I love the article's title: "What is best for freedom?". It then presents two options: government regulation i.e. anti-freedom, or freedom.

Hmm, tough call.



Sorry, but what's moronic is having a system altered for the profit of a few companies when our hard earned tax dollars went to set if up in the first place.  You want to pay extra for accessing this site at the speed you are accustomed to?  Fine.  You want to further enrich these companies at your expense?  You are totally free to send them more of your money voluntarily right now.

I won't disagree but how many are out there on the Democrats side?
IMO there was Russ Feingold but he got the unceremonious boot thanks to that (D) next to his name.
There is very little honor and decency in Congress.

I honestly grow more apathetic about both parties (well the Dems) and politics every day LOL

Republicans have one to zero on the Democrats side.

Of course, the financial issue of illegal immigrants ceases to be an issue if the governments were funded solely by consumption taxes.

The government has no problem doing that with other criminals.  Imprisonments rather than deportations, of course.

I wonder how the Mexican government would like millions of Americans sneaking into their country...

The "immigrants-rights advocate" language is misleading also.  These people want rights for illegal immigrants.  I'm all for legal immigration- that's a cool thing.

Whenever Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and other immigrant-rights advocates asked President Obama how a Democratic administration could preside over the greatest number of deportations in any two-year period in the nation's history, Obama's answer was always the same.

Deporting almost 800,000 illegal immigrants might antagonize some Democrats and Latino voters, Obama's skeptical supporters said the president told them, but stepped-up enforcement was the only way to buy credibility with Republicans and generate bipartisan support for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/18/AR2010121803271.html


In other words, "We don't want to enforce our laws because our voters might not like that."

But I do love how the libertarian who made this did their best job to lay some blame on Bush, but really ended up dumping it all on Bama

Don't worry there's plenty of blame to go around.

Obama on common sense: Rewarding lawlessness.

Nice political hail Mary throwing this issue before a lame duck Congress.

I'd rather see the military repealed, but I still like it.

I approve.


It was only a matter of time, literally.
It happened in the house and the senate passed that BS "wait period while the military looks into" thing.

But yes. This is a very good thing!
