Why do you practice, promote, and defend cultism, religiosity, and Randroidism? Is it your goal to DEFEAT Objectivism and Ayn Rand? If so, you're doing a marvelous job.

I was reminded of the advice when McCain told his supporters that it was his fault he lost the election. Only someone who holds self-sacrifice as a moral ideal would automatically take the blame.

I'm a liberal, and I, too, would like to see one of the liberal 3rd party candidates in office, but the majority of the population will never feel this way. Do republicans support Nader? Hell yes they do, because people voting for him are taking away a potential Democratic vote. Nader (God bless him) doesn't stand a snowball's chance at winning a presidential election, so why on earth would you vote for him in order to benefit the Republican candidate??? There's been a lot of study on this phenomenon. For example: http://www.counterpunch.org/bates09252004.html Or just google 'republicans support Nader' Todd B. Alex,

The reality is that there is something along the lines of $6 Trillion in these accounts, currently, all in cash or equivs, and, at some point in time, it will be FAR too difficult for politicos to keep their hands off of it. I cashed mine out, and I will pay the tax penalty. I do believe that these accounts will be seized, at some point in time. To me, I think it's OBVIOUS. $6 Trillion, just sitting there, all in cash, all just waiting for the first politician bright enough to recognize the amount of money here and just how easy it would be to seize the whole thing. In my opinion, anybody stupid enough to have one of these accounts deserves whatever he gets -- and will most certainly get it, too: robbed.

I stumbled across your article and I am shocked by what you had to say in your article. What is your suggestion to the family of someone that becomes metally disabled due to an accident? Abortion is murder and there is NO WAY that anyone can justify that it is not. If the "mass" inside of a female is not a living being then why does a procedure have to be done to "get rid" of it? Life is precious and the blessings that we have already received from our baby is unmeasurable. I THANK GOD that HE saw fit to bless us with our beautiful baby that just happens to have down syndrome. GOOD LUCK to YOU in your "normal world".

But do you realize that your argument could be used as a reason to force women against their will into having abortions? Think about it. You just compared Palin's choice to bring Trig to term to rape. "But what can we say about a parent that chooses a life of suffering upon their child? If we are morally outraged by child rapists, how should we judge a parent who chooses a lifetime of suffering on their own child?" I mentioned this earlier in other comment where I linked to your post. https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29196034&postID=8278213714854350738&pli=1 This is something you really should take the time to think about.
