Chris Matthews
"I don’t know what decade this guy’s living in,” Chris Matthews said in a March 28, 2012 episode of his MSNBC show, "Hardball." "It sounds like, if not ’72, ’52 even. It’s not Stalin over there, it’s not Khrushchev, it’s not Brezhnev. It’s Medvedev."
What kind of aggression against the USA was Russia engaged in at that time? The answer: none.
Can anybody tell Mr. Sowell that the way word "socialism" as used today it has less to do with Soviet Union but more with rich, successful countries like Germany or Sweden? Maybe he should take a trip and see how nice is to live in a country without ghettos?

The president has stated that he wants to fundamentally change America. Sowell puts this statement in proper perspective when he said: “ I think this man (Obama) really does believe he can change the world, and people like that are i nfinitely more dangerous than mere crooked politicians.”
Not at all. I meant exactly what I said. If a person has trouble with basic language it causes one to wonder about how informed that person's opinions are. What factual basis do they rest upon, etc.
If you have read anything else I have posted, you know I don't have trouble with basic language. I think my communication/writing skills are better than average, and I think I am better informed than the vast majority of "liberals" that post in this forum.
Everyone makes typos from time to time, and when posting a quick reply on a forum such as this, it can happen very easily.
As a Web designer, copy writer, and aspiring freelance commercial writer, I assure you, I go over my work with a fine tooth comb; write, re-write, re-arrange, read and re-read.
Now let's find out how you measure up. Do you have anything thought provoking to say? Let's examine your writing skills, and your intelligence, shall we?

Correct. Making the same typo twice in the same short message, though, that's unique, indicating something other than a typo.
How about instead of making excuses, you acknowledge that the authenticity of the quotations used in an attempt to defend your perspective is inadequate instead of working so hard to deflect attention away from that error with defenses of your typing error?
To be fair, anyone who suggests anyone else jump off a cliff, even jokingly, is "more worthless" to this country than the partisans on the opposite side of my own perspective. There's a bit of wisdom we use often at work: Lead, follow or get out of the way. It might make sense here.
I suppose you think none of us have ever heard that before.
I notice that you seem to enjoy putting words and phrases together that mean absolutely nothing. Clear thinking is a skill, and effective writing is more than just stringing words together to make you appear intelligent when you are not. So far, you have not convinced me that you possess either skill.
Why not contribute some intelligent thought to the topic of this thread? Or don't you have one?
